Romany and Manendra

Memories warm the heart and bridge distances, instantly transporting one to another place of wonderful times spent together! Manendra and I would roll over to Avi’s place on many evenings. The first thing to greet us was the mouthwatering aroma of homemade spaghetti bolognese - one of Avi’s specialties. 

She introduced us to Macky’s - a lovely restaurant, which we haunted frequently. Avi and Manendra loved the steak Diana they served there. They also had a fantastic array of fresh juices that were absolutely delicious! As you can see, it’s all about the food!!

And of course, the night would not be perfect without dropping into the Taprobane restaurant at the Cinnamon Grand. Nestled amongst cushions on a couch in a quiet corner of the restaurant, sipping coffee and stuffing ourselves with food from the late night menu, we shared our stories, laughed, argued, gossiped, and above all, had loads of fun. At some point in our soirĂ©e, I would invariable start “clicking”, which is when I become very sleepy (the only one not able to handle late nights), start blinking rapidly, and talking utter rubbish, in an effort to show that I’m wide awake. That’s when we say goodnight and part ways, till we do it all over again a few days down the road.

Wonderful memories of times spent with a dear friend!
