Mr Krishna

Mr Krishna was calling ..

I had barely opened my eyes and switched on the lights when the phone rang ..

(Veering off course a little here ..) In this really cool room, I have this really fancy remote thing-y that switches off the lights or dims it to your liking... Cool! Usually the good hotel rooms have light switches near your bed which can switch off certain lights or a master switch that turns off all the lights which is great. Unless you're in the US / San Francisco to be exact.. you have to go to every single switch / light to turn it off... Walk to the passage, switch light off. Walk to the toilet, switch light off. Walk to the desk, switch light off. Walk to the standing light, switch light off. Walk to bed (finally!!), switch off bedside lamp. Phew! What a stupid system, right? And to think that you have to do the reverse when you wake up!! So usually, I just fall asleep with all the lights on! Haha!

Anyway, the phone rang and the caller ID read "Mr Krishna". I didn't know a Mr Krishna. I was in Dubai and I was a little apprehensive in picking up unknown numbers. But it could have been a wrong number and we were staying at the Angsana so certainly no riff-raff here! I picked up and it turned out to be my colleague. I know him as Viviek. He wasn't feeling so good so he wasn't coming back with us. Poor guy - he'll be celebrating his New Year here in Dubai all alone instead of at home with friends and family.

So Mr Krishna, Happy New Year and get well soon! Hare Hare :o)
