Saturday Blues

The day began on a sombre note with Tia being moody and Suresh called up and cancelled the city market trip.  Oh my dear all plans for the day is going awry.  After dropping my wife to the bank i took off and visited the Hanuman temple which is a saturday routine of sorts.  I headed to submit my address proof to IDEA.

I reached their Richmond road office and pleasantly surprised to find no customers, otherwise i would had to wait in the queue.  I was quickly attended by Vinodh Kumar, who apparently wanted to get rid of me.  I told him that i had sent a complaint for his unfriendly attitude.  He acknowledged the same.  I filled in the form and handed over the xerox copy of the passport copy with date mentioned.  I asked him out of curiousity what is the turnover of the company, he said no IDEA, what an Idea.....when you say no IDEA, the advt scream that you go for IDEA network.  Last time too when i visited the IDEA office i had asked the same question, i thought they will improve in polishing their knowledge about their company ( i mean our company being a shareholder i have to take the onus too Lolz )  I had to follow up with investors relations to guide them, and plus introduce the electronic mailing of  Annual reports.

Then i had two options, before that i thought i will purchase some Pizza and bread for my guest, i went to the nearby Koshy bakery and packed a few for the breakfast and bites in the evening.  Next i dropped the idea of going to city market and proceeded to Mantri Mall.   Hey come on my amenesia is taking over i suppose.  I stopped at Brigade road and advised the guard manning to introduce reverse parking which would to a large extent decongest traffic snarls.  He helplessly nodded that he will inform his seniors i doubt it, got to follow up next time around.

While proceeding towards Mantri Mall i came across, the RCB team bus with police escort proceeding to KSCA.  Almost a Z security is being provided by the police to the players.  The bus driver happened to inexperienced i reached faster than him and found that due to priority siren they over took me near the KSCA stadium.  But he could not turn i caught him in my cell camera, with cops too wondering, and such careless driving would be a security threat i thought.  Nevertheless with one escort behind and one in front the risk was minimised.

On reaching Mantri mall for my Tia 's chops, i found there was no stock.  I picked up soup bones and my quota of drink and rushed towards purchase of  Mushrooms and Patravade.  Then while returning i went to Chikka tirupati temple and had dharsan of the lord. I was lucky to pick up ladoos and than proceeded back to the pavilion.  I tried to Insert IDEA sim card it would not work.  Go get Idea helpline, now back to NOKIA Showroom for back up support.
