Happy B'day Driver duDe ...

The whole day I was bombarded with issues at the work place but everything got negated out with the smile and 'muchas gracias' i received from my friend...Fernando

Fernando is the one who makes sure that we reach our homes safe and sound after a day's work. I donno how it all started because , he doesnt speak or understand my language, he doesnt share my cubicle, he doesnt share my apartment nor are we distant relatives....

We greet each other with a hola and a com estas when I board the bus , then once all are in Fernando takes over with his humor making the bus ride a joy for ppl who understand spanish - he could make a fortune if he tried his hand on 'stand up ' comedy.. I liked the way he mingled with the A.. Z in the bus !! His smile, versatility, body language,humor sense all makes the ride back home really comfy - just the reverse of the morning ride that we take...

So yesterday he was telling me that he turns 32 today ;-) so thot of surprising him and presented him with a bottle of Tannat and feliz compleanos instead of the usual hola and com estas .. and i got in return a great smile and the best 'muchas gracias' straight from the heart !!!

Once again happy b'day my friend !!

Flu finds me again

from last nite till today afternoon spent most of my time in bed - courtesy the flu virus !!
temps went up, nasal congestion and it was boring to stay at the same place and with eyes heated up.. not good !! need to take a cold shower to flush them out... anyways thanks to barathi n karunakar for making me lazier by providing my all time fav dosa (though cudnt relish due to the taste bud issue..) and to the paracetamol i took later which enabled me to write this............
