BONES!

Except for two to three nights of late night fireworks we had another good week.  I feel much better than what I did last weekend.  There is a function area in our gated community where we live and they host weddings once every now and then.  We don't hear anything normally but sometimes they get overboard with fireworks and then it goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Teresa had a lunch and movie with the team in India on Monday.  They went to the IMAX Theater and watched Fast and Furious 5 and afterwards went out for lunch.  They went to some place that was similar to the place we had lunch at this Sunday. 

On Tuesday evening we had an opportunity to have dinner with one of the visitors from Nashville and his wife.  We went to the Golden Dragon in the Taj Krishna Hotel and the food was really good.  We will be going there again sometime soon.

Teresa had lots of lunch and dinner parties she had to attend, she also had a Management Dinner on Wednesday at the Westin.  That left me home alone till late so I took a trip to Beyond Coffee for dinner.  I ended up having a quiet dinner by myself and finished off a big chunk of the book I am currently reading on our Kindle.

Our driver requested the day off on Saturday and since he pretty much works seven days a week permanently we try and plan our weekends to accommodate the off day.  We ended up doing about nothing on Saturday except for catching up on the latest season of Bones.  Somebody working with Teresa emailed us a link for watching some shows online and it works.  I have tried a couple of websites but they are mostly blocked in India.  We ended up watching twelve episodes on Saturday until two in the morning Sunday.  We will be watching a couple more on Sunday evening.

Somebody told us during the week that we should try out "The Great Kebab Factory" and we went there on Sunday for lunch.  It was ok but don't think we will be going there again soon.  It was a little expensive for the amount of food we ate and it was not that good.  There was a lot of food but we could not eat that much.  It is a set menu and you pretty much eat whatever they have available.  You start off with different kebabs and go on to a main course that consisted of Biryani and finish with some desert.  Afterwards we went to Beyond Coffee to go and watch the Banjara Hillbillies play.
