It’s time to meet up again, our kinship group, after a gap of 3 weeks, on Dev Diwali, the second day of Diwali a Gujarati New Year.
Venue – Diwali pe Diwala, Hotel FOUR SEASONS rooftop restaurant AER, lavish, large and simply makes all the money in your pocket evaporate, But yes, definitely a place to explore, as it gives you the feeling of being the “KING of the WORLD”, watching crazy yet our beloved city called Mumbai from the 34th floor ( I could be wrong on the floor count )
Meeting time around 8.00pm.For me, it was time to dress up, my Kucchu was coming to pick me up @ 6.00pm.
I wore his favorite frock ( the White one ) and we started our 30 km drive. The discussion was predominantly orbited on our ROCA/Engagement/Wedding plans as to when and how soon to settle down in life. Trust me, our families are buzzing with these topics day in and day out.
We reached Four Seasons, our first 5 star jaunt, I must say a pretty big hotel with bright lights and a hospitable staff.
A kind and polite staff member escorted us in elevator towards AER which was on 34th Floor. As we reached AER the bar manager welcomed us with a smile. The place was relaxing with dim lights and soft music with a fantabulous roof top view.
Well , we were the first to arrive and decided to order something, a word of caution this is a right aligned menu card ( Check prices before you order mate ), we skimmed trough the menu and the ice-cream “chilly-mint” sounded tempting and weird, served with caramel popcorn in it, plus it was only Rs.150 so we ordered it. But sadly, our taste buds hated it. While we were having the most weirdo ice-cream, our friends Nehal, Darshit and Bamtu finally turned up. We sat down and Darshit ordered for a lovely Pizza, well it was his treat, he was about to complete 1000 days of his married life ( today was 999 ).
We ended up having dinner at SAN Qi, a Pan Asian restaurant at Four Seasons, tranquil lights, dulcet Lamps and comely candles. A fabulous ambiance and sumptuous food, we did have a great time at the restaurant. Finally it was the, time to say goodbyes. My Kucchu dropped me home in our loaned for the day car, courtesy Santosh Sir.
All in all, great experience AER + San Qi, a belt breaking dinner with friends and a lovely drive back home. What more do we need in life?
