Tidbits from my world..

It’s been a month since last blog. Not that, I don’t have anything to write. These days, I am all “eyes and ears” to whats happening nearby and whether the same can be converted to some blog !! Have to admit, this Blog-thing has ensured that mind doesn’t doze off!! So there have been many things on which I had thought of scribbling something on, but somehow couldn’t manage the time and resources to do that..

So let me just summarise few of the events in my life in the past month.. none-the life changing or life-threatening ones.. but still, worth mentioning!!

Pune (July 11-12)
Been to Pune with Friends for marriage of Aakanksha… Had a wonderful time…. Wish her a Happy Married Life !!

Returned on 12th in car and .. that’s when .. our car got stuck !!

Had studied in school that “terrestrial craters are formed when a large meteorid, asteroid or a comet smashes into a planet”. We started wondering which one of these three were responsible for the big hole that was found in between the road near Shilphata just off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway enroute to Dombivli… But it turned out to be a fourth factor - the “efficiency of the work done by the governmental authorities” !! And there were plenty of such craters on this road, so much that a satellite picture may even think that they are capturing the images of the moon

After we exchanged our customary “niceties” on the governmental apathy, we had to get down and lift the car from the hole and put it back on track. All this ensured we spent about 1.5 hours in the filthy water that had filled in that “crater” !!

Kerala (July 16-20)
Been to Kerala to meet my grandmothers and my great-grandmother as well as other relatives to seek their blessings before my marriage, as they won’t be able to grace the occasion… Was a short and good trip
.... Plenty much to talk of Kerala .. maybe in another blog !!

Flight to Madrid via Paris (July 22)
Just a routine flight back to what-has-been-recently ‘my second home’, Madrid… since April, this was my fifth visit to the city!!
For the first time though, I traveled by Air France coming through Paris. Two mentionable things in the trip:
a) Saw Yuvraj Singh at the Mumbai airport. He walked past me, not once but twice, maybe in a desperate attempt to grab my attention. But then, I chose not to get disturbed as I can’t be talking to everybody naa, leave alone giving batting advices to all !!
b) As I was traveling via Paris, I was hoping to see the only major attraction, I have heard and seen in movies – the Eiffel Tower. Well, I did manage to see it.. but from some 3,000 ft above the ground… Maybe that’s too far off to actually admire its beauty.. as all I could recollect from that Wonder-of-the-World was the numerous electric towers back in India !!

That’s me for now .. at Madrid.. busy with the Spanish life... and so on and so forth.. till I write again…

Adios
