My Sunday
Posted by Bloggylife in personal on June 28, 2009
Woke up at 9 AM in the morning. Dressed up and went for coffee. I needed to finalize some papers in government institutes and that took about an hour. While waiting, I managed to arrange other appointments 
Surprisingly the streets were a bit crowded and of course the heat was unbelievable, spending most of the day in the office and leaving when the sun cools down, makes you forget the blazing 10 AM – 2 PM heat!
Decided to go off to Jarir to get myself some items, the clerk working there, came to me and said HI, asking where have I been and why haven’t I passed by in a while! I got myself a few books, journal and a magazine.
On my way out I noticed the traffic light at the intersection of where the Muhallab complex is on the left and Jarir on the right allowed left turn, you don’t have to go straight all the way and take a U-turn, so that was good.
Passed by Hawalli Sultan Center, it’s neat and almost empty, but I kind of lost my way in unfamiliar grounds, I had specific things to search for, like my Weetabix which I can’t find anywhere 
Bought the usual stash of chips and chocolate for the bros back home.
I managed to catch up with blogs and mine too ;P Finished reading my novel, that made me quiet happy and started refreshing my Java info 
Tomorrow plans include breakfast, shopping and Transformers, I’ve been waiting anxiously for this movie
Slumdog Millionaire
Posted by Bloggylife in book on June 28, 2009
A poor orphan, Ram Mohammad Thomas, participates on a game show and answers all 12 questions correctly to win one billion rupees, which is approximately six million KD! The show producers did not expect anyone to win this amount of money at this stage of the show, so he is arrested by the police on account of cheating his way. Ram begins explaining how he knew the answer to the questions by telling his life stories to a young lawyer who came to his rescue.
I really enjoyed this fast paced novel to the end. Each question is a chapter, that begins with a snippet of Ram’s life and ends with the show’s question and how he came to answer it. The surprises and unexpected turns are in each story line that keeps you flipping through each and every chapter to reach the show’s question answer roundup.
The great thing, it really added to my knowledge about the Indian culture and way of living. I do recommend this novel and maybe I’ll manage to see the movie, but I’ve always enjoyed the book version everytime.
My Book Shelf

A trip to a book store can always not go according to plan! I went to Jarir to get me a Journal and perhaps a magazine. Entered the store, picked up a journal and then off to the books.
My book stack is piling up! And these are the only ones in front of me. I have many more stashed somewhere. I’m hoping to finish the book I’m currently reading today and then I’ll have many choices to get my next to read book.
Of course, I didn’t forget to get the journal ;D
Time Off!

I’ve got one week off Not going anywhere as usual, I’ll be spending it here.
I needed it so badly, to relax and ease my mind and prepare for the upcoming month.
Some of my days are planned some are not, I’ll bore you with my daily doings or I’ll try to.
Got lots of catching up to do, reading, learning, cleaning, movies, playing, etc. Hope I manage to do most of them!
