St. Patrick's cathedral
Fitzroy GardensUltimately we landed up at the Crown, which houses posh restaurants, hotels, shops, and a Casino. Here Jai wanted to taste beer. I got ourselves one Crown Lager. Everyone had a sip at first and then we decided that whoever drinks a greater portion of it, will be refunded the cost in the same proportion, as in if I drink it whole, Jai would pay me back the whole cost.
Sometime later we had the taste of a real casino. Having been a roulette table conductor once, I knew many of the rules, even of Blackjack and Craps. Here it was so movie-like. With flashing lights everywhere. Security all around, - ‘homra-chomra’ people in black suits with Bluetooth earpieces. Poor Pulkit didn’t bring his passport and was refused entrance. Thankfully, a servant warned me when I was about to take out my camera saying I would definitely fall into trouble. I have taken lots of chances in India, but here I dared not. I had no intentions to land up in a hospital or prison in Melbourne. Jai and I had a bet outside the casino. I said that I could ask the guards at the entrance and get permission for clicking a pic from outside. Sadly I lost the bet.
