I was supposed to be in belgaum since I had 4 days off. But the trip had to be cancelled at the nth moment. All my plans went down the drain. I would have been visiting belguam after about an year, I would have met my friends, catch up with them. But no. As they say, “Plans never work out”.. so very true.

But they also say, “Everything that happens, happens for the good”. So instead of going to Belgaum I decided to go to Mysore, may be for a day or two. Its been more than 10 years since I have visited Mysore. So late nite I called up Muzaffar and asked him would he be willing to tag along, for which he readily agreed.

So we were off to Mysore at 7 am in the morning. Reached Srirangapatnam by 11 am. After visiting all the historical places in Srirangapatnam we left for Myore. By 4:30 we were in Mysore. On the way I was telling Muzaffar how I was planning to meet up with Aadil Bandukwala, as it has been ages since we have cought up. But now I was in Mysore. I dont know when I will meet Aadil.

After reaching Mysore we headed straight to Mysore Palace, took an express tour of the grand palace (yeah.. we finished roaming around the huge place in 45 mins flat). Our plan was to head back to Bangalore by 8:30 pm. As we were having dinner, I picked up my mobile and called Aadil. I said to Aadil, “We are having dinner in your sasural(in-laws place)”. Yes she is from Mysore.

Surprise!! Surprise!!! Aadil Bandukwala too was in Mysore. And I do not need to elaborate as to why he was in Mysore (pssst.. becoz of her). All through the day Muzaffar n myself have been mentioning about Aadil at some point or the other.. and now he was in Mysore and we were in Mysore.

So without wasting much time, we packed the dinner we ordered and headed straight to the hotel where Aadil had checked in. Phir kya tha!!! The three of us met after a gap of more than a year so we had a lot of things to catch up on.

Had second round of dinner, Aadil’s favourite Butter chicken, Hot Chocolate Fudge at Corner House. We sat chatting till 2:30 am. Had the packed dinner at midnight since both Aadil n me were hungry and talked, talked and talked.

It was too good to be true.. time and again Muzaffar and me were telling how we almost called the Mysore trip off, how we almost left without calling Aadil and how we had never imagined to meet Aadil in Mysore. And to top it all off, we did get to meet Saniya, which was icing on the cake.

In the end, what was supposed to be a boring and extremely long weeked turned out be the one of the most adventurous one and filled with surprises. As I said earlier, plans never workout and yet everything that happens, happens for the good.
