- This was one November to remember.

- Experienced my first cyclone - Cyclone Phyan. They say this thing strayed away from the Indian Ocean into our peninsular after more than 60 years. Those terrifying skies. This ofcourse was followed by electricity and telephone problems as expected.

- Plenty family functions that kept me disconnected, enough to feel discomfort.

- Came very close to crashing my motorcycle, thankfully didn't. One of those instances when you thank those automobile designers who built something that holds it's line. Sadly, the near-crash punctured the fuel tank, not at all funny to see fuel dripping down on the engine while it's still alive. Nothing burnt up in flames. Thankfully?

- After close inspection of the punctured fuel tank and the cause, my brother remarked - "major design flaw".

- Finally, after a freaky November weather-wise, winter finally set-in.

- Normality.
