What did you do with yours?

The rains arrived last week. the guest was expected, but not so soon. Normally i'm like the million other rain lovers but this time our meeting didn't have a great start. I harbour a big grudge against the rains for burning a considerable hole in my pocket. Trying to get my non-waterproof cell phones fixed, buying shoes and a raincoat are not exactly my idea of fun. Especially since every exercise of trying to determine the speed at which my money is flowing out is extremely depressing.
The rains are much more fun if you're at home sipping cups of hot coffee and getting under the warm covers to watch a movie.
I think the memory of walking from churchgate to vt in the pouring rain would've been a pleasanter one if only for my cell phone/s. Being bereft of a phone sucks :(.
Two hours of the Sunday evening were spent rather happily reading up/flipping through some books at the Crossword store at Hiranandani Complex thats a minimum-auto-fare distance away from campus. The complex itself is magnificent. The architecture is very prominently Gothic and you may forget that you're still in the country whilst surrounded by these beautiful buildings. There are open piazza like spaces with eateries and shops along the periphery. Families, kids, couples, old men/women form the happy crowd. This is a different India.
A lot of thought processing went into that quiet evening.
And to sign off i must congratulate thomas my dear pal, who's a dearer pal since he's now richer by $5000. Yes google is paying him that much for a project he's working on... something to do with architecture and space and stuff... i've never figured out this guy. He's as weird as they make them.
