Travelling

with 2 comments

I have been travelling, this past weekend. Not many places though, touched Mangalore, visited Udupi for a day and 2 days at home in Goa. The Bus and train journeys take the toll but I must say, there is absolutely nothing like travelling in small-town South India. If you like travelling and haven’t yet tasted this experience, you have missed so much!

Besides, this could be the best time for travelling in the small cities of South India. This time, when the small-towns are still “small”, still are able to defy the heavy commercialisation. So, if not now, then when?

Will write more once I am back in Bangalore tomorrow.

So much for the credit card

with 3 comments

Yesterday I received my second credit card, a Citibank-CRY card it was.

“Was”, because I lost it in less than 30 minutes.

Now, I am not defending myself here but I have a pretty impressive record of keeping track of my plastic money as well as the ‘plastic’ involved in it. I am surprised but it was sloppy of me. In fact it was one of the most careless acts I have ever come across. Certainly in the all-time top-5 acts of negligence.

How Ironical, that a few hours before this happened, I had started programming a component of credit card software. Sigh.
