Oh yeah I totally forgot to mention.
I got a Canon while in Tokyo. Not just any Canon though, a nice little 400D SLR. I <3 it so.
Now I just have to learn to use the thing lol.
Tokyo Trip Day Three (Pics)
Thanks to the brilliance that is Air India and it’s 12 Hour Flight delays, I got a little bit more time in Tokyo. Day three!

Pictures from the Flickr Meetup Delhi
So I just got back from the Flickr Meetup here in Delhi.
Very well organised event. Amazing work put up too. Admittedly I felt quite amateur-ish walking around with my Nokia N86 among a crowd of people sporting DSLRs lol.

Blackouts and Candles
Ah another day another thing falling apart. We had a blackout in the late evening today.
And… and…. and our Power Backup decided to go Kaput. Time to break out the Candles.
Luckily a friend of mine gave me this neat Giant Ekram Candle for Diwali. I’d normally keep these kinda things, them being precious and special and all. But I figured “Hey its going to sit alone and gather dust unless I use it” lol.
And yes, these pictures were taken on a Nokia N97. Ha just had to plug that in.
Needless to mention, the power came back in about an Hour. And there I was with a gazillion pics of Candles and Flames.
Eesh. I need help.
389 Pictures
Eeeeek Today I took 384 Pictures in just 4 short hours. At the rate I’m going I’m never going to be able to upload and blog about them !
What series of incidents lead to this many images ?
Well simple. I went to the Kuwait Towers, which is basically a huge Tourist attraction here, and as usual I went picture crazy. My N82 became freakkin hot because I had GPS and the accelerometer constantly being used, along with the camera. Also the 50 Degree C Kuwaiti heat did not help things either.
Nonetheless the N82 lasted about 4 hours on that, with the backlight on maximum brightness. Gotta love that camera-phone.
Now I have to get on watermarking those pics and uploading them all up. Egads.
And on the Twelfth Day, Teh Cj Rested
Egads. After days of running around, hanging out with friends, and generally being way too busy, I finally had absolutely nothing to do today haha.
So what did I do today then ? Well I slept.
Ah and such a good sleep it was. I was so pooped from all the crazy fun I had in the last couple of days that I really needed a good “day of sleep”.
I swear my bed is way more comfortable than it looks btw.
Today I checked out Diet Pepsi here in Kuwait.
Why does the can have flowers and butterflies all over it ? I want MANLY DIET PEPSI thank you !
Meh. What can I say ? Tastes like Diet Pepsi would lol.
Also bought a Lion Bar.
I used to love these when I was a kid. Dont quite know why, they dont taste that great lol.
Oooh and artsy picture of the day. Fils y’all :
The local coins of Kuwait. The picture didnt turn out anywhere as good as I hoped it’d be. I blame the lighting lol.
So there you have it. Finally a day of sweet nothingness. Of course I did step out with a couple pals to get some Pani Puri (is that how you spell it?) with them earlier in the evening. Funny how I’d rather die that eat that back in India, but here it’s aite 
Haha.
That’s all folks !
Adventure Gear Shop in Udupi
Ha ! I could hardly believe my Eyes. Apparently there’s a newly (4 months old) opened Adventure Gear shop here in Udupi.
Their location couldnt be worse (Its deep in, somewhat near to the Woodlands Restaurant) so they didnt really have many customers in there. They had everything from Adventure backpacks, to gear like ropes, etc. Not too much stuff but good enough.
I looked all over for a proper Adventure gear shop when I was backpacking around India last year. Nice to see a shop like this. Dont think it’ll last long though, because of their bad location.
Buy Fairness Cream, Get Free Coke ?
Here’s the latest in “Strange deals from Big Bazaar Udupi”. Buy one tube of Fairness Cream, get a free coke.
Srsly, Wtf ? Who thought that up lol.
“Oh Fair people must drink coke so they’ll love to get one free !”
PhotoLog Post : All the Pretty Colors
Random Colors from lights, on the Dancefloor at the SkyLounge Club in Manipal. I think it came out pretty well 
Tommy’s Pre-Birthday Dinner
Well yesterday turned out to be a fun Friday evening. Tommy‘s Birthday was coming up (its actually today, Happy Birthday Tommy!), and we figured we’d suprise him with some cake. With the limited choices that are available in Manipal, we picked up one from Cafe Coffee Day.
Babz and I also picked up some samosas while we were there, but we haz no pictures of the mosas 
PhotoLog Post : More Kittens
So apparently all the Cats in this town keep having their Kittens in my backyard. Saw these 2 new ones yesterday.
I’d be tempted to play with them if their stoopid mom cat would only stop hissing at me every bloody time I pass by it.
PhotoLog Post : Hypno-Cat !
Crazy Neighbour’s cat keeps hanging around our House.
Dayum, look at those eyes y’all. It’s Hypno-Cat !
Checking out Flava’09
Yesterday was the annual Flava Food Fest over here in Manipal. The whole shindig is pretty cool, with different stalls offering different food from all over India.
