Kishore Singh: A girl gang's Goa gossip
Kishore SinghI picked up my daughter's phone by mistake to check for any messages, only to uncover this fascinating exchange between her and her girl gang. Guppy: Girls, SpiceJet has an offer, do you want to go to Bombay for 6K return? Sakshi: I saw it too. Sakshi: Let's do last week of February. Sakshi: I have exams then. Bobby: I'm going for Lalita's wedding in March. Sakshi: Where? Bobby: Goa. Sakshi: Let's do March, my cousin's wedding gets over on the 3rd and Ambalika's starts on the 10th. Bobby: So let's do 6th to 9th. Sakshi: Can we go? Bobby: Let's discuss it tomorrow. Robin: March isn't possible, I've got two weddings and my parents' 25th anniversary. Robin: I'm going to Goa in April for a wedding, join me after or before. Guppy: Let's go March. Robin: Why March? Guppy: Let's do Bombay for three nights, we haven't been on a trip for ages.
Guppy: Let's do a conference after work. Sakshi: Fine. Guppy: At 6:30 sharp, everyone confirm your availability, I'll be the head trip organiser. Bobby: I have a late meeting, let's do the conference at 9:30. Guppy: Okay, 9:30 sharp. Sakshi: Why don't we do Goa anyway, we can go two-three days before Bobby has to be there. Robin: Ticket sales get over day-after so we only have tomorrow to book.
Robin: Should we meet for lunch tomorrow? Bobby: I'm in. Guppy: So am I. Robin: Okay. Sakshi: I need to be free by three. Sakshi: We could meet at Gourmet. Sakshi: Or let's meet at five. Guppy: Either time is fine with me. Guppy: Or we can meet in GK. Sakshi: What's the plan? Bobby: Girls, please decide. Sakshi: I don't think I can come.
Sakshi: Is there any plan for tonight then? Bobby: Let's meet. Sakshi: At Keya? Bobby: Looks like Guppy has gone for a meeting. Bobby: What about lunch? Sakshi: I don't mind. Bobby: Okay. Robin: Where? Sakshi: Will Guppy be back by then? Bobby: She's not answering. Robin: Uff. Sakshi: We can meet at five for hookah at Gourmet. Robin: Hmm. Sakshi: Boulevard is serving it too, and we can go shopping. Robin: No lunch?
Robin: I have to go to the parlour. Sakshi: Okay. Bobby: Okay. Guppy: I'm back. Sakshi: Don't be angry but we'll have to chuck today, I'm having car issues. Bobby: Doesn't matter. Guppy: It's cool. Sakshi: Hauz Khas Village tomorrow? Bobby: Yes. Guppy: I just quit my job. Bobby: Again? Did you have a fight? Guppy: Let's celebrate. Sakshi: Seriously? Guppy: I told you I'm going to. Robin: Hauz Khas Village after office then? Guppy: At seven. Robin: Okay. Sakshi: What's the scene? Bobby: We are meeting after office please, no one is allowed to ditch. Guppy: Ok ma'am. Bobby: Or what about Flying Saucer? Sakshi: Whatever. Guppy: I'll reach wherever by seven. Sakshi: Or earlier? Bobby: Yea, cool. Sakshi: But do you get hookah? Bobby: Yes, you do. Sakshi: Okay. Guppy: Cool. Robin, you want to drive me there? Robin: I've left. Sakshi: Sorry girls, got to cancel tonight.
Bobby: Can we go to Keya tomorrow? Guppy: Yes, let's go. Guppy: I'm in. Sakshi: What about Flying Saucer? Bobby: I don't mind. Bobby: Okay, done. Sakshi: But what's the scene today? Robin: I have dance practice, I don't know what time I'll get free. Sakshi: What about the conference? Bobby: Is anyone booking the tickets? Guppy: Goa or Bombay? Robin: If we can't go in April, what about May?
