Look at the entrance of any temple – it has an elephant and a lion. Elephant stands for prosperity and the lion for strength. Wealth and strength are normally the causes of a person’s ego. When you go into a temple, the symbols remind you to leave the ego outside. It is exactly how you should enter a classroom – there is always something to learn. If you go in thinking ‘I know more than the trainer / teacher, you miss out on the learning opportunities. It is a complete waste of time, you might as well go watch a movie without disturbing others.

Mi3 Bday Bash

We had a gr8 time celebrating Maitrey's Bday last weekend. Started off with giving her a suprise get-together at Papa Jones, Powai. Feasted on Pizzas and Pastas and then pushed off to Mi3-Marshal's place at Andheri.

At home it was Treasure hunt time. Thanks to my dear wife Pinky, we had planned a small treasure hunt around the house for Mi3 to get her gifts. Worked out well...Mi3 was good in solving the clue's and we had a gala time seeing her do it.
Next day morning Marshal-Mi3 treated us with Sunday morning Poha. We love to have Poha at their place..it tastes gr8 Indore style. After lazing around for a while we headed for lunch at a nice place called Happy Singh at Andheri. There was a discount offer of 30% and we used it to the best. The Kalimirch Chicken was delicious. For a change even our friend Ashwin, who is least interested in food, showed a good appetite. We all ate to our capacity and had a fun time chatting.
Weeknd was gr8..too bored to get to office tomm...wish my office had given a holiday for Eid :(..

Onam 2009

Its the first time i am involved in making the Onam pookalam. Didn't turn out too bad. Looks real cute :). We had the traditional Onam Sadhya in the evening. Tooo much food and too many items to eat...surely have added a few pounds on Onam this year.
