Just back from Pune. Nice trip, I think I wasn’t too<\/i> condescending towards the kids…The lectures went off….ummm…safely enough. Loads of good-looking gals around in Pune. :-)<\/p>\n
It’s odd, moving around in a new city with no one familiar around. You don’t know when the auto-driver is taking you around in circles just to increase the meter-rate. It’s kinda lonely, seeing a movie without any company, or trudging from college to college in the hot sun ( i asked for it, a guy offered to give me a lift, but I said I needed a walk )<\/p>\n
As is usual, I blew up half my money in Planet M, and part of the remaining moolah on the second-hand bookstores near Pune bus-stand, so I had 40 Rupees in my pocket as I boarded the bus back to Hyd. C’est la vie. :-)<\/p>\n
I was continually reminded of this urban legend about a mother and a daughter going to an unknown city in a different country, and booking a room in a hotel. the mother goes out to buy some supplies, the daughter agreeing to stay back in room 201 and catch some sleep. Mother returns an hour later, and to her surprise, discovers that room 201 is empty, no luggage around, no daughter…she approaches the hotel authorities, the receptionist, the liftman, the manager, each of whom claim that they have never seen her or her daughter before…their name isn’t on the register. And yes, the lady is still sure that is<\/i> the same hotel.
