The Big Bad Boss of Bhandup is coming back to Mumbai.. and he's getting Damien with him:-)
Luia should be reaching Mumbai anytime soon now - he's driving all the way from Goa in his jalopy i.e. maruti van alongwith stuff and a dog. The last time i drove that vehicle - doors were spoilt, wipers weren't working and less said about the headlights, the better. It's really commendable how Luia still manages to drive that.
Can you believe he once got caught in Mulund for Speeding!!!!!!
The Malad house is getting ready day by day. .. Got all appliances also now.. so that is cool. The weather in Mumbai sucks man.. its so freaking hot during the day and cold during the night.. should be opposite..grrrrrrr
Can't wait to see the Mahabarat between Damien and Pepito Snowflakes.. though all are of the opinion that Damien will not even be concerned about the cat. My only grouse is that I will have to take the dog down for walks. Though scaring the hell out of the building crazy dog will be a consolation.
Anyway thats all till now.. real busy at work.
Cheers

The Weekend
Wow.. its been three days since the weekend and it feels like nothing has been done at all!!
We had a full-on weekend.. I just don't know how time flew. Saturday went in completing the tasks on my "list" and sooner than I knew - It was time to leave for Ulhasnagar to my good friend "Dinesh's" house for a visit. We reached there at around 11.30pm and sat a while chitchatting before the saturday night bug eventually reared its lovely head ;-)
Dinesh took Tony and me out for a quick dinner of chinese and beverages which we relished.. I still love places like Ulhasnagar and Vasai where you get good stuff for the proper rates.. unlike Bombay where everyone only pay for "god knows what".
The next day we got up early at 8.30am for a trip to our farmland at Karjat. It was a relaxing drive with awesome weather and good roads. Our properly looks wonderful with so much greenery and the farmer couple are already busy weeding out shrubs and preparing the land for trees etc. This place really looks wonderful and all credit for my mom for painstakingly investing and following its progress!!
We also had the good luck of going to Hariharan's (Colonial Cousin's singer) farmhouse. Boy - its huge and has got almost everything. Coconut plantation, swimming pool, huge house with gigantic glass doors (around 15 feet high) which make the place awesome and beautiful surroundings. Not to forget the 10 feet wide stream that flows just outside his property.. It will be around 3-4 feet deep so you can literally just enter it anytime.. like a private river.
On our way back, we were searching for a lunch place right from Karjat to Airoli and finally settled for Sadhna Again (The Sports Bar section) since the asia cup finally was on. The famous prawns koliwada was rubbish (Big prawns with no taste) - Maybe the night cook is different. Checked out our under-construction office too - development is going good - interiors are remaining and should be complete by October - inshallah.
All pictures are on my phone and I'll upload them asap when i get the time.
Been really busy otherwise - Went to Amanda's dad house on Monday for dinner.. had a nice time. Also went to Dad's house at Kandivali on Tuesday for dinner.. I always love the food there.. the beef especially was great.
Anyway I'll sign off now.. please look back for pictures.
Cheers!

The Week is almost over
The week is almost over and the weekend is at hand. I just can't seem to stress enough on LISTS!! I've got a couple of small papers which have a list of all jobs on hand and I must say that it has made the week so much more organised!
Everything from fixing a phone to setting up an Indyarocks account - all was listed and got promptly erased as the task was completed.
Mom and I are off to Karjat over the weekend to oversee the Farm House work. I'm so glad Mom has decided to get this thing started.. and I've pledged full weekend support towards it.. What better way to spend alternate weekends away from the hustle-bustle of Mumbai :-D
Amanda is doing good in Australia.. settling down. I too have to get started on my paper-work for OZ.. will do that soon enough.
BTW - I started my gym and have gone for all days since I started - but sadly Mom hasn't started her walks (Everyone who has her number, take a minute off and call her and get her to start her walks.)
Rest all is good.. Office is cool, have a great Mentor and good colleagues - hope the same continues in all other offices I work in or run :-D
Till my next post - cheers!

The Gym has begun
Mom finally gave up on her Gym Plans for the year. Now states that she will do walking (churchgate to Charni rd) BEST OF LUCK with that - it'll be good for us both :-D
Good for me since I got the membership transferred to me. Checked out the Gym - Spirit Gym (was a lot smaller than People's Gym) - but as ppl say (size doesn't matter)
Hopefully I can get to the gym today (Since it's Wizi aunty's b'day tonight - talk about distractions) Can't depend on the rains too.. But i will try my best - sat down and made a gym clothes drawer too also last night.
Other than than, nothing much going on. Also Ramona Aunty's (Caroline's Mom) b'day today so made it a point to wish her.
So hopefully mom and me are on the way to good health with her walking and my gyming..
Byeee

Goa - Dec 07
Had an awesome Goa trip this december. Amanda, Cynthia, Clive, Deepak, Dharmesh, Sunny and me headed out to Goa on the 28th night. As usual, we got a rubbish car and driver but the trip made up for that hiccup. We stayed at Maneddie's porvorim flat (thanks you uncle once again) - and partied at baga for all the nights. The time really flew by but we did have a lot of fun.
The partying at Tito's and Mambo's were courtesy of my dad... and the last day shower after the beach was all thanks to Mandy :-D
It was Dharmesh's first time in Goa and he had a blast. Deepak was his usual funny self.. Clive was the cashier - making sure we didn't have money on one night - ass ;-)
Cynthia was the baccha of the group - we really enjoyed her company and Sunny was our contact man for goa locals and the driver. (less said about the driver - the better) Amanda and me had a great time too and looking forward to a goa trip real soon.
It was a pleasant experience - the food was delicious and the Feni was divine!!! Can't wait to make our next trip there.

Back to Work
Clive and me decided to go the 9 to 5 way for work now. The whole flexitime was anti-productive - we didn't work at home and neither got time in office. We've just started this method a few days ago - getting up at 9 and getting ready is the biggest problem so far - but i guess once mom gets back and mandy too has a job, then that should get easy.
The best part about this is that we have the whole evening free. Clive can do his tennis and I can finish off my gym. This will still leave us with ample time for family and friends and movies.
Now that Goa is over - it's time for some serious work. We'v got a new project lined up and i'm too busy with work among other things. So lets hope it all goes well. 2008 seems to be a good year - am looking forward to it!!!

Rain Rain, Go Away!!
Got my first Rain blues today. Had already been absent from work for 3 days and there was no way in hell that I could afford another bunk. Mom and me were waiting for the rain to get slow but to no avail. We headed out the station, missed a train, took two hrs to reach Churchgate from Borivali.. but have finally reached office now!
Mandy has reached Melbourne too at around 9am today. Will contact her soon.. Got to get started on my paperwork too now.
Had a good couple of weeks with Amanda.. stayed at the Intercontinental The Grand and drank for FREE at China House.
Got to kill the cat!! He has scratched my shoes now... uurrrgghh. Got a busy week ahead and will try and keep all of it recorded here..
Bye for now.. Rain - just kidding - don't go away!!

Welcome Back
Hii there,
Aahhhhh.. It feels great to be back online. So much has happened since January 2008!!!
Febuary was uneventful... the usual life. I did thoroughly enjoy Valentine's Day.. Went with Mandy to Dahanu, great MTDC Bungalows almost on the beach.
March was eventful.. I started working at Chaturvedi and Shah, the CA firm for Reliance :-D. This was due to my future plans to go study in Australia. This was due to my futurer plans to join Amanda there - hahaha
April was good.. quite a few b'days. Been busy with work and all. Clive left for New Zealand in May.. Mrugesh took over the Cricket Sites.. and I got busy with work and Amanda (All's good that goes well)
And now it's JUNE!! The rains are here, Amanda is in Dubai enjoying a holiday in a kick-ass villa with her bro and family. I watched the Portugal-Czech game last night with Reinaldo (My portuguese friend from Lisbon).. had a great time - lovely match and good company.
There are quite a few new pics that I need to upload here. will start when I get settled at home. Till then chao and have a nice rainy day.
