Umm, Misc (for the lack of a better word :) )

Okay

Was on a vacation for 3 days. Top 10 things that stand out:

1. A beat-up vintage lorry carrying sand which had "Bill Gates" painted on top of it in big blue letters :)

2. Nother equally weathered lorry which had " ABHILASH " written in Red. Heh heh.

3. Hill Resorts are best visited during vacations. The concept of living in one forever is totally impractical. The weather (rains every morning and afternoon and the evening) is just too restrictive.

4. Do not pay for Luxury Suites (with bath tubs and free trips to a jacuzzi) because you'll never use them anyways (the bath tub had a notice which said " Please conserve water, each bath in the tub will need a minimum of 110 Liters" and the Jacuzzi remains perennially overbooked). Stick to the bed, breakfast (and hot water) double rooms.

5. Do not cycle (bicycle that is) for too long when you are riding on one after a long time (like a few months). Your Butt will hurt. Big time !! :)

6. Songs of the year - "Laal dupatta" - Mujse Shaadi Karogi, "Oru Maalai" - Ghajini and "Daughters" - John Mayer

7. Cricketer of the Year - "Mahendra Dhoni" (I happned to see his innings of 183* against SL )

8. I saw atleast 10 people (Aged about 16 to upto about 40) who were as good looking or probably better looking than Aishwarya Rai (or even Jessica Biel :)) ). I guess they are not beauty queens because they choose not to be beauty queens.

9. Do not pass judgements like in statement <8> when sleepy or even the evidence presented is totally biased against someone (Watched Bride&Prejce, Kyun Ho gaya Naa on TV back to back)

10. Do not go on vacations where you end up having to spend one day resting after vacation to build up enough energy to get back to work.
