Took these pictures at Isabelle et Vincent(Fairfield, CT), an old-school French bakery run by the brilliant chocolatier- Vincent Koenig. Like their stuff? You can order online here. Thanks to Neha and Srini for suggesting that we go there!

A dear friend told me she was sick of my ‘new-yorker length(length, not worthy!) rants’ and that she would stop reading my blog if I didn’t cheer up a bit!!
I agree, I should be a little more conscious of my reader demographics. So here goes!
I think the bokeh is almost as awesome as the the kitten is cute.

To start off, here’s a bunch of images from a recent trip to San Francisco.

Our golf days have an inviolable pattern: I get owned on the first nine holes! Embarrassingly, I’m almost always down by a number in the high single digit territory. Then there’s breakfast, soda and the obligatory fight-back. At close, I’m generally trailing Raza by 5, and poorer by a few balls sacrificed to driver-fade, or waterlogging at the 2nd.
Yesterday was different!
Gaurav and Manav joined in for a slack round, interrupted by conversations that were not centered around the Gaussian copula function. Those two had to leave for meetings after nine, I suspect they decided they were better CEOs than golfers! Because me and Raza are not CEOs ( just brilliant golfers!!), we continued to concentrate on the task at hand.
As we walked up to the eighteenth (par 4), I was back by two. Raza went first and hit a mean driver that went 250-275 yards. A few shots later, the day ended with my pressure putt, a 13 foot downhill shot to hold par. Raza, went two over on the hole and there it was-my Tin Cup moment, we were quits for the day!
Take up golf, it can be humbling. And that, sometimes, is a good thing!
Derived wisdom: If you’re basing your flight option calls on ‘who acquiesces to carry my golf-kit, gratis?’. You’re dangerously close to losing your job.

Clearly, I had a lot of spare time in Dubai!
Here’s a time-lapse video from my ride on the swanky new metro system. Shot with a pocket Zi6 and edited on the aircraft tray-table (Yes, I have a legit copy of Premiere CS4 lying around on my notebook?!!!). The output is a bit grainy. Gotta say, it does seem deliberate in places. Enjoy!

Are you a PC?
Option A) Yes!
Option B) No, Mac! I like making home movies that nobody ever watches.
Option C) I like to complicate my life, I’m on Solaris. And, I got dumped last week!
I’m sold on CPB’s brilliant I’m a PC offensive, what’s your answer?
The photoblog post for today is now up, here!
