It’s the Friday eve and weekend ends today,
It's the time to chill and weekend ends today.
In the sane world the week ends today,
It's the time to chill and weekend ends today.

Characters – Sanjan “Serene”, Manuj “Purana” and Boss
Destination – I need not repeat it
How did the week go?
Well, we are in taxi, not even reached hotel, work has not even started and Manuj & Sanjan are already planning, what they will do after going back to India! Sanjan (in his foreign ways) – “Ya. We could watch Formula-1 in Bahrain”. Manuj (the gawaar he is) – “B#*K$&# pehle kyu nahi bola. I was game” and Boss (his ways are authoritative u see) – “Teko pehle bhi bola Sri Lanka chala jaa. Mara le”. So, the discussions have started gaining momentum and scene is set for a cheerful stay.
It’s morning time the next day and we want to have breakfast so we have Burgers. Nice! It’s lunch time and we want to have lunch so we have Burgers. Nice! It’s dinner time and no one talks about Dinner! Boss is a wonderful cook (not kidding at all) and now he has decided to make up for the dinner next day. He is cooking chicken for us and we get going to help him with preparations. Here are the ingredients that go into the making of this momentous meal
- 7 big chicken drums
- 8 onions - at least 1.5 - 2 Kg
- 4-6 tomatoes
- Garlic- All we had at home (as per Sanjan, this much is used in cooking an entire week's meal)
- Ginger - plentiful
- Abundantly full of Boss' secret spices from the base of Himalayas
Khaane waale 3! Three! Teen! (Chicken lovers out there! If you want , we still have some left)
Wednesday (equivalent to you guys’ Friday), 5 PM around and weekend is about to begin. We are in office, doing some work but Sanjan wants go home. Its’ simple right. The guy has worked hard. Its weekend time and he wants to go home. Fair! But the boss has a knack of asking “KYU”. So he asks Sanjan “KYU”. Sanjan says “At least, I will get to change my suit”. Belly laugher from Manuj and Boss but Sanjan in his style “Ha bhai”. Is tarha, hanste khelte. Nikal gaya week aura aa gaya weekend! (Manuj already announced it through his Facebook status. If I would call him names, it would be “loud speaker")
How did the weekend go?
That’s a challenging question to answer. For Manuj, weekend means chutti, atleast in some form. If not work, at least from bathing ya. But Sanjan, he is a Gentleman. Dono din nahaya wo. And when we are going out for lunch, to a desi restaurant round the corner, where we would sit inMEN’s SECTION1 ,he is getting ready as if he is gonna go for a date. Man! Save some for the real day! For dinner, we went to the café in our hotel itself (Saudi Machan J) just because it would be some change! At least we would feel like weekend!
To summarize my feelings at the dusk of our weekend and dawn of yours-
Machan beckons, my 800 is ready,
But I am not there, I am not there…
1MEN’S SECTION – For reference of those who have not been here, Restaurants in Riyadh have separate MEN and FAMILY section
