A Perfect Holiday!

After a really long time, I had a wonderful weekend! Me and my wife spent last two days at my relatives place in Sagara, which was far far away from the fast pace of the city life…surrounded by thick forest and farmlands…No Internet, No mobile phone, Not even an English Newspaper…Where the main highway was about 2kms, reachable only by a narrow mud lane...I thoroughly enjoyed the time there, with lots of fun, chat, long walks and good food J…I also got to do some photography(well, a lot in fact, clicked about 400 odd snaps) in the gardens and forest, learnt something new about the trees/plants in forest, got to see different flowers…Above all, had a nice time with my relatives. Even though we don’t know each other’s language perfectly, we were able to communicate a lot, with my broken kannada! Last year, I visited the same place as a tourist and visited the same house as a guest (well, my wife was a friend then and we were just getting to know each other better)…But this time, it was a wonderful homely feeling…Missing the place already!

Snippets

Done with my last assignment for the coursework, at last completed my first year B-school classes! Phew!

Am I really going to study Kotler, before the quiz on the opening day, next term???

 

Watched 3 movies in the last 2 days, “Twelve angry men” is a must watch movie! Also, for the first time in my life, I watched a kannada movie completely J

 

Why does it rain every evening, especially when I am returning back from work? It is OK if it rains on weekends, especially during afternoons…

 

I had subscribed to lot of blogs which I don’t follow anymore, so I am on an “unsubscribing” spree…

 

I have started listening to books, instead of reading them (yeah, audiobooks!)…Currently listening to “Freakanomics” (which was in my to read list in 2005!)

 

I just realized I haven’t touched my camera for more than a month…Will get a chance to shoot this weekend…

 

Lot of promises to fulfill (some are pending for over 4 months)…Need to see how many I can knock off from that list…

Caught!

Today evening, me and my wife were out for shopping. We entered a footwear shop and my wife started looking at all available models and was trying to decide what to buy. Here is our conversation:

Me(with a tired look): So found something?
Wife: Yeah, trying to figure out which one looks good
Me: Oh ok, how about the 3rd one in the second rack?
Wife: Nope, that's awful
Me: Hmmm, i know. I can easily figure out which one looks bad, but i cant figure out which one is good (easy way to escape)
Wife: Good. Tell me dear,(pointing at a footwear in the rack), doesn't this look bad?
Me: Yeah, it looks ugly and bad, don't know who wears such crap
Wife: Huh! Its the same model that i am wearing now. When i purchased it at the same shop, you told me that it was wonderful and it was a really nice choice!
Me: He he he...
