What I can afford but not have now...

News from Saturday: A beggar left Rs 1 lakh to a nearby mosque after his death. Seems after his death, his neighbors collected money from the locality for carrying out his final rites. Afterwards, when they entered his house to clear his stuff, they found this amount of money in notes and coins….and a will bequeathing it to the local mosque.

Isn’t it great?

And I don’t have enough money to buy a house or car or even the entire collection of FRIENDS on DVD. Come to think of it I can’t even afford to buy the entire set of Asterix comics. Or maybe I can afford it, but I don’t want to spend on it right now. Now what else would I like to have & can afford but not ready to spend on it right away. Let’s see…there’s an i-Pod nano, BOSE speakers, DVD player... & a horde of other things….

Had lunch at The Nagarjuna Residency this Sunday afternoon. Vegetarian Andhra thali. Kind of strange for a stringent non-vegetarian like me…but I guess I need to give a break to my chicken diet every now and then. Food was good….the rice with ghee would definitely not be a great idea for my waistline and the chillies and gongura pickles have a tendency to cry foul the next morning….but what the heck…
Afterwards, Hot Chocolate Fudge (magnum) at Corner House was great. So much for the work-outs.

Ended the day by watching The Prestige – a brilliant movie with Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine. Yah...Scarlett Johansson was also there in the movie. Liked Christian Bale a lot in this one ....amazing actor. And Michael Caine is anyway above all the praise and tributes.
