DHOOM DHAMAKA AT THE DAVIS RESIDENCE..(translated as ROCK N ROLL AT THE DAVIS RESIDENCE)

After a meaningful Independence Day celebration At Don Bosco’s we loosened our hair and tightened our instrument strings and voices at Colin & Marie’s home..Colin and Marie thoughtfully invited the whole gang to say a fond farewell to Melvyn & Astrid. Marie true to her artistic style set the ambience in her lovely home with candle lights all around , even by the poolside..The entire evening shaped up in its own glamour and had its own ‘episodes’..... The STARTER episode-the intial warm up chit chat while some delicious hummous ad veggie sticks did the rounds..then of course an outburst of starters followed complete from spring rolls to chicken kebabs and as we are well aware the start to a great evening always begins with the STARTers.. The Instrumentalists Episode-Our extremely talented and professional musiciansBob,Fr.Edison and Bob Jr got out their instruments warmed up their instruments with Blue Moon the ambience now sparkled with music..Of course with these great musicians no one can keep themselves too far away from joining in and thus followed.. The Main Musical Episode with power packed musical enthrallment with the entire group lending and exercising their vocal cords..All kinds of songs did the rounds complete from Pop to Blues..Best described as The Musical Hour..!and while some gave their vocal cords a break a small group of others continued with the oldie hits.. Peth Pooja Episode was as some Indians call it –peth (read payt)pooja..or stomach worship..!and Marie saw to it that our stomachs got no less than thorough worship with exotic ethnic ethereal dishes ranging from tongue tingling tandoori chicken to Bombay duck chilly fry,our gangs everlasting favourite-sorpotel and a HUGE spread of vegetarian dishes from paneer to uttapas..After all that worship,was another buffet..the dessert buffet with everything from buko salad to a variety of cakes,brownies,ice creams etc..Marie really can give the 5 stars a run for their money with such spreads.. The Medley Episode-Well,the musical liqueur to the evening after the stomach worship came when Savio mysteriously got out his own guitar and entertained us all with one medley after another complete from goan mandos(folklore) to the east Indian masala..Of course,the exclusive feature of this episode was a perfect and crisp melodious duet from Savio & Beverly.At the rate and volume at which we were singing am sure dasma ave too joined in with the dhoom dhamaka..! The evening ended with an Invite from Marc & Susan as a continuation of the farewell to Astrid & Melvyn..Astrid at the rate ur going I think ur giving GMA serious competition..!Colin & Marie you’ll are the most gracious hosts ever..We felt so comfortable and relaxed at your lovely home..Its only coz of your gracious hospitality and love that 26th Aug was an evening of true DHOOM DHAMAKA..
