I distinctly remember my class X english teacher emphasizing the importance of a caption. She repeatedly drilled it into our heads that a caption should be short and eye-catching. I must say she would be proud if she saw the title of my post today-short and eye catching obviously (why else would the news channels use it??), even though it is not connected to this post, but then, who cares?
But I have news. I am now, the proud owner of...wait for it...( I need to get over these barneyisms), a brand new, ladies BICYCLE. Yes, I know my previous post was all about the tough times I spend on the cycle. And my gracious employers have given me a Ms. India bicycle, which is a shocking pink in colour. Now I am not a pink person, but then give me a ladies cycles any day over those big, crossbar-ed atlas thingys. I have made peace with the colour, but some of my colleagues have not. They vehemently opposed the colour, ridiculed it and came up with innovative jokes. But then, they are the ones now borrowing these cycles, cause who would walk when you could pedal your way with a basket in front.:)
Gujarat celebrated Uttarayan or sankranti (for the less informed) with a great deal of zeal. Kites were flown all over the city and cries of "Kai poche"-the kite has been cut, (again for the less informed), resounded the streets. The Gujarat government took steps to ban the sale of chinese manja (the thread for flying kites), which is very dangerous. This manja, is apparently much sharper than the indian one and is also cheaper. One victim of this manja was my internet cable connection and I was rudely pulled away from my blogs and facebook, but now I am back. (Yipee)
For the interested, I am also upto a number of new things. I have just started reading the adventures of Asterix and Obelix and I am already a die hard fan. Best comics ever. And I am finally watching Boston Legal. Who doesn't like Alan Shore?? I just wonder how do the women manage to look so impeccable even with such packed schedules. And the most important thing, I have started cooking. :) Yes, you all can applaud. Made paneer paranthas, aloo gobhi, aloo matar and pongal among many other things.
So as all the catching up from my side has been done, what's new on your side??
Tchao for now.:)
