Three Quarters & Chinese

That's a nice Chinese restaurant in Bangalore. In the middle of church street, next to Amoeba etc. And the best part is that they have a witty name. They claim to serve three quarters of chinese menu and one quarter of Awadhi menu (Lucknowi - for the tyros to the gastronomical world). Their biryanis and kebabs have earned a reputation for themselves as a real treat (comes second only to Hyderabadi Dum Biryani !)

Well that's not the point. The point is that Quarter is an important denomination in US currency. Get a ride from UCLA to SantaMonica beach, make a phone call to your girlfriend (and I've seen ppl banging their head after doing that), do your laundry etc etc. So  that's the first quarter.

Quarter is a key thing in the california graduate education system. You fall down in Fall, shiver and curse yourself in Winter ( & buy a mac out of frustration & 'making most out of xmas sales') & Eventually Spring back in Spring. That's the second quarter.

Quarter is a significant portion of my house. That quarter of bedroom/bathroom/kitchen/hall for which I am the boss. Surrounded by brat frats. All they care about is Pop, Party & Pussy (no offence really to those amazing greek fraternities). That's the third quarter.

The fourth quarter is the chinese (and japanese, taiwanese, koreans, malaysians, indonasians etc etc...as you see my limited knowledge of geography). You find them all over LA. Customs & Immigrations, Parking lots, Research Labs, Pingpong tables & Everywhere else.

Well, as I finish a quarter of my life, I hope to embrace these other quarters into my life with heart wide open.
