mela rey mela

On Sunday, my sister and i went to the Handicrafts mela – this is one of my favourite and i make it a point to visit it every year. This year i dragged my sister along – she is forever complaining that it is dusty and too hot to go out but my will prevailed. This year, it was much better than last year – better organized and more stalls than before.

We had a nice time – we bought artificial flowers, bamboo flower vases, those big decorative earthen vases (which i absolutely love) and other knick knacks. It is great to get all these absolutely lovely things in one place. And at reasonable price.

Saturday saw us trying to get his old desktop repaired. It had been gathering dust under the bed. So we took it to Chandni – we thought it was just the motherboard that needed to be changed. In the end, we ended up changing everything apart from the hard disk and DVD drive. And we also bought a 17 inches LG flatron screen. We are going to be surrounded by sleek machines and maybe they will overtake our lives and we will be reduced to zombies (whatever made me write this???).
