Catch up - October

Ben a really really long time :)

I guess its cool to say "Guys who dont find the time to blog are busy and doing great things with their precious hours & days"

WTH, its probably true anyways - atleast partly. How it is applicable in my case is worth a debate.

My reasons are a combination of the following:

- My broken laptop which put me back by about 15,000 bucks & 15 days of crunch time. (man, i am a careless useless choothiya)

- Travelling - Mumbai mostly. Had an interesting time there, staying in Chembur. Its amazing - It takes about 3 hours to travel from chembur to VT by train, taxi whatever. I met just 4 people in Thane, Lower Parel,Andheri & VT between 9am and 8 pm.

- i had been to Landmark twice and consequently has been loaded with new books to read. (more on that later)

Watched Munnabhai MBBS with mumbaiah and almost slept for the last hour or so of the movie. I guess iam growing up and getting bored of movies. coz I remember watching shows of horrors like "Kyun Ho gaya Naa" and "Yeh dil maange more" back to back and staying awake fully during college.

One day i had dinner with AD - which is always a delight (Not so much gastronomical as it is a splendid visual spectacle, if you get what iam sayin). We had the usual loud, head turning arguments about a few flashily dressed kids (who were in my opinion not more than 14 or 15), who AD declared were "Good Babes Daa" and about who'll pay the bill.

Back in chen, we've this new flat in T Nagar bang in the middle of old Nagar within walkable distance to Panagal park, the bus stand, pondy Bazaar & nandanam. Sounds too gud ? :) well there are hitches - the underground car park is flooded for atleast 1/4th of every year.

THere are about 10 other families living there - most of em old, i mean, really old, uncles & aunties whose kids & grandkids live abroad or work in MNC banks. They wear white reebok sneakers, talk in English (they call me "young man") and visit the thirumala temple nearby daily.

Other things:

Movies -

Cars (get your kicks, on Route 66)

The devil wears Prada (which has reinforced my affections & commitment to 'Anne Hathaway' ;) )

Omkara (Which, i admit, even with subtitles - i did not like much. "dolly" "omi bhaiyya" "langda thyagi" all seems way too,um, artificial to me)

Music -

Kya muje pyaar he :) (the remix version)

um, and one more thing Premiership Yesterday: Man UTD 3 - portsmouth 0 ( i missed Rooney's antics against Bolton last week )

more later (whew!)
