time to shut down shop

Despite wasting half my week downloading disk images, i managed to complete all objectives.  Huzzah.  Now i get to fly back and continue taking Malarone (yes, yes, LOL, i know) for another week.

Coming to India and not having lentils is like going to New York and not having pizza.  Since the latter happened to me the last time i went to NY, i had to make sure it didn't happen to me again, so today at lunch i made a point to order some, and got some delicious dal makhti along with the rest of lunch (which included garlic naan... mmmmmm).  I do have to say, though, that having everything quite spicy sure gets tiring after a few days.

OK, i hope traffic to the airport isn't too bad.

Malarone.
That one took a minute. And now I can't stop laughing.

Safe flight, my love.

Was the lentil shortage in evidence at all?

Were you working at the ITPL building in Whitefield?

(That was the largest "office park" type complex when I was there.)

Beat me to it. Apparently the Indian government has slapped an export ban on lentils and other pulses, to minimise domestic shortages. Me, I'm guarding my stash of lentils (3 types, last time I checked) and chickpeas jealously.

Nope, we have our own office building in, um, J. P. Nagar, i think.

Ah, so the problem is only elsewhere.

Very smart, that.

"Naan" is the Sanskrit word for "crack bread".

I believe.
