Chapter Name: AHK Meets SnS
Question 1: What made it happen – AHK meet with SnS ?
Answer: SnS lives hundreds of mile away from AHK, but work circumstances brought AHK right near the city where SnS lives. After a few phone calls, the best option was chosen – AHK to visit SnS and then they both come back to AHK’s accommodation for a sleep-over!
Question 2: What happens when SnS meets AHK?
Answer: There are numerous things that happen when SnS meets AHK. A few of them are listed below in chronological order -
- A dozen calls are made to and fro days before the actual meet.There is so much laughing into the phone, some third person might think they are mad, a little.
- The cold winds does not matter when they meet, there is enough warmth from the hugs and lovely people around.
- The smiles do not stop and the laughs only get louder together
- ‘My city is like a village’, ‘My house is a mess’ – SnS had said and AHK calls her a liar when she gets to see those. No, they are not !
- AHK considers meeting G was a great added bonus, he was so courteous and charmingly sweet
- Long drive and much chatter ensues, no prizes to guess their favorite topic – Blogs
- Topics flow out like from pandoras box, there is so much to talk, really.
- When one stops the other picks the thread and when the other stops this one eases in again – before they know, it was 2 AM next morning already!
- Good Nights are said and the lights are finally put off, they have all of next day for themselves after all
- After a lazy wakeup, they are quick to get ready for free breakfast at the hotel lobby area
- Eggs, Muffins, toast, bagels, fruits and cereal – all are had in leisure with hot coffee.
- Oh, and there is freshly made waffles with sweet syrup too – AHK ‘made’ them while SnS carefully assisted
- They start out together into a new unfamiliar city to go check out a mall
- They loose way and take an hour to reach a place 15 minutes away – What? they are only 2 people with only 2 GPS with them.
- They giggle and keep a the head high and swear to call it their ‘secret adventure trip’ ( to the mall) Heh.
- The mall is found, explored and a bunch of happy nothings are bought.
- A Yumm lunch is had sitting inside a rainforest – there are pythons, chimpanzees, elephants and alligators moving and making loud sounds. There was also thunder and lightning flashes now and then ( RainForest Cafe, anyone?)
- A movie together is also in the cards and they choose to watch – “Mirror Mirror”. They beam with pride when SnowWhite locks her prince inside and says, “Fairytales always talk of prince saving the princess. But, I plan to change it. I will fight the monster myself!”
- They make a ‘ long leisurely’ drive back and sit down with a cup of coffee and ensue talks on a a real-life fairytale
- It is time to depart, but…there is so much left to talk, really!
- There are gifts and hugs and meet-me-agains and a tinge of pain, for the meet is ending.

Smartassbride says you sound like 16, SnS says you look and talk like you are 16.
If it goes on like this, H ageing and you staying 16, people are going to give the poor man dirty looks you know
I want to meet you too! Sigh!

I am making up for it with increasing grey hair these days Rays * sob*
Me wants to meet you too, very much. The other day H was talking about a trip to London and I was immediately thrilled – “Yes, we should go. My friend Rays lives there!”
There are atleast half a dozen relatives and friends there who did not come to mind
