The Week That Was

Its been a few days since I blogged last and it will be a few more before the next one as Rekha and I are off on a road trip across Kerala starting morning to Thekkady, 2 days in Munnar and one day in a houseboat in the backwaters of Kumarkom. All excited are we. Call it our first honey moon for namesake.

So how was the week that just went by. To put it into perspective, boring, interesting, researching and really techno stuff.

So whats boring is my my work life as, at this point of time, thanks to recession there isn't any quality work am doing which does not satisfy my never dying appetite to learn new and fresh things.

Whats interesting, is the way I have taken on to look at better opportunities and plan the trip am looking forward to. Really researched where to go, how to get there, the actual planning of the trip, the logistics, the bookings -- used all the negotiation skills I have to get the best bargains.

For the week I really enjoyed watching the movie NAAN KADUVUL - a must watch for the story line , the screen play and the acting by the Hero and Heroine. I wont be surprised if they got national awards. Bala the director was at his mesmerising best.

A bit on the story -- its about AGHORI's and the Mafia that deals with Beggars -- Truly Awesome.

My wife really liked it. Then for the fun bit we watched Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye -- Again a must watch -- Please follow the chaste Hindi closely. Then the ever watchable KAL HO NA HO -- Kanta Bhai -- what a character.

My living room turned into a near war zone this week, with my wife starting to follow English football and has started to hate Manchester United and has become an ardent follower of Chelsea. Can you beat it, that she saw the entire second half this morning of last night's European champions league game between Chelsea and Liverpool and calls me to inform that Chelsea won 3-1. Man its football fanaticism here. Don't know when its going to be a blood bath. But all losers dislike Manchester United. :)

Waiting to see whether she intends to follow the Bangalore Royal Challengers in the IPL, just for the sake she is from Bangalore or any other team, as my loyalty is certainly with .... you guessed it the Chennai Super Kings.

Don't want to bother you guys with the cooking recipe's as my brother must be flooding your mail boxes with his recipe's. Just want to say that my wife is improving on her cooking daily and created some awesome dishes last week.

To end the blog, I really want to give myself a pat on the back for improving tech skills this week. I installed some google products onto my phone, like You Tube, Search engine etc. and guess what, my phone crashed. Reset my entire phone and installed them again and now am connected to You Tube on the move. Downloaded loads of Russel Peter's stand up comedy, music and movies.

Will let you guys here for the moment and do wait for my pics from the road trip.

Adios and keep watching this space.
