poochaa!

Yesterday, I was walking down from the charming Ray's Cafe and Pizzeria towards home along with MM and N after a sumptuous dinner. We met this little group on the way. I invited them home but they politely declined. sigh! :)

Pinochchio

It has been a fortnight since I last posted. But that does not mean I did not have my moments. I flew to Bangalore the day after I wrote that last post to attend L's wedding.

I had been looking for a nice key-chain for my house key and i found it at Cauvery. Isn't it cute? Don't lie! ;)

Curd Rice

My office cafeteria had this sumptuous curd-rice on its lunch-menu for the day. y-u-m-m-y! :)

Sunset

This is yesterday's highlight:

I reached my home just in time to see the sun dipping into the horizon. A beautiful sunset it was! Its interesting how the sun seems so eager to set quickly the minute it is sunset time. Just like the enthusiasm of school-children, when the last bell rings, to rush out of school.

I got internet

This is Satur-night's highlight.

My laptop detected Tikona wi-fi. For a few moments, I felt exhilarated wrongly thinking that I had free wifi access. I did have internet connection but only one website opened no matter what url I typed. This was the Tikona website. It flashed a toll-free number which I called. The clock read 8 pm.

Hats off to the Tikona executives, within the next 2 hours, I had my own wireless internet connection in my little nest. All I had to pay was Rs.500 for installation.

Man, was I impressed by their service standards and eagerness to help me out. As a bonus, the executives pointed out to me that I could see a corner of Salman Khan's residence from my window. You have to look out and bend sideways. The effort is hardly worth it. It's not the same as seeing a corner of Salman Khan himself. :p

shifted to my new place

Saturday's highlight:

I shifted into my new humble abode in a not-so humble building. Well, I get just a room with attached toilet. No kitchen. But the building has a swimming pool which I can access anytime I like. And that I like. :)

My stapled credit card

This is yesterday's highlight:

I saw in practice what I had learnt in school (and forgotten): Information stored on a magnatic strip does not get damaged by scratches or even cracks. It could only get damaged by things such direct exposure to heat/sunlight etc.

I was worried as to whether my credit card would work after it had accidently been stapled. One end of he staple went right through the magnetic strip.

At Gloria Jeans cafe, Pali road, last night, I handed out my card with my fingers crossed. It worked just fine - just as my dad and my husband had assured me.

Knowing this sure added to my enjoyment of the slim-waisted tall glass of mocha-shake.
