Then we realized that Ankur had taken a new car and we could ask him for going on a drive. And so we started thinking where we could go. Chicago was ruled out as it is too far away and so the next closest place was Indianapolis. I proposed and he agreed and we were calling Girish and Ankur and after initial 'No' both of them were game for it. By the way, did I tell that there was a winter warning for St Louis and adjoining areas and it was raining pretty heaviliy here at St Louis also. And so as usual, my red jetta did not start because of the rain and so Ankur and Girish, Dia decided to come and pick us up. So here we were, ready to leave for Indianapolis, without any idea of where we were going and without any plan as such.
Anyway, the four hours in the car was fun. It was a different feeling sitting on the back sit rather then driving all the way. So had fun joking and pulling each other's legs....basically ankurs. On our way , we decided that since we were driving for four hours, what is the point of coming back and so stayed at Super 8 motels...deciding after few phone calls after reaching Indianapolis. Its amazing how technology has made things so easy. After refreshing for a few minutes, we went out to roam around the downtown.
After lot of discussion, we decided to have dinner at P F Chang. The food was really good and delicious. The fortune cookies made anukul and ankur...partners for life and Ankur finally knew that he saw "rab...laughing budha"...in anukul. After the dinner, we headed out to have a walk around the downtown and saw the memorial. The clouds and the lights and light rain created a beautiful view.Check out the pics. When all of us were almost freezing, we decided that enough was enough and headed for Sub Terra. The pub was pretty good with nice music. A little bit of dance till late in the night and we headed for home. I knew I was going to fall sick by that time because I already had a little cold in the morning.
The next day we headed for south indian restaurant near by...Uduppi. I have to say...although it was veggie...the food was really good and authentic. After a heavy brunch, we went to the motor sport hall of fame and I was flooded with memories of 2005 when I was there in the stadium watching the last F1 race in the stadium. But this was from the other side and it was different to be on the tracks, on the podium and the media center and where all the VVIPs sit. It was around 3 by that time and we were on our way back. I was feeling sick and I slept almost all the way. Oh by the way while coming back, we happen to see two cars colliding right infront of us while taking the exit. So all of us were shocked for a while but then we went ahead and reached home safely...ofcourse now that I am writing this..u know I have reached home.
