We have created a new product. A slight variation of the Sari Bracelet and if you liked those then this one may make your knees jingle jangle in excitement.
The new product will be shown at the next trade fair in June. Those of you who visit me there are welcome to a free sample.
Today Manoj (friend from Pondicherry, see yesterdays blog) arrived-ill. He's got chicken-goonia. Sounds bad doesn't it. Well i can confirm he looks just as bad (see photo). Infact it's similar to a very bad case of flu. He rested in his room most of the day while i went to see Prasad.
Prasad is already on the case with regards to finding the workers.It all looks very promising.
Woke up this morning to the sound of prayers in the mosque. Very foreign. You know you are not in Arundel West Sussex when the voices start whining over the out of date loud speakers. One thing about staying in the muslim quater is sometimes you don't sleep so much. This is not just true of the muslim areas. My wife and i once lived by a church in Pondicherry, every morning 5.30am children singing on the extremely crackly and extremely loud, loud speakers, it was far from a heavenly experience, in the end we had to move house.
Prasad's wife has kindly invited me for dinner on thursday. I accepted and look forward to it. I had a choice- "Fully veg or Veg and mutton". I will tell you about it on thursday. Funnily enough this wasn't the only invite for the day. The very good tut tut driver invited me to a party with him and his mates. He said "We drink and smoke and play tabla (instrument) in my friends jewellery shop". The reply was negative, chelsea are playing arsenal tonight on ESPN.
Good evening England. Come on you Blues !
