What is with all this technology!

Logged onto my blogger account today to post something on my personal blog and guess what, my blog's been apparently marked as spam by a genius program and has been blacklisted! I can neither post or retrieve messages from that blog now. I have to send a buzz to the blogger team and apparently they will look into it and get back to me!!! I will be very surprised if they do. For all practical purposes, my blog's dead. Long live the blog.

Second Store!!! Woohoo!!

That's right guys! Gnome is available in another outlet starting today!

It's a store by the name 'The Reader's Store'. It's actually a book store. And a neat little on at that. It has a very eclectic collection of books and it has a lot of reclining chairs and comfy furniture that you can just sink into and read at your own pace. These guys actually welcome you to come, sit down at their place (they also provide coffee for free!), read some books and go! I love such places.

Alrite, before I start planning my next visit to that store, here are the directions.

It's in SantaCruz. When heading north on S.V Road in SantaCruz, spot a Standard Chartered office on your right. Take the left after it (the road goes towards Lion's Garden), go down a couple of hundred metres and you will find it on your left. Voila!!

Now run there quickly! :-)

Woohoo!!!! We are in the market!!!

After all the hassles with getting an internet connection, with finding a decent office space, with opening an bank account, with getting the PoP unit ready, with getting the TAN,PAN,VAN etc numbers ready.....all supported by generous helpings of Vada pav, 'ganne-ka-juice' and cutting-chai, WE ARE IN THE MARKET BABY!

We spent almost the whole of yesterday ferrying our products, the PoP unit and ourselves between the outlet and our office. Finally at around 1900 hours, we had it ready. Our baby....in the market. Needless to say, it was a very emotional moment and we all took two minutes off to revel in the inner joy :-)

So what needs to be done now? Well......go run to the store now!!! The name of the store is 'Aura' ('ts right next to Mini-Punjab) in Bandra (Mumbai).

And tank u...tank u all for your unflinching support during the last couple of months. We are sure we couldn't have done it without you. We would like to thank the fans, the crew, our make-up artist, the spot boy.....err...sorry, this is our Oscar acceptance speech :-)
