Kudos Mumbai police!

Day before, got a call from the local police station asking me to present myself, with my credentials, for my newly issued passport verification. Was surprised at the courteous caller and I was joyous when I actually went there, got over with the process in exactly five minutes! If in a dream, let me sleep.

Lewis Hamilton is coming to town and I am not going to leave the slimmest opportunity to get into his car for a lap! I am 59 now and yet so many things to be done before I say Bye! So Speedfest it is for me!

Lewis will have the most memorable lap of his lifetime with me! He will keep visiting India for more!! Trust me!!  Get me onto that seat! Quick!! It is the Vodafone Speedfest dammit! 

Dream the Dream holiday

I dozed off into dreamland with the words ‘…it's your time to visit Melbourne NOW!’ ringing in my ears.

I dreamed that i walked the streets of Melbourne taking pictures of the fantastic street life and cafes. The dream ended with a pub crawl and my laptop’s home page configured to www.visitmelbourne.com/in 

The Aussie dream!

Update: Received the passport at home in 6 days from the day I submitted the documents!
