Fast July

Life has been pretty fast paced all this month.

Firstly the trip down south to meet friends.

Hyderabad was good fun. Lots of old friends had moved there over the years and it was cool to meet them after such a long time. Surprisingly , most of em are married now so it wasnt like old times but ya it was more of matrured ( lol ) adults meeting up for a get together ( hehe )
I enjoyed the city a lot , the feel of old traditional town reminded of me my hometown , Aligarh in UP.
Saw Ramoji filmcity on the outskirts , one huge place ... the fun part was biking all the way there as its quite far from central town. Also saw the Golconda Fort , Birla Mandir ( beautiful ) , Charminar , Nizam's Palace n Museum ( awesome place ) n some other places. Loved the food and wont forget the 'Chai' at Hasnain cafe ... too good.

Only sad part was the day i reached Hyderabad , the same day the bomb blasts happened. Had i postponed my trip by just 1 day , i might have been in the one of those ill fated trains returning home. Well , it wasnt my time so thats about it i guess , trully sad event... After i returned to mumbai and started travelled to office , i could see that the people in the trains were pretty much muted during the entire journeys . No longer you would hear loud conversations of people in , the fast paced hustle bustle of people getting in and getting out from the compartments , the set of people whom i would meet regularly in the train ... some of em i dont see since the incident. It was truly sad what happened but as they say .. Life goes on with or without some...

From Hyderabad to Bangalore for 2 days , the place reminds of Mumbai more so now than ever before. It rained quite a lot while i was there ... Nothing much to say about the place , its cold , cool and all that.

After coming back to mumbai , shortly later on had to go to Singapore ( annual client meet ) with my cousin bro this time. It was quite hot this time and 2 days there was like one whole week cause i had to attend like 4 meetings in 2 days at different ends of the country lol . Cant complain much cause you are doing business with international clients :D
Ventured out this time to see a lot of places i had missed last time , Hard Rock Cafe was cool and the area around that is definitely a cool place. The metro MRT system is really impressive and its a breeze travelling in them.

In between somewhere Mr Pagalguy left for Wharton to spread his insaness there :D
Everything happened so fast with people coming in town and leaving at different times and me leaving , it was crazy in the end but definitely cool of all of us meeting up ... All the best with everything and NASEOH will go on ... and the OnToes treat will definitely be remembered :D

Saw Omkara ... Nice movie but not all that as people are saying. Sure , compared to what Bollywood churns out every week , its worth watching one time for the story adaptation and the setting has been nicely potrayed . Better than english Version 'O'.

Back to work like always , jeez im missing my vacation time already :D
Hopefully i get time to eat mushrooms and chase white rabbits ;)
