Lazy weekend

The weekend's over, nothing worthwhile done. Played football on Saturday morning, a 4-a-side game. Ranjeet, Atul, Abhishek, Sagar, Amit and 2-3 others were there. Promised them that I would show up on Sunday for the UU game. Did absolutely nothing other than play compie the rest of the day. Aai had been telling me for the last 2 weeks to get the new cordless fixed. Well, it's not actually a new one. I brought it when I came back last January, and it hasn't been used since. Hence new.

After putting it off for so long, I finally went to the tele shoppe. I also carried along the handset of the old cordless. I first showed the guy at the shop this piece, asking for new batteries since the voice was coming out too low. He said it might be a problem with the speaker of the earpiece, and he couldn't test it without having the base unit. So I would have to get that and come back. I showed him the new one. It turned out that this piece wasn't working because the handset and the base unit were not speaking to each other with the same code. He would have to tinker around with it, and so he kept it with him. I went back home and got the base unit of the old phone. The guy confirmed that it was a problem with the speaker, and kept that piece too. One week for the new phone, Tuesday for the old one.

The alarm went off at 7 today, but I slept on. Atul called up around 8:15 asking if I was coming. Had to say no because it was too late. AJ called up at 9:30 with some good news. He's getting engaged. After eliminating most of the prospective girls just by looking at their photos and educational background, he had finalized three. He met all of them, and seemed to be very impressed by one of them. So he consented to go ahead with the match. The engagement will be held sometime in the coming week. There's not much time as he's leaving next Saturday.

In the evening I went out to get fresh pairs of undergarments. It's been 3.5 years since I last shopped for undergarments. That was in 2001, when I was preparing to leave the country for my MS.

The week ahead is not too appealing for me. Most likely, I'll have to work on the damned PI stuff. I've dedicated an entire post ranting about the PI, so best not to repeat it here.
