Congrats, dear Kumble
We won the first test against arch rivals, spearheaded by Kumble.
Though I feel happy for India and the Indian team, I feel happier for the guy who had been deserving this for a long long time!
Nothing could have been better than this win in style on his first test as a captain! I have always known Kumble as a person who was always willing to give his very best for the team and thought always beyond self. His simple nature has not changed in the last 10 years or so!
Way to go, guy!

Unforgettable one!
Let me tell u an unforgettable event that happened yesterday and that will remain in my memories forever!
To kill the boredom, I decided to goto the library yesterday noon and packed my laptop too. I had to take a train from my hotel to the library and got down after the 20 minute journey. I had to walk a bit towards the building. After I entered only, I realised that myhandbag was missing! And that too with all my money, ATM card, passport, mobile,room key,ticket etc etc !! I could only curse myself for being so careless! I had left the bag in the seat and got down the train with my laptop bag alone!
Was not sure of teh nearby police station or telephone booth and had no money or phone numbers to call anyone!!
Rushed to the trainstop and waited for the next train in the same direction. It being a sunday, the frequency was less and those 10 minutes were the most difficult ones! there was nobody to help me with any information!
When the train came, I rushed to the driver and there was an old man who said that he understood little English! I was relieved a bit. When I told him, he offered to speak to the central department and find it. After he spoke, he asked me to come in the same train to the depot which was half an hour away! I told him that my money and tickets are in the bag, if any inspection came! He said that he would take care and asked me to sit calmly! After half an hour, there was a change of driver in a station where I got down along with him. He took me through the roads bordered by empty trams and entered a big building. All the while, I had been praying that my bag should be found. On entering a room far inside the building, I saw the green bag ! There were 3 others and one of them asked me to check the valuables. There was a list which had all the details. The first thing I checked was the passport! I signed a receipt and it got over ! Could not belive it !!
Thanked the old man and told him how relieved I was. He asked me not to worry and that he was still waiting for his lost bag and had to make a police complaint!!
Till I reached the room, I was hugging the bags :-)
I felt very good about the place, people and Germany!

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is my latest read. I am reading this book long after it was published. It was in late 50s that this book touched the stands and I understand that this was a success. Made into a movie which went on to win many awards too.
It is that type of a book, thats not read for timepass. It is the type to be read, assimilated and thought for long in one's memories. I continue to search the characters within me and others I meet, after completing this story.
Holly Golightly is an unforgettable charachter and an inspiring one for those who wanna tread life easily and always holidaying! I too wish so! Like every other character in the book falling for her charm or love!
Definitely a good read - to enjoy the story and for the feeling to linger on forever!

Friends
Today, I got a mail from a friend almost after a year! She had been into a hibernation and was not responding to any mode of communication!
Now that I get a 2 liner from her without revealing any information, I still feel happy.
I think of her for a minute and realise how much she is important to me. That doesnot mean that I had been suffering. Yet, it ushers in so much of happiness that I feel emotional.
Never take a friend for granted !
God bless her!

My travel takes me to heaven...
Its a good experience to travel and that too I had been travelling alone ... Mc Donalds(I'm loving it!)
Last weekend had been to a place called Kiel near Hamburg..
Its a port city and was good... better known as sailing city! except for the waiting at airports and railway stations when its 1 or 2 degrees centigrades out :-)
Otherwise, I had fallen in love with autumn and dont want the approaching winter to take out the colors from the trees ..
Sun has gone missing far awayyyyy.... U been to my homeland, dear?
Had been to a zoo in Karlsruhe and was amazed by the way the people make interesting events out of the mundane activities.. the seals were brilliant performers during their lunch session and the crowd esp kids were the happiest.. I took some videos too... :-)
Got the fotos but need to get the internet to upload them .... sometime soon ...
