The new year that was.

Apparently today was a major major day. It was Tamil New Years day , Vishu (The mallu new year day) , Bihu (Assamese New Year) and Dr Ambedkars bday . With the result that there was enough food at home to make sure I worked from home. Well there was vada and paayaasam ( kheer for all ye Northies!) , then rice sambaar, rasam and curds . Not to forget the papad also made.

However the traffic was even more terrible, thought that with the firang masters enjoying Easter Weekend it would be cool on the roads but on the contrary got stuck in a traffic gridlock that ran for nearly 2-1/2 kms. This was a stretch that I usually zip around at 60-80 kph , today I did this in nearly 40 minutes. Terrrible. And why was this ? There was a procession. Whats this city going to ?

Now they have floodlit golf in the Pune golf course. What they forget is the fact that we have powercuts for 3 hours everyday while ppl can enjoy golf !
