A New Record

I don't know about others, but I think I just set a new record for myself (if not the whole city) by driving from home to work and back for three consecutive days (that's six trips for the ones slow at math) without using my horn even once!

For those of you living in high GDP-per-capita economies, this may sound unusual. 'Blow the horn?', one may ask. 'What's the big deal!?', may ask another, and so on...

Well, for reasons well documented in this blog (refer to posts in July '07), driving in Hyderabad is nothing short of a minor nightmare, with the total lack of road sense displayed by motorists...especially those on two wheels. It's practically impossible to drive a coupla kilometres without a scare or two. QED.

Life in the past month or more since I posted has not been exactly easygoing. Working on a very interesting 'engagement' (no, I am not getting engaged) which is taking up days, nights and twilights of my time. Hectic as hell for sure, but fun nevertheless. Quite a bit of learning on various fronts.

Won a bet with a rather interesting person that she wouldn't recognize me when she saw me, haha, that was fun.

It's my parents' wedding anniversary today, yaiy! Got some surprises for them :)

Some travel planned for the end of the month, fingers crossed on whether that comes through. Hopefully, yes. Hyderabad is getting bloody hot, need to get out for some time. Anyone for a trip to Ladakh?
