"I am not Mark Zuckerberg!"

I had pooled some collegues to a local restaurant to treat them on my birthday. After the sumptuous continental fare was gulped by each individual, the ritual of singing the world famous ‘happy birthday’ song was concluded. One of the seniors in the team then commented on my addiction to Facebook in a rather shrill voice and a gentleman in the viscinity just jumped out of his seat. “Are you guys from Facebook?” was his rather astonishing question. I admired the man’s naiveness which tempted me to pull his legs but as it seemed my colleague was already on the job. Looking at the bewitched individual he signalled at me and quipped, “yes..he is”.

Fun @ Mocambo

Mummy out of town means party for me. Yesterday I had continental lunch at Cafe Mocambo situated at Fort in south Mumbai. I like experimenting and this proves it. I had continental food for the first time which was an Italian rissoto – rice with american sweet corn and lots of cheese and other stuff. I have forgotten what it’s called. The food was delicious but when I go there next time I am going to order rice with stirred fried mixed vegetables. My colleague Asha ordered the same and it sure looked colourful and delicious. If ever you come to Mumbai please pay a visit to Cafe Mocambo. Day before Aadesh and I went to a restaurant called Urban Tadka which is situated at Thakur Complex in Kandivli. The food was superb and delicious. It was later told to us that showing the TCS ID would have got us a 10% discount. No regrets though.

Ever since I have come back from Nasik I have this thriller story in my mind which I want to write but I can’t seem to get the peace of mind that I need to fulfill it. Neverthless once I complete it I am going to display it here for you guys to rate me as an author :-)
