Best buys and IPL brand obsession

The best thing about E-Zone, Indiranagar, Bangalore being right next to Unilet, Indiranagar, Bangalore is that E-Zone has a reasonably spacious parking area.:P We started hunting for two of our bigger buys at E-Zone on two different occasions and the terrible service and downright daft CSAs pissed us off both times. Uniltet on the other hand not only helped us buy the best product, but also floored us with their salesmanship. Unilet feels like a little bit of up and about Bombay in the lazy little Bangalore. Which is surprising because Ezone is much more gloss and sheen than Unilet. For whatever it is worth, I recommend Unilet. And I am not setting foot at an E-Zone again, unless I have vouchers of course :P

Btw check out #IPLBrandWhore on Twitter. One of the most hilarious things I have ever read... Close second to Chetan Bhagat's oft quoted starting line, "when I wrote about Godhra riots in my third book". God Mr Bhagat, your book was about ordinary young adults with hyperactive hormones and unreal dreams and passion that comes with youth, not experience. Not riots, for God's sake!

IPL Live

I had heard a lot about the spectacle that are these IPL matches. Last night I saw it for myself - it's a festival! Music and dance and cheerleaders and colours and a DJ and all the hungama... Oh and some cricket too :-) I am a believer now, it was almost as good as Octoberfest. Totally loved the 4 hours I spent watching Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings play their heart out (they must have been I guess - didn't notice the game so much). And after 9 years of nursing true unrequitted love for apna Jammy, I finally saw him last night, although from a distance. My conclusion - those lower seats are better than Fans Terrace if one's going to reach the venue after all the cricket/ IPL enthusiasts of the city get there and take the best seats - you may get to see the players more closely and hell, the tickets are cheaper too!

Missed hamaara Dhoni - he was the reason R and I wanted to go for the match, our reasons to love Dhoni far removed from each other though :P But I am quite sure there will be a next time.. :)
