I started off the day with wishing Ritu , a happy marriage anniversary. It was Preeti's birthday too, and after I had wished her, she wished me happy anniversary too. Rangapisi too called up and wished both of us. Ma also wished us . Ritu's Baba who is in Barrackpore right now, also wished us a happy anniversary.
As for the breakfast, Ritu was lenient today in making luchi and cholar dal. I ate a lot of luchis, ( did not count the numbers) ; I like it very much. Sonamoni had luchi with mixed fruit jam. It was a nice breakfast to start the day .
Today we had planned to sort out the BSNL broadband issue, an erroneous bill of Rs. 30,000 had come, so we were supposed to meet the Area Manager (Indiranagar ) to sort it out. When we went to BSNL office it was around 11 :30 am , and the area manager had left. I then went to the Customer Relations Officer (CRO) and he said that the bill can not be waived of, only they can charge for the 2 days, according to the Home 250 plan. The bill for those 2 days was also coming at Rs. 6000+ ; the CRO said it can only be waived off if the DGM approves it.
We checked with an auto rickshaw for the route, and we headed for the Telecom Bhavan on Ritu's Activa Honda. It took around 30 mins to reach there. I did not know the route, so we had to ask several persons to get the correct route.
The DGM was a nice person, he listened to us, but said he can not waiv it off. That was very unfortunate for us ; as we had only come here to get the waiver - now we needed to pay out Rs. 6000+ . Both of us did not like the idea at all , we could have done so many good things with the money.
While returning back home , we were passing through Shivajinagar, a market place for furnitures in Bangalore. We were planning to get a sofa set for quite sometime ; so today we stopped to check out one. After checking out various shops, we found one sofa set ( 3 + 2) at Rs. 11,000. The price was reasonable I guess compared to the other stuff which we had checked out - the other were mainly in the Rs 16K to Rs 19K range. We had liked one more nice fashionable set, but it was around Rs. 16,000 - but again that set was something which would have looked pretty nice for a second garden sofa - maybe we shall try that later. It was 4 pm .
Then we went back to BSNL, Indiranagar and paid the bill , which was now Rs. 10000 instead of the Rs. 30000, which we had initially received. We reached home around 5:45 pm .... whew .. a long journey.
Back home , we had paratha and chicken, ( Ritu was not fond of my paratha idea - as in the morning we had luchi ) , but however I got past Ritu to have some paratha. Both of us gobbled up quite a number, as we had only Pepsi and potato chips in between.
Then we took some rest, spent time with Sonamoni by playing with her, and addressing all her pranks. Ma was also assured that the BSNL issue had been solved.
We had told Sonamoni that we would taking her out for an auto ride - she went to Ritu and told , "Mmm , ta ta jabi , auto kore". Neither of us could ignore this small request from her, so after a photo session , - Maa took two of our snapshots - it was nice showing Maa how to take pictures. Ritu was wearing a Mysore Silk , Rangapishi had presented her this time , when she had gone to Dum Dum - she was looking gorgeous.
Ritu, Sonamoni and me took an auto rickshaw from our house to erstwhile Kempfort, which had been transformed to a shopping mall, Total. We took a round trip in an auto and got down at N.R. Layout - the auto rick took Rs. 50, but it our marriage anniversary and after all Sonamoni had asked for it - so there was nothing to think over.
After spending around 20 -30 mins in NR layout, we came back to home, only to get ready for the next day for office.
