The sound of wine glasses clinking decorously, the sound of unbridled laughter, attentive hosts hovering to make sure you're comfortable.....we had a great time last Saturday. There's nothing like a get-together with friends, who you've been to college with, and who understand the arcane code words of those days, is there? A feast of reason and flow of soul? Not likely. Just a lot of ribald laughter, some good-natured ribbing and oh, lest I forget, the most adorable pug dog nosing his way into the chicken.
I got to sample a Sula Shiraz/Merlot - not too sweet, very refreshing. Not that I know much about wines. Most of the time, I was badgering the pug - who was remarkably good-natured about it, I might add! Our hosts were throwing this small, intimate party to introduce us to their new house - which was magnificently done up in a combination of Indo-Colonial styles. I loved the number of French windows that gave out on the lawns - the house must be beautiful in the daytime, I imagine, with all the sunlight and greenery. Seen at night, the house was very decorous but with a lot of intimate spaces for the family to lounge around when they feel like it. A piano brought in the Victorian touch and a Chola bronze copy accentuated the Indian in the spacious hall.
All in all, an evening to remember! Thanks D and S!
