an insight into my week long vacation. my posts' inspirations mixed with lot of random other things. every tweet other than the first and last one typed on my cell :)
| 11:37 AM November 24 | about to leave for mangalore...finally!!! also just discovered that my mom didn't know i had been drinking last night till i told her :P |
| 01:02 PM November 24 | There's never a dull moment when travelling with family. Like, my granddad called fat people MBBS:members of big bottom society :D |
| 02:40 PM November 24 | Train started moving half an hour ago...now for a 1186 km long journey...and 19 hours of continuous movement |
| 05:38 PM November 24 | Had a good afternoon nap in the train...will now get back to reading asimov...the weather's getting cooler too...awesome! |
| 10:15 PM November 24 | Had a lazy evening in the train...stood at the door and enjoyed the breeze, going to sleep early because everyone wants the lights out. |
| 10:18 PM November 24 | Network sucks big time and my cellphone's battery is about to die...looks like no more twitter till i reach mangalore :( |
| 11:36 AM November 25 | Train reached mangalore an hour ago...and i'm now at aunt olga's quiet, neat and homely place...it's nice! |
| 01:06 PM November 25 | Reading on my cell, noticed that a lot of my subscriptions are to video/photo blogs...guess i'll have a huge backlog this week. |
| 01:51 PM November 25 | Had an awesome lunch...chicken biryani and fish curry and fried fish...whoopee!!! Now the only thing left is my siesta :) |
| 02:48 PM November 25 | My first *full length* blog post that went straight from my cell to my blog. Blogger's doing it's job, and well! |
| 03:48 PM November 25 | Gotta get ready in time for mass - apparently the church's quite a distance from my aunt's place. |
| 05:29 PM November 25 | At the chapel, almost half an hour early for a change...it's such an idyllic place...oh and mass is open air, with a small chapel nearby :) |
| 07:23 PM November 25 | Exploring the area around the chapel while my parents and aunt chitchat :D |
| 08:24 PM November 25 | The buses in mangalore are amazing...some have disco lights, some have disco music, some, like the one i got, have both! |
| 09:10 PM November 25 | Going out for dinner...seafood is supposed to be mangalore's speciality...lets hope the food is as good as the menu :P |
| 10:22 PM November 25 | Whoa...that was one awesome dinner...fried king prawn and pomfret curry...seafood heaven! |
| 11:34 PM November 25 | Had a lovely day...now about to tuck myself into bed...or maybe listen to some music or play worms world party on my cell first :) |
| 01:50 AM November 26 | Fell asleep listening to "hey there delilah" and missing daf...woke up in time to watch my cell switch itself off :P |
| 07:28 AM November 26 | Woke up at 7:30am without an alarm, which is super early by my standards - this holiday is doing me a lot of good! |
| 08:13 AM November 26 | Apparently the new orkut doesn't display scraps in anyone's scrapbook when viewed on my cellphone...how crappy!!! |
| 10:33 AM November 26 | 2 hour breakfast...1 hour shower and shave...now that feels like a holiday! |
| 11:43 AM November 26 | On my way to the beach...and hopefully a fun bus ride before i get there too :) |
| 12:59 PM November 26 | Buses are nice and airy...no windows, just metal rods to the ceiling. Strangest of all, there are no tickets...just a dirt cheap flat fare |
| 02:06 PM November 26 | Beach was lovely, but not safe to bathe in :( had a nice long walk, a couple of shades of tan...and some nice shells :) |
| 02:42 PM November 26 | Parents didn't want to hang out at the beach too much cos there was too little shade...so we're on our way back now :) |
| 03:35 PM November 26 | Time for a nap...zzz!!! |
| 08:51 PM November 26 | Went to search for sultan's battery, a medieval watchtower that's located nearby. Unfortunately i didn't find it before sunset :( |
| 10:13 PM November 26 | Another sumptuous dinner...i must weigh myself when i get back...i'm sure it will be more than i expect :P |
| 11:31 PM November 26 | Blogged, chatted with my aunt about today and random stuff...now going to have a nice cold shower and hopefully a good night's sleep :) |
| 09:59 AM November 27 | Woke (or rather, was woken) at 9, to a treat of fresh dosas and green chutney...a typical south indian breakfast :) |
| 11:10 AM November 27 | On my way to st. aloysius college...supposed to have a centuries-old chapel with amazing murals :) |
| 12:12 PM November 27 | The chapel was awesome-every inch of its insides were covered with breathtaking murals...next stop, mangalore's museum :) |
| 01:10 PM November 27 | Got lost on the way from the chapel to the museum...the bus passed my aunt's place, so i got off there instead :P |
| 04:06 PM November 27 | Feeling sleepy post-lunch...but we've got better things to do! Let's see how i drag my mom and bro to go river rafting :) |

| 10:38 PM November 27 | Treated my folks to dinner...first subway, then pizza hut...they enjoyed the subway, but i enjoyed the pizza more :P |
| 09:56 AM November 28 | Woke up late...but got ready in record time...or rather, i tried...but 30 minutes is pretty good by my standards :) |

| 12:38 PM November 28 | Now visiting my grandmom's cousin, it's amazing to hear tales of my grandparents in their youth...how sweet! |

| 09:37 AM November 30 | Woke up at 9 as usual, but this time because my aunt whose place we're staying at was leaving for work. Ciao, aunt Olga! |
| 12:25 PM November 30 | About to leave aunt olga's place for the railway station...the end of a lovely 6 day vacation :) |
| 02:53 PM November 30 | The train's started moving...i've almost finished "robot visions" by asimov. Goodbye, mangalore! |
| 05:51 PM November 30 | Sat at the door with my bro and chatted about art and this year's christmas crib...will now switch to the more comfy seats :) |
| 08:20 PM November 30 | Out of one state...and into another! If the train's on time, there's 13 hours to go before i'm home :) |
| 09:21 PM November 30 | Sandwiches and fruit for dinner...feels like a picnic, except that i'm about to go to sleep in the train :D |
