psuedo monsoon...

It rained in Abu Dhabi y'day!!
Before anyone starts thinking how sad my life is...that i wud write abt this...let me tell u...it rains once in a year here.
and yesterday was that golden day. i feel like i witnessed part of history....
one solid hour of rain. everything looked squeaky clean after it...like its been given a good wipe with Colinspray :)

folks out here promptly celebrated by having several accidents in that time. The whole idea of "oh-its-been-raining-maybe-i-shouldnt-drive-at-120mph-just-now" just doesnt hit them.

the local hindi radio channel decided to commemorate it by playing rain songs on the 9pm slot. songs were gud...the bad part was...the opening trailer for the show was that sick anu malik song...dekho baarish ho raheeee hai...yuck yuck yuck.

y'day the boss came and said..we shd be outta her by december 1st week. then said...lets just say 2nd week maxxx. i have a sad awareness of what this means.

someone plz explain to me...the whole deal of giving acheivement/samman awards to bollywood actors??? they r just doing their obscenely-high-paying jobs rite? since when did that become award worthy...
and they surely dont need the publicity...OR the money.
