Intern's Log Star date 11.22.08

Intern's Log - Saturday, November 22, 2008 - Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Saturday: Thunderstorms. High: 29`C, Wind ENE 21km/h. Chance of precipitation 100%
Night: Thunderstorms. Low 24`C. Wind ENE 18km/h. Chance of precipitation 80%.


12:00 pm: Woke up to overcast skies, light drizzle. Running out of clean underwear, decided to do some laundry. Decided to washed my luggage case (Nike duffel bag - jammed it in the washing machine), washed underwear, bed spread etc, hang dry.

Made my way onto my bike, proudly named "Brakeless Kickstand" (because it lacks brakes and the kickstand is broken). Made my way to the local cafeteria (Tifany's) for some breakfast/lunch (Brunch). Ordered Gobi Masala Dosa and a bottle of water (Brand Aquafina).

Went to the scholar's lab to check e-mail, Facebook, check my online globe and mail, listen to music. Most played song - Michael Buble's Home.

"Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky, I know
But i wanna go home
Mmmmm, I've got to go home"

4:00pm: Coffee and newspaper break at Cafe Coffee Day. Cappuccino with extra espresso shot, Veg Puff and Masala Garam tea to go for the lab (drinking it right now - delicious (it's the only tea i drink so... relatively delicious - miss my Chinese Tea - Iron Goddess).


Newspaper article (The Times of India - November 22, 2008)
"Ban on doctor couple who let minor son do cesarean lifted"
- doctor couple let 15 year old son perform C-section, in hopes of getting him into the Guinness Book of World Records.
- Left utterly speechless and can't help but think WTF?!

5:30 pm: To Work or to pretend to work - that is the question. Ponder what to eat for dinner - most likely Paneer Fried Rice, Alu Gobi Masala, and Naan - Rice, potatoes, cauliflower - a starch filled redundancy.


Intern's Log End for star date 11.22.08

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ~ Sir J. Lubbock
