Again, Barti rules, lucky charm and lovely parents

1. Telling everyone I'm going to Goa, and having them exclaim "Again??! Wow!"
2. Soumitra is falling in love with Bartimaeus too!
3. According to George, I'm lucky for Team India. Everytime I watch the cricket match, India wins... :-) A painful responsibility, I can not resist saying...
4. And an extra one, because I won't be posting for the next few days. In the washroom, one of the office-help ladies asks me if the people on my desktop are my parents. I reply in the affirmative. She says - you've got lovely parents...
