The Search Just Ended...

• Yipee, the search for the replacement to the work-horse mobile of mine just ended today! Shubhangi and self spent the day on the Malls of Gurgaon the whole day to zero onto the new replacement. 
• I would like HTC to take note of the old customer retainership policy of theirs, as the older HTC (P3400i) will watch a HTC WildFire pickup the next call to me...

Trip to the Jain Temple!

• It was a unplanned trip to the local Jain temple. The late night @ the mandir the previous night (...celebrating Janamashtami) had taken its toll on the kids - the first of the '...good morning' air-ed from them only past 9 AM!
• The sky was overcast and a glance of the future - on my HTC whether app - agreed with the status from the window sill... but you are yet to meet a Deshpande whose spirits got dampened by the rain or humidity!
