The fail-safe cow & other modern day wonders

I just moved to a one-bedroom apartment in the western sububs.
Hand in hand with the thrill came the fatigue and a 'too lazy to start the day' feeling!
You know, the kind of thing that makes you switch off the alarm at 6.30 am and say 'a few minutes more...' :)
On day one, that's what happened.
In that half-asleep state, I was jolted awake at exactly 6.50 am by the loud moo-ing of a cow right in front of my building.
I stepped through the morning with an ironic feeling: a rooster to start the day - okay. A cow - wow!

What's more - it happened again on day 2! Dot 6.50 am. I thought to myself: wow, a failsafe cow! Its better than keeping an alarm in the next room.

And then on day 3 something unexpected happened. Cyclonic weather causing rains through the night and early morning - in September! What can I say - its Mumbai! And err... that morning the cow didn't moo.
Just when I was getting used to the whole concept. :-P
Talk about reliability!

Context switch... Stepped into Croma Belapur today. Its one electronics megastore I both love & fear. :)
The latest & best gadgets from everywhere - requires a conscious exercise of strong-willed restraint to avoid the eventuality of filing for Chapter 11! Anyway I saw this ultra portable armpit computer (9 inch laptop if you prefer) and was blown away. Talk about flexibility on the road! The things money can buy these days. I need a rich wife :P
