Life in Apr 9 - June 3

May came and went just like that, i still cant believe that May is over. Here are the highlights of this installment -

* Attended Bangalore 220 flea market and Soul Sante in May. 220 was great as i got to buy my plates and bowls for a very cheap price. Soul sante was amazing - i bought a solar powered phone charger. I am hoping to carry it on the Kashmir trip to charge my phone/camera. 


* Aarti visited on her birthday. Together with Mamji, on that weekend went for a Folk it India concert at Allaice Francaise. The play Robinson Crusoe at Ranga shankara, ISKCON temple and FAVA.

* Bought a futon and slept on it instead of my bedroom for a week just for fun.

* Movies: (a) The cabin in the woods: Very good. A mirror to the horror genre. Very creative. (b) MIB3 - Horrible. (c) The avengers in 3D: Average but the 3D made it awful. All the colors are gone when i wear those glasses. (d) Hugo. Super super awesome!!!!

* Ran the TCS 10K run. Finished it in 84 mins. It was quite dehydrating after the run. There were lots of people on a 2 lane road, lots of pushing etc  happened in the first 3K. But overall glad to have done the run. Need to be more disciplined in my training, next stop is half marathon.

*Books: The God delusion by Richard Dawkins. Reviewed one post before. Read Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Decent fantasy,  good story telling with nice images (its a graphic novel)

* Lots of board games at office and the meetup. Also downloaded the Catan app on iPad and finished the entire campaign yesterday. Man, gaming on ipad is addictive. Played poker and won 110 Rs.

* Team outing from office. Went to play Paintball followed by three games of cricket. Cricket was more fun than paintball (and cheaper too!)

* Attended concerts by Laal (band) from pakistan. A socialist band. :)

* TV: Absolutely loved the Sherlock season 2. The season 2 of Game of thrones is also awesome. Blackwater episode was epic. Finale is tomorrow. Also started Doctor Who to follow Steven Moffat :)

* Saw yet another live IPL match with STS and Paneendra. RCB vs DC which RCB won.  Bored of cricket now.
