This was one of the best weekends for me in Bangalore. Ya, my Big Bro was here for a short visit before joining HPCL in Ranchi. He reached at around half an hour after Friday midnight.

Saturday was primarily a rest day as we slept as ususal in the morning hours. BigB continued it till 5 in the evening. After that, we went to Forum where the Paper Dance organized by Scholl was was the centre of attraction for more than half an hour. The group which danced properly was the group which got eliminated just before the runner-ups did. And the winners were the worst dancers. Prize money - two scholl creams for each of the partner; worth Rs 50 for the runner-up and double that amount for the winners. It was followed by our dinner at Dominos. The girl at the counter made more than three attempts to count my sodexhos. I have to take back Rs 50 note and give her a change of Re 1 to convince her the correct count.

Sunday was the tour day. We went to Iskcon in the morning. Its a nice place to give a visit to. As usual, we cameras and mobile phones were not allowed inside the premises. The cool wind blowing around tried its best to stop us there. Finally, we overcame the temptation and went to Lalbagh in our way back. I had expected the botanical garden to be better maintained. The lack of water in the sprinklers and lotus pond did nothing to meet the expectation as did the Rose Garden. Had it not been due to the the pics in the map, we wouldn't have had any clue about the glass house, band stand and the dove cot. Atleast, it ended positively with the old tree fossil before the air breeze near the birdless lake almost stopped our feet to move. The moments of smile came when one of the monkeys drank thumpsup directly from a bottle and another gave a couple of nice poses when ts pics were taken.

Today Abhishek is coming home. Looking forward to have a great chat.

Humor - A beautiful "Mallu" female( from the heart of Kerala) went for a job interview for the post of a SECRETARY and also said she is good at english. When the manager saw the Mallu's colorful attire, gold, well oiled uncombed jet black hair, his mind was screaming "NOT THIS WOMAN".
Nevertheless, he still had to entertain the Mallu. So he told her "If you could form a sentence using the words that I give you, then maybe I will give you a chance! The words are GREEN, PINK, YELLOW, BLUE, WHITE, PURPLE and BLACK".
The enthusiastic Mallu lady thought for a while and said :
"I hear the phone GREEN GREEN GREEN, then I go and PINK up the phone, I say YELLOW....BLUE'S that? WHITE did you say? Aiye, wrong number....Don't PURPLELY disturb people and don't call BLACK, ok? Thank You."
The Manager fainted........
Decision - Will drink water before brushing tomorrow (inspired by Madhav's mail)
Quote - Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be spirit of tolerance in the entire population
