I was about to type a title for this post, when the auto-complete feature gave me this along with few of my previous post titles. I've definitely never used it for any of my posts. Weird. But I didn't have to think about writing one either, so thanks.
Thursday was boring as usual. Nothing much happened and didn't feel like writing down the same useless crap over and over again. Friday was better. Finished off what I was supposed to do and then didn't do anything else for the rest of the day. Any work that is. Just remembered, on Thursday evening went a friend's place for dinner, her boyfriend cooked. Stuffed capsicum was good, baked potatoes with cream were kinda raw (the guy insisted that they were supposed to be that way so technically they were good too) and chicken something (they didn't give me a name for it) was great. Somehow home-made food makes me want to eat much more than I actually can.
Had received an email from Microsoft about Bill Gates addressing a conference in Delhi with some high level politicians like Kapil Sibal etc. and there was a link to where we could watch it live. So I thought why not, maybe there'll be something interesting. At least it'll help me kill another hour off the clock. So I followed the link and it tells me that I need Silverlight to be able to view the video. I had heard about it a lot and seen a demo in class once. This thing is totally awesome. I recommend you try it today. I had to raise a request to the tech guys for getting it installed and they gave me a link for their own server where it was available. It worked. So since I was on the MS site I decided to check out Windows 7. It looks really cool, hopefully it won't disappoint like Vista. So I took the tour, watched all the videos and then installed IE8 from the same server and a whole lot of other stuff which they don't normally allow you to have (like flash plugin for the browsers, that's just stupid). Since everything was built using Silverlight, the videos didn't take anytime to load at all. Then I started googling for sites that use Silverlight and found some really cool stuff. Do check it out. Had to attend a boring and annoyingly long meeting in the evening which just killed the mood.
Rochak had to leave early as he was going to Hyderabad for the weekend. Reached home and did nothing for 2-3 hours, just sat in a chair switching channels. Watched The Longest Yard again, fun movie. Kapil felt like cooking so he did (dal and rice), but I didn't feel like eating, so I didn't. Drank Fanta and munched on Kurkure. Got hungry by 11 so made soupy Maggi (with actual tomato soup powder, wasn't much of a difference). Kept channel surfing till 2.30 am (which came to me as a surprise really) and then decided to call it a night.
Woke up really late. Did nothing since morning. Have downloaded the first (actually fourth) episode of MST3K, will watch it today, the concept is just too funny. Decided to make Rajma so called up mom and asked her what all I'm going to need. Turns out have almost everything except the Rajma, so finally got out of bed, had a bath and went shopping. Got everything plus replenished the Lays and Kurkure stock. Had a glass of milk after coming back and have been online since. Another power cut, dammit! Will tell you how the Rajma turned out. Stay tuned.
High: The possibility of going on a vacation this weekend.
Low: Plan didn't materialize.
Points: 150 points for Sandeep (the boyfriend) for a great meal. Thanks.
