The Night of No Electricuty




It's been quite some time since I've put up anything here. Reason? Mostly procrastination :)
A lot has been happening... all-expense paid delhi trip (yay!), self-expense paid Pune & Mahableshwar trip (double yay!), and the biggest one of all, people trying to send me down the marriage trip (the Mayajal, as someone put it). Am gonna post in detail about these (each one an adventure in its own right) sometime soon (did i mention something along the lines of procrastination?).

The picture seen above was clicked last night at Eat Street. Just as we were getting into the rhythm of cursing Hyd summers like every year, out comes a surprize rain shower. Had a great bike ride to the lake last night, clicked a lot of snaps trying to capture the weather on the 2.2" screen while having yummy cholla-bhaturas and headed back home with happy thoughts about having one of those cozy rainy night sleeps.
Enter Madhapur, enter darkness. For the umpteenth time this month, the electricity Gods decided to stay away from here. We decided to make the best of it... ghoti hui (I still don't know what you call it in English - churned?) coffee on the balcony, listening to Rehman songs on the terrace, sipping cool cool Khas sharbet while exploring various options of spending the night. And then magic at 2 o' clock - never before has just a rotating fan felt so good.

not-so-anonymous,
IF you remember correctly, the f.r.i.e.n.d.s deal (http://www.friends-tv.org/zz625.html)
starts with a big IF :p

I'd almost forgotten that video-incriminating-evidence! And hey they were actually swollen toe adventures if i rem correctly... which might not be true given my state at the time :)

The mayajaal is catching up - procrastination won't help any further.

If you wanna escape, run. This might even help shed a bit of excess baggage.

btw, in absence of any boastful updates on the 20-20 front, should it be assumed that the plot is not unfolding exactly as per the plan..

duh-duh,
well i might just have to actively avoid the mayajaal now instead of just procrastinating :p

Oh and i think i am gonna owe you the 20k soon, unless I manage to catch something like jaundice! Well today being monday - day of resolutions - let me renew mine and start again where i seem to have left off.
