Gandhi Jayanti - 2nd October

Hey All,

I am here with my first post. The celebrations of Gandhi Jayanti started on 1st Ocotber evening only. After all we were getting a holiday on 2nd from office. "Kidnap" and "Drona" got released on 2nd. I was interested in watching Kidnap but again lack of company did me in. The review says the movie sucks but it does have "Minissha" in it. So there is something to watch for after all. And with all the crap movies these days "Kidnap" surely promised a lot.
The days started at 6.30 AM (Yep.. Yawn). Everyone got ready for a game of Cricket at the Symphony grounds on outer ring road. A nice place tucked in between Cisco and Syphony services. Game started at 7.30 and i managed a decent contribution with Bat and in field in both the games. We lost hell lot of time in finding out balls from shrubs, but the whole session was enjoyable. I need to work on my bowling. Still not comfortable with it.
Came back, had heavy breakfast and slept off for couple of hours. Every bit of the body was paining. what the hell, i enjoyed it.
Watched couple of movies on Gandhi Ji in evening and then went out looking for 400+ Litre Fridges. Man, things costs a bomb these days. U want a good fridge, shell out Rs 25K. Akshay Ji and his wife came in evening. The day was supposed to be a dry day but was lightened up by "Green Label". Alas, the bottle is over and mausi's threat of putting it in drain really dont exist now.
At 9, went to Mcdonald's to have some burgers. The tech park nearby has a great hang out place. Plenty of eating/drinking options there. While entering the park, saw in big bold letter words stating "Ernst & Young". ooh... Wow the consultancy giant is here. Went inside and people started ordering food.
Wait a minute, i see lot of people with their office badges and in formal attire. Seems surprising, after all i was in T-Shirt, Shorts and slippers. Look closly, oh my God, all of them from the same company. Ya u guessed it right, the Consultancy Major, "Ernst&Young". But wasnt this supposed to be a national holiday, that too 10 PM in night. Life can't screw you any better. Ya, these people have all the money. But do they have the time to spend it? Thanks God, I am not one of the employees there. GE zindabad!!!!
Also had a tiff off with the security officer at the eatery. Says you cant join the tables. Come on dude, you need not upset your customers over these silly issues. Get some CRM system installed to retain us.
We came back. Loaded with Burgers, French Fries, Potato Wedges and Cold Drinks. Man, too full. off to internet and then to sleep. And Ya Shweta Gulati ( Tia of Erstwhile Remix) has made an entry into Dill Mil Gaye. That should be an interesting watch.

Adieus,
Manish
