Chennai Day - 3

My brother's happy birthday. 26 today is the boy.
Don't know his phone number so would call and log the wishes with his parents.
Maybe drop in a line as well if gmail remembers it.
And a slow day at the office till now.
After the hysteria around the new animal in the zoo on Monday & Tuesday.. the place has quietened down. They sent out a "Welcome to S & P - AMS, Hari Singh" e-mail, with my picture - so that no one misses the new animal when he goes to the loo or cafeteria.
Some people are pasting buntings and exploding random balloons from cubicle to cubicle. "Happy Diwali" says a large banner. And I am telling myself to be calm and not over-react to explosions like I did 2 days back. Ek blast hi to hai ??
One of my flatmates- shocked me yesterday when he said
1) Lara was the better batsman
2) Definitely looked better and provided more excitement
3) He had seen his 153* at Bridgetown Live on TV and its the big performance that matters.

I .. I don't know.. these days when you meet sensible people.. you are at a loss to say anything.
I think the last time I gaped so much was when I was 15 3/4 ~ 16.
Those were the days - life was full of surprises and things unknown - I am sure you have been through the same period at around the same time in your life. Hmm...
Some stupid f**k just exploded another balloon behind me. Hey Bhagwaan, ab main zyada der control nahi kar paoonga. Suar kahiin ka. Lets get out.
P.S. Had an awesome conversation with Manish Agnihothri (IIFT), and finer people you don't get. Meeting him next week.
