About Today

So came to office early in the morning today at around 10:00. There was no problem in booking the cab. There was another cab waiting for me to take me to an event in Lalit. I came to office, quickly filed a copy, and caught the cab. 

On the way, a Microsoft embargoed story came up, that I quickly did and scheduled for 12:00. The sun was too bright and overpowering the screen, so I struggled in the cab a bit, but I got it done. Had to swap out the images later at the event. 

The event was great, got to know the whole development of technological banking infrastructure in the country. 

1987 - the first ATM launched in India

1990 - Credit Cards introduced in India

2002 - Internet banking gets introduced

2010 - Mobile Banking gets introduced

The food was particularly good because they had kosambri! Two other journos asked me why I was having kosambri and I explained that it is a native dish that is not easily available in Delhi. So they also ate and enjoyed! Was fun, there was Abhinav from Times who was supposed to come back with me, but he booked his own cab as he had to make a couple of pit stops. I was happy to learn that the guy liked my DVDs as well as the Dmystify supplement that I wrote for Digit. 

A couple of days ago at the Asus event there was this irritating guy who was constantly doing plich plich with his tongue while I was taking photos. Dude wait a bit lol I just need five minutes, then you take as many photos as you want how you want. But he didnt do that I think he wanted to needle me haha. 

I came back to work, and belted out more copies, mostly for IIT Bombay and IIIT Hyderabad. Was a good day, now headed back home early.
