Two friends are returning back to Chennai today

I was busy last weekend. Didn't get any time for reading, browsing and blogging. Saturday morning i prepared chicken curry. so, lunch was good..:). Today ( Monday ) two of my friends are returning back to India. Their project got descoped without any previous notice. So, for them it was a very surprise news..and very sad news too. Actually one of them reached Ottawa last weekend only. Only one week stay in Ottawa. Again, their laptops got disfunctional this weekend. It is not booting. So, spent a lot of time to recover the system back..We didn't have XP Installation CD. Last , got it from friends. It was not bootbale. Then made it bootable. But no use..IT guys of our company created administrator password for both laptops..:) So, no way to recover the ssytems. Last we got the important files by putting one linux CD and mounting the windows File system.

Sunday roamed around in downtown. Visited Winterlude. It was awesome..especially the sculpturs made using snow. Again, i used my camera after 4 weeks. It is very useful actually. Handy too.. The model is Canon SD1000. I bought it from Ottawa, during Boxing week. It costed 189 $ for me. But wherever we are going, we can keep in our pocket. I will upload the snaps in my picasa album soon. After roaming around for some time in city , we went for Lunch buffet, ofcourse in an Indian restauarant, Haveli. The food was good. This is the second time we are going to the same place. There are two reasons. Buffet is there on Sundays too, then Masala Dosa is available there. Didn't get the time for usual weekend shopping itself.

In the coming 20 days in Ottawa, only two guys will be there in Mckellars 605( This is where i am staying). In the last 5 months, always some 4 -5 guys were here. Now only 20 days in Ottawa. Have to do some shopping. So, in the coming weekends too i will be busy..:) This week, planning to write some techblogs and have to write some posts in indiavision too.

Didn't you try "Coconut Lagoon". Its a Malayali restaurant. We get brown rice there.

Its a bit far though. You have to reach St' Laurents and then again has to catch another bus.

BTW, this was the story one year back :-)

Well, we ( Myself,Ajith and KD )liked a lot. I don't know how the food is currently.

I remember, the first plan for most of the weekends for us was Coconut Lagoon :-)
