  • I used to date my gal from 1983 to 1990 & Chowpathy beach was the ultimate rendevouz, as she was doing her nursing & living in the hostel,and with the pav-bhaji, all chaats & the dosas/idlis from farm fair which was really super & mouthwatering. The best part was after all this fill by just lazying on the sand & whispering sweet nothings n sometimes somethings 2 each other. Ah those days ! ! I'm 48 now & YES we ARE WITH DIFFERENT PARTNERS ? ?
