“Michhri” !!!
That brought back some memories from the yesteryears!! Saw this in the Farmers’ Market. Not that I needed any sugar, but it so reminded of the “micchri”s (মিছরি) from early childhood, that I had to buy a packet. Came back and did two things immediately:
(*) checked the English word for this. Apparently, it is “Rock Sugar” (that is what it said on the packet too). Had heard of Rock Salt, but never of Rock Sugar. Also, I did not realize that each one of them is a single crystal.
(*) put one in my mouth and crushed it with the molars just like we used to do nearly fifty years back!!!
Now, of course, I have to figure out how to put it to some proper use. Old Fashioned cocktail, perhaps?

Surprise guest at the Alpharetta Farmers’ market this morning
Ran into quite a few neighbors in the Farmers’ market and then surprisingly, into Nachiketa. We were there for our weekly shopping. He was there to pick up some bread from an East European stall.
We did what you would expect a couple of Bengali quinquagenarians to do… we talked about body aches, medicines and doctors!!!

Bogga standing guard for me
Woke up early this morning and made some tea for myself. Bogga wanted to be with me so I brought him downstairs. He sat on the patio keeping a watchful vigil on every passing vehicle as I enjoyed reading the Economist over the said cup of tea.
Jay Jay – the terrier – allegedly an hunter dog – opened one eye slightly to see where we were going and then went back to sleep!!

You know, every time I think I understand how airlines work…
… the airlines come up with a curve ball for me. Yet another first time for me!!!
Sitting at the Delta Skyclub, as I wrapped up my office emails – I looked up at the display board to see if there was any delay in my flight. And sure enough – the top entry showed “Canceled”. The destination? Atlanta! The time of departure? 5:04!!
That is my flight 🙂
8 million miles later, I have figured out how to take these things in my stride. What I was curious about though is why I did not get a notification from Delta. Usually, they let me know how they have rebooked me. Checked on my phone and it said my flight was on time!!
Thoroughly confused, I went closer to the display board to check. And you can see what I am confused with even now…
2 different flights – same airlines – same destination – same time – one canceled and one on time! Luckily my number matched the one on time.
I looked up Delta’s website on the canceled flight number to see if it was delayed. I could not find any such flight today or tomorrow!!
I have no idea what happened here…
