Day 779: The Power of Yapping!

The day started pretty eventfully with a visit to the bike shop where the hubby got himself a bicycle. Now that he has somehwat managed to teach the wife, that is me, cycling, he figured that he too should get a bike and we together can be like this bike-riding couple.

And then just after he bought the bike, he readily ditched me and happily went on a solo bike ride. Oh well.

Anyway after that, we decided to go for a movie with a friend. The plan was that after the movie, which was to end by around 6pm, we shall get back home and the hubby shall get some work done while I finish off some chores like packing for Dhaka, writing pending blogs etc.

So as per the plan, a friend joined us and we went for the movie.

And then began, the Yapping.

Throughout the movie, which was downright atrocious, we were making random but super fun conversation and also commenting on the atrocity of the atrocious movie.

After the movie-watching, the hubby had to go to his office to collect something, so the friend and I went along as well. And throughout, we just yapped and yapped and yapped.

Then the three of us decided to have dinner together.

We successfully downed Appam, Mutton Ishtu, Kerala Paratha, Beef Coconut Fry, Varutharacha Chicken Curry, Egg Podimas and Fresh Lime Soda from Swaadishth. Needless to say, all this food consumption was done over some serious yapping - the conversation continued to be totally random but super fun!

Then the three of us decided to have dessert together.

Again, while we were successfully downing Rasmalai and Malpoa from Mustard, the yapping continued.

Then the three of us decided to have chai together.

So over a steaming cup of Masala Chai from Jaggi's, we continued to yap, yap and yap.

And then, at about 10:40pm, we decided that it was time to wind up the yapping. We had already done it through one movie and also at three different restaurants within one evening. And we also realized that whatever was planned (the hubby's work, my chores etc.) has completely gone for a toss. But no one was complaining!

So yes, it surely was a fascinating evening because I don't think I have talked so much or listened to anyone talking so much for so many hours at a stretch, in ages! And surely it was engaging conversation, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted this long! I didn't realize how fast time passed by and that always is a good sign!

So for today, it is the beauty of long, random, fun, engaging conversations!

In other words, the Power of Yapping!
