I was given the previlege to enjoy the last week of 2009 at Coimbatore, courtesy to the "gotta-end soon" recession.. Yes, yet another cost cutting measure, but its kinda good in a way though to have a welcome break :) Atleast, I got sometime to put forth my resolutions.. Uh oh,hang on,ooops, actually I am searching for that list now ;) ...Okay let me stop trying to be tooo funny and write down what I actually intended to..
The past 10 days had been a really good time, making me enjoy, mourn, think and rejuvenate myself. Though the holiday started off with a bad note, because I had actually gotta attend a condolence service.. Well, that's actually a bad start, but yeah its something which you gotta be a part of to help the concerned people overcome the loss..
And yeah, the most wonderful thing I did was "driving".. Never did a day in these 10 days pass-by without me getting a chance to drive.. How lucky am I ?!?!.. hmph... If you guys could check up the picture on top left side of this webpage in the "About me" section, it was clicked during one of the hyper-excited moments...The other stuff done in these 10 days include reading novels, watching movies, staring at the new fish tank setup at home (this gotta be childish, but it was some kinda fun), sleeping (everyone's gotta love this anyway), eating at leiden (the famous burger joint known to PSG Techians),shopping, blah, blah, blah n still more blah....
Then came the time for New Year's eve which was spent quietly at home eating a scoop of ice-cream from Baskin Robbin's and Oceans 11 movie playing in my laptop to kill some time before the clock struck 12... It was the first day of the new year "2010" and I had some personal work to catch up with.. In the evening, some of friends had been in town to attend the "Young Alumni Meet (YAM)" to be held in my college on the subsequent days..
The guys who had been here, had booked tickets for the hindi flick "3 idoits"... Without knowing hindi, I decided to watch this movie.. Though I had understood the storyline of the movie, I often found myself among a sea of people who were laughing at certain dialogues, those for which I had the least idea of what it actually meant.. I often ended up laughing along with the people, mostly thinking about the "dilemma" I was in giving a thought as to whether I should "be a Roman in Rome" (meaning, whether I had to fake my laugh as though I had understood the dialogues).. But yeah, it was some kinda fun though, being in a theatre and watching a movie in a language over which you have a very little command.
The other two days (Jan 2nd and 3rd, 2010) was spent with the friends who had come for YAM, playing Table Tennis, going out for dinner, staying awake in hostel and never to forget the fool-play which my classmates did on the nite of Jan 2nd which makes me roll on the floor laughing, everytime I end up thinking about it... It was time, I had to depart Coimbatore, biding adieu to the "really short" 10 days..
It was a comfortable journey, with myself getting luckier to get a ticket to a seat with the emergency exit nearby.. As a fringe benefit, I get to enjoy almost two and a half times the normal leg space, now thats something I definitely gotta be happy for, so "yaaaayyyyy".. The next morning I wake up hearing the words "Banni re Banni" (meaning, "Quick, quick" in Kannada).. These words reminded am back again to Banglore, into a new state, back again to a lifestyle to drop my Vitamin-D production levels.... Signing offf for now people.... Hope ya liked enjoying this post as much as I did in these 10 days... Ciao!!!!...
