A little here, a little there.

Tuesday fell on the day of my B'Day, which was spent rather enjoyably. The afternoon and the evening were spent shaking a leg or two with a couple of friends in Basant Lok's RPM. I also got the pleasure of watching Casino Royale, which I don't see myself reviewing in the near future; although I must say that it is rather good. The night was spent dining at Vasant Kunj's Grand Hyatt with my parents (since there were only three of us, we decided on a large pastry to act like the "cake" and it was very tasty). Along with that, there were SMSes wishing me "Happy B'Day" to be reciprocated and I happily did this little nicety.

That's that about the 21st. Let me move onto the consequent days that composed mainly of filling the learner's license forms, getting the photocopies of the passport attested and finally rushing off to the Transport Department's office only to find that the timings of its operation as stated on its website are stark deceiving since any apathetic observer would think that if the office remained open from 9:30am to 4:30pm (as mentioned on the website) then he would stand a chance of getting his application submitted, his learner's license test taken and in 2 hrs get his license stamped and ready to be abused. But, the bespectacled royalties sitting on the other side of the counter have a completely different mind-set encoded into their limbic brains. According to them, if I want to "gat yaar leesance" then I have to submit my application before 1pm since their "bank claasis at van pm"; so, a person like me who usually tends to follow logical deductions based on the information already present would think it to be safe to reach the TransDept office by 1:15pm and get everything done in 2-3 hrs. And since that's not how stuff works, I need to go to the "leesance aaphice" again tommorrow and reach there by noon.
