Highway On My Plate

Last weekend was pretty good. I treated some friends for dinner on Saturday. Felt good that kulla and go were there. Was happy to see them engaged. Notably missing were lee and bakra. We also kicked around bagal as it was his b’day. Was back in office yesterday. I was pretty low and sad yesterday. Guess that’s the Monday blues!

Saw the new pepsi commercial featuring dhoni today. liked it immensely. In the ad Dhoni is mocked for not scoring well, not studying well. He then goes on to say that he then studied bowlers, pitches, fellow players and sreesanth!!! The punch line is then “khair itni phadai ke baad ek world cup toh aa gaya, par zindagi mein pyaas rehna chaahiye”. Truth and attitude straight in the face, with loads of confidence. I could very much relate with the ad. My achievements are nowhere close to that of Dhoni, but I am happy and confident with myself. I too have the thirst for more in life, though not for pepsi or coke. Hoping some of that thirst will be quenched over the weekend as I have plans of going off-roading to sakleshpur in reddy’s JEEP!!! Should be thrilling and I am already excited!!! More on that trip after I am back.

Also, watched a show on NDTV goodtimes called “Highway On My Plate” or HOMP for short. Rocky and Mayur are traveling on the roads of INDIA exploring the amazingly diverse and mouth watering cuisines on the way. I absolutely loved the show. The concept, the presentation, the hosts are all just too good. It includes a lot of travel, which is one of my passions in life. I also like shows on food. I watch them once in a while and they remind me of one of my childhood dreams of becoming a chef!!! Food industry’s loss, no one’s gain!! But, the single most important reason that I loved the show is coz one of the guys is a veggie!! All the more reason for me to watch it as I know that there is gonna be talk about some food that I too can enjoy. Every time I watch the show, it reminds me of pomchi and the bike rides that we go on. I am vegetarian and he is not. But, both of us just love the rides!! We too have had some wonderful and satiating food on the highways. Good food on the highways make traveling that much more memorable.

That’s it from me for now. Adios amigos.
