Long time, no see!

Yeah! Its been real long time since I last blogged – almost >2 months.

A lot has happened between 1st Jan and today – I won’t iterate over all of it again but just that I’m happy being at home. Just today, I was answering rapid fire questions to a good friend and one that I was real happy to answer was “Pune or Delhi” – and my answer was obviously Delhi! – “apni dilli”.

Okay, so fast forward to 4th march 09.

Went out for a quick shopping spree – accompanying me was apna dude bro. Objective was to get a new pair of casual shoes and a nice pair of jeans. It wasn’t a mamoth task but it took us more than an hour to zero in on the pair of jeans I wanted. We surveyed more than 9-10 showrooms and finally bought it from the very first shop we had went to – One peculiar thing I noticed in almost all of the shops were “effects of cost cutting”. Almost all of the shops had turned down their air conditioning (resulting in an extremely uneasy temperature inside). So much so, some shops were turning on their music systems only when customers used to enter the showrooms. Wow! I hope it saves them more $$ than it shoo’s away the customers…

Anyways – shopping for a pair of trousers was easier than shoes. Another half an hour and we were still wandering and looking for a decent pair of casuals – somehow the shops here didn’t seem to have much variety… – or my tastes are different hahaha – some assurance was that Sammy didn’t liked any either. (okay, so I am not so much off the mark here )

And before retiring back home, we went on to play a quick game of pool. It was first time for Sammy – but he’s a quick learner. In the half hour we played, he managed (or I should say, I managed ) to draw the game at 1game each – maybe next time! lol
