Made lauki cofta and roti for lunch... cofta were ok but looks like I will have to add some water to the sabzi for the next time...

Went to bday party in the evening and before that had to go to mall to buy the gift bag... first i bought it from target at around 3$ and then while returning to the car I realized that mall also has a dollar store... then went and bought 1$ gift bag from dollar store and returned the one bought from target...

In the evening got a call from Sachin that he is going for bheza fry part 2 night show... I know that reviews of part 2 are not that good but still i agreed to the plan because its been a very long time since I watched late night show...I hope I will not sleep in the movie... For this reason I asked Sachin to pick me from my place...

Day 19

Today is friday so I will be working from home... I also have a dentist appt in the afternoon and then batchlors party at night...So far deepak and sachin have confirmed...

I had home made roti for the first time since Richa left... It was OK... looks like I have to put some efforts in making roti..

Went for Dentist appt and came back around 2... Started cooking for dinner... will be cooking paneer potato tots and biryani...

Sachin came around 6:30 and deepak came around 7.. They had beer mostly but I restricted myself to a glass of wine.... had a wonderful time with them...

Day 17 + Day 18

These 2 days were very normal..nothing major happened except that on Wednesday (Day 17) I was called for a dinner by a kannad friend of mine... I already told him not to cook any north indian food as i want to taste real authentic kannad food.

Started the evening with south indian coffee... Believe me or not south indian girls have something in there hand to make Yummy coffee....

His wife made kannad style dosa + sambhar, special kind of kannad pulav called puliograh, daal salad (I hate salad when real food is there), raita , curd rice, sweet dish.

Had a half glass of wine with my friend along with dinner. I was not planning to drink but came to know that he generally drink and will not drink without me...

Thursday was very normal.. Had a headache so made maggi in dinner by adding paneer, tomato...

Friday would be little different as I called few friends of mine at home for evening party... I will be making paneer potato tots and biryani....obviously there would be wine and beer along with food... I will restrict myself for one glass of wine only...

Day 16

Again had littlebit sleep problem in the night... Finally decided that enough is enough ... Now i have to see the Dr to make sure everything is OK with lungs and it is just allergy which is giving me rough nights... Days are fine...

Got ready by 7 AM and had some time so gave water to the lawn... looks like tomato/gobhi plants are growing good... mirch and bellpeper is still struggling to grow...

had tea + toast in the breakfast and packed rasam + rice for the lunch...

Came to office and took appointment for wednesday to see the Dr.

Had coffee in the office after a long time with my manager....

Will go home and go to Costco as I am invited for dinner at Vinod's place tomorrow. I already told vinod not to cook north indian food.... I want to eat authentic karnataka style food....

Will buy something for his daugter from costco....

Waaooooo... I played table tennis in office.. i was playing almost after 3.5 years... office has a table and I was thinking that we have to buy our own bats but noticed that bats are there to play... Now will try to play sometime in office...

This evening i called Sachin to check if he is free and we can have dinner together....He agreed and said that he cooked chola and he can get that... i told no, i will cook something... I went and picked him from his house and we went to lowes and costco.... when we came back I cooked plain kadhi + aaloo tamatar sabzi... Sachin helped me getting the aaloo cut for the sabzi... i cooked both the things in parallel in about 20 min... after that kadhi was boiling to get some flavor...
In the mean time i also soaked rice to eat with kadhi..

His brother in law also came and then we started searching for some movie to play... we finally settled for "khosla ka ghosla"... around 8:30 PM i started making roti (used rotiland ready to eat roti)... we had our dinner by 9 PM and finished the movie after dinner...
it was overall a different evening... i had roti for the first time Richa left for India... most of the time i cook paratha for some reason...
