Weekend in Bangalore |
Monday, October 22, 2007
This weekend was longer than usual. No, not hypothetically. Really it was. Friday the 19th was also a holiday, owing to the Durga Puja. Well, it doesn't feel like Durga Puja here in Bangalore. Back home in Bengal, Durga puja is the biggest event every year. But here, no trace of that except for some friends fasting for navaratri and Ayudh Puja at office. Well, I don't do fasting n Puja n all that. I don't believe in all these. It's not that I'm an atheist. It's just that I can't fathom these 'technique' of pleasing the gods. I mean, through-out the year you're doing sins, eating chicken, boozing, cursing god for your hardship; and suddenly during puja time - U become all saint, go veg and praising the god for their blessings. It's just like govt. officials' behavior during special inspection. Whom are we faking?
Anyways, I'm not here to give my judgment on religions. Lemme update you with some happenings of this weekend. Last week I'd seen Bourne Ultimatum. Was so much mesmerized by it that I started reading the next installment of the series Bourne Legacy immediately after that. Finished it this Saturday night and then found out that there's no food in the kitchen. I was so engrossed in reading the final chapters that I didn't take dinner and by the time I finished, it was past midnight. All shops closed and nothing in kitchen. That made me more hungry. :(

After thorough search of the kitchen - all I found was onions and tomato. What the hell...!! What do I do with these? But with nothing else at hand, that's what I used. Made something like a stew / soup of tomato and onion. Though it didn't look good - it tasted great. :$ Maybe because I was damn hungry. Learnt my lesson - always keep some provisions in kitchen - atleast one Maggie pack.

Ok, some more laughing stock for you. Last week we had a friendly mini 20-20 match with live commentary, own press coverage et al. :D The photographer was a little ameture and thanks to that, we got some really funny snaps. See two of them below. Click them to open in full size. Now, which one do you find more funny? Cast your opinion in the poll box.
