Long weekend

Friday - Bloggers party
------------------------
Good that MBA Cutie arranged for the party as the names are still not attached to the blognames, had to use blog names and the Spice Market people are scratching their head about what I am talking about, then told them any Bloggers around and he told me to go downstairs. I said good that MBA Cutie arranged coz if it is MBA Jackass(no offence please) then they would remove MBA and then take the other part and throw me out of the Market :d before the party started.

Everyone introduced by thier real names, but we quickly want to know the blognames as those are more familiar that the real names.

Then usual chatting about anything and everything. youngin talk, tours. Then we went to the going away party of MBAFormein08's friend. Then slowly one-by-one left.

Overall its a good party.

Saturday
---------
Went to Saravanaas( Saravana bhavan in NYC). Had to wait for more than an hour to get in. Food was good but mini idlis(famous in this place) are over by that time. A little disappointed but rest of the stuff are good.

Easter Day
-----------
Called people out there in India and wished them. Then mails, calling junta in US etc. Prepared food after a long time - Mutton Biryani and Chicken curry. Came out well. Invited a friend, he is busy, so had to eat all alone. Went to "V for Vendetta" movie in IMAX. It was ok but not great. May be should have gone to "Inside Man" but guess that will be next week plan.

I had big plans to study but didn't even touched any book. Guess that happens more often than I wanted.

Plans for this week
-------------------
- Attend Stern info session.
- Complete a whole lot of work in office. Intial plan was to go live when I am in India, but guess my boss dont want me to miss the fun(read it as late night work/calls/and lot of hungama), so postponed to the end of the month. So I wont miss the music.
- Shopping - had to do a lot of stuff atleast for my sis.
- Cheer for India - we are going to win against Pakistan - cricket.
- Hope/pray that Schumi can be better than what he is doing now.
- Lakers are in Playoffs - atleast they are doing better than what they did last year. Hope they stay at 7th spot and play against Suns rather than get down to 8th and play against Spurs.

Happy Birthday, Dear Me!

Birthday always reminds me a lot of happy moments

School - Just before the bday will do a lot of shopping, less for me and more for my sis(her bday is on 9th Apr). Then cakes, choclates .... In school, we should stand in front of the class/assembly and everyone will sing the bday song. If I remember correctly our school had 5 people, who celebrated bday on this day. Then evening calling some friends to home and then PARTY(first at home and then will go out)!!!!

College - Its a differnt story altogether. We have BUMS tradition and my wing(only my wing) adds SPANKS(even more terrible) to that. After that its hard to sit for sometime and sometimes hard to stand straight. Evening will be party time with lots of food and drinks.

Work(India) - This is where the party extends for more than a day. A party with close friends in office, then with roomies and then with other friends. Office friends - 6 of us, for each bday party, we used to choose one place in Bangalore. Roomies - either in house or pub or dhaba.

Work (US) - No friends close by and last year I told my roomie in my company accomodation(came here recently at that time), that its my bday and took him to dinner. One of my close friend's fly stays in Mas, and went there in the weekend and took them to dinner and then to a TAMIL movie. Ofcourse the good thing is, its Rajani Kanth movie. (Tamil in caps coz I am not from Tamilnadu and no roots absolutely in that place.) Whatever Tamil I can understand is coz of this guy and others in my office. I spent good 4 years in Chennai(undergrad), but I picked up very little tamil.

I think this year the party will start with the Blogger's meet.
