Office looks ok - food is ok. Flat is nice. There is no lift - just an inviting abyss that meets a watery grave 4 floors down - sleepwalking is curable as per the cook's malicious claim.
More adventures on the return bus journey are promised. My limited experience of the bus journey tells me that Chennai women are not as innocent as their ample behinds and oiled hair suggest. Would make sure I stay at the back today while returning. Roomie is a mallu & a fresher, who is from Thrissur and in his words, "doesn't smoke, doesn't drink." I regret to say that in the one hour at the flat & the hour and half to office, he has become a fan.
If I remember correctly, he's promised to look for a place near office today for me as well. "you can join us". And the "I'm a puppy, pat me" look.Well, I guess he's just plain lucky.
One thing I have learnt in 24 hours is that you cannot criticize the short b*****d Tendulkar in Chennai. Him of the 38.44 fourth innings average. Yeah, same one! :D
I was trying to explain my views on the subject to one of my flatmates last night and he got into a sulk. Hmm.. "Main die-hard fan hoon Sachin ka" in his own words. And the first thing that hits you on arrival is CSK - Messrs. Murali, Dhoni, Hayden - and well, one's a chucker, the other's a flat track bully and the third was sanctimonious. Anyways, with RR out of the IPL, and don't I love the benaami, clueless Shilpa Shitty asking people for support, CSK would soon be my favourite IPL team - because watching an IPL game at the MAC is high on my agenda :D
People are reserved and don't appreciate in your face - so I stay away and say excuse me - and approach only if permitted. Office workers are just as laidback here - And I have been given a rather cozy conference room for the day here as well. Some things just don't change! I guess I need some filter kaapi - and I need to hunt it so that I can get my fix.
Life's tough - but then Toska got me here. Take care.
Whoever & Wherever you are.
