Dinner at Jon's Place

I have tried to sleep hard these days. Often people find it difficult whenever there is a swing in shifts. Many reasons associated with it. One of the reason may be the change from Day to Night shifts. The other one, a major one, which I face is the telephone calls from people assuming that I am at work. That is the reason why half the time during a day my cell phone would be in the switched-off mode.
I was invited for a dinner at Mr. Jon Seem's place last night. It was the first time that I had ever had any meal with a westerner having a western food. I knew their food would have very little spice in it unlike the Indian food. I was prepared for it. As expected it was Spagetti and Chicken Curry ( he say so..) with French Cheese spread. The Chicken curry had this Chicken in it (of course :-) ) along with the Tomato sauce, ginger, garlic and salt in it. Literally it was only this. Peter helped me out by giving some tips on how to eat the spagetti. I had a tough time completing it. :-)
Watching French Open finals on TV and sipping beer. Discussing about trips to different places in the world and about the time taken to travel to Australia on different routes.
The occasion for the dinner was, I am quitting this company in three days time. It was sort of a farewell dinner. I am moving to IIT Bombay next week.
