Alone...

Well Well!!! It has happened finally. Shelly has got a break from Dubai and is in India travelling trying o relax (so to say!). She left for a few days which got extended into a full week now. I happy not only because she is getting to meet folks but also because I am not the only one who always changes and alters travel plans.....Now she has joined the league.

Anyways the thing is that I watched most of the cricket alone (I do that even when shelly is around..although with a lot of distraction) without distraction which I surely missed. Days have been wearier than before and I am looking forward to the weekend when she is back.

Dubai Jinx

I have actually been thinking whether Dubai is astrnomically( my spelling is as staggery as my belief in it!!!) good for me. I mean I have been down sick with something or the other with consistency for the last 6-8 months. Something keeps adding up to the medical history every now and then. For goodness sake! Is this the only place where I have to make a record. Why couldnt I run the fastest in olympics (Huh!!! with the extra pounds). Anyways getting back to ailments- I am now having a bad throat infection. Have been taking antibiotics regularly for the first time but it doesnt seem to work. Guess order is not my cup of tea (Shelly would agree to that and bet on it!). By the way it is real bad and I am even doing the salt gargles besides the 7 day antibiotics course. I cant even shout anymore....even at myself. On top of it...Ramadan is on and it becomes difficult managing the fasts. I just hope I am able to pull through.

Ponte Vecchio in Kashmir

I came across this photograph on the net which is similar (in make only!) to the famous PonteVecchio of Florence. Coincidently I happen to have a photograph of me and Shelly on the bridge. There is a striking similarity between both in terms of the basic structure. The kashmiri version is an old bridge called "Saraf Kadal"-Kadal meaning a bridge in kashmiri.

Time flies

The week turned around very slowly but the weekend was quick. friday was spent on Shelly's office work and I wasted Saturday on mine....Nevertheless it was a nice weekend and Dhamaal- the movie turned out to be surprisingly refreshing. A plain, effortless movie made even the 2nd and 3rd row watching painless.

I think I need a day to cover up for my sleep before I get insomnia ( I think I am getting closer)....Help me lord!!!

I just hope the coming week is good with some surprises.....we have a long Ramadan month approaching. It sounds like an event...I am looking forward to it...Some how Dubai gets exciting around this time.

Thank you note for Jit

There are going tobe some additions in the page some old pictures from 2005 ( correct me jit if I am wrong). All thanks to Abhijit for letting me have those. I lost mine to an unfortunate Hard disk crash last year.

I am still waiting for Ruksh to send me some and I know he sure is sitting on a pile. Multiple requests have already gone to him. Anyways...Cheers Abhijit!!!!!.....

Lazy weekend

Well Well! The weekend is finally over. A lazy weekend spent mostly at home singing songs and playin dunb charade with Amit and Nitika. It was Nitika's birthday by the way but Amit was down with fever...so things were cool. Lot of late night chats but no work on mind (so says Shelly). We did manage to catch a movie- "No Reservations" about a Chef and her balance in life. That did bring up lot of proposals for me opening up a restaurant as I happen to have a passison for cooking.

Anyways....we also managed to squeeze a dinner out on kababs with Rajiv and Nisha which was good. For the coming week, the resolve is to keep outside food on back burner and ty and eat healthy. Lets see how we honour that resolve.....
