The Arbitest life update ever

  1. My TVS Victor, purchased in August 2004 finally crossed 10000 - today somewhere in Perungudi - near that Grundfos junction.
  2. The Shatabdi express evening train that leaves Chennai for Bangalore at 17.30 hrs on all days except Tuesdays is value for money. Infact it is the ultimate joy ride. The food served there is excellent - and that it is sumptuous is an understatement. It starts with a Frooty equivalent. Then some fresh sandwiches and samosas served with sauce. And then some good hot tea/ coffee. And if you were starting to get disappointed you were going to not be served dinner, this is Indian Railways afterall, At 8 p.m you get served a very filling dinner which has decent variety as well. (Rice, Channa, Cabbage poriyal, Chapathis, Salad, Curd, Paneer Butter Masala. Wow!). And I only had to spend 550 odd bucks against the possible 1500 + bucks if I had decided to fly. Makki missed travelling with me on 22.08.07 from Chennai to Bangalore.
  3. I am now one of those unfortunate souls who have watched 28 Weeks Later on a rainy night in a deserted Pseud Multiplex. KKKKK
  4. I have re-started Bowling in the alley, and averaged a healthy 137. That an alarming loss of form caused the 3 week hiatus makes the return to form even more delightful.
  5. Vasu-Seth movies must be banned from occupying all screens of a multi-theater complex, Even if the theatreplex is bang in the heart of a Vasu-seth-max area. Mukka and I raced through the traffic from the edge of TTK Road to Ega theatre to find "Partner" and "Heyy Baby" greeting us. KKKK again. We decided to drive back home and watch Chennai - 600028 instead. That I decided to say "I could do with one" to an imaginary voice over asking "Drinks" ala Daniel Balaji in Kaaka Kaaka was the clincher.

Such is Life. Arbit. And as a throwback to the days when we used to write proofs for geometrical axioms/ theorems, I finish this post with a - Hence the post.
