The only channels we get at my nani’s place are Doordarshan National and DD News :o.
These channels have not changed since independence! They still have the same anchors and news readers, the same shows, and the same old logo!
The news channel doesn’t get any video clips from the IPL to show off, so they just show the teams practicing at the nets.. What’s more, they show the score of the first innings of a match, and totally forget about the second innings!

I played Volleyball for the first time in my life here. And let me tell you.. I SUCK at it! Whenever I tried to hit the ball hard way up, it went over my head, behind me. My friends said that if I stood facing the other side, I might get the ball to the other side of the net =)) LMAO. Man I was laughing like hell today =)).
Monday (26-05-2008)
Woke up today to the earliest of sunrises that I’ve seen, EVER. It was around 0545 HRS and the sun was well up! The day had begun, and might I add, quite early for me :P. Brushed, bathed and had breakfast. When I was done with all this, the time still read 0830. Too early. So..I went to sleep again :D. woke up half an hour later, saw a movie “Two Weeks Notice”. Good Movie!
Then went out with my mom. She had to get her blood test done today. She thinks she has Diabetes. I know she doesn’t. Just a little anxiety ;). Damn, it was so HOT! She gave her blood sample, and we went off to a supermarket named “More.”. “A typical Gujarat Supermarket name”, I thought. What’s “MORE” (No Pun Intended), it has a full stop in its name. So, NO MORE after More. =)). So much for jokes.
Anyway, we went inside, and there we saw one of the biggest supermarket in Ahmedabad. (Not sarcastic). ‘Twas quite a store! It had everything. We did our shopping, left the damn place.
My mom suggested a great place to have Dosa (which is btw my favourite phood). We went there, just a few blocks away.. It was on the 1st floor (Still is). The prices there raised an eyebrow. A “Plain” Dosa (it’s what they called it) cost 60 bux. SIXTY BUX for a sada dosa that I get for EIGHT BUX ANYWHERE in MUMBAI. “Maybe size matters”, I thought.
Then came the moment of truth. The Dosa came, the size was even SMALLER than the dosa I got for EIGHT BUX. The best this was that they gave us a chirag (lamp) full of sambar and four different types of chutneys. I mean, WHAT THE HELL am I gonna do with all this stuff, when I have such a teency-weency Dosaaa!!! Arggh!! SIXTY BUX!
Anyway, I finished the dosa, and what’s more – My mom and me finished all of the extra sambar they gave us (Acting like true gujjus) and on top of that, finished most of the chutneys too, AND we didn’t tip the waiter =)). VALUE FOR MONEY. I mean even Dosa Diner doesn’t charge that much for a friggin dosa!
We got back home, I watched another movie, and went to sleep. Then I woke up and started writing about my day’s experience on my Laptop (It’s my bros, but I like to brag). I wrote that I woke up at 0545 HRS (Morning LOL) to the most earliest sunrises I’d EVER seen…blah blah blah blah…blah blah…………….BLAH.
