Game-For-Life?

ok, so for the first time in eight months i am back on the blogosphere. It is 1045 pm approx and I just landed up in the queue to meet Lalbaghcha Raja, the most famous of the Ganpati mandals in Mumbai.

on my way here, i realised a few humbling things in life. The most queer of them forms the caption of this blogpost… Ganpati season is when mumbai meets.

Finally, I wont have to get an irritating phonecall or 2 or 3 a day from ICICI Bank or their agencies trying to pitch me a credit card when I already owe them quite a bit of money so nice of em!for once, if they mean it, god bless them!
