what a nice date :)

so we reached india... and the return ticket is not due for a while...
thunderstorms at bangalore cleared for a cool summer evening and we came home to some good hot south indian coffee... yes, in the dead of night. didn't prevent us from sleeping soon after, tho.

that we are going to live here now is slowly sinking in... very slowly. we had our first taste of indian work ethics -- our apartment keys are not ready yet... no stove in yet. people waiting in various places for unnamed "documents" and the longest "5 minutes, sir" -- amusing, almost.

and oh, by the way, our bags didnt all make it either. apparently lufthansa realized that 2 bags were left over in Frankfurt and let us know of it before we landed in india... they are supposed to arrive on sunday morning, by the next flight. as luck would have it, the bags are mine :)

we went to the avis "lot" -- a row of parked cars at the oberoi and by ulsoor road (!) -- and picked our car for the year -- a black honda accord ("executive color, sir") with very black tinted windows -- rather mafia-like -- but a comfortable car.

we are now suppsed to get the keys at 9am tomorrow, but turns out it is "rahu kaalam from 9-11, sir. cannot give you keys in that time, sir" -- so we will get the keys after 11am.

*grin*

so we start moving in after that.
wonder what else is in store for us, "sir." :)
