The world I live in

Won the throwball event. Participated almost full time on courts for basketball. Backup for the lady player for the Team A in Volley. Nice to be on winning teams for a change. Got selected for Samavesh. And that was a big surprise since I thought there were better players this time. With the end of Synergy came the Red Devils team party. Did something really stupid. Accepted a bottoms-up challenge of drinking rum on a nearly empty stomach. Had to endure head spinning for about an hour and half. Never again. But I had fun :)

I'm excited about being in Bangalore for 3 whole days. My plans at present include: - working from Bangalore for a day - meeting the book vendors the next day - just going around and doing nothing constructive on day 3 Not sure how much of this is going to happen. But yeah! I do hope to visit a few people whom I haven't seen in a long time. Neil's wedding is just the added bonus. My evenings are totally taken care of. On the flip side, the documents required for buying the flat aren't totally in my hands yet. The seller is very interested in receiving his payments soon. Wish he was interested in giving those blessed documents just as quickly too. Who carries that much cash in the pocket? Please! please! please! let all things happen in good time and favorably for Amrith and me. Would love to have a place of my own to call home.

Amrith & I have zeroed in on one place in Mangalore. It's a flat at Urwa Stores in Golden Empire. A 2-BHK in a 1200 sq.ft area on the 3rd floor. If all goes well, we both have a place for ourselves which we can finally call our own. The owner comes this Thur and hopefully works on getting the documents required for the sale. Besides this the only other happening was the BEF Get-together at Pallkhi's Roof Top. Had a pretty good time there with the other BEF's units. An initial welcome drink and we started with a game of identifying the members of various departments. Each department's members were asked to be seated together. After they completed their identification process, their papers were handed over to another department to be corrected. We (E&R) got HR's sheets and ours was given over to CCD. We ranked second in the game. We also had to speak about the department who's paper we were correcting. For hungry souls like me the starters that were served...
