A chance meeting

Heavy rains brought traffic to a standstill last night. I had been enjoying my nap in the bus while my mobile rang. It was someone from Citibank. The executive wanted to know if I wanted a credit card. I noticed I had a new message waiting for me in the inbox. It went like this: "Hi Xavier, r u stil n office? Sorry it took me so long 2 contact u. no excuses! Forgive this poor girl". I was surprised to see the name at the end of the message. It was Sinduja. I called her back. We decided to meet. There was a blackout at Koramangala. It took me some time to find her place. She is enjoying life at Wipro's guest quarters. Three people at her beck and call. Hmmm. I should have utilized the services when I had the chance. I spent a couple of hours chatting with her and catching up on the latest news on everyone. Today, she is attending an interview in some software company. She promised to give us a treat once she moves into a new house(she is shifting this weekend in Koramangala).

I think it is up. Some people say that an index page is visible. But I still get a Server error. Funny, I am unable to view my website. :-)

Budget today

The day of the first budget of the new congress Govt... And there are hopes afloat.. on what Mr.PC would unveil to the billon people of the country... surprisingly, he would also be more worried about pleasing a few tens of people rather than this billion.. the few tens I'm referring to are the noble-hearted, people-minded, kind, generous, compassionate lot called the communists... How far would it be a dream budget in the lines of what Mr.PC presented in 1997.. his only other budget... that won him laurels across the salaried and waged class alike... VDIS was touted to be one of the revolutions he envisaged.. so much as the concept of competition postcards.. This time however, Mr.PC is facing a brand new India... economies are at an unseen height... Forex is plumpy at $119bn.. all he needs to do is to continue the good work that has been happening in the country... Hope Mr.PC springs up another one just like the good ol' fella that he is...
