Bad bad day!

Just got back from Mysore. Went to check on one of my uncles who is in very bad shape. It was very sad seeing him like that :( I wonder why people should suffer at all.

The train I took back from Mysore to Bangalore was pleasant except for it was late in arriving at Bangalore City and I was late in getting back home.

We finally tried Mugen (Indira Nagar, 100ft road) last night. Food was good, one take away was that in India if you see two chillies against a dish, its probably not a good idea to try it ;) We used to order five star rated spicy food (on a scale of spice ie) in the US and still feel itwas bland. Here we tried a 0 star and were surprised at how spicy it was ;) I loved it though. I am a spice person. Can take a lot of spice;)

Today was a bad, bad, B-A-D day at work. Some installation script screwed up and deleted my central script repository and although I could restore the ones already checked in from a server, I lost all local files. I finished some damage repair, I thanked god profusely for having made me save some of the more complicated files elsewhere and now I am slowly preparing myself to re-do at least a week's work. Can it get any worse? Its on days like this when I wonder if I should take my job seriously at all. Its too much stress ya. Damn! But I love my job so it can't be any other way. Too bad!

I did take some pictures of our apartment Ganapati, here they are..



Ohh and BTW, ever since we got married, we've had home-made Ganeshas for the festival (thanks to me being inspired by my good friend K who started it). I did the honours the last couple of years with modeling clay Ganeshas. This time we just went downstairs, got some all-natural clay and Subhash made this cute Ganesha. Ain't he talented? :D (Psst..observe the Moong Dal jewelery he is wearing and the black pepper eyes he has;) )

Hi Div, since you've had some recent experience evaluating houses, can you also write reviews about some builders and share any need to know information about buying a flat in Bengaluru. Thanks

Good Ganesha Divya..I also made Ganesha with Sculpey but I like the idea of the plate of laddos :-p. I am going to use that for next year!

Happy Ganesh Chathurthi!

Hi Divya -

I may have jinxed my job stuff in your post some weeks ago because something screwed up pretty badly at work yesterday and I was called in after work hours :-p. I don't mind working off hours but just the "mind racing, heart beating" couple of hours is just too nerve racking for me..whew...things got back into control BUT only after some damage :). Gotta see what Monday will bring for me!

@Luv2cook

Awww..so sorry about the work part. I know it happens. I get jinxed way too often when I say something nice has happened to me in my blog. Good luck for the next week :)

The Ganesha's best part was probably that we just went down and got some clay and made it. Last couple of years I remember poring over the different types of modeling clay @ Michael's. I guess sometimes less is better. Too much choice is difficult to handle ;)

What is Sculpey BTW?
