Well, this week was the laziest ever. Week starting from Jan 26 to Feb 01. After the incident on Jan 26 (i have already narrated it in the previous post), Tuesday I went to doctor to find out what exactly has happened (Jan 26 was a Monday).. I knew the result beforehand, but got a confirmation at 11 that it was indeed a hairline fracture. Returned home dejected with the report and some medicines. Called my workplace to inform about my absence.
Day passed by with lots of pain. The next day the pain subsidized like the width of a hair, I mean same as it was on Tuesday. Called up workplace again to inform about my absence for the whole week. They took it pretty well considering the amount of work pending. But the question on front of me was how to spend the entire week sitting at home?.. Wednesday somehow managed to pass by, but before that I took 2 novels from Sameer.
The first one "If God was a Banker" was completed within a day (on Thursday). Excellent piece from Ravi Subramaniam. Narrating about the corporate culture and the boom of the Retail banking scenario in India with 2 IIM grads in picture. Well time went like a fly.
Friday was no different, completed another novel "5 Point someone" by Chetan Bhagat. Another master piece narrating the life story of 3 guys from IIT, their experiences to go against the IIT culture.
Saturday and Sunday was as usual. Nothing gr8. Time flew by my face like a wind. :)

Republic Day, Hair line fracture - Jan 26, 2009
Well to start off today is India's 59th Republic day. The day started with flag hoisting at 10 am. Then it was snacks time, idli sambar was served. After that there was sporting events, as it happens every year. I took part in the running race. The first qualifying round was good.. Came joint first.
Well the final race was not good for me, perhaps the title of this topic will give a more insight into this.. :)
Yes, in the final race I came joint second but at a price. The left hand which had a ligament problem, became even more severe, now with a hair line fracture. I won' describe it much, as I'm still in pain as I'm typing this post. But in short it was a painful day for me. :(
I wont forget this Republic day. That's it guys. Cia.
New Cell, Society day - Jan 25 2009
Finally I decided that today is the day when I change my cell phone after 2 and a half years. Of course I had decided it to be the latest Nokia phone on the block, 5800 Express music, a touch screen smart phone. Morning 11 I went fishing for the store which is offering it at the lowest price, The Mobile store, an Essar company. Picked up Sameer and Piyush and went away straight to the store. My family had kept a condition, dispose off the previoud cell before buying the new one. The Mobile store offered me 2800 for the previous cell, which was decent enough. But still Piyush insisted that we should check other store also. So went to Goregaon and checked out 3 more stores, but one among them offered 2700 for the previous cell, which was less. Do we decided to move back to the first store, meantime lalu called up and on the way back we picked him and returned back to the Mobile store. Happily payed by CC and returned back to our building.
Evening time was awesome, we had our society day. Some skits and dance events, in between some spiced up event by Amit Abhyankar. Finished the buffet dinner organized and then went to CCD for a coffee with the building friends along with a pan. :)
