AirPods 2023

 I got a call from Andy at around 7:00 pm yesterday, he was with a street vendor selling AirPods for ₹2000! These are first copies that came with some warranty. He convinced me to buy this, which I did. The sound quality was not so great, but this would be perfect to watch videos on iPad. This product is also under warranty by Apple, surprisingly. Anyhow, I decided to give it away to a nephew of mine! He can use it for gaming! 

Booked some Tix!

Ujwal, Bhanu, Solo, Andy and I booked some tickets to watch the Mission Impossible movie. It was planned all impromptu! I took a nap in the afternoon to keep myself awake later for the movie. We are also planning to sneak in some snacks into the theater, just for the thrills. Let’s see how that goes!  Update: sneaking in snacks was a success! 

Thanks giving party!

I was invited to attend Jayanth uncle’s and Arun uncle’s thanks giving party today. Arun uncle is 60 years old and Jayanth uncle survived a major health issue! This was a time to meet and celebrate!  I reached at around 12:30 pm. Andy also joined in. He was down with a bad flu. I was afraid of catching it from him, I stood at a safe distance. There was a small prayer and a message by the pastor and then the lunch was served.  We met some of their relatives and had lunch, I enjoyed the biryani and the baby corn manchurian a lot! I left the place and came back for my classes. 

Cold!

I can feel the weather changing in Bangalore. It was crazy cold last night, or is it that I’ve lost some insulting fat from under my skin? I have felt cooler here in Bangalore, but I’m noticing the change in weather. This weather is just for sleeping in! There’s no motivation to work. I’m fighting it all to just be up and running! I must!

iCare - laptop cable!

 My laptop wouldn’t charge, it works sometimes and most times it does not. So I walked in to the iCare shop at Mantri Square. I booked my appointment there, everything was well organized. I met a genius there and she made some checks and confirmed that the problem was with the cable. My laptop was under warranty, so they will replace the old cable with a new cable, this will take 4 working days. I hope it works well when it arrives. 

Cycle for my niece!

 I filed my tax returns, and when it finally was released to my account, I bought my niece a cycle. She outgrew her old one. The new one is from decathlon, a 24 inch BTWIN. Ujwal and  I found it really difficult to transport. We somehow balanced it on the backseat, turned the front wheel and the handle to make space and enemy drove it back. The mechanic who fixed our cycle, Abdul delayed the delivery as he was occupied with other customers, he was kind to throw in a bell free of charge to compensate for the time.  The cycle is in my living room! I’ve made space for her to have an indoor mini cycle track, so she learns how to handle the cycle and after rains, we plan to take it out for a spin. 

Disappointed!

The big band I was going to join, signed some more tours without me. So I guess I did not make it. I also heard they are using tracks to play my banjo and guitar parts. All this happened without any sort of communication with me. I’m disappointed, that I can’t travel with them; at the same time, it gives me enough time to work on myself. Too bad it didn’t work out. Well we can’t have them all, if it’s for me, let it happen!
