I guess I deserved that..

My flight this morning was horribly late and I gave up all hopes of going back home to change and went straight to office in jeans and my printed shirt (see pic) to some hilarious effects.
The classiest one was from Dudley – “Boss, the 70s called. They want their shirt back” ๐Ÿ™‚

The Indomitable Nikita !!

If you know me even in the passing, you probably know that I make friends with anybody and everybody ๐Ÿ™‚ I always am curious to know the background, likes, dislikes, aspirations and so on of anybody I meet. Now, this habit of me making friends with total strangers in cabs, hotels, airports, bars, coffee shops and so on and then adding them on Facebook so I can continue to be in touch with them is utterly ridiculed and often outright trashed by my wife and daughters.

Nikita always warns me of “Stranger danger” – like I am a eight year old like her.

But the following conversation on Saturday was too hilarious. We had just come out of the restaurant where I made friends with this particularly nice server who has great aspirations in his life. Anyways, back in the car, Niki asked “Why do you make friends with everybody”? I said “Life is too short not to make friends”. Her immediate retort was “Yeah, and life is not a Facebook webpage either”.

I was totally stumped. ๐Ÿ™‚

Fjords!

Every time I come to Europe, I am taken in by its beauty. Today – a rare sunny day in London – was no exception. And every time I come to London, I am reminded of the English lad – Adrian Mole’s description of the beauty of another part ofย Europe – Norway. (the book was called “The growing pains of Adrian Mole, aged thirteen and a half” by Sue Townsend, I think).
