Had an amazing day today. Highlights - my manager finalized the project that I'll work on during the summer internship, I watched a 4-D movie, had a ride on a Ricksha, came back a bit early from office and took a nap and have now found time & interest to write something for my hungry blog! The only thing which I am still missing is pani-puri, called as gol-gappe in Delhi. I did try for it twice, but on one occasion, I did not have change, and on another, I couldn't find a pani-puri-wala despite walking a kilometer. It gets so damn frustrating at times, when you don't get pani-puri when you want it.

Won't talk about my project coz a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which I am yet to sign, will soon bind me from talking anything about it. It does seem interesting. Particularly the part which has been newly assigned to me.

The 4D movie was great. If you are wondering what 4D is, it's 3D movie plus an added dimension of physical experience created by stuff happening in the movie hall - like your chairs shaking, moving up and down, air blowing from somewhere, water sprinkled on you as an elephant points its trunk on your face, things tickling you here and there... all based on what's going on in the movie, such that you become a part of it, experiencing what's happening in there. It's interesting. It's fun. It was a short 20 minute animated movie about a guy who discovered Tokla Temple built in ancient times. The guy had to fight the Aborigines. The Tokla Temple was inside a cave which collapsed soon after it was discovered. The hero somehow manages to escape. The name of the movie was The Lost Island. A must see!

We watched the movie at Spice Mall near office. The Ricksha ride to Spice mall from the office and back was joyful and short. The Rickshas in Delhi are relatively new, light-weight and more efficient than the ones in the rest of India.

While coming back, we had all had Cornettos. Amit Vatsa's b'day treat! All of us had the same flavour - Black Forrest Flirt!
