Don't worry, I don't mean the Leo DiCaprio movie of that name. This refers to a nice place on 100 foot Road, Indiranagar, that I happened to visit last week. With waiters dressed in hula shirts and straw hats, to the drinks menu pasted on bamboo, the theme pervades it completely. Though parking is a problem, the experience makes up for it. Though not as expensive as a TGIF it is still pricey and not the kind of place to go to every week. But if you want a place where you can relax, and talk without the music blowing your eardrums off, this is definitely the place to check out.
My trip to the Philippines has been moved (again) to January. But since that trip will be to attend a sort of conference which would definitely increase the company's (and my) visibility in that part of the world, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Will keep you posted on how things go.
Chow for now.

(There and) Back again
It's been days, nay months, nay... oh, who cares anyway? I've been gone for a long long time. I don't think there's any point in me apologising for that since I tend to do this so often. But I'm back, baby, and... well, I'm back.
Several things have happened since I went AWOL. Peter left to work in Dubai (so secretively, as if the Mafia were after him, and his only hope of survival was to not inform his friends who might betray him). But he is doing well there so, cheers Pete, have a ball there.
Allen is now in Malaysia and by the looks of it, he may be there a while. Good for you too, dude, and maybe we can catch up if I happen to come by sometime (on one of my "trips", that have never materialised so far).
And me, well, I've been busy but nothing much has happened for me. Travelling a bit to Mumbai and back but not much else. Also involved in organising a Christmas concert with the youth of the church I attend. And I'm on the lookout for a car. After two years of driving two-wheelers in the dust and grime of Bangalore, I am finally ready to graduate to a four-wheeler. But which one; I'll keep you posted on that.
And for all those who like their action with some story attached to it, catch Casino Royale. It does take some time to adjust to the continuity as this is the first book of the series that has only now been officially adapted to the silver screen. Bond isn't quite as suave and sophisticated as we know, rather he's hot-headed, impulsive and arrogant. But he learns over the course of the movie and by the end he is definitely turning into the character we all know and love. Good to watch; Daniel Craig puts in a solid performance as the famous double-o agent just learning the ropes and the supporting cast are also quite good.
