More cascades..

The new bus route that I have been taking for the last one week is just providing me too much info on where many places that I have heard of are..
There is this water cascade entrance on the right, that I see each day. While I spent the whole week just in awe that I now know where Tempe Cinemas is and Stain market too, I could not help wondering when today I saw that, this cascade had a counterpart on the left of the entrance. Why are only facades so decorated? The cascade was at an angle, so I somehow got this idea that it must be alone. I guess, people coming from the other side are entitled to a beautiful view too..

Real Person

Michiko Kakutani is a real person.? I thought she was a cooked up person for Carrie Bradshaw's benefit...

Unbelievable

Today, while searching for books in a local library, I was flipping through the pages of 'Refuse to Choose' by Barbara Sher and I thought why or how is a reader so willing to give in to whatever is written.. and I am in love with Socrates..

Mispronounced

Basura is a green gram based dish
sorry that should be Basaru

Yesterday my friend had a hard time making me pronounce 'basaru' as it is and not as basura, basuri or anything else. I was not alone in making this mistake. A junior too found it difficult to call it right. We were surprised to find that a trash can in a mall had 'basura' as its Spanish equivalent.

Oops I did it again...

This adds to the if I see it happening twice...

Few months ago, when my friend and I stopped to get out of the bus to go to a mall.. it was a little early.. we had the intersection wrong and we had to walk more.. while walking we tried putting the blame on the other about who was behind the happening..
Day before yesterday, I thought I had the intersection name correct ... boy, I still had to do that extra walk again...
Today I made sure that I got the correct intersection name and was telling my friend that we have to get down at the stop after Dobson and so we have to watch out.. So during the talk she was asking me if the bus went only till McClintock.. I said, "no it goes all the way down to Dobson and beyond" .. I remember many stops.. she said that she read the sign saying Price road.. so I said "may be the Price road is after Dobson". And in 2 min, we were at Price road. And the mall still at one stop after Dobson.. The bus driver made his usual announcements of last stop. News is- we have to walk to Dobson.. the driver was showing it the sign language way of walking his fingers in air..
Only then did it strike me that today is Sunday and Mesa does not support bus service on Sunday. Now when was I told this before? Again some months ago, just before winter, when I had to buy a comforter.. my roommate and I had to walk 2 miles to the mall for the same reason which Mesa can avoid by just adding a 0.4% sales tax just like normal cities like Tempe....

No sunday service

Imagine there was no sunday service. If this was the divine service- some would rejoice, some would not care and the rest would feel bad.
But todays service in question is a bus ride, a very informative one. Not only did it make me recall that Mesa does not have a sunday bus service but also that there is a mall other than Walmart in Mesa, that I have a special inclination to use only on Sundays.

Is this your best friend?

May be 'Diamonds are a girls best friend', but if you are alone and are grappling with how to wear that diamond bracelet or more precious charms bracelet and cannot find a person with habile( ok, dont call me a word nerd, I am happy that this word that came out of my head really suited the occasion.. so now I know what 365 day planner to buy for more of those moments of having enough words in your head to come up with an apt one.. ) hands.. Can you believe that you actually can tame the clasp solo?
Notice I am ignoring the kinds of clasp that can be.. In my life, I have owned or been gifted bracelets with just spring ring clasp .. but there are so many more kinds... lobster claw, hook and eye, toggle... ok thats enough...
