It's cold, and is dotted with drizzles, and induces only i-want-to-sleep/i-want-random-french-window-to-stare-out-of feelings. Especially when one is at work.<BR/><BR/>Everyone looks like they're in New York. And somewhere in the head, light carols play. The traffic, despite being terrible, doesn't bother. The chill finds you out, under so many layers of clothing, and lingers as the blue nails.<BR/><BR/>However, this time's tragedies include the lack of an artist's walkway altogether. So, when one sits upstairs at India Coffee House and looks outside the window, one sees a creamy mess.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.

The budday is on the 18th. Would have loved your august presence at the occasion, except for the fact that (a) It's not August (b) Im turning too old to be seen in decent company and therefore (c) I would prefer your presence in the form of presents only (kidding :))<BR/><BR/>Mo: Me too. Havent been there since 1999. Loser no I am?<BR/><BR/>pryatsu: Thyanksu. Eat off avrekai quickly. Everyone's doing it so your.. well.. acoustics.. will pass unnoticed!<BR/><BR/>fark: thanks :)<BR/><BR/>sav: Please send a pic across if you get a good one. Im going to plant a series of tabebuias in my garden this year, one for each season.<BR/><BR/>poojitha: Muttai illaadha cake is like paruppu illadha kalyaanam :(<BR/><BR/>rads: Yep I get around to it sometimes. My mother's bisibele bath serving was highly spur-of-the-moment the first time. But when she saw how much the carollers appreciated it after eating cake all evening, she decided to make it a custom.<BR/><BR/>sujatha: yes unfortunately the MG road promenade which was the earlier venue for the walkway is history. It has now been moved to the equally charming Edward V octagon in Cubbon park (near Minsk Square), about a km away. it's now an artists' roundabout. The bigger one is in the Chitra Kala Parishad. Do go, its beautiful.<BR/><BR/>rekha: Laziness and savoir-faire is Bangalore's USP and nobody but a Bangalorean will appreciate it as much. In fact we all panic that is getting less and less so as time passes.<BR/><BR/>ritish: yes please. thats the best it will have looked in years.<BR/><BR/>thoppe mama: LOL This was the best. I can just imagine my entire family getting into a boat and grimly singing chali chali in chorus (with mridangam and violin accompaniment). And as for the tactor-toob hooch, dayavittu solpa ithlakade nu kalsi!<BR/><BR/>rush: thanks :)Bikerdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14771686244929650432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636536530950102632.post-18061903156504513712007-12-06T20:41:00.000-08:002007-12-06T20:41:00.000-08:00Hey HAPPY BIRTHDAY dude...........RUSHnoreply@blogger.com
