Immersed

Work, work and more work. This week has been as hectic as I ever had. Even late-night support calls!! Estimations, trainings, discussions, reviews, bug-fixes, arguments....no, I'm not complaining yet. I think it'd better be this way, at least for some time. This weekend is going to be packed too with tomorrow going towards guests and if we can squeeze in Lalbagh and Sunday I hope we can attend the concert.

Multiple Ganeshas have been immersed in our lake and it is not a pleasant sight anymore, though not on account of the idols. It periodically gets dirty, stinking, unbearable and then someone cleans it up and it sparkles for some time, just to get dirty again. Just like my mind I think!!

It's a marvel to me how people, especially ladies, pick up an accent so quickly. Within a year of living in Bangalore, most of them speak as if they've been here all their lives. I've also observed that this trend is more so in housewives. But I seem to have been a failure in this department. Even when I think I'm speaking the best of native tongue, bus conductors and auto drivers ask me if I'm from Mangalore side and nod with satisfaction when they see the incredulous admiration on my face. Anyway, I've decided to be myself now. I like our no-frills accent much better.

Got to finish at least one Tejaswi tomorrow. Goodnight!
