An unusual Sunday

This Sunday was quite different from any I have spent in my stay so far in Bangalore. Today was the first time I took my cycle on non-commute/non-training ride. I was concerned about parking the bike safely in the city but I found poles/fences to chain the cycle at each place I stopped. I ended up riding 30 km through the city over the day including the Richmond circle flyover. :-)

I started the day with visits to two Music stores looking for notation stands. One in Koramangala and one behind Lal bagh. Then I grabbed a quick lunch at Indiana in Brigade road. I had plans for visiting friends in the evening. I had a couple of hours to kill. On an impulse, I decided to look for any books by John Arlott or Neville Cardus. Neither Blossoms nor Book worm had any. I have to continue my search for them. However I bought Dune by Frank Herbert, The Alexandria Quartet and Prospero's cell by Lawrence Durrell.

A visit to my friends in the evening and dinner at their place closed out an unusually active Sunday. Add to that this blog post and no office email check. This Sunday is going to be unique for some time.
