Towny and Burby go to Town
With the Mouse‘s exams over, it was unwinding time.
Met up with her on Tuesday and we set off to town accompanied by her sister to catch The Namesake. The movie was interesting and all the actors do their parts well. I will write a detailed review of this sometime soon.
The movie was followed by “cheap” Chinese… it wasn’t that cheap but we definitely ate our fill for less than 200 bucks.
Then began the journey back home. We took a train from CST, which makes it the first time in my life that I have travelled by Central Railways (did I mention that I am a bike person?)
Got home at almost 11pm and as usual, my internet was down, which is a nightly feature. Anyway, I have picked up a Reliance NetConnect connection. I am supposed to have the first two months free for the 1GB plan that I chose.
The last two nights I have used the plan. I haven’t hit my daily target but I have to keep checking the account. I plan on shifting to the Night Unlimited plan once I get to Pune.
Yesterday, was back to town again, this time was a totally different purpose. I first met the mouse at Metropolis Medical Center. Nice place inside, horrible building outside :O
Lunch was pizza from Garcia’s which is normally good, but was a real disaster this time.
We finally set out to town in the afternoon. Our first stop was at the Strand Book Exhibition at Sunderbai hall. Didn’t find any of the books that I was looking for.
Next stop was near Regal to pick up tshirts from the Tantra outlet there. Women can sure spend a lot of time shopping. And the final stop was at Chimanlal’s to pick up expensive paper!
While there, we roamed the streets of town and I managed to pick up a great deal of books for little amounts of money. Among these I picked up The Alchemist, The Kite Runner, The World Is Flat, The Old Man and The Sea, The Catcher in the Rye and Angels & Demons.
And did I mention that I downed a huge glass of sugarcane juice??
After a rather fulfilling shopping experience and two aching legs we finally found our way back home.

Garcia’s? When did that open? Is Smokin’ Joes still around?
Garcia’s is quite an old one, but they got few branches.
Smokin’ Joes is still very much around.
Man!! I need to buy a Reliance Data Card, as my net connection is always down by default (some unavoidable ongoing repairs going on)…. Anyway… We have no power upto 10 hours each day, so buying an alternative net connection doesn’t make any sense.
I’ll call you luck!
I have the same problem with my internet. We will be having power cutting here I guess, as of now we have constant power.
We have problem with sub-system networks, we encounter performans issues always.
The Alchemist from Paulo Coelho is a very good book. Since he is a native from my home country Brazil I know his guy very well. This the first and ONLY good book he wrote. He made a lot of money from other books but they are all very, very bad.
Olavo
