Furniture shopping

Parul and I have been doing the rounds of furniture street to clutter up our otherwise empty home.

Everywhere we go, furniture talks to us. Invariably all of them say, "I want you" but most speak in a tongue that we cannot understand.

Most of it we would not be seen dead with. The Arabs have pretensions of royalty and most of the stuff is ornate and gaudy (mere euphemisms). Will try and post some pics as we go along to prove the point.

Have done rounds of IKEA twice. The first time around, a bed sang to both of us. Parul heard Suzanne Vega and I heard Bob Dylan. Needless to say that bed was a must have. A drawer cabinet and a computer table whispered sweet nothings to Parul and she gave me the "Daddy, I want look", that I am such a sucker for.

Still a long way to go. Wonder what songs and languages we will hear.

Some day soon a new language will emerge. The language of word verification. Of course like all languages it will be completely open to interpretation. Tfgyfld. Gotscat. Comments welcome.

Achtung

The Germans are a couple of 16 year olds who take professional training 4 times week. I feel like a vetaran. When did this happen?

Anyone for tennis

Entered a tennis tournament.

Didnt quite have the nerve to enter the singles so settled for the doubles alongwith Ananth.

Will be playing against a couple of Germans or Swiss or Austrians as their names suggest on the 30th. They are ranked No.2.

Some simple facts of advertising

1. Advertising works. 16 responses on the last post. I think the maximum ever on my blog. All thanks to Mukul advertising the post on his blog.
2. Referrals work - Mukul being a good endorser.
3. Contests dont necessarily work. No takers yet for Shanty's proposal.
4. A picture speaks a 1000 words.
