This one is up and above all the rest of my achievements in life. I FOOLED GAUTAM. Yes, for the first time ever, I pulled a fast one on my fiancé and how. Like 9.5 times out of 10, he would, using his poker-faced expressions, he would make a fool out of me. But this one time, he was completely foxed. In the language he loves and understands the most, he was clean bowled by a googly.
During the last weekend, I was in Surat for some wedding shopping and of course for being the privileged visitor to my doctor. And in between all that, I managed to spend sometime with my effervescent as ever cousin Pinal. The two of us are like a house on fire and yes we were together this time for a purpose, planning for our trek to Kinnaur Spiti in August first week.
In between all that, we managed to go to various places and a coffee shop was obvious. And Gautam would believe that me and Pinal would do anything under the sun to keep ourselves entertained, shopping of course is a no-brainer. So, this one time, while in a coffee shop, I sent this picture (below) to Gautam and asked him if he liked this.
He was stunned and excited at the same time. He just loved the concept of a photo coffee. And felt so embarrassed that a small city like Surat had this novel concept and his Maximum City Mumbai didn't have anything close to this. He took the bait and hook, line and sinker. He was now looking forward to come to Surat at the earliest.
He was to travel to Surat anyway to catch up with my folks and of course help me bring back the heavy luggage that I had to bring to Mumbai. But the torrential rains in Mumbai and parts of Gujarat on Friday (July 12, 2013) stalled his trip as the trains were cancelled and roads weren't the best option.
The trip got cancelled and he was upset, seriously. He updated his Facebook Page with this post also.

One of those rare days when I have hated the rains. Will now miss my date with Locho, Coco, photo printed coffee, saasu maa's lasunn chutney. Ohh and also Gopi. All trains to Surat have been cancelled due to musalaadhaar paaus
Now he was seriously looking forward to this photo coffee and I didn't know how serious he was. He showed his colleagues and a couple of them sent him their pictures for ordering a photo coffee, click and send the pictures to them. Another friend of his Ankur also bought this idea and showed it to his friends too.
But just half an hour back today, he messaged me to know the details of the coffee shop and other things to post it on his blog, is when I told him that this was my googly. And yes, he was as stunned as he was when he had first seen this. Gautam, you have heard of this naa, "Saau sonaar ki, ek lohaar ki"
