Pirates Ahoy

I have been quite bemused with all media attention on Chetan Bhagats Twitter comments. He ticked off a journalist for making a sort of pro piracy comment and now he has the media jungle breathing down his back. My sympathies are with CB. It was his twitter page and honestly I think he had a point. But this post isn't about piracy of books.
It is about a rather unique form of piracy I came across.

Coming back from a weekend trip to Coorg, we stopped over at a Coffee day. Half way through our coffees we realized it wasn't a coffee day in the first place. Everything from the logo colors, waiter's outfits, deco to even the patterns on the biscuit tins had been copied from CCD. But apparently they had nothing to do with them.

I know imitation is the best form of flattery but this was piracy at its heights!

Love actually

A friend of mine once told me that love is actually all around you. You just have to open your eyes. The last weekend showed me that sometimes you dont have even have to open your eyes. Its hit you in your face.

On Friday a friend of mine finally found true love and celebrated it with an engagement. Saturday and sunday was spent on a cheer up mission with a friend who is caught on the wrong side of love. A finally the grand finale to the long weekend was a play at Ranga Shankara (which by the way is an awesome place). And the play was (suprise suprise !) - a tragic love story! Love IS all around you!
