The wait continues...

Nothing much to report here this week. Deepu returned on the 26th of April, and since then things have stabilized a bit. With the theatre scenario changing in Mangalore after the multiplex came up... we've been watching more movies. The latest being "Darna Zaroori Hai" and yesterday we almost made it to The Pink Panther... until Deepu opted out.
Needless to say that i've been waiting too long for my postings to come, almost about 2 1/2 months now.. and every day i get to hear that the orders'll be out this evening. With a coalition Government in the state... things were expected to be this bad. Nobody ready to take decisions. The whispers in the corridors of Vidhana soudha are that the Government will collapse with the first shuffle of official postings. So the wait continues... not that i'm fed up with my present disposition.. but because i want the inevitable to come thro & settle down quickly. Despite our stay here for a year and a half now... we hav'nt been able to make it to a few palces around Puttur. I think this week we should be trying to do that. Toping the list would be the Bekal Fort in Kasargod, Kerala which is about an hours drive from here (This fort shot to fame with Mani Rathnam's 'Bombay' where the song Uyire Uyire was filmed). The next on list would be St Mary's Island off the coast of Udipi. To begin with we managed to make it to the Beerumalai betta in Puttur [pic].
