Foot fetish ... !!

Ok. The title doesn't exactly give away the contents of this post :)

On a lazy Saturday afternoon, Biwi and I saw (I think I regret watching it with her) possibly the stupidest(in a good way) movie at home. It goes by the name of "You don't mess with the Zohan". Though I liked it (its a fully faaltu, illogical and sometimes like a Rajnikanth movie), Biwi thought it was completely rotten. Anyway, I am not going to go into the details of the movie. Its more about what happened after that.

It had been some time since we both had had a Pizza. That too from Pizza Hut. So we decided that tonight is going to be the night. Of course, to have Pizza :)

But Biwi came up with sounded-cool-at-that-moment suggestion. She said that we should walk down to Pizza Hut. Now, the nearest Pizza Hut from our place is at SGS Mall at Camp opposite Dorabjee's. It is around 5-6 kms from our place. I asked her if she was sure. She nodded. Well, not one to not walk, I obliged.

We started from home at around 7 pm. To be honest, it was the most enjoyable of all walks. We had a pretty healthy discussion about most of the stuff going on in our life. We reached MG Road by 8:15 pm. It was a festive atmosphere with the Diwali decorations still shining and the walking plaza lending some more colour.

We finally reached PH at around 8:30 pm. Our clothing was not the best. I was wearing a pyjama and T-shirt with Red toilet slippers on. Biwi was better. She wore an unironed trouser and a top. But the food was good. It was a good experience. The service was nice and we were out by 9:50. We also wanted to book the tickets for Golmaal Returns for the next morning at Inox. Inox is another km from SGS. Well, we didn't have any options. Off we went on foot to Inox. We reached at 10:20. Unfortunately, advance booking closes at 10 pm and we had to return grim faced.

We were entering the torture time of the walk now. We started from Inox at around 10:30. We reached West End by 10:50. By this time, Biwi started cribbing about her right sandal and how it was poking her and she couldn't walk. We decided we will walk till Bombay Garage on East street and go home by bus. We reached Bombay Garage at 11. We saw an ensemble of buses pass, most of them plying to Hadapsar and some to Swargate but none on the Kondhwa route. We waited till 11:35 and called it quits. We couldn't see lot of ricks around. So it was going to be on foot again.

Looking at the discomfort Biwi was facing with her sandal, we decided to switch footwear. Yes, I had my toilet slipper on my left foot and Biwi's sandal on my right while she wore the opposites. Yeah, it was one of those days ... rather nights. At least, we were walking fast now. Or so it seemed. We were 2 kms away from home at around 11:40 pm when I started cramping in my right leg due to the Oh-so-wonderful sandal. But we needed to go on. In the meanwhile, Biwi also started cramping up but we were very close now. The last 200-400 metres were dreadful.

Finally, we reached home at 12:30 and flung ourselves onto the bed. It didn't take long for slumber to set in.

Cheers ... !!

That's insane... 6 kms on foot to have Pizza.. I wouldn't dare.. On second thought it's actually kind of nice to walk with your partner.. but one way would be enough for me and, after the meal, I would have taken a rick to get back home... but then only these kind of crazy things make for really memorable moments :)
Great going mate!!
