Back in Bombay

…and i am glad to see that its raining…as it cools the city.

The trip to bay was full of…exciting times…let me explain…

Everything was fine till i goto Helsinki…thats where i found out that the flight to bay was delayed by 4 hours…then i meet an Indian…

who was studying medicine in Ukraine
according to him Ukrainian chicks are the best in the world
he had 15 girlfriends in 12 months…
he does not trust the “the best in the world” because they have sex with one person in the morning and another at night
he told me that i should speak in Hindi if i am “True India”

needless to say…i managed to find another more “Intelligent” person…a psychologist from Stavanger…

We waited for about 30 mins for the food counter only to be told that the food would take an hour to be prepared…nice…so we just grabbed a sandwich…at least they had Stongbow…

On the plane i was sitting next to a Latvian lady who liked Bollywood movies…

The steward managed to spill milk on my hands as he was serving breakfast…

The customs officer had a problem with me getting two cameras in to the country…luckily both the cameras were worn out…so it was all good..

Exciting times…

Got home to find out that the computer(my old one) had broken down…the technician bought it in the evening and was pretty close to being beaten up by yours truly for his complete lack of technical skills…

he told my dad that
the ram was broken
the gfx card was broken

i found out that
the ram was not broken
the gfx card was not broken

the only that was broken was the gfx drivers…if only people did their jobs…

Anyways…all this is forgotten once i eat the awesome food made my mom and spend time with my family and friends…

saturday…went to pub called OnToes…

oslo street shot…

with delta 400…

Had bought a roll of Delta 400…dont remember when or why…so just took a walk…this time i went to Majorstuen…on saturday and Karl Johan on sunday…

Have been watching Twin Peaks…which is quite good…which is not surprising as its by David Lynch…

BTW suri made a real cool entry in his blog…read it and you will realize how much better he is at words than me…

Today its sunny and cold…yes it is possible…

Listening to Marty Willson Piper…nice music…

We had a fire drill today…we dont have them in india…its all about issues and priorities…when you have so much other troubles…i dont think one can spend time and effort on fire drills…

I am not saying one is right and other is wrong…its just about different people with different issues…

People can be vegetarians when they have the luxury to choose…someone who cannot even make a living does not really care about chickens…as long as they get some kind of food on their plate they would be happy…

…think about that…

another chilled out entry…

Sketchcrawl…

hmm…has been quite a good week…

i went back to cooking at home…cleaned my apartment…

noticed that the sensor on the camera has become quite dusty…you will see the dust one quite a few frames in this update…will clean it today…

did you know…at one point years ago…i was close to joining a catering college to become a cook!!!…i love food…good food…but i ended up a programmer and now a lvl designer…crazy…

crazy how the smallest impulse changes your entire life…and come to think of it…as kids everyone wanted to be an engineer or doctor…naive…

humor is not quite humorous if one does not get it…its fun though when you meet people with the same sense of humor…you can give each other shit and its all cool…

i say this because my last update managed to offend someone…even though it was not meant to…different people with different minds…which invariably think differently…1+1 can be 2 or 11…

nuf text…lets move on to the pics
