Are u the right person at the right place at the right time?

It has started pouring here heavily. Rains do give a feeling of romance but such heavy rains wash off all the to-do-in-this-rain love moments. Last Sunday’s newsppr supplement had awesome pics. To start off with, the main page had Madhuri n Penelope in almost full page pics for some new movie stuff. But, wht caught my attention was an apt Kerela State Tourism Dept’s ad which had a couple alongside the amazing backwaters in rain n the line was even more beautiful.
Sometimes, it needs water to rekindle the fire

Such is the beauty of rains even if I hate the water logged streets n vehicles which rush past splashing tht water when I forget my raincoat.

To enjoy the rains or this season, ppl here usually head towards Tamhini, Lonavala or Matheran. But, I don’t know whose brainchild it was (m sure he/she is a child with no brain) it has been decided to go to Ganpatipule. This place has a bad reputation of ppl dying in the waters coz even though it has one of the most attractive sea lines; it has probably seen the worst rage of sea. I tried to search how many deaths take place there annually but couldn’t get a count.** So in this rainfall we are going to be the right persons at the wrong place at a very very wrong time. We are leaving tonight around 11 n then will be back on Monday afternoon. Though we will be taking utmost care, pray for our safety :)

**While searching for the count I stumbled upon a pdf file which is actually an annual report for the yrs 04-05 of the Ministry of Defence. Annual report is a public property?? And the one, which has probably info on all testings carried out n warnings on security threats?? Definitely NOT! But, it has some amazing pics of Sukhoi n a plane formation (last page)

Da Vinci code lived upto my expectations but the role of Tom Hanks didn’t. I found the character of Silas more powerful in terms of acting n portrayal. The grp had both, ppl who had read the book n those who hadn’t. All those who didn’t read the book found it interesting, while others (me including) felt tht we were seeing the book come to life. It was almost page to page n word to word narration. So as Cheesy Termite said, it really gave life to the reader’s imagination.

Sean n Dave, I got hold of the 1st season of 24. Now, just have to take out time to watch it.

Since I had mentioned tht I will be telling ‘bout the testicles incident, here it goes. You can skip this portion if u want n jump directly to the comments section.

We guys keep on solving puzzles n crosswords here. A couple of weeks back when we were solving a crossword, the clue was ‘Organs which an ENT removes when a person has acute throat infection’. A colleague asked me wht it was n I thought he was kidding so I jokingly said testicles n pointed to a guy (who had a tonsillitis operation a few weeks back) to say tht he had his removed by surgery. Now, to my utter surprise this guy went n started typing testicles in the provided space. When the words exceeded the blocks, he gave it a thought n glared back at me suddenly remembering wht was meant to be typed there. But, I had thought he would go upto the other colleague n ask whether it hurts during removing testicles :D

Catch u all on Monday nite or next morning.. have a gr8 weekend n keep smiling.
