Month: December 2000

Monday.. such an eventful day.. I dont remember anything but being hectic in the office. After office, went to Rashmi’s place, watched “Yes Minister on BBC2., went home, made & had food, wrote journal in the notepad for last two days, went again to Zubin’s place, Checked mail, watched a bit of “The Robin Hood – Men in tights”, a spoof movie, went to sleep..

Today Morning, I woke up at around 8.30, had a good refreshing bath, went for a walk with Zakir and Seema, went in for breakfast (Baked Beans, Toast, Hash Browns, cheese etc), bid adieu to everyone and left the hotel at around 11.30 to home.. Drove back to London, got lost again.. somehow managed to reach Zubin’s home.. Described the party for the three enthusiastic listners.. Went to sleep, got up in the evening, had food, drove back home.. went for sleep.. what a weekend!!!

Friday evening was spent, with a lot of blah blah with Ramesh and family, along with Zubin, Rashmi and Girish. Had a plan to go to Bowling and pool, but since Ramesh and his wife were tired, we cancelled it. Went home late and got into bed.

Had a haircut today afternoon and had a greeaaat bath. I always feel fresh after a 20 minutes under shower(who dosent). I was later preparing for my CHRISTMAS PARTY tomorrow. It will be at Hotel Belton Woods at Grantham. Its a 2 and 1/2 hours drive from my place.. I will have to start tomorrow afternoon. Before that I will have to clean my Car, check the tyre pressure, oil, petrol etc etc.. I was thinking of taking photos, scanning them and put them on my long overdue webpage. Well have to wait and see.

Dont have time to update the journal now.. But will suffice for one small thing which I heard when I was watching “The Simpsons”. Homer was speaking to Marge.. who was feeling guilty since she was one of the reason for one of their friends to get divorced., (I dont know the exact wordings, but it is what it meant.)

Marge: I feel bad as I am partially to blame.
Homer: Blame yourself once and move on.

Another lesson??!!!

Yesterday, I directly went home, made poha., and then ate it..(I was really hungy!!), Erica also tasted it and wanted some more.. why not I said (anything for a good ego massage!!) She seems to have liked it, since she asked me for the recepie and from where to get the ingredients. Then after a bit of break, I started making Pulinkari.. Well, it was coming up nicely, when Somebody called, and it was Ramesh!!! He’s come down to Zubin’s place.. Only “tadka” was remaining for the pulinkari, so I put it in a box and took it with me to see Ramesh..

Following is what went on .. Blah Blah Blah blah Grub, glug, blah blah blah,, bla bla bal .. blbla.. and more blah.. grub, glug and more blah.. Had a fun time. Ramesh’s wife Rachna and his kid Harsh was also there. Had a lot of fun with the Junior “Bhayyaji” also. Was a bit nostalgic, since I remembered the days, when Myslef and Ramesh came to UK together, stayed together and had our fun. We left for Hounslow, as Ramesh had to collect some photographs from our old address. Cameback for a Sumptous meal. I went for Rice with Pulinkari with Pappadom. There was Dum aloo, Salad, and also some other thing.. But I wanted Rice and Pulinkari, with pappadom. I really enjoyed it.. Then we resumed.. Blah blah blah blah blah…. in between Girish wanted to show his resume to me, just to get some ..then again bla..

Today got up late reached office half hour late, Rajesh was already in.. Cherie, who used to work here called up and wanted to speak to Smruti, which I beleive is about me, Cherie is Jimmy’s(my House Owners) sister and earlier used to work in our company.. I bet its regarding me, not helping him in cleaning the house.. To hell with cleaning.. I will do it when I want to. On second thoughts, I’ll have to do it today!!! eeek.

Work.. did some work today(as if I dont do it daily)., Received mail from Mani and sundaram mama.. Mani had sent the photo of Arti manni. Received mail from Pradeep, regarding the information which I wanted off him, Now I have to go through it and understand it. Sent a mail to Radhu.. (just instinctively).. dont know what the reply will be, anyway not concerned about that too much also.

In between, I felt down., sent a mail to Sunita, and we had a bit of chat using email.. Soon, she will also move to America after her marriage. She boosted up me a bit., then I gave her a call at her home asked for “pulinkari” recepie.. She dont have it.. Well I think I can get from the net. I will be serching for that soon. Feel like having pulinkari, Rice and pappadoms.. Will be going home and try to conjure up the same.. (I’m feeling hunggggggggry… ammmmmmmaaaaaaaaa).

“The best relationship is the one, where love of one for another matters, more than the need to be with each other.”

Yesterday night, I finised “The Fountainhead”., Lot of startling philo- on the last pages. I will need time to let it sink and think about it. Oh yes.. I bought myslef a mixer, made Sabudana Khichdi and ate(all by my own), before burying myself in the fountainhead. I am thinking of publishing the recepie on a webpage.. What if no one visits it, atleast I can visit it.

Woz just wondering, how fast time flies., its already december and another month and then it will be another year. I’m enjoying this.
