2th December 2013 to 8th December 2013.



Happy birthday Moni!
Normally , Dhwani or Muskan remember the birthdays and make the announcement in morning. Please call and say ‘Happy Birthday’. This year they failed to remind me on 3rd.  So to compensate, you are the first person, who has received Birthday wishes on Blog. Rejoice.

Muskan has become fully involved in Xrbia. She is full filling her quota of verbal discharge by making calls to Xrbia prospects. I must give her credit for her stamina. Wow, how can she talk continuously for hours on mobile. We started in Xrbia this month with positive strike. Hope this month gives good results.

Dhwani – Kashyap are in full form, busy with working on 5 wedding projects. Shooting completed of One, second going on and rest in line.They have sort of formed a structure. Interviews, Functions Coverage, Favorite Song, Pre-shoot and Good shots.

Visit to Mall for Groceries buying.


When we shifted to Pune, Kashyap & Myself will visit Vishal Mega Mart for groceries shopping. We saved some money in discounts, did some shopping. Otherwise ‘Ganesh’ is always there. We had made it into a well organized routine. One Sunday, go to mall in afternoon with last list. Repeat the pattern. We never bothered to check offers, rates, various options.

Then Muskan came. She wants to visit different Mall every month. In this process we have visited Big Bazar – APMC Market – Vishal – More - Spenser – Reliance Mart – Phenix Mall. She looks for free offers, but rarely changes brands! Whereas Dhwani will always go for experimental product range, Muskan will remain struck to well beaten path. If we use Dove, it is always Dove Soap. I like to try some experiments is food department. Otherwise I use same tooth paste [Mishwak], same soap [Mysore Sandlewood], same oil [parachute] for ages.

We mostly buy two trolley loads of goods. One trolley is filled with Washing - Cleaning soaps. This trolley is practically same every month, in terms of quantity and in terms of brands. Second is filled with eatables. This trolley keeps changing. But we have developed a balance of buying Biscuits, Tea, Dairy Products, Sauce, Atta, Soups etc. I have noticed had we tent to buy new products whose advertisement was seen last night, such is the impact of advertisement.

What is our bill range? If we have to buy Oil, (Which we do in alternate visits), bill comes in range of 5500 plus, otherwise it is around 5000. 

Buying bread or calling for bread makes lot of difference. One, the cost difference is 4 rupees. Secondly, bread is something which we eat, if it is around, so many times we just eat it as it is most covenant food. Same goes for the biscuits, ‘Kacharpati’ etc. I have noticed that for weeks I can go without and when they are around, I think, why I have not missed them! Confusing, isn’t it.

आज का दिन बीजेपी का खास दिन हो सकता है। 

Today, 4 north state election results will be out. Congress is routed, BJP is strong, but not in a way as expected, Regional parties will play a good roll.
