At lunch today, we opted for the buffet and agreed at the end of the meal that we are pretty sick of eating. While it’s not entirely true, we often feel that all we do is eat, sleep, work and eat some more.

After lunch, we headed to the Central Cottage Industries Emporium on Cunningham road. Yep, that’s it… we returned to the scene of the crime…

Linda had seen a sapphire ring in CCIE when we were rug shopping and had decided to return and purchase it. Unfortunately, the price was a little too steep and the salesman wasn’t in a bargaining mood. On the bright side, Linda did manage to pick up 2 new rugs – Kashmir ones this time – at the 47% discount we had obtained last time we were rug shopping and had an opportunity to hone her bargaining skills. She haggled her way to free shipping and a great price.

I’m very proud of myself. I managed to stave off the overwhelming desire to purchase a larger rug for our home and walked out of CCIE without purchasing a thing.

Anand shocked everyone and bought a small 2×3 rug. We were all amazed that he’d purchased anything and Linda remarked that we needed to get a picture of Anand with a shopping bag. Apparently, there are people in Winnipeg who will pay for proof that Anand has been out shopping.

— break for work —

The crew at work presented Linda and Bill with a coffee table book highlighting Bangalore. Each agent signed their name in the book and Linda told them that the book would be placed in their office for her co-workers to view.
