Just my luck....

I had not considered myself lucky even when:
>I get a drop daily from office UPTO my home.
>I was the only one to get a seat on our way back from kodchadri in a bus that was jam packed.

But this Sunday, when CSN's mixed parantha landed on my lap the claims got asserted. Beat this...
*All the seats at kanti sweets get occupied.
*No table just chairs.
*I get a seat beside Naga (Me not having ordered anything and he ordered mixed parantha).
*And the Mixed parantha just turned out to be too hot for Naga to place on his lap.
*It was then placed on my lap so that I can have it till it pleases me.

It was like it was WRITTEN.

Actually, it was just yet another "Irish coffee" or "The Jacket Naga" episode.

Something's Cooking.....

Finally shifted to my other friend's place. Was too nostalgic leaving the old room. Departed with loads of memories. The bugging sessions of chubs and gangu, our experiments with kitchen, kel's comments, me and vinay acting like a perfect jaathree. When Katti used to drop by it was just fun, fun and fun. It was just amazing how everyone gelled and had great time in that room.

Somethings of the top of my head from that room:
Memorable Movies:Boys don't cry, Speedracer, Bommarillu, Butterfly effect, Chak De, Ratatouille, The Pianist, Letters to Iwo Jima. Each of the movies has its own history.
Some restaurants that we could never get enough of: Udupi garden, Udupi sagar, Parota, cool joint, gangu mess, meal station, chowpatty, maiya's, SLV ,North karnataka mess, A2B, Marwa etc
Some television series: LOST, Prison Break, Heroes, DH, How I met your mother, That 70s show, Friends etc.
Chubs final ranks: Kel made it to top five. I was in top ten. Vinay and gangu in top 20. Raks never made it to the list.

Well, It was an END OF AN ERA......

Now in new room, its good that I am getting hands on cooking. My recent delicacies:
1]Avalakki(Beaten rice) Oggarne.
2]Pulav
3]Waggarne Anna.
Wish had a cell with camera. Could have posted pics :( .Still long way to go. Will update this list soon as I cook something new.

Pessimists+Optimists

Had been to Campus today on some office work, got to meet some friends there. Although entered it happily and the meeting went very well, had to exit it with mixed thoughts. The thought that kept striking me throughout my journey back was how a pessimistic mess the world around me has turned into. I am a born optimist, a million thanks to my parents for raising me so. My friends there kept going on and on about the failing projects and how they will sink soon and how I was on that sinking boat. It was as I thought their perspective. It was probably this perspective that made one of those guys a good tester, but if this logic works then I can never be as good tester as he is. I don't care, but I don't want to forsake my optimistic world for it. Its not just this one event but my lunch table which was part pessimistic but as many people left, now the ratio of pessimistic crowd has increased. However its great of some of my friends who are optimistic and cheerful always. Also one good thing that has happened to me is my new team, its really dynamic, friendly and a lot of fun.
Not intended to harm anybody so any references kindly do take it sportively. Also please don't stop giving me advices after this post. This is just my opinion at the end of the day.
