Caught up with an “almost childhood” friend tonight. While it was very apparent we have changed over the last few years, the camaraderie was still there.

Hung out at Totos for some time before heading over to 5Spice for a Chinese dinner. I had a nice evening talking about the old times and catching up [...]

We were scheduled to visit some Reliance Fresh stores and the Distribution Center in Pune. We agreed to meet at Vashi at 7 in the morning with a promise from Harish that we’ll leave on time(and with complete knowledge that we’re never going to leave before 8!)
Bhairavi’s parents we kind enough to give us a [...]

For the last 23 years the nation has had a holiday on the day I was born (it being India’s Independence Day) and I’m sure for as long as I live in this country it will continue being a holiday on that day.
I’ve always got super excited about my birthday and this year [...]

Rixon came of age on the 1 August. As seems to be the trend his girlfriend planned a ( not so) surprise party for him. She asked Ruth and I to handle the games. This is what we came up with:

Turn Rixon into Roxanne
Rabbit’s nibble
Passing the parcel
Birthday messages for the birthday boy
Coffeepot

It was a very pretty lady’s birthday yesterday.
I had planned to drop in and surprise her in the evening but she beat me to it and I got invited to dinner. Rushed home from work, changed and headed to her place.

Got up feeling terribly sleepy as I had a rough night. It was the youth group’s turn to do the liturgy at the 8.30 mass and since I had committed to doing a reading I had to be there. Fr. Denzil preached a long winding sermon and I lost track of what he was saying [...]

The 1st of June saw a lovely lady turn 50. Had a lovely time as usual at Andheri. Went out and out from work and decided to stay the night. Ruth met me there. Caught up with a lot of people I hadn’t met in ages. Met the scrabble champ - apart from being a [...]

Thursday the 31st of May was Ajay’s last day in the city. As of now his new residence will be the SCMHRD Hostel. We met in the evening. I was torn between meeting him and not. I hate saying goodbyes. The ones you say to people you really care about are the hardest.
We had dinner [...]

We had plans to go for Pirates of the Caribbean on the 27th but Ajay was hugely disappointed when we realised that the movie was releasing only on the first - the day he was moving to Pune. The same was the case of Shrek.

However there was a paid preview of Shrek 3 at Fame [...]

We were woken up early as we had to pack to leave. Crispin went to Badem to pick up [...]
