I’ve been trying to get around to writing about this but just haven’t had the time since my last post …. I had some wonderful ideas that I wanted to blog – however just haven’t found a few minutes where I can just ‘start’

Work has been hectic in terms of the number of enquiries I am sending out to my hotel counterparts – and for every enquiry I’m more or less dealing with the same hotels – just different people at the same hotel … and believe me when I say that I have practically pulled my hair out at the ridiculous levels of incompetency within the hospitality sector !

My car has been at the service centre for a WEEK !! Before you start thinking of the worst accident ever – it’s nothing like that – my car, Storm had a minor accident 2 weeks ago – and I have been left dealing with some serious dimwits at the insurance company and at the service centre. 

mumbai-taxiI’ve had to take cabs all week – and we’re not talking about the smart, clean cabs that one might find in Europe, UK or the States … I’m referring to the ‘old school black & yellow padminis’ that make up the majority of cabs in India …. and guess what …

On Friday one of these crazy cabs decided to start moving whilst I was still getting out of the cab .. and it ended up going over the back of my left foot … natural instinct meant I yanked my foot away … bad idea … I’ve had a sharp pain in my inner ankle and have had it bandaged up since Sunday …. went to the diagnostic centre next to my office today ‘cos the pain actually got a bit worse … the Xray guy thought I had a hairline fracture !!! And told me to go visit an orthopaedic doctor at one of the main hospitals …

Luckily for me – it’s NOT a hairline fracture per say – it’s more of soft tissue damage and borderline fracture .. I have to take medication for this (you guys must think I’m a druggie constantly popping any form of over-the-counter drugs!) along with keeping my foot wrapped up ..

So now that I FINALLY have my car back … I can’t even drive ! Just bloody great !

Woooooohoooooo !!! As a newbie blogger - can you imagine just how ecstatic I was to find that my blog - yes ! this very one that you are reading - got ranked ... hold your breath now ...

... #2 from over 5000 blogs in the Personal Category of Link Referral yesterday !



Luckily I had my senses about me - and managed to get some screen shots of my rankings; just for proof for myself to prove that the immense heat and lack of sleep hadn't caused any sort of hallucinations ....

This coming to me just after discovering that my blog also got picked as #4 on the editors' choice from Blogsville =)

Now these are just daily rankings, but it got my heart racing just a tad more than usual and got me grinning from ear to ear ! Yeaaaaaaaah ! You like my writing - and I'm entertaining you ! (or else you wouldn't be here DUH!)

I can't stop smiling =)
