…in Wolken verschwunden?
Well, that's German… from St. Matthew's Passion (which, incidentally, I adore). So, I woke up day before yesterday at something dreadfully early like five wanting a drink of water, and when I was going back to sleep, I heard thunder - lots of it. Thunder has completely astereotypical connotations here in Delhi (at least for me) - instead of fear, it incites excitement and joy. I was like "It's going to rain! Brilliant." and I went back to sleep with the melodious sound of lightning and the sweet pattering of rainfall. Most amazing. And then it happened again the next day. Wow, rain is so good… Right now, Delhi is back to the normal "hot at night, hot during the day" weather. Sunny skies predicted for the rest of… well, a large part of this year and most of the next too.
Oh, and I went to the post office today. I had to send a little package out and I didn't care how it traveled as long as it reached and they were like "Speed Post?". Speed Post usually makes me think of big sums of money and so I said I didn't need it and then they told me that Registered Post was actually going to cost more than Speed Post because the mail is weighed at 25g intervals in Registered Post whilst it's weighed at 100g intervals in Speed Post (remember that!). So, I ended up paying a mere Rs. 68 ($1.48) for a 380g package all the way to Hyderabad and it's going there by air AND is expected to reach tomorrow. That is just cool.
OK, and one thing I found out today? So, as you might not have guessed, my gymming adventures have not yet ceased, and today I thought I'd weigh myself before and after on this lovely digital scale they have with accuracy up to the second digit after the decimal. After doing whatever one does at the gym, I came out to find myself about 500g lighter and I was totally amazed. I had no idea there was such a direct correlation! Of course, since there was more than 500g of eating to be done during the day, actual weight loss is not that quick. However, it was still amazing to me that the effects were this instantaneous. Something must be fishy.
Anyway, I'm going to Not Just Paranthas (yeah, like that's good for weight loss) tomorrow followed by Pyaar Ke Side Effects at, of all places, PVR Gurgaon! Just couldn't get tickets at PVR Saket. I tried to book the tickets three times and their online reservation coughed up errors and, each time I tried, our potential seats had been bumped up one row nearer to the screen, which basically demonstrated the alarming rate at which the seats for this movie (which just opened today) were filling up. I checked twenty minutes later (I was beckoned for lunch in the middle of this) and it was House Full. Well, there was actually one seat in a little corner somewhere left, but yeah…
All this made me discover PVR's revamped reservation system though, in which they let you see the map of the entire theatre and pick exactly which seats you want. I think it's pretty neat. The Premier seats get filled up really quickly because they're Rs. 175 (at S'ket) as compared to Rs. 160 for Normal seats and so not much more expensive.
Also, I'm going to be in Himachal Pradesh for one entire day (Sunday).
