My previous post was on 19th december. The first two weekends after that (i.e. the Christmas weekend, and the New Year weekend) were both spent in Pune partying with friends, watching a few good and a few shitty movies. The high point of my Pune visit being the meeting with 2 old friends from school at this place called Not Just Jazz on January 1st.
The weekend after that, I was in Mumbai - did nothing but sleep and spend a few hours at the British Council Library.
The weekend after that i.e. the previous weekend, I was in delhi to attend two weddings. One was a friend's elder sister getting married, and the other was an classmate of mine from school who chose to be the flagbearer by being the first guy in our group to get married. No wonder, I couldnt stop myself from rushing to delhi as soon as i got a chance. Sometimes I do wonder why people get married at such an early age (I mean... this guy is just 22!!). Had I been in his place, I would never even THINK of getting married at 22 - especially because 22 has been an unlucky number for me all my life!
(p.s. and this is why i am sure that i would get married on the 22nd of some month)
Anyway, so after three weekends out of town, I have decided to spend this long weekend doing nothing of substance. This is the precise reason why you are being made to read this rot of a post.
In an attempt to make this read worthwhile.... here is a little quiz for everyone which i am sure most of you would have seen elsewhere. However, do try and solve as many of these as you can on your own. If you get 20 or more, you should be applying for a membership to Mensa (Yes, they used to give this test to applicants).
the first two answers i have already entered.
