We went out yesterday to the Saluda Shoals Park on Bush River Road for a picnic and man, what a picnic it was - cricket, rumaal jhapatta, dodge ball, what have you! The place was teeming with most of the desis - barring a few of us who went to Gatlinburg on Saturday and were dead tired. We played a lot of games, ate Krispy Kreme donuts, Doritos nachos, Cheetos puffs and just enjoyed the place from 11.30AM through 3PM before we decided we had to go out. There were a lot of parents with kids and it was kind of growing on us - and then we decided to go to Charlotte to watch "Om Shanti Om". While returning from Saluda Shoals, we stopped by at Subway and I grabbed a Chicken Teriyaki sub with lots of sauces and pickles in it(yummy - just added this note so that it reminds me what is good at Subway that I could try again! If you happen to be in the US and reading this - try it out if you haven't already!). Then we went to Windsors, picked up some jackets and then went off to Charlotte. Reached Ayrsley at about 5.15PM and then got the tickets to Om Shanti Om. The movie is good - an out and out SRK movie and very entertaining. The most charming part of the movie was Deepika Padukone - she rocks! She is so cool looking in the movie. Hope she continues to get some more screen time in her movies. Her eyes and smile were very expressive indeed....Anyways, we then left the theater after taking some pictures next to a "Hitman" cutout. Our plan was to stop by Udipi - which is supposed to be one of the best Indian joints around (frankly, I have been really put off by the quality of stuff they dish out at other places here including Bombay Bistro - they ought to be taught how to make good Indian food!!) - sadly we were already quite late by the time we figured out how to reach Udipi - it was 9.30PM already and time for the place to close - so we caught the next exit and drove back home...
