Some window dressing…

After the run, I went out for a walk with Sunil, both of us duly accompanied with our respective glasses of wine. We were busy discussing the intricacies of the “bin-packing” algorithm when we got caught by some quick, sharp showers. Not having too many options, we just shoehorned ourselves into the narrow window openings of a building and continued with our wine and discussions! I don’t think the algorithm got any better 🙂

I need to meet my kindergarten teacher..

Once in my kindergarten class, we were asked to draw houses. At a very early age, I had shown unambiguous signs of utter lack of artistic talents. That particular day, I drew ten boxes (purportedly houses 🙂 ) and colored them each with different colors. I was certainly constrained by the fact that I had only ten crayons with me 🙂 My teacher, thoroughly unimpressed with my sense of conformity, gave me some gentle reminders that I should not feel compelled to use up all my colors 🙂

Next time I see her, I will ask her to visit an island called Burano off Venice 🙂

I wonder if Romeo was aware of this….

… found some interesting notes on the board signifying Juliet’s house in Verona while waiting outside for the family and friends to come out of the historical house of Juliet of the famous Romeo and Juliet fame!!

In case you had not guessed it already, “Casa Di Giulietta” is Italian for “Juliet’s house”
