Holidays Report

Nothing is happening according to the ingenius plans for the holidays I had devised during my study holidays. But everythings going well.

I’d been to Bangalore (or the ugly name ‘Bengaluru’) for a few days with a friend. The bus journey wasn’t as good as it used to be. The road were bumpy and kept waking me up every few minutes. Busses go via Mysore these days, so we arrived 2+ hours later than we would have if the bus had taken a direct route.

And WOW has it changed a lot since I was last there 4 years ago. So many malls. We went to “The Forum” mall. My friend wanted to first go to McDonalds, where we ate burgers, fries and what not. I fell in love with the Ice Tea, since we don’t get them here. Then we browsed almost all shops. I bough myself a few books at ‘Landmark’ including ‘Mein Kampf’ :)

Was amazed by the sheer size of Garuda Mall. Loved the ‘Scary House’ on the 4th floor. The dwarf guy at the exit scared the hell out of me. Then there was this electronic good shop where the employees shadowed you everywhere.

Then I bought some hardware for my PC, including an AMD64 X2 Processor.

Borrowed some books from my cousin with whom we stayed in Bangalore. heh, my luggage weighed more than 10Kgs on return.

LESSON LEARNT: Autorickshaw drivers will suck from your wallets if you don’t know your roads and routes.

Right now I’m mostly reading, sleeping and occasionally playing age of empires. FPSes and Racing games have bored me. oo Monopoly 2008 is a nice game for passing time (you can cheat the low levelled computer players easily :D ).

And since this blog has died (the time table got me a lot of traffic), I’m writing a few tutorials to setup an irc server/services etc
