To pay or not to pay

We went to well-known store yesterday to buy some home decor stuff. On getting home we discovered today that they had not billed us for six out of the eight cushion covers we bought. Now, this is not the first time that the store has goofed-up in their billing. But this is probably the first time that they have goofed-up to the customer's benefit. The discussion at home began as to whether we should tell them about the unbilled cushions or not. If we do, I'm sure we would have to go there ourselves to pay the extra amount and I would be surprised if we even get a note of appreciation from the management. On the other hand, if we dont report it, some poor cashier is going to get penalised for it. After a long debate, we decided that this is not an eye-for-an-eye game where we are trying to get back to them for all the injustice they have done to the customer community. So we decided we will call them and let them know. Let's see how they handle this!

For God's sake!

Saw a well-made movie after quite some time, I must say. The movie titled "Khuda ke liye" which literally means "For God's sake" is about a Pakistani family that depicts with great accuracy the effect of religious fundamentalism on the muslim society. I do not want to spoil the plot by saying more but a special appearance and speech by Naseerudin Shah at the end deserves a standing ovation not only for delivery but also content. A must watch!

My latest passion!

Anirudh came into our lives on 18th July 2006 and its been a roller-coaster ride ever since. He has taken our lives by storm. Has completely upset what we used to call a normal lifestyle. But all it takes is a smile from him to forgive and forget!

Oh, and my original passion is now also his passion. I can almost hear him say "Brrrrooooom Brrrrooom"!!! I guess its all in the genes!
