Summer Summary

The last 72 days have been good for me in 5 ways (I have spent this summer at home!!!, and thought I must post an entry on the gains),
1. I got to gain a few inches around my already well rounded waist, thanks to some excellent food, cooked by amma and chefs who run some of Chennai's top hotels. I must have visited close to 30 different restaurants for lunch, and got to savor varied cuisines. Good on me, I must say... Well, the extra pounds...errr....IIMB and its mess shall take care of them...I hope;)
2. Quality time with Giri, BK, Rama, Vatsa, Sriram, Bharat, Nanba... et al. I have not got to spend this much time with these important people, for the last 3 years now. BK making his one month trip coincide with my summers, and giri flying down twice, have been great blessings, and the booze sessions with Raama, Sriram and Vatsa have been wonderful fun - I dint miss Bangalore all that much;).
3. Mallu Music - Well, this has to be the best thing that's happened to me in the last few months, this gives me enough belief that, there are bound to be blissful nights of solitude in Bangalore in the year to come...
4. Movies - Thanks to Raama, my IMDB movie count has gone up by 200% and thanks to Satyam cinemas - my tryst with movie theatres have been renewed. So what if I watched some crappy movies?
5. No sales in life!!!! - Summers at Microsoft taught me this gospel truth.

I am packing my bags and proceeding to Bangalore in less than 18 hrs. Wish me luck for what should be a good year, in terms of fun and learning.
