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. :)
Ghajini launch & Mom-dad's wedding anniversary - 25 Dec, 2008
The most awaited Indian film, another Aamir khan hysteria. Booking started a week earlier, I could see the mad rush, but thankfully I had the internet. :D You can beat technology, Anyways cutting the long story short; ticket was booked on Monday as a present to my mom-dad.
The day arrived; we reached early by about 15 mins. I expected the theater to be empty, but it was the other way round. There was Aamir's statue in the centre after the entrance. We could see the vogue of people of all ages clicking pictures with that statue. It was a treat to watch. :)
The screen in which it was filmed was jam packed. The movie was too good.. Not for the story but for the actors. For the story and for a better version please watch Memento.
The movie was long and the seats were bad. We returned back kind of exhausted and tired. Dinner back at home and then some time spent with my colony frnds.. That’s how I enjoyed my Christmas.. :D
That’s it for this day.. and its Christmas, So Merry Christmas to all.. :)
The memorable day of my life - Jan 04-05, 2009
Well I have given 2 dates because the day extended from evening 8pm to next morning 5am :)
Place: Pooja Joshi's place, Mahalaxmi
Occasion: A get-together of all childhood friends - a type of warm farewell to Pooja.
Source: Of course Pooja. It was her idea.
Attendees: Pooja, Mrudul, Mandar, Ketaki, Sujith, Nikhil, Vidhata, Vaibhav, Me :)
Start time of the event: Approx 8pm
End time: Cannot be defined, Memories still fresh
Events: Eating, photo sessions, card games, Monopoly game, some short naps, siddhi vinayak temple visit (i missed it, had to go to office) and lots of talking with some masala of jokes.
It all started when Pooja called up the day before and asked what time was feasible. Then on common consensus, the day was decided. Just had to meet to start it all.. Guests (we :D) started arriving by 8pm. Of course it took some time before we all could assemble, after all we are celebrities. By the time all came it was 10.30 and we all were dying of hunger. Pizza was ordered. By the time we could finish our dinner, a day was passed (I mean it was 12.30am) This is the time when all the fun started.
I can neither describe what was spoken out there by everybody nor can I describe the importance of the time spent. It was just awesome, overwhelming or all the synonyms attached with this word.The card games were funny, because Mandar was at his best during that time as I have seen him since school days. Sujit's expert comments were welcomed, except by girls.. :-P
It was just spoken words that were floating in the room all throughout the night, the d form of jokes, chit chatting about any non-sense thing in this world, cribbing about something else, etc...Then the moment came when all were a bit exhausted, some had a small nap. All got prepared to walk down to Siddhi Vinayak temple, except me and Vaibhav. Goodbye and Take cares were floating at 5.30 am in the morning. Vaibhav and I were ready in an hr to go to office.
That's it, the memorable day of my life. I know I haven't described anything, but won't you be doing the same thing. Because some things are never spoken, they are just felt by your heart :)
