Nothing ever happens in August.....

Have you ever dropped an air-conditioner out of a window? Its not fun. It makes a loud thudding noise and you know its never going to be fixed again, and you just threw 200$ out of the window. But then, have you ever had your super-excellent landlord fix it and install it back in the window where it belongs? And then after it works fine for 2 days, have you ever had an irate landlady come up to tell you you can't use it anymore because its leaking water into her wall? And then have you had to buy a new air-conditioner and have your super-nice landlord help you fix it? And then have you discovered 3 days later that the new air-conditioner leaks too? And then have you had to clean it out...spilling water over your floor and smelling your room up with a weird, mossy wet smell that won't go away for a week? And then have you had to fix it into the other window and keep your fingers crossed it doesn't leak this time around because you installed it tilting outwards? No? Oh, what a humdrum life you lead! Its been a week and I still have a yucky, wet smell in my room and I'm waiting for the air-conditioner to do something weird. Maybe it will do me a favor and give me Legionnaire's disease..

I can't wait for winter.

Also, there is a mouse in my house. I can handle mice in a controlled lab environment...not in the wild....and by wild, I mean my home.

On the bright side, I had the best email conversation I've had in months. Reproduced here for your benefit.

It all began with this innocent note sent by player A:

Kaminey! Apun ka agla target!

Have a happy working week :)

To which Player B, replies thusly:

I heard that there is a prequel planned for this..."Kutte" ;-p

And I (player C, of course!) couldn't resist:

And its being produced by Dharmendra:)

And then player D was forced to reply:

And the planned sequel to be directed by Ramsey brothers is named "Mein Tera Khoon Pe Jaoonga"

And so and so forth for 15 emails. Which resulted in players A and B watching Suryavanshi that night. And me youtubing every ghostly movie I could think of from Madhumati and Bees saal baad to Bees saal baad!

More than made up for bad days at work and air-conditioning woes and suchlike.
