I am back.....I am back

I had a kind of eventful week. First I went to my Mama's place at Ahmednagar. It was after 3-4 years I guess. Grandma was nearly ecstatic to see me. I usually don't like to go there in summer time. It's hot like crazy and then there is power cut. Can't stay in home or can't go outside either. Besides grandma force fed me nearly every kind of sweet and cuisine she could prepare. Actually I liked that part. But I had to leave a day earlier than my original schedule as I had some other plans.

The first thing I did after arriving was to buy a PlayStation 2. Finally I gave in to my desire. After that I banged my head against the wall as it turned out that my TV supports only PAL and not NTSC. So 3 out of 4 games I bought are running in black and white(bang...bang....BANNNGGGG). Only The Godfather is running in color mode. Don Corleone did it again. Maybe he gave my TV an offer it couldn't refuse.

I don't mean any disrespect to Godfather, but I want to play God of War and San Andreas more than anything else. But my TV has to go all colorless at this point. Now I am looking for some kind of converter. According to some we don't get that converter in India. I don't see any reason for that. Probably they just tell me that because they don't have it. But I have faith in the guys at Lamington road. Those people can get any damn electronic contraption in the world. All you need to do is look for it. So either converter or the European version of the games would do.

The next thing I did was......ahm......joined the gym. I know many of you are either shaking your heads in disbelief or laughing. Many would find it impossible to believe that I, Bhushan Pangaonkar, would actually join a gym. But I did it. I am so proud of myself. It was long overdue.

Now the next thing I did was to actually go to the gym. Getting up at 5 in the morning is not fun. Surprisingly I haven't hit the maximum of the pain meter yet. It's not that I want it or that I am more fit than I think. But I think that the trainer is waiting for the right opportunity. I could sense it.

Let's see what happens.
