Day 30

Day 30 (2nd December)

We went to MTR for breakfast today. We parked our car 180 degrees away along the periphery of Lalbagh and strolled through the garden to reach the overflowing MTR. The wait wasn't too long. Since we were four, we could afford to order a variety of items and taste them. Pongal was easily the best, closely followed by Podi Dose. Finally filter coffee was served in porcelain cup and saucer and that left an unpleasant aftertaste.

Long, leisurely detour through the park to the car, soaking in the botanical ambiance.


Near the Bull temple, we experienced the curtain raiser of the annual groundnut fair, Kadalakai Parishe, starting tomorrow. We had to park the car more than a kilometer away and foot it to the temple, milling with thousands. Skipped DoddaGanapati temple because of the extraordinarily long queue. The Big Bull was an awesome sight and totally worth all the trouble. Bought some groundnuts on the way back. They were pathetic compared to what you get in Bharuch.



At Burma Burma, the waiting time was as much as it took us to finish our meal. There is one dish that I would strongly recommend - Ohno Khow Suey. It is a noodle dish served in coconut milk sauce. It was worth the long wait. Other items that we tried were strictly forgettable. 
It was a memorable but exhausting day.

Day 74

Day 74 (19 th October) I have a lot to write about today, but in no frame of mind to write now after watching visuals of the Amritsar train tragedy. Such mindless tragedies are waiting to happen across the country. We continue to treat human lives with utter callousness. A tragedy on a festive occasion is doubly disturbing.

Day 78

Day 78 (15th October) I had a lot on my plate today but returned home to a non-responsive computer. The frustration mounted as I kept attempting to revive it. Technical Support numbers were non-existent. And I had almost reconciled to replacing a crashed harddisk. But just few minutes before the computer has risen like a Phoenix. It is time to take the warnings seriously and do some proactive maintenance. 

Day 81

Day 81 (12th October) The class was more attentive than usual today. I am happy that my homework yesterday paid dividends. I am visiting my son in Bangalore, but already thinking about Monday's lecture.
