One song that will always be close to my heart…

Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there’s no comfort in the truth
pain is all you’ll find

Yesterday evening was simply great. It brought back some of the few sweet memories I cherish. It all started with Manu’s plan to have the dinner at Eat Street, a multi-cuisine food court on the banks of the Hussain Sagar lake, Hyderabad. A wonderful place to be in the evenings. The food is good and the prices are reasonable.

We were having food and Manu had this idea of going for a boat ride in the lake. I was not interested but decided to join them anyway. It was nearing 8:30. So we hurried with the food and took the tickets for the ride.We had to wait in the boat for some time before the boat started its journey. The boat headed for the 16 meter high monolithic Buddha statue on an island in the lake. It looked great with all the lighting effects.

Dunno who the author is but he deserves due credit, this is truly nice.

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
“Why are you spending so much time on this one?”
And the Lord answered, “Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands.”

This one-liner does the trick.
