Phew! Today was an absolute busy bee contrast to yesterday's lazy bones. I finally got done with the one thing that bothers me the most while switching jobs- the med exam. Once I got that out of the way, I indulged in my favourite sport ..
Shopping!!
And all around stores yelled out their discounts. It was almost like the whole of Hyd was on upto 50% sale!
Hated the traffic though...was like half the world was honking its way around..plus all that flyover contruction chaos..that sort of thing just turns me into a total misanthrope... feel like clobbering everybody in the 50 mile radius.. but when I have cooled down a bit I am fascinated by just how many people there are on the roads.. Wohoo! India is definitely bursting at the seams!
On the bright side, I did all my fav. jaunts.. all the places I haven't been to in a while...and after the usual mall hopping...took the easier drive via Necklace road (above) in the rain ... and floated past those tempting biryani aromas from Paradise ..then the mirchi bajji joints..ahh! It felt like I have never been away.
The rain kinda made up for one of the things that I miss the most about Pune - the superb weather. Hyd's 30 degrees seem warmmm compared to Pune's balmy 24s and my first few days here made me really miss Pune's clement breezes. Whenever I feel that way, I just look back on that one summer in sultry Chennai and it pretty much ends the boo-hoo.
