Jewish New Year Hits Fusion 9

Last night I went out with the usual training gang - Rishi, Padmapriya, and Vikrant. We went to a fairly chic Banjara Hills lounge/restaurant called Fusion 9. The place is upmarket and so a bit expensive but the atmosphere and selection of drinks and snacks was by far more interesting and higher quality than other places we had gone to over the last week. Between us we add domestic Whiskeys, gin & tonics, margaritas, tequila shots, martinis, and even shots of B-52 on fire that we were instructed to drink with straws... We were all having a great time getting a buzz, and snacking on tender chicken strips, an antipasti platter, a Mediterranean platter, and some mini-samosas.

All of a sudden in trooped roughly half the training class. They had all heard me say I was celebrating the Jewish New Year and knew we were going out to Fusion 9. It was nice to have their company there as well although we kept our seating a bit separate from theirs to maintain proper distance (accent on the 'a'). Padma got especially giggly at some point and seemed to enjoy the evening the most. All in all a fairly happy way to bring in the new year for me and I thank everyone for making it so!

BTW, that's Rishi doing a Fusion Bomb (Tequila shot inside pint), and one of the trainees drinking a lit B-52 Fusion-style (with a straw!?!#@!) as another one is being set aflame nearby.
