Ok, I think we have it clear about our company now - we will be on official payroll for 2 months starting from Nov 1st, but the work will only start in January. This is as far as I know to be true and I got it from our GM himself. More on that as it develops. I has a beer & two rum + cokes at a bar on Mavur road with Shinoy. It was a nice evening spent and I did not mind that 80 bucks I had to shell out. Left me in a better mood. I though I would be really hungry after that, but as the food arrived I found out that I was not as hungry as I thought I would be. I also am listening to a lot of music, especially since I have no access to a television in Calicut. I got a selection recorded at a place over here - songs ranging from "This Note's For U" - Neil Young, "California Dreaming" - Mamma's & Pappas, "Jaded" - Aerosmith, "Change The World" - Eric Clapton" etc. The other one was the full CD of "A Change of Seasons" by one of the greatest bands ever - DREAM THEATRE. Their musical excellence is unmatched as a group - I can't name any other band who r as taleneted equally; every member is a master of his chosen instrument. Although this album is not as good as "Awake" or "Metroplis 2", u can hear a young band in the midst of emerging as excellent musical masters.
