At home

When I get home this time around I wish ...

I could ride in the peak hour traffic and sit through a jam without cribbing
I could eat at Vidyarthi Bhavan licking my fingers
I could eat an idli and a kilo of chutney at Veena stores
I could run the entire perimeter of Lal bagh and Cubbon park, not together necessarily
I could run atleast from 45th cross to 29th cross in Jayanagar (provided the trees are still around)
I could go for an early morning shoot at BR Hills, starting by mid-night on bike

I could go to Mangalore for a week
I could ask the fisherman I befriended to take me out for an entire day on his boat when he goes fishing
I could sit for an entire sunset, without telling sunsets are over-rated
I could eat an ice-cream at Ideals everyday I am in Mangalore
I could go to an areca field and smell the sweet blossoms of arecanut blooms (supari)
I could sit around listening to my friends, and not pass any sarcastic comments.

I could make myself at home when I get home. But every wish need not be fulfilled.

Guaranteed Peak hour traffic: Hosur Road/ORR - EC to Udupi Garden via CSB, 6.30PM to 7.30PM weekdays.
Aah! the art of eating chutney with idly...
If the 45th and 29th Cross roads intersect 4th Main (Sangam Circle to South End Circle), then all those beautiful trees are either cut down or trimmed off their beauty, for metrofication.

I'll be expecting more Gadbad/Parfait/Dilkush pics then :p

I wish I could do atleast one of these.
Are you not coming to Ideals? We can go on a weekend and also go to Panambur for my gift :)

Or we can go on a kinetic to get your gift, it will automatically stop in front of ideals :).
You know I don't need an invitation to go to ideals, just that our schedules are busy... 20th I am not free as you know, 28th I know you are not free...

Cool. Take the week-off then :) I will have extra tickets. I need moral support on the journey.
