Its cool in Pune

Got down at Shivajinagar yest morning and saw the temperature at the weather office. Minimum is 6.3 deg. C. Man that's cold. Winter at its peak in Pune. Riding a motorcycle can be real fun :-) in this weather, especially when you don't have protection for your ears and hands.
Then beating the chill by sipping a cutting chai at the typical pune tea shops called 'amrutatulya' ( meaning 'elixir') and an occasional cigarette.

Now is the right time to go on a weekend trek... Now is the time...

Thursday. Home early today

It was a rather lazy day today, with not much work to do. That damned amd 64 bit box... glibc gives me a corrupt doubly linked list error when i try to malloc. Somebody screwed up something real bad. Was browsing the net today afternoon. Saw a cool set of Bose speakers. Ought to buy them sometime. I had heard Bose at the Jordan mall on route 9 Framingham. Awesome stuff. The lifestyle audio system from Bose is real drool maal.

Folks at office are enjoying a festival of fun and games. It's purposefully held in December, since most of the clients are on vacation.

A couple of my group folks came over to my desk today evening. They wanted me to participate in dumb c.. boring stuff. Don't feel like doing all that nowadays. Don't know why? This year I won't take a stall in the fete either.

I was glued to the headphones all day. First Phil Collins, then Richard Marx.
Phil's songs have some great orchestration. True Colors, Father to Son, Colors.
Right here waiting for you... soothing music.

Its kinda chilly here today. Typical december evening in Pune. I am drinking tea while I write this. It's Friday tomorrow. Shraddha's gonna be in town. Should be a good time.

Boring wednesday afternoon...

Adya got married on the 3rd. Yogesh and Mamata were here from hyderabad. Gotya was all charged up to go to copenhagen for a week. Must be really cold up there. Met mahya. He's getting married some time soon. Nilu was cool as usual... enjoying his life and getting teased about sleeping in the afternoons... :-) Jezz made a roaring entry... and late as usual :-). We asked him if he got his wallet along... We got a card for Adya... And wrote stuff on it with a 'slant' and indentation, to honour his notebook writing style during BCS days at M.D's math class...
Had a good time.

Then the next day we met again at yogesh's place. Had lots of bedekar misal and had kondalkar's mastani for dessert. It was good fun.

Hmmm.. boring wednesday afternoon. Just finished a set of checkins... 2 more to go on my plate..Don't feel like working today. Want to laze around in the afternoon sun, sipping a cup of coffee and some good music... n have a chat with shraddha.
dunno about a chance to do that soon..
