Niki vs Siri
It was barely 5:30 am and I was enjoying my coffee watching the rain when Nikita walks down the staircase from her bedroom, my iPhone in her hand, complaining “Siri is mean”! Apparently, first thing in the morning, she asked her “Am I awesome” and Siri politely answered “I cannot answer that” 🙂 And with that, we are off to a flying start to this Sunday!!

Mother’s day!
Usual Sunday watering hole with Sharmila for Mother’s Day dinner. Instead of fancy tables, we decided to sit at our usual bar chairs chatting with the staff. So far, one guy fell and cracked his head (paramedics and fire engine here), one table had a proposal (successful) and one table had a candle overturned on the tablecloth!!! 🙂 To think, I was the one who over drank tonight 🙂 🙂

Drones!
A CNN headline report this evening starts this way – “Two suspected U.S. drone strikes killed 11 al-Qaeda militants in southern Yemen on Saturday, Yemeni military officials said.”
There is an irony when Yemen military “suspects” that it is a US drone but is absolutely sure that those killed are al-Qaeda militants 🙂

Tabla
Two hours of playing the tabla (Indian drums) with Bihu songs. These are songs popular in Assam (northeast India) – usually sung this time of the year (spring). My sister used to excel in this style – 30 years back. Last time I accompanied her on the tabla was 20 years back. How I wish she was here thus evening instead of half a world away….

Flattery
After my morning run, I was enjoying my Starbucks and stretching. Suddenly, I hear this “excuse me sir”. Expecting to be asked for directions, I look up and see this young guy who asked “how long does it take to be flexible like that”? I am like “Yesss… Take that Roger Whitney, for calling me old” 🙂 Anyways, I had to wait till he got into the car before I could groan from all those pulled muscles from over stretching 🙂 🙂
