Battle of PaniBed

Friends, Romans, Countrymen ! Lend me thy ears....Hmmmm Enuff enuff...

So after suffering from Bedbugs for quite sometime, it was time for revenge. Inspite of scoring 50 (yes I killed 50 of these damn suckers) the day before, I just could not sleep.

Our attack was not a planned one. It was very much instantaneous. Mani and I launched the attack, starting from the master bedroom, the other bed room and then to the hall. We had face masks, cigarette lighter and Baygon in our armoury and launched one of the deadliest attacks. The operation went for close to 2 hours and finally it was done ! After a long fought battle, it was time to relax. So we ended up landing in our couch only to find some more bugs...... aah that was one last adda which we have not attacked. Not in a mood to start the attack once again, we have decided to call it off temporarily. But remember, we will be back with Vengeance !

Shantaram

It has been close to a month since I posted something here. Exams, Parties were all happening. Lots of things have happened on my personal front too. But I am not in a mood to share those things here. I have started reading the book "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts.
If you have not read this book, beg/borrow or steel and make sure that you read this book. What an amazing piece. A wonderful life history. This guy has lived his life to the fullest.

Please please read this book. It will definitely create a big impact on you.

Best of Luck

Atlast the last trimester is coming to an end. (not for me though).
The exam week is starting. Here is wishing everyone a succesful exam week. FSA, IM, MA, OB are exams that are round the corner.

BEST OF LUCK !

Insomniac

I dont know whose idea was it. But it all started with Mani saying let us go to Insomnia this week, couple of seniors are in the city. I was lil hesitant as Insomnia on a Wednesday can be a really painful experience the next day. But my hesitation was of no avail and the entire gang, of course there were exceptions were game for the night. Puja at someone's house was the reason and we all vanished at 9.00 PM from the class. Ended up getting into Insomnia around 9.45. Unlimited Orange juice for $18 from 9-11 PM. What more can you ask for ?:P

The first time when I went to Insomnia, I formed a decent impression about the place. Good music, Good crowd and you get to shake your leg. This time the impression was totally the opposite. The place no more has the class and it had become more of a pickup joint ! Tried to dance for sometime, but it was so crowded that I could barely move. The music was the same, but the crowd was not that great. Somehow spent my time there and came back home.

It rains roti these days at night for us at home. Thanks to Pillsburry, we have the readily available bela hua atta. Store these in the freezer and enjoy mast Rotis at night. We also tried Panneer at home. We had 400 gms of Amul Panneer and we also had the cooking procedure for Panneer Handi. I and Mani took over the mantle and ended up making a decent dish. I felt that the chillie was lil high and Mani felt that the salt was lil high. But all in all it was good and we enjoyed it.

The Kinrara Experience

Got a nice opportunity to see the match in KL as I had a meeting on Thursday and Friday at KL. On friday my work was over around 1 and I and Karuna went ahead with our plans of watching it at Kinrara. Just as we were standing in the line to buy our tickets, a gentleman approached us out of nowhere and asked us if we needed tickets. We thought that this guy has couple of tickets extra and his friends have not turned up. I went ahead in getting those tickets. When I opened my wallet to hand over the 122RM for the tickets the guy refused and walked off. So we ended up watching the cricket match free of cost ! Phew.....Could not believe my luck.

This was my first ever match when i watched it in the stadium. Went ahead in finding our seats as it was in the K row in the open. It was quite sultry and I was sweating like hell. We were seated in the first row and we were exactly square of the wicket. Watched closely the guys like Bhajji ,Veeru, Hayden and Martin when they were fielding. It was an entirely electric atmosphere. More than the match in the centre, the activities happening at the stands were more interesting. Few aussies were there too... "Haydo give us waive...." "Clarkie give us a waive..." were some of their funny lines ! Thoroughly enjoyed my day inspite of having a severe headache.

Too bad, we lost the match. Guys like Raina, Dhoni, Agarkar raised the hopes and let them die by playing some rather poor shots. A team could not chase 213 and win the match. Just too much. I need not write much about this.

Two states - Two different Scenarios ?

Very recently my parents have applied for passport. Here is my Dad, a Hindi Teacher in town, well known to everyone, living in the same town for the past 40 years had to struggle for getting his work done. These things are not new to me. I myself was at the receiving end once. But some of these guys had infact studied in the same school where my Dad served. It hurt. Maybe I can take solace from the fact that these guys are impartial to anyone and everyone when it comes to getting things done from them :). I called up my Dad and asked him to see Lage Raho. I was giving him hints that he should have followed the Munna way to get his work done. His reply was clear. He called these folks as "Anukool Shatru" and one cannot escape from them. Maybe I got too carried away from the movie or my current Singapore environment makes me long to see such a governance in my motherland too.

Talking about governance, I got to know a very heartening news from AK. His mom had to get close to 10K from the Tax Dept back, forwhich the authorities demanded 10% of the amount. His mom went and met the tax officer, where she was welcomed by the officer with a cup of tea and her work was done in a matter of minutes. The reason given is that the Govt has to incur interest expense when the public money is held by the Govt for a longtime. Such long pending amounts are tied to performances of authorities. This came as a pleasant surprise to me. An Indian Govt organisation where performance holds the key. It was difficult for me to believe. But it is happening. Such surprises make my day.

After watching the movie Lage Raho, I sat back and pondered about the movie's concept and its application to reality. Agreed, the movie had its cinematic elements. But the concept really had its effect on me. If confronted with a similar scenario, will I go the Mahatma/Munna way ? Dont think so. Why ? Probably I am a coward to follow what the Bapu has followed. I dont have the will or patience to face the struggle. I will crib, cry, shout..but will I remain tough ? Dont know !
Imagining this guy following his philosophies far away in South Africa and back in India (sorry tau). Takes some guts. Dont care what the saffron lovers say, but Bapu has remained numero uno in my heart and will remain so forever !

Too heavy a post... Chill guys... Go and watch Lage Raho... Watch it for Bapu or Sarkeshwar or Sunju Dada or Lucky Singh .....Arey yaar, be there for Vidya Balan atleast :)

Tendya tussi great ho !

It was heartening to see Tendya to score a ton on his return after a 6 months break. Too bad we lost the match. The matches are happening at KL and I dont have a chance to see the stars in action :(

Calls & Mails

Starting a new relationship needs a lot of changes in oneself. This seems to be one of the challenges and confusions these days for me. These days I am totally occupied with my work, studies, assignments etc during weekdays. The only time that I have is weekends. The time difference also does not help ! With these I have not been able to get in touch with her frequently. It is the same guy who has did not bother to call her and talk for hours !

This weekend is quite promising. We have plans of Lage Raho !!!! Heard that the movie is quite cool. Better than the first. Shud be fun. Divya Balan jo hai na:D. Jokes apart, it is Circuit whom I am really looking forward to. Arshad was the show stealer in the last version. This time heard that he rocks alongwith Boman Irani, another talented actor. Sunju bhai is made for that character. Will post the reviews later !

Weekeand action

What a weekend this one turned out to be ! Usually my weekend goes in sleep and cooking food. This time it was a little different. On saturday had to go out to meet a supplier and had a chance to go to Bombay Cafe at Paya Labar. Nice ambience. As soon as I entered, I asked for a Jal Jeera. After a longtime had Ragada Patties and Dhokla. A big longing came to an end. Atlast a place where I had some decent Dhokla. Had a Uttam Pizza also take away. Bill aaya $22.10. Hmm I had to console myself that it is a treat that I should give myself once in a while. It was worth it. Then came back and had Rajma prepared by DV. Rajma went on and on and on. Kitni time lethi hai.... Watched two movies and finally slept around 2 AM.

Early in the sunday morning I get a call from a new number. It was Chitra saying that she has reached Singapore airport and asking me what to do. I asked to get a transit visa and wait outside. Met her in the morning and took around Singapore. Took her to Takashimaya. Infact it was my first visit to that place. All the Chanels, LVs, Burberrys had their outlets in that place. ESSEC summer module did not go waste lah !
Good fun it was with her in Singapore for 4 hours.

Later in the evening it was the housewarming party. It was a rocking time we had after a longtime. The food was great and everything fell in place. DV turned out to the Best Rajma Cook. Let us hope everybody has a good time in the morning at the pot.

None of my assignments are done. It is because of some great souls that I am surviving this period. Thanks to all of you ! It is time now to sleep. Got to catch up with my work tomorrow! Coming to work, I had attended two trainings recently. One was the Effective presentation by Martin and other was Fast Start by Preeti. Quite good sessions though. Enjoyed'em both ! These trainings provide a great platform to meetup with other colleagues of my organisation.

So long !

(Sin/Cos) - Moy !

Tan-Gen Moy is embarking his journey to the University of Seattle this week. It has been more than a year since we joined NBS. I still remember the first time I met this guy ! It was at the ISC, where I had gone to submit some of my papers. Both of us chatted for sometime and I found one more engineer who is specialising in Technology. Kewl. Moy spoke very few words and it was kinda difficult to extract words from him. An introvert... that was the first impression of Gen Moy on me.
Many more incidents followed.
Gen Moy's roots were a mystery. Dada initially thought him as a fellow Bong and his usual "Bhai Hai Tu Mera..Bhai" were prominent in the initial few days.
While presenting a case on Toyota, Gen Moy wore a cap of Kaizen giving life to the presentation.
Gen Moy and I played frisbee opposite to Grad Hall. That was news for sometime at NBS.
Moy wore a sandal and went to Double O. Poor Moy had to go back and buy himself a pair of shoes and come.
His dances in the Grad Hall and his addiction to Saunf Wine came to be well known.
His dinner with So(u)m(e)-Man made news at NBS Grad Hall channel.
Finally his Shaayri this Friday showed us his poetic talents.

The guy slowly started opening up from the second trimester onwards and in third trimester the true colour of Moy as a jovial, fun loving guy came out ! The internship in Cisco with DV and Zaw saw the more responsible side of Moy. His presentations were widely appreciated by the Cisco managers. Good job Moy !

Now our General had decided to go and take on Uncle Sam. Google and Microsoft are waiting for you at Seattle Moy. We know that you can leave your mark at Seattle and make us all proud.

Wishing you all the best for a wonderful career ahead !

Man... You Rock :)

Energy Unlimited

Energy Unlimitd - This is what that came to my mind when I saw Shankar Mahadevan on stage. Same goes for Anuradha Sriram also. Srinivas, Tippu, Harini, Madhu Balakrishna, Binny were also there. Chitra was just awesome. It was close to 4 hours non stop music. Fell in love with the Singapore Indore stadium. What an infrastructure. Too bad we missed out ARR's show last year. Shivmani is god.... Drums were at his mercy yesterday. He is a genius. It was a great relief for me after a hectic week's work.

Also try this link this site folks, www.itwofs.com. Here is the intro by themselves.
"ItwoFS is simply Inspirations in Indian Film Songs! The motive of this site is straight and simple - to provide a comprehensive list of musical inspirations (sometimes subtle and intelligent but mostly downright blatant!) of Indian film music composers. The list is constantly growing and the most important source of additions is the mails from this site's visitors!"

Enjoy lah !

Discovering oneself

The past one month has been a learning experience in many ways. I am getting to know Arune as a person more these days. To my surprise, I find Arune can really be what I thought I could never be ! Probably it is due to work related stress or school having started and I am still recovering to that mindset. It could even be that I am starting a new relationship or I am staying with two centurians away from the hostel.

So what is up at my end? I have put everything in the previous para. Things are goin on as usual. The new Buena Vista center is a pain. I need to pull off two more trimesters there. God help me. Met Shamsher and Gogie after a longtime. Two courses this trimester. CBS and MA. After this I am done with my cores. Two more functional still left. Ka karein inka ? Need to ponder over the functional courses list ! I just dont want to take one more extra this trimester.

Nala Baagam

Nalan, the famous mythological king turned dwarf and served as a cook. Even today, cuisines served by men are called as "Nala Baagam". It is our turn to try out Nala Baagam at Orchid Park yesterday. We were eagerly waiting for the arrival of Mani to bring us food from Karus for dinner. But later he changed his plans and said he will arrive around 12 midnight. So I and DV decided to start. Yeah..we went to nearby stores and got ourselves the required utensils. Got vegetables and all the desi masala stuffs required..(thank god we have two desi stores nearby).
So it was rice in the microwave, Bhindi Masala as the subzee and Sambhar as the main course. Wow...wow... the very thought of it made me smile.

So, applying my MBO knowledge for the utensils, stoves, spoons and other kitchen stuffs, found that the Kadaai is the bottleneck. Went ahead in making the Bhindi masala. It was a success. Then when it came to Sambhar, halfway through realised that we did not buy Tamarind. Shame on me. I boiled drumstick thinking of putting it in sambhar. What to do ? No respite for poor DV. So went ahead with Dal Fry with drumstick in it. Sounded funny. But it turned out to be pretty good. Well..that is what DV said to me and I know DV is honest. ;-).

But Dont worry my friends ! DV is still alive and I think he had a normal time at the potty. Now it will be others turn to suffer Anna's Nala Baagam. Wow...wow..Nice way to take revenge on some of our folks. Dada said he wanted to have lunch with us at home.hee hee fancying my chances.

Bienvenue Freshmen...

The new batch at NBS have come in. Last week during our BI course(by the way, this was very much the repetetion of CRM course. So did not give me the fun though), when I was in GH, met up with some of them. Later yesterday during the orientation dinner, met up with them. Mani called me saying that Lee Lee has invited all of us and hence come over. Went to the dinner and saw the new faces with high hopes. Met Prof Vish after a long long time. Nice get together though...After the party, our guys decided to join at the lounge for some drinks. I thought the new batch would be joining us after dinner to spend sometime together. Hmm... to my disappointment none of them turned out at the Grad Hall lounge. I felt a lil strange...anyways forget it. We had our own share of fun at the Lounge with the Durian smell.

Welcome Freshmen! Have a great time at NBS. Enjoy your stay.

Btw, uske ghar pe Computer aa gaya hai. Chatted with her on google talk. Now the impact on the wallet will reduce. Thank god for that.

Joyeux Anniversaire

Congrats to me and all other NBS stalwarts for completing one year in Singapore and NBS. It was in July last year that we came here. July 13th was the day of registration and a couple of days later we had our orientation. Profs John Beck, Michael Connor, Ashish Lall rocked during the three days. Getting to know each other was fun. 14 Indians in Grad Hall from a single batch. What was one great contribution to the society ? Evolution of DVism as a phenomenon.

Naye bache aa rahe hain August 1st mein. Dada is sure gonna rock. He will be the most after dude in our batch. Let us wait and watch.

Happy Anniversary NBSers !

CRM @ the speed of .....

CRM @ the speed of light was one of those books which I rented from library and never read it. Having worked in MUST, a GEMS after sales service system, I had quite a decent idea as what CRM was and how things should work. Also after doing some sort of research for the Contact Center applications, I thought my CRM knowledge was quite decent, until I took the CRM course by Dr.Lakshmi Mohan.

Known as the mother of CRM, she is from State University of New York, Albany. What a treasure house of knowledge she is ! No words are enough to describe. Her energy level never ceases to decrease and it is hard to believe she is close to 70. Her background is simply amazing. A Ph.D in Maths from Columbia univ, 4 years of work experience in MR in HLL, Founder faculty of IIMC, Faculty at Sloan etc etc. She has been a consultant to all the top notch companies and taught in almost all the continents of the world. In tamil there is a saying.."Katravarukku sendra vidamellam Sirappu". She is a perfect example for that. We were dumbstruck by her classes for the past two days. What voice modulation, what case studies and what memory she has.. I was really lucky not to have missed her classes. My weekend has been just great. She is gonna teach BI for the next weekend. It is gonna be one more fun filled weekend. This is the first time in my life I am enjoying my weekend attending classes, preparing for lectures, getting ready for the assignments. Very rarely you come across people like her. Thanks NBS.

Well, as usual my ISD bills have been on the rise. Things are taking quite an interesting turn these days. I am getting to know her more these days. Life is gonna be a roller coaster after Feb. Aruneganeshaaaaaaaaa....... Take care.

Le Derniere Semaine

The last week of the ESSEC summer program was the most demanding week in the sense that we had to prepare really hard for partying. Since this was the last week, everyday we had to go out and party. I was lucky enough to escape around and be back before 12. Poor Ashish came home manytimes after midnite. On Friday he did a full nite out partying.

The week was full of action. We had a session on HR by Maurice and he was good. His talk about marriages and marriage counselling was good. Every marriage goes through three phases. First phase was the romantic phase. You like her. She likes you. The world is such a nice place to live in. This first phase is quite a shorter one though. Then enters the second one, the phase of Delusion. Here slowly reality strikes. The shortcomings of both the partners are exposed and the true nature of the couple shows off. The third one is the Acceptance phase, where couples accept their partners shortcomings and go ahead in their life loving the other. For the divorced couples, it is the delusion period that hits hard and they dont enter the acceptance phase but take the rejection option.

We had a visit to the Air France and Airport. Waht a wonderful waste of time. We were shown in the airport as where business class people check in, where economy class checks in, what is a lounge, what is there inside a lounge and all other wonderful things in an airport which any traveller is aware of ! Wastage of a day.. Could have slept the entire day for partying in the nite.
The next two days we had negotiation session with Alain Lempereuer. Nice sessions. Good cases and it was fun ripping Teelie with Dan during one of the negotiation cases. Enjoyed these thoroughly. Friday, we went to the ESSEC campus at Cergy where we had a session with Nicholas about Education from different parts of the world. Quite a decent session afterwhich we had dinner at a Restaurant situated at Van Goh's museum. It was the place where Van Goh stayed in his last years. The lunch was typically French with Rabbit and Lamb. For Ashish and me, they made special salads and vegetarian dishes. At the end of the day, we all went to Biere culture, where we partied. I came back around 9.30 to do the packing and also the key was with me. Next day bid adieu to Arun and Paris.

I should have taken the Air France flight from Chennai. Just could not help it. Took the Delta to Mumbai. Networked with a couple of managers on my way back. I am becoming a true follower of Dada these days. First Class and Networing. Was stuck in the Mumbai Airport for 7 hours for the next flight to Chennai. Lost my sleep all through the day.

Came Sunday. Came Chennai. Met my future partner once again and said yes to her! She came our house and we went to hers. It was a fun experience for me at my home when my relatives were taking me on in front of her. The same experience at her place too. Got to know her family.
It was a new experience altogether. Then went to Sarath's marriage reception. The guy has put on so much of weight ..seems so much of beer ! Got back in time for the night flight to Singapore.

Losing precious sleep all throughout the day. But hell, who cares about sleep. But the only pain in this trip was missing the world cup final. I was there cheering for France and Brazil during this worldcup in the bars of Paris. The final which France played against Italy was missed as I had to travel back to Singapore. Poor French, they lost it in the penalty shoot out... Felt sorry for them. Zidane going out with a red card, was not expected out of him. But what went in the field was something unsure. Why he got wild ? What was goin on between him and Materazzi ?
Not sure.

So the coming days promise to be more interesting and challenging. Got to register for my subjects. Shit loads of work is pending at office. Jet lag does not allow me to sleep. It is 4.15 in the morning and I am awake. Will take some time to adjust.

So long !

L for Luxury

This week, it is Luxury Brand Management. We had Simon Nyeck and Dennis Morrisset talking over the various concepts of luxury brand management. We also had a visit to Lous Vuitton Workshop, Museum and their Retail store. We got to know more about Fashion and Fashion brands. Atlast I found a subject which encourages me to watch FTV :-).

After this week, the final takeaway was that there is not much of a difference when it comes to Marketing of FMCG and luxury brands. Luxury brands make you dream, which puts them at the elite list. We also have the concept of Masstige, where some of the prestigious brands becoming accessible to commoners. All in all a nice one week of learning.

LV visit needs a special mention. Their workshop was on one corner of Paris. I was shocked to see Osterich, Alligator skins used as Exotic leathers for their bags. Also had a look at their museums, which had snake leather bags and seal leather bags. These guys get the leather from authorised suppliers and you need to have the permit to carry these leather bags for your travel. Left me thinking that we are taking the entire animal kingdom for granted for our luxury. The craftsmanship at LV is something that should be praised. Observed some of their employees making bags and trunks. Being a Mechanical Engineer I just could not help the feeling that if these processes were automated, they could en up producing more bags at a shorter time with much better quality. But it is for the craftsmanship they charge such a higher price.
Their museum had some special orders which were made for specific customers. Attained bliss on taking snaps with custom made order of Sharon Stone:-).

Friday night had the chance to visit this placed Caveaux de la Huichette, where Jazz was first played in Paris. As the name implies, it is a cave, where the Jazz band plays throughout the night and we have the old French men and women dancing. Swing or Lin-Hop was there to see and God it was so wonderful to see all these older people enjoying their time. Maybe I should take a clue from them.

Saturday, it was the France Brazil match and after the match was won by France, we went to Champs Elysees to have a look. Man it was chaos with cars honking and the traffic completely blocked. There were huge processions going on shouting Allez Le Bleu, ZIZOU and HENRY. ¨People were screaming, shouting, venting out their emotions. Made me feel a little uncomfortable,I should say. Here is the other face of Paris. This was completely opposite to the one that we saw at the Jazz place.

The third face of Paris was seen when we visited the artists village at Montmarte. It was a wonderful place with artists painting the portraits/caricatures of the walkers. I and Ashish got our caricatures done and it was really funny. These guys are geniuses in their own way. A couple of strokes here and a couple there, voila... you have the caricature of Arune ready! Later went for the boat ride at the river Siene.

One more week of romancing Paris still left. I just somehow dont feel that I have had enough of this place. Paris Je t'aime !!!!

Belgique! Here I am.

Friday was kinda hectic in the sense we had to dress up in full suit to Louvre museum(sounds odd) and then to Credit Agricole visit. Also we had to change from Arun's place to Jitin's place. Arun and Jitin said that they will take care of the shift. We also had plans to go to Normandie by car. I and Tom tried to arrange something on the net, but in vain. So we gaveup the Normandie plan. At the back of mind, I was having the Belgium plan, if Normandie fails.

We saw the match at Arun's place on Friday nite after deciding that we will take the Thalys to Brussels. Saturday we reached Gare Du nord around 9.30. Got the ticket to Brussels for the 9.55 train. We went Dada's style this time... yeah..First class! Called up Kama in advance saying that we are coming to Brussels. Reached Brussels Midi in an hour and 20 min. From there went to Brussels Nord. Got up with Kama. Met him after 4 years. The guy has become more stylish these days. I looked the new Kama and his specs.

After a good meal at Kama's place we went to have a look at Brussels. First we went to Grand Place where we met our very old friend Shiv Puram. The guy remains the same. No change in voice. Then we went to Mannekan Piss. Opposite to the piss, we had drinks. I recommended to Ashish the Cherry Beer, which he enjoyed a lot. Later we went around shopping and went to Atomium. Our bad luck, it was closed after 5.00 PM. So was the case of the miniature Park. Atlast came back and had good food once again. Kama cooks really well. Dost Thanks for the grub.

Sunday was the day! Went to Brugges the third time. I just dont seem to have enough of this place. Took us one hour from Brussels by train. We went to the City Tower(close to 800 short, steep steps). Nice view from there. Also had the canal ride. Then roamed the place as I did during the last time too. This time weather played spoil sport. It was drizzling all the time.
Bad luck. Came back around 11.00 to Paris Nord. Reached home around 12.00 and Jitin had cooked rice for us. Our friends have really taken care of us this time. Indebted to them a lot.

Rest of the first week

The week went off. The first week at ESSEC was quite okay. Except for the first day, the rest of the days were ordinary.

Tuesday, we had a Macroeconomic view of Euro, Euroconversion etc by Andre Fourcans. He was quite okay. Afternoon we went to Paris Stock Exchange. Took snaps at the exchange. Nice place for an exchange. Now it is fully computerised. We had a presentation about the Euronext, Derivatives (Sleepy....) by the people from the exchange. Later we went around Operah, St Michel. Came back and slept.

Wednesday, it was Macro once again. Afternoon we had lunch at Champs Elysees. Later walked all the way to St Germain via Concorde. Saw the match in a bar. It was Fete De la Musique in Paris that day. Went to two different places. The second place was the Ministiere D Outre Mer, where we had Carribean music by Mike Ibrahim. Later we had Polynesian tribal dance. Enjoyed the show thoroughly. Went to Odeon later. It was raining like hell, hence came back.

Thursday, it was Entrepreneurship. We had a case study in the morning. Later in the afternoon we had a talk by one of the ex ESSEC student, who is owning a company now. Quite a day. Roamed around in the malls of La Defense. Met a wonderful waitress, who liked like Drew Barrymore. Dil kho gaya re....

Friday, it was the Louvre visit and later it was the visit to Credit Agricole. Louvre visit was more towards the Dutch paintings, French painitings. Went and saw Mona Lisa. Too immature to comment about the beauty of these. So keeping my mouth shut.

Now it is Saturday today. Decided in the morning to to Brussels. Took Ashish and rushed to Gare Du Nord. Got tickets and now I am at Kama's place writing this blog. Quite an eventful week. Planning to go to Brugges tomorrow.

Had been talking to Amma and her. Need to talk to her some more time and come to a conclusion. Idhar Mobile international roaming mein vaat lagne waali hai. Cant help it.
