Dear all,
so tomorrow is kuny baby (jigna's) birthday - guess everyone at Bangalore are eager to celebrate her first birthday - dekhu dekhu 1 year palei gala! nani - mora jou party miss houchi seita tu aau mu aau thare celebrate kariba, ok? bhala jaga re khai jiba - our usual pact.
well - i spent the past weekend looking around places near to where I stay currently - one was Darling Harbour - and the other was Bondi beach. Bondi beach is world famous (or so I have heard). However by the time we went - it was getting dark - and since it is winter time here - not too many people were there in the beach. Quite a few of them were surfing - it is a popular sport here. Not much to describe about the place - except that it is semi-circular - and a very clean beach. Relax - this wasn't a nude beach :) As you would expect, the beach is dotted with resorts/apartments/eateries - all of which are pretty expensive. We strolled the beach for about 15 minutes and then had a look at the shops before heading back. Maybe if it gets sunnier sometime later, I might want to take a bath at the beach.
Darling Harbour is very much the area I live in currently. We walked to the place - crossing a Fish Market. There were lovely sea-food items on display - and since most of it was frozen, there wasn't much foul smell. I got attracted to huge prawns/lobsters/crabs. Once my accomodation gets finalized, I will bring home a few things and cook - to hell with my veg manager!! We have anyway started bringing eggs and cooked non-veg items :)
After the fish market area - we went to the Darling Harbour area. It had a maritime museum - whose entry was free. Went in there and had a look at old Australian navy stories. Missed out on the aquarium in the area (have heard it is very good) - thanks to the unenthusiastic group that I am with. But I will make sure I go out there sometime in this visit. At the end of it, went to a mall called Star City. There was a casino in it - but then there were dressing restrictions - and all of us were not dressed appropriately enough. Even a jeans with shoes would have been ok - but I was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt - so could not check the casino.
We also bought some Indian grocery from a nearby area (as in 3-4 kms away - so all in walking) - the south indian morons live only on rice - so all they wanted to bring was rice (10 kgs of it - imagine!)....and ready-to-eat curries (none of them can cook). I bought some ginger garlic paste, and a curry powder.
That's about it now - we are looking for accomodations (preferably for longer duration) - but getting one is not easy (especially with what facilities these guys want). They cannot adjust to community kitchen, or shared bathrooms. That hikes the costs - and also makes availability an issue.
Work is not very amusing as of now - there is no pure Business Analyst work in here. I am doing things which I can - but if things get too technical - like designing/coding things, I might decline doing it. One - it will be difficult for me since I have lost touch of these things, two - I haven't done my MBA for nothing, it is a coder/designer's job! Even if it means coming back soon - I am more than happy with it. I am missing home already :(
and yeah - I sleep late and wake up late - no more acting as an alarm for the manager - it is he who gets annoyed when i switch on the lights late at night :)
I watch some TV till late (around midnight)...
Ok - enjoy the birthday and the subsequent party!Give lots of gela to kuni baby.
Regards,
