Goings-on

Busy week at work. Reaching early and leaving late sucks, but there's no other way, is there?

It's been a pensive week what with Kuppu having returned & Baishaly's departure imminent. I have to learn to let go of baggage.

A lot of goings-on on the family and relatives side as well, but that's the subject of another post.

Salil has returned to Jampot for good, Soumya won't be back from Bombay before October & Pritish will be in Dubai indefinitely. Rakesh left for the US, Seth is in Korea and Prav completed a year in Texas this month. It's probably God's way of telling me to get the hell out of this city too.

The IPL - well, Kolkata flattered to deceive. Delhi are holding on to hope against Mumbai while Chennai are bent upon making things difficult for themselves. It's been a month of fascinating entertainment. Come back in the evenings just in time to catch a match which finishes just as it's time to crash for the day. The fact that any big movie hasn't released since the IPL's advent tells a story. TV ratings for other programs have taken a beating too.

Talking of TV, Roadies 5.0 got over yesterday. Rumours circulating on Orkut had conjectured about a victory for Ashutosh, and that is how it turned out. This year's edition wasn't very appealing somehow, probably cause the girls had been selected for looks rather than smarts. The guys would sometimes match them on the dumbness stakes though. It will remain a mystery how somebody like Nihal managed to reach the final 2. Probably because he struck up a friendship with the very shaayna Ashutosh.

Get ready for the next season of the assorted bunch of singing-talent-unearthing programs now.
