AKM's Post Marriage Bachelors Party

I flew in to Columbus Saturday morning from L.A. Guru, Anand had already reached Columbus a few hours before me. Mukund and AKM of course reside in Columbus. Our group was complete but for Srivats who was planning to drive from Cleveland. After couple of 'round-table' discussions, we got ready and headed to Udupi for lunch. Srivats joined us a little bit after lunch.

Our fun outing began there - started with an hour at a local Baseball Batting Cage, everyone cracking the bats at 65 mph balls (except of course 'Sweeps' Anand). A drive along the Scioto Riverside ended up in the local Starbucks. Then came the bowling championship - Srivats and AKM turned out to be leading scorers. Tips from Mukund/AKM improved my bowling skills (hopefully). Dinner at a mediterranean restaurant and dessert at Columbus Gold - gentleman's club :)

Ended the night (or should I say watched the crack of dawn) watching AKM's wedding videos.

Sunday - parted back to our destinations after lunch at a Mongolian BBQ place.

It was a fun weekend, short but eventful(l).

Congratulations once again - AKM and Priti. Happy Married Life to you guys!!!

Thanks gang for coming to Columbus.

Regards,

~M
