After effects of 'Rattling off' !!

Posting of my last blog http://pratibhabr.blogspot.com/2010/12/rattling-off.html was worth it. Petu read it and he being a sweet hubby of mine, took me out the next day. The whole day we were out. I enjoyed it so much. Got a much needed break.

We were raking our brains as where to go. Then we went to Mantri Mall, as we had not gone there before. I really liked the mall. There is ample parking, that too with 2 level - there is one car above yours. Ha ha..

Started off with an ice cream, then went to so many shops. Only window shopping. :( But it was fun. Then, there was this french bakery - Au Bon Pain. Petu couldnt resist the temptation, so we went in. Sandwiches looked good. He ordered one of his weird sounding sandwiches, which tasted weirder. I settled for one almond biscotti (which was good). Then, lunch at Pascucci cafe. Thinking it will be a costly place, we entered. But, to our surprise, it was quite affordable. Started off with onion rings which was good. Then, wood fired thin crust pizza (Yummmmm). Look for yourself :D

And for dessert, yummy ice cream + espresso + yogurt + strawberries :) Look look -

And look how i emptied it :D

Then, we went to a play in the evening. That was a whole new experience. This was the first time, i watched a play. It was by Girish Karnad and directed by B. V. Karanth. The play is 'Hayavadana'. The story is complex, but very well performed by the actors.


That was a nice end to a very nice day :) I got an awesome break :). Thanks petu :)


Now, God, u still have to help me with my proj. Pls pls :) :D

Rattling off!!

Been some time since i rattled off here. But, no specific topic in mind. You see, my mind is being rotated, mutilated by openGl.

Just before the last day of my final exams (of 1st sem MTech), i had so many aashayen (wishes) for the holidays. But kaput!!! None of them are returning true status messages :(

First, wanted to enjoy Grace Hopper conference. Well, i did enjoy the first day, looking at pretty ladies and gorging down good food. But the lectures were not that great. Essence was lost to the looks (of the presentations and the presenter).

Second, I was so looking forward to going on a trip with Petu. Kaput again!! Fell ill the same day we were supposed to leave. Another wish down the drain. This is the second time our trip (only both of us) is getting canceled. Not fair at all.

Third, I wanted to read few novels and watch movies. Nope... Nothing doing. Not a moment to spare for these pleasures.

Then, I also wanted to study some technical books to update my knowledge. Well, its kinda happening. But not satisfied by the speed or the efficiency .

Then, there is this project with opengl, which is taking up all my time. I hate it when this happens. Coming to openGl, it is a nice API for designing UI but I am not finding any more use to it. Or may be i have to dive deep into it to actually appreciate it. But vacation is not the time for it.

God, are you listening. I want to enjoy atleast the last week of my vacation. Turn ur magic wand and make my proj work :) Thank you in advance :)
