This and that

Hi you all...
long time and all that...
apoligies, the three of us were like crazy busy all these days.

Anyways, firstly, Antya did nothing in particular, AHAK moved to Bangalore permanent and I moved to KL for a short while and that’s how things stand as of now.

Things are quite different here tell you, for one, I landed and asked this dude in the airport about the train to Sentral*, and he tells me where to collect the tickets, the cost of one, the place to board, the time taken to reach there and a whole lot of other info including the average cost of milk tea and he gives me all this Tamil.

I was stunned to say the least… I mean how could anybody guess that I’m Indian and more so, how could anybody guess I’m tamilian… more so, considering I speak kannada and not tamil.
Pretty interesting.

On my second day here, a local dude in the office gives me a friendly pat on the back 2 minutes after being introduced to me and calls me a giant and is wondering how I grew so much in only 25 years and how huge I might be when I’m say 40… people here grow till they’re 40 and hence the thought…

Anyways, that’s for them to know and for me to find out…

And something more thinsharkish next time…

*they don’t have a script here and here’s where they’re real smart… they don’t bother finding substitutes in the local lingo for newish English words like Taxi, they just spell it in an easier way, so Taxi becomes Teksi and Central (which isn’t newish, but still fits) becomes Sentral.
