I had a great time today. This Sunday, I had planned on lunch with a friend at a previously unheard of Italian place. More about that later. First, I saw a few cars of the Haig vintage car rally and that was good fun :)
I set off on the empty roads in my Tata Indigo to see some beautiful Bentley's and Rolls. I saw quite a few of the little cars out on rally from a nice vantage point between Mahim and Dadar. I don't know about the upkeep and fuel efficiency but the cars looked so good. I saw a couple of them unable to complete the rally and settle for some gentle TLC at the neighborhood car mechanic and even that was good fun. Most of the cars were convertibles and the drivers seemed to be having a good time despite the heat. I sat in AC comfort and watched them go by in the sweltering Bbay heat. The drivers and navigators seemed to be doing quite well despite the heat. I saw two women with hats and bonnets looking quaint and lady-like driving a lovely vintage Bentley.
Before I knew it, it was time for lunch and I picked up my friend and headed to Penne at Juhu. I had read about this place in a foodie article on the Bestofbombay site and decided that I wanted to try it out. It is fun to go to a new restaurant and find out how good or bad the food is.
Somehow, from what I had read, I expected it to be a tiny nook with soothing ambience but it turned out to be fairly spacious with a lovely ambience. The veggie starters were not so great but the Pasta and the Desserts were good. My friend and I had a lovely time and spent a load of time enjoying the place, the food and the Company.
I then drove back home for Sunday siesta and got up to watch Massa rule F1 for a change at the Bahrain Grand Prix. It's funny getting used to F1 without Schumi but then I think when your idols retire you start putting your age in perspective.
Life goes on; I still have places to go and promises to keep...
