Went for the 8;30 mass. I completely switched off during the sermon. Came home quickly as I had to head to Andheri soon after. Made some of the lunch and started off to Ajay’s place. Reached Dadar to realise there were horrible lines so bought CVM coupons instead. Luckily got a fast train immediately and [...]

Saturday saw a flurry of activity at Tulsiani Chambers. The morning started out with a lot of long faces. Guess people prefer the trip to town than that to Ghansoli. Anyway the packers came and then everyone was running around getting all important data together as no one is quite sure whether it will all [...]

Sunil and Manoj put us to work on the PMS (Performance Management System) project that they have been loaded with from January. Basically they seem to have a mismanagement of the data - with it being sent in bits and pieces from all over the country. The excel is fun though. I think I have [...]

After a few days of chaos, things at work are finally settling down. Not that we have individual computers but things are improving. Apparently the group I work with have the perception that my Excel skills are way better that theirs (I know one person who is going to smirk at this) so I landed [...]

Barely managed to wake up in the morning for the 8.30 a.m. mass. John said the mass and come to think of it, it will probably be the last Sunday mass he says in the parish. He’s going to be going to Dharavi as Parish Priest. We are sure going to miss his dynamic presence [...]

I’ve been working for the last 11 days and haven’t accomplished much. The sole reason being the lack of resources at work. For a multi million dollar company, it sure doesn’t say much.
We’re been given projects which to a large extent are research based. How does one hope to achieve anything without a workstation, computer [...]

After much planning about where to catch the movie, we finally settled for a place in town since Spider Man 3 was running at 4 places there. We decided to take our chances for tickets for the 4 p.m. show.
Landed at Eros to find a mighty crowd and decided that we probably would not get [...]

Monday, our last day in Goa. The week just ran by so quickly. But then I guess that is what happens when your having a fantastic time. I’ve never had a more fun packed week in Goa!
We were woken up early as we had to pack to leave. Crispin went to Badem to pick up [...]

I hate going to the usual beaches (Baga, Calangute, Anjuna) in Goa because they are extremely crowded and also because they are rather far from where we stay. Since the boys were with us we decided to head to the beach and take our chances. Valley simply surprised us with the secluded beach she took [...]

We were up (not so) bright and early Sunday morning. Quickly dressed and went for mass. We were sweating buckets of water by the time me got there. The was absolutely no place in church so we had to sit in the passage outside. Thankfully there were fans. Valley and Crispin managed to get us [...]
