Musings

I've been out in Soho for quite a few lunches with my classmates. Loved Busaba, Thai cuisine for really cheap. Have mentioned the Blue room before and discovered a new falafel joint.
More often than not, when the sun in out we sit in the sun discussing things in general.
I've also booked tickets to Palma in Spain. Really cheap on Ba , it's 64.90 pounds. I don't know how because it said the minimum fare was 33 pounds each way!!
Now, a problem for someone from the third world - a visa! I can't apply for them in India, one can't call the appointment no. from mobile phones, Bt landlines or Payphone. One wonder's aloud then - where can i call to make an appointment then to the strong German voice booming on the other side of the telephone, 'Welllll Madame, have you tried zee corner shoppe??? '

Have been on Skype a lot, with my friend Kuntal in Singapore. Every evening I'm home at four bored out of my senses thinking what should I do next and there he is in the same situation, just a few time zones apart. I help him find Thai restaurants that deliver food in Singapore, while he checks some silly bits about London out for me. What would one do without Google?

Technology is brilliant. In fact the other evening, I was chatting on the free internet phone with Andreas, (Italian guy i met in Hard rock cafe in Bombay) and he was asking where he could buy some ingredients to make a pasta. I suggested Big Bazaar in Phoenix Mills, only to spend the next 15 minutes talking to his driver in Hindi, 'Bhaiya tumko Tulsi Pipe Road mallum hai??'
Amazing this technology, that helps me give directions to someone from Italy, going shopping in Bombay all from the comfort of my little couch in Hammersmith.

Drinking lots of JD cola at Distillers last night, with Ankeeta who just missed a flight to Barcelona. Tonight it's hitting the crazy bylanes in East London. ShoreDitch is calling.
