Having spent rather exhausting three days in Mumbai, I met up with Sneha, Akshat and Neha for pizzas at the Pizza Hut in Powai.

Was surprised to see a whole new menu on offer. There have been several good additions to the menu, but there have been equally bad ones. Going to check if the menu has been updated in Bangalore as well.

I headed off home soon after dinner. Marise came over on Friday as well as Saturday. Friday and Saturday both turned out to be extremely rainy days. However, the newspapers claim that it rained everywhere except the lakes!

Marise and me went over to her house on Saturday evening, so that I could meet the family. Attended mass as well, after quite a while, at the Sacred Hearth Church in Worli, had a quick dinner and set off in the rain back to Andheri.

I wasn’t able to find a single cab but was lucky enough to find a 39 that brought me right up to Nelco, where I caught a 333 back home.

Began packing for returning to Bangalore this morning. It doesn’t take much time when you have minimal dumping to do. Got a rickshaw to the airport. Asked for the row number 6 seat in the airplane, since it was the same row with ample leg space on my journey to Mumbai. Wasn’t disappointed and one of the cabin crew turned out to be the same one on my flight to Mumbai! Decided to grab some grub in the plane itself, since it is cheaper to eat there than at the airport.

The journey was rather peaceful, with minor turbulence. I caught one of the A/C buses from the airport that dropped me off at Koramangala 1st block, where I caught a rick home. Have finally settled in. It’s work day from tomorrow, which means reduced updates out here!

I am going to vent in this post. So, if you don’t like me grumbling then this is where you should you leave! (But do come back)!

And for those who don’t mind me grumbling…

Sunday began with yet another AIMCAT. With two AIMCATs to go I will admit that I am still struggling to get the strategy correct.

That’s what Dad and I did on Wednesday and Thursday.

We went to the travel agent who has his office in Khar Market (near Khar West Station).

On Wednesday, just as we were about to leave it started pouring!

So dropped the idea of taking the bike, and we took a rick instead. The ticket was ready and just before we set off home, Dad came to know that he didn’t need to fly to Abu Dhabi and also didn’t need to fly on Thursday morning as originally planned.

So we just asked the agent to book the new tickets and headed home.

So on Thursday morning, we once again set out to Khar market to get the new ticket. However, this time we went by bike inspite of the slight drizzle.

After picking up the ticket, we dropped in at my Dad’s Mom’s place for a while and then came home.

The rest of the days, uneventful.

Uploaded the pictures and videos from my Sony Handycam today. Am amazed by the quality of both the video, audio and the pictures.

It may be a little big to cart around, but is well worth it. I’m going to enjoy

So began Saturday, like any other day.

Dad and I set off towards Mahin at a clinic there. Reached there well on time, waited a while, finished the tests and set off towards my grandmom’s place.

Just as we reached St. Michael’s Church signal, the skies opened up and let down their blessing!

It’s been raining all day today. Infact, it has just continued since yesterday. Woke up, found it raining and went back to bed.

Stayed at home all day long while the rains came down outside. Reports have it that as usual Mumbai suburbs went under water.

Did set off in the afternoon, but plans got cancelled and I came right back

Also spent a good deal of the morning and afternoon cleaning up my computer stuff. Threw away around a 100 CDs!

Went for the 6pm mass. We were singing. And now, I’m watching WWE: The Great American Bash

Gonna make sure I don’t stay up too late tonight. Tomorrow I begin my last week as work. Am actually waiting for Friday
