so this is cool…you work for 3 days and its time to go back home….!!
last weekend was a long one. was home for 4 days…took sunday off and monday was a public holiday. awesome fun. watched a movie…(Dor…quite a good watch..!)…and went for dandiya on saturday.
its funny how every thing remotely connected to dance…in delhi…has to turn into a bhangra one..! whats funnier is that no matter how much one cribs about it…you will definitely move your ass once it starts…!
so we had..none other than…the world famous…Bhupi…for the bhangra…oops…dandiya night..!! god..u shud hv seen the girls tearing their cholis apart….shouting “we loveeeeeee u bhupiiiiiiiiiiiiii”…and he doing that…”la la dhin chik dhin chik dhin chik…la dhin chik dhin chik dhin chik…” dance…!! the dandiya beats added to the punch…
and then the food was quite awesome…! it was shit expensive though…and i find it so fascinating how your atittude towards money keep evolving depending on how much you earn…
i remember the one time when i waited like anything for the x-files movies to release in India…i mean i waited…like crazy. and when i came…i thought…nahhh…its too expensive (and at 50 bucks a month as pocket money…it surely was)…will watch it later (and i did…4 yrs hence..when it came on TV..i saw it with my hands folded…it was religion for me..!!)…
and then those numerous times when you see something in the shop…and go…oh this looks so awesome…wonder how much it is……for….CRAP…!!! too expensive…
and now…by the grace of god…things are smooth…and the time spent on buying things is much lesser…! which makes me wonder…does hving money make u less of a ‘deal-seeker’…!! i mean…i remember that part of me which used to browse and browse thru shit loads of sites…before i cud find the cheapest possible deal on a particular item…(and a cheap deal is not a bad deal in my scheme of things…its value for money).
but today when i hv to buy a papri chaat…i bloody fork out 40 bucks…!! obviously thats not a deal…!! especially when you had that same precise shit about 4 hours back…for 15..!!!
people say money makes one powerful…!! yeah right…!! money simply makes u lazy…! it all boils down to convenience..!!
i hate this part of me…
so today…i spent 3 hours…ofcourse…in office…searching for a holiday package for my folks. and i searched and searched…searched like crazy..!! i didnt get the deal i was looking for…but in the process i did find myself back..!!
love this part of me…

So are u still to be hit by the great Ramadan fever in Dubai when nothing moves for a month? r ustaying at the Crown plaza? Howz the traffic at Sh Zayed Rd these days–I am sure its the same
ohhh..dont even get me started on ramadan. hv conveniently avoided bloggin on tht..lest an important organ might jst get cut when i go back to dubai..!!
staying at the shangri-la..and the traffic sucks…anywhere…with SZ leading..!!
A key point should be that as you earn more money do you focus on bigger deals and simpler overlook smaller deals (events / opportunities). So maybe the same you is there, just at a different plane.. should that be a way to look at things as well?
Point well taken dude. I think you are quite right. Maybe the frame of reference has changed. Its gone beyond those small bucks to bigger considerations (buying a house at the right price)…!!
thanks for the view…yipeeee..i hvnt changed..! :)

Agree completely. Sometimes miss those days when used to go hunting for the cheapest deal all over the small town that we used to live in!
Times sure have changed.
Minal:
