I didn't Understand everything but was happy about the 5000 rupees

Last tuesday morning early, I crept out into the dining room to do some email before everyone else woke up.

The room was dark as I turned on the computer (a laptop I had just set down on the table).

As I turned away to start on a cup of tea, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bright orange light flashing from the back of the computer, and then smelt smoke.

Well, that's no good.

After visiting the repair shop, and realizing the cost of repairing, I ended up buying a new computer.

Thanks to my good friend Lee, everything from the old computer was recovered, and I am slowly trying to get all the programs up and running on the new one.

I remain a Toshiba man.

Oh yeah, the 5000 rupees.

Lee and I were wandering around (wondering around? do both fit the description of what we were doing?) Nehru Place, finding stuff for an external harddrive, we found a computer salvaging shop. Expecting I would just give it to the guy, he offered me 5000 rupees for what remained (screen, DVD player, keyboard). I guess I should have bargained him up, but jumped at the chance, and went home happy.

The boys in his shop had the old one separated into parts in about 30 seconds.
