Sydney Stories - Week 88

Hello,

Back again after a while. Last few weeks has been crazy to put it lightly. Got some catch up time this weekend finally.

Spring is in and with it,  brings all the minor inconveniences to health. The GP took some consideration on us and even gave a buy-2-get-1 free offer on consultation charges when he came to know that we don't have medicare. Weather of course is turning to be great. Got to resume the outdoor activities.

These days my  Saturday morning routine is to play a Pokemon Monopoly game with Nandhitha. We have to wait till Nandha goes to sleep and then start playing. We usually get one of us bankrupt in about 30 minutes. From that point on Nandhitha makes up her own rules to play without any money. I end up setting some pre-expectations on the number of variations we are going to play for the day. If I don't we can go the entire morning on Monopoly.

Roger Federer is in town and I didn't get a chance to say hello. What a pity!! ;-) He's here for a Davis cup match between Swiss and the Aussies. Apparently he beat Tomic today.

Am now part of a committee for organizing the Christmas party at my client's office. Yes, that's a pretty serious affair. Many venues have already been booked out for the premium dates - usually Friday nights beginning 2nd-3rd week of November till mid December. It is very interesting to hear viewpoints on what people want to do or not do in an office party.

"Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell is coming along well. One "concept" that stood out recently was about the fact - Character is contextual. It says that anybody is Good or Bad purely based on the situation (context) they are in at that point. More about this once I am done with the book.

Have A Great Week.
