A Visit to Masala Library

We planned to start with breakfast at Coffe Di' Bella in the morning,

A call was placed, and the news was out that the place is closed till Saturday evening

What to do next, the thoughts went deep,

I was happy because I was assured of my sleep,

Different options for breakfast were explored,poha,rajma,idli were considered,

Shruti and I were happily surprised, in a span of 20 min the breakfast was served

Mansi served thalipeeth with her new-found speed,

We all sat together to watch the dud "Raees"

I need not invent a way to make everybody irritate,

Because of my ample laziness we were already late,

The cab was booked to reach our eating destination,

Entire journey Mansi did was to vent out her frustration

Till we reach there we all felt sick of apprehension,

That the table we booked we might lose reservation,

A smile spread across our face and we made ourselves stable,

Only to find that we didn't lose our table,

To neutralize our taste buds, we were served with thandai packed inside the bubble,

Just one gulp inside was enough to make our appetite completely double,

We relished the starters and flourished on main course,

The desserts were lip smacking and we gormandized it without any force,

The taste of Masala Library is difficult to beat,

It was Mansi who surprised us with a pleasant treat,

She pours the heart, joy and very important the money to pay the bill,

The stomach was too full that it was better to take a pill,

Days like these are hard to come often,

We will carry the pleasant memories until our coffin,

Once the lunch was over, the girls started to give expressions,

two thirty hot afternoons marked the start of their selfie sessions

Since Di Bella was also in BKC and it was near to impossible to resist Shruti's temptation,

We called the place only to find that the point at BKC was closed for renovation,

KK concert was lined up for the day, but it had to start at 7pm,

Shruti was restless to shop at Bandra and hell bent on emptying the ATM

We succumbed to Shruti and went to Linkin Road,

only to find out that all shops were closed

I felt elated to escape from girl's shopping,

The happiness was ephemeral as some hawkers were found walking

Shruti's and Mansi's eyeballs poppet out of their sockets,

In a span of half an hour they emptied their pockets

The shopping was over and I took a sigh of relief,

Girls are the biggest shopaholics; firmer got my belief,

We left linking road and started for Cofi de bella,

The entire experience compelled me to write the novella

The excitement was growing to reach the concert,

The voice of KK is like an oasis in the hot dessert

We had some time for the concert, so we reached the cafe,

Surprising for this barren place, I had to sign at the hallway

A hectic day was taking a toll and increasing our madness,

We were welcomed at the café with a packet of rudeness

Shruti had already decided what she was going to eat,

We were happy because after all it was her treat

The craving for some caffeine was needing to keep us awake,

Freaky person ordered freak shake and the ordinary person added Oreo Shake,

I asked “rudeness” what’s so special about the masala chai,

She replied blandly that it is special because it has masala on the chai

I was amused to laugh on the stupidity of my question or the absurdity of her reply,

My inner self cursed me why do you do this man why,

The sight of freak shake freaked me out,

can Shruti even finish it was my doubt,

She gorged on it in an attacking way,

the predator red marked its harmless prey

Whipped cream, chocolate sticks oreos and waffles,

none was spared in one sided battles,

Last comes the chance of chocolate beehive,

she too gave up on the fight to survive

Out came triumphed the girl with pudgy cheeks,

everything was gobbled which could have lasted for weeks,

Time in the café went like a jiffy,

again, the girls decided to start a session on selfie,

Seeing the emoticons printed on the wall,

the girls start imitating in the middle of the hall

The place and situation doesn’t matter because for a girl every time is expression time,

Don’t dwell too much the line was added just to make the poem rhyme,

Finally, the time came for which I was waiting the whole day,

The wait for the KK concert turned my hair from black to gray

Even on a 102 degree fever a day before, KK performed brilliantly which was no mean feat

The audience were mesmerized throughout from his voice and sometimes skipped a beat

On a musical note a memorable day came to an end

We were happy with the way the day went
