My msn.com lovescope for Today says
Your Lovescope - Today, July. 31, 2010
Someone special whom you care for dearly may be away on vacation, and you might not have heard from this person for a few days. Don't let yourself fall into the trap of either making yourself crazy with worry, or deciding your friend doesn't like you anymore and hasn't phoned because there's someone else. Travelers tend to get busy enjoying their holidays! Find something interesting to do and be patient.
Ahhhh I was kind of getting worried about Eva not appearing on Google chat. Maybe that explains hehehehe..cheers there is always something that makes sense in this world
Got to the hike, there were about 36 people. wow a huge crowd. Make it back by 2, then went to whole foods car pooling and had lunch and a beer. damm getting drunk since yesterday.
no more alcohol for sometime for me.
came home and then just passed out. woke up around 11 and felt fresh ,,,so there goes this weeks salsa.

Jul 30th Fri, fine reading
Friday Jul 30 2010
==================
Woke up @ 1:30 from couch and moved to Bed. then woke up at 4. Guess I fell asleep after a hard day at work yesterday. IT was interesting day. not yet productive as much as I hoped.
Then got out of bed when the alarm went off @5 with an Ommmm Namaaaa Shivayyaaa. repeated a few time with emphasis and foucus on the OOOOmmmmmmm. Felt good.
Then opened up internet to read the interesting material about astrology and its planetary . It is nice reading material and interesting to follow and to check if what they say happens. Observe and compare.
****************
On July 29, Mars moves into Libra for a brief but potent stay until September 14. It is being said in the astrology world that this is going to be period of revolutionary changes. These changes may be personal, relationship-oriented, or community-based, it may affect nations and even have global significance, but whatever is about to occur will probably be rather memorable or one for the history books.
Mars moves into Libra and promptly runs into a highly strung, rather disruptive, not to say explosive opposition to Uranus on July 30 and a teeth-gritting, impatient, accident prone conjunction to Saturn on July 31. Tempers will flare, plans will get chopped and change with everyone going in opposite directions.
The mood out in the world will be insecure. Playing it cool will be crucial. However tempting it might be, this is not the time to over-react to provocation.
Focus your energy on what can be done right away. Also, be aware that Mars in Libra gets especially annoyed about unfairness and injustice. So if feel you are being treated unfairly or see others in that position, you'll be out there arguing the case to right the wrongs.
Once we survive the early days of August, we will be asked to arrive at decisions by being objective, balanced and listening to both sides of an argument before making judgements. Mars can be rather brash and tactless but it mellows in Libra to become co-operative and more refined. So there'll be a greater understanding of the need for compromise to keep relationships running along smoothly. Resolutions and solutions should be arrived at through diplomacy and communication.
=****** this weeks forecast ,,,, ;o) very interesting
When Ceres squares both Venus and the Moon on Thursday, the wrong lover is worse than no lover. On Friday, Jupiter is quincunx Mercury and conjunct the Aries Moon as you glimpse your ideal partner. When sensitive Ceres trines the Moon on Sunday, you'll know you're home.
******************************
So today I am going to see the glimpse of my ideal partner, cheers how? will she be just passing by in her car or in a bus and I get to see her pass by, hehehe, that would be funny. But so true about wrong lover is wrose than no lover.
I guess I can see there is some sudden change in plan. There was supposed to be a farewell party for one of the guys who has his last day at this client. And today morning we get to know that he is not able to make it so the farewell lunch party got cancelled. :(
Awww I did not cook yesterday night as I was planning on having lunch out at the party today.
So around 12 went to McDonalds with the new guy Kabir Anway (pronounced as Onooy in bengali). he is new and wanted to go to a US Mcdonalds. Then met his room mate in the Company guest house who is also going off today to Brussels Beligium. Had a very interesting talk with them both about their European experience. I am so charged up to go to Europe, they told me the same stories that Eva told me about paris, Rome, Amsterdam, London. Been a guy who is into culture and history out of interest, it really spiked up my intrest to go there.
McDonalds it seems had saved even these guys who did not like the French food much. The brussels going guy did not like the Italian pizza either. thats interesting.
Just got msg that the 3:30 meeting got put off to Aug 4 at 11:30,, hehehe,, the sudden changes are coming and people going in opposite direction.
Then the 4:30 KT Knowledge Transfer secession gets moved to 3:30.. end up been there till 6:30\ Then drive Anoy to the wine shop. he wanted Hinekien beer, but they did not have any beer. That was a first, no beer in a Wine and Spirits shop. So they tell us to go to the next shopping mall. Thats another huge layout, we go there and as soon as we enter we see a Hinekien truck, so I decide to follow the truck, it went around in circles and then in the end it took us to the Beer shop. Which had just all kinds of beers.
then I decide to stop at my home on the way back to his house and then fix us both a vodka and juice. We start talking about the people we work with and he told me the reason he is not going to VKs house and rather going to penbrook itself. Sounded logical.
Then we take off and go to his place, his room mate is going to Belgium merck office. ahh how I wish I could go to Europe.
We start having the beer and then jimbean whisky.. wow I was getting really drunk.
I was again surprised by the way his room mate was talking about his greatness at job and his great position with the client and felt funny and sick that everyone who is just out of India is so obessed with Position and hierarchy of self greatness, and this guy just worked for about 4 year, what will his ego end up if he would have worked like me for about 18 years???
Anyways we had a series of debates, where he was just going on repeating the stuff he said and dragging his stories to explain small points.
That kind of screwed up my Salsa for the night. had dinner with them and then talked for a few more and got home. The coffee I had at McDonalds was still working as I was not feeling sleepy, facebook chatted with Anjali and geetha aechi for a few. then decided to go for hiking tomorrow.. damm its already 3:30am and I need to atleast sleep a bit.

Thursday Jul 29 2010
====================
was not able to go running yesterday. but woke up early before 5 and was lazing in bed till the alarm went off, hit snooze for 10 mins, and then got out @ 5:10am. why is there is laziness to get out of bed, why the lethargy,
Chatted a bit with Eva and Kiran.. kiran wanted to know what happened to the relation with Eva, told him she is now in india. :( and things did not happen the way we wanted it to happen.
Then had an interesting chat with Eva. Thou I was not able to tell her or give the right explanation. I wish we could have sat face to face and talked about things like civilized people and do away with all the sick mis understanding of each others actions and the resulting hurt. Clear of the webs and interference caused by other people, who may have had good intentions or foolishness of inexperience's.
people who tried to out do themselves not knowing much. Well its my foolishness and desparation also to contact them and to expect some kind of magic to happen from them.
One thing that Eva did not understand was that I am not her Enemy. But she tended to behave in such a way that I am more interested in damaging her. If I had those intentions, I would not have had strong opposition of her going to India in the first place.
And when I raise the issues with the past about her with Igor, or with others, it was for me one to know for sure that she was not having feelings for them or feelings or regret of not been with them. And two to know that she has learnt from that experience and will not let things like that happen again. But her tendency was to just barge ahead in life with out wanting to analyze of learn any lesson from the past. Which I am sure has resulted in her going and falling head over heals for Amit, Rishit and I am not sure who else she seems to have a soft corner for.
Not sure if she is still the same girl I fell in love with or has she, after the heat and indian experience opened up to some other kind of life and living.!!!!!????
Well got a series of meeting that I need to attend today, most important the ones with the Avaya team. to resolve the politics of non-coperation from them. Deeply supect that these guys are scared of loosing their job and have built up a wall around themselve and seem to be getting angry at things when people ask them questions.
Found the can of Milk I forgot was there, was using the new one I brought on sunday, expiry date of the old one is Jul 31, when I opened it, looked like it turned into a kind of yogurt. not sure if its good to have.!!!!
Issue with Vaccine call center and order mgmt call.
Got home, with plans of getting things done and to cook if possible, and go for a run, ended up resting for a few mins and kaboom don't know when I passed out.

Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010
-----------------------
woke up as usual and then just barely made it past the first rail gate and got stuck at the 2nd.
But again was the frist to log on to the conf at 7am
Slowly people come in and the conf ends around 7:45am
in between check evas blog about her trip, hiking in manali and watching indian movie.
Then latter get chatting with her about life, purpose.. hehe latter on the phone she said the same thing that I was thinking.. born and then death. The death part is the sad part that has been troubling me.
10am meeting status with client. told sangeeta about the confusion in tonys understanding of CTI. So she asked me to talk about that in tomorrows meeting. The sad part is that the Avaya guys are only going to be ready with their coding by Sep 9 instead of Aug 10 that I was initially planned. That means that my trip to Czech will have to be pushed back after Sep 9th.
Returned home for lunch
Called up eva after lunch and chatted with her for about 30 mins. explained to her the story of my been betrayed by the other gals in my life.
3:30pm Knowledge transfer KT, by kris as he is heading off to India for 3 weeks. mostly slept thru it. then 4:30 the usual but last secession of Analytic s.
Got home around 6pm wondering to salsa or not... lets see how I feel after resting a bit.

July 27th Tuesday Expression of emotion
Tuesday Jul 27th 2010
---------------------
Woke up again a few times with weird dreams. Alarm from the iPhone went off at 5am put it to snooze and got out at 530am.
Saw Evas mail. felt nice reading it.
I wonder why I am sometimes not able to talk and open up when talking. I want to say so many things, but then just don't end up saying it. Was able to put it into words when writing the mail. Guess when we are talking I am just happy listening and getting to know about the other persons life and their happiness. And then just like to push some things that I should be talking out to the back and that just keeps becoming bigger and bigger emotional pain.
Maybe its a good thing to talk as it feels lighter after opening up.
Reach work in a hurry at 7am only to find that the meeting has been cancelled . :( bummer.
so end up reading Eva updates on her blog and chating with her.
Also saw the email exchange between ajit, nirmal and venu regarding the new gal that will be working from india supporting the work from bengaluru.
Will I be one of the persons complaining or loosing my job to Indian tech. hehehe.

---------------------
wake up with a flip flop sleep. But after the mediatation I was feeling better to fall asleep.
off to work 7am.
Reach work a bit late than usual cause of taking a different route as the train gates were already blocking traffic.
was chatting with e and sent her the collection of my poems, musings.
Suggested to her to go meet my parents as she is already there in Bangalore and telli is just few hrs drive from mysore.
My poor old 80 year old dad went around town looking for a willing astrologer with her birth chart to find a willing astrologer who would do our chart comparision. Atleast she could have done was to make him happy by meeting him. He would atleast get to see the person whos birth chart he was carrying around for a few weeks to do the comparision.
Replied back to the questions from bena and bal about the poems quote.
Really feeling sick thinking about life and its unknown factors and trying to live with the questions that keep coming up so often.
around 12:30 thou I wanted to go out kris said there was a demo @ 1pm so stayed back, Was feeling restless. CAlled up Eva and just got her coming back after meeting punita. She seemed to want to hang up and talk with her room mate. And then continued talking after I told her that I called her as I was feeling some kind of restless feeling. Talked for a few more mins and then she said she wanted to go join her room mates.
Went for the demo, which turned out to be more of a interaction secession with the users. Came out around 2pm and went home @2:30 to cook up the roti and heat up the chicken curry.
Was still feeling some kind of hopeless restlessness. Tried to meditate and calm down a bit. Atleast got call from narayan and know that he is doing well as he did not pick up the phone yesterday.
got back to work around 3:30 still the inquisitive, restless beating of the heart.
4:30 the usual run for traning, just went along with the guys to the training room, was not able to focus.
What is happening to me.
Get call from Anil, tell him will call after reaching home.
Reach home around 6:30 talk with anil who is out shopping at khols and getting call from wife to buy something else on the way. he goes to old navy to return something and then goes to walmart near to his house by 8:20.
I try to rest for a few mins. get up around 9:20 and brush my teeth and take off to Vango for some salsa.
meet laura there who i met last time. she was in vancouver too. She is a beginner and also just studying in college. We dance continously for sometime. Then around 11 she leaves and asks me when I am coming next. I tell her that I am not motivated to travel for 2hrs on a monday night for just 2 hrs of dancing.
Tell her to email me when ever she is going to be in Vango and I will also let her know about my plans.
Then get to dance a few more dances with a few more gals, just one dance was great the whole night. And at 12:20 head back to the car and reach home around 1:30 hit bed by 2am.

Sunday, Jul 25 2010
-------------------
Woke up around 8am debating weather to go for the hike.. was needed to be at sidneys place by 9:30... too late. Well might as well focus on getting things done around the house, shop for groceries.
Called up home and talked for a few mins, got to know that Adhi got into engineering in kerala and prathis son got into enigneering in bangalore. Also cousin sis chandinis daughter got into medical in jipmer. top medical college in India. wow. smart gal.
Looks like every one in the coming generation in the family is either going to be an engineer or a doctor. :) proud go to be part of smart family gene.
around 11am call up Eva, asks me to call back after 30 mins. so i ask her to call me back when she is ready. get her call back at 11:56am. they spent almost 40 mins trying to connect with her with the calling card. got to her around 12:36. IT seems she was busy talking with some other friend. And as soon as we start talking she starts feeling sleepy and wants to go to bed.
I spent almost an hour and half hoping to talk with her and was trying for more than 40 mins to call her and in 5 mins into the call, she wants to end the call. Well she does not seems to have changed much. It was the same thing when we were in a relationship too. All the effort was from me, and then in the end after putting in all the effort, the person who got hurt the most was just me. And the worst part she accuses me of ignoring her. While all she ever did was ignore anything and everything about me and only focused on her own wants and wishes.
Well are all women like that - Selfish and Self centered? AV said yes they are all like that. He said he has problems even with his daughters who behaves like that.
Why do I let people take me for granted so much. No wonder I feel so much gratitude towards people especially women who seem to even give me a smile and almost seem to want to do anything for the lady who is kind enough to dance with me or talk nicely with me.
OR
am I been just too judgemental. Its easy to expect certain behavior from others, but we will never know what their thinking is or conditions are unless we travel in their shoes.
Went and dropped off the rent check posted the heat bill to peco. paid the cell phone bill.
To costco for milk and grapes. then got a call from Balaji, talked for a few then tried to call anil back could not get him or narayan.
Started raining after I got out of costco. was hot and sunny when I entered.
Got msg from Evas dad that they are back from Yoga full of energy.
6:30pm feeling very restless and mind troubled. Went for a drive its cooler outside after the rain.
Filled up gas, talked with AV who was at Universal studios with his kids and his wife went to East coast to meet her uncle. For this week he is taking care of them in LA away from the SFO bay area.
Drove over to get gas filled and with the sun still out at 7:50 and still feeling restless. I think I will meditate. Really bothered by somethings happening that I have no control over.
9pm go for a run. ITS FULL MOON,
the beauty of the moon rippling thru the horizon.
standing up in the eastern skies with a full face
radiating its beautiful glowing light
ahh how I wish there was the love of my life
with me to share this beautiful moment
forever etching it in our hearts together
to become one in mind and soul forever.
The darkness melts in the milky glow
cherishing the tender moments in times flow
with an aching heart that swallow its tears
tremble I when the comes true my worst fears
-------------------
Woke up around 8am debating weather to go for the hike.. was needed to be at sidneys place by 9:30... too late. Well might as well focus on getting things done around the house, shop for groceries.
Called up home and talked for a few mins, got to know that Adhi got into engineering in kerala and prathis son got into enigneering in bangalore. Also cousin sis chandinis daughter got into medical in jipmer. top medical college in India. wow. smart gal.
Looks like every one in the coming generation in the family is either going to be an engineer or a doctor. :) proud go to be part of smart family gene.
around 11am call up Eva, asks me to call back after 30 mins. so i ask her to call me back when she is ready. get her call back at 11:56am. they spent almost 40 mins trying to connect with her with the calling card. got to her around 12:36. IT seems she was busy talking with some other friend. And as soon as we start talking she starts feeling sleepy and wants to go to bed.
I spent almost an hour and half hoping to talk with her and was trying for more than 40 mins to call her and in 5 mins into the call, she wants to end the call. Well she does not seems to have changed much. It was the same thing when we were in a relationship too. All the effort was from me, and then in the end after putting in all the effort, the person who got hurt the most was just me. And the worst part she accuses me of ignoring her. While all she ever did was ignore anything and everything about me and only focused on her own wants and wishes.
Well are all women like that - Selfish and Self centered? AV said yes they are all like that. He said he has problems even with his daughters who behaves like that.
Why do I let people take me for granted so much. No wonder I feel so much gratitude towards people especially women who seem to even give me a smile and almost seem to want to do anything for the lady who is kind enough to dance with me or talk nicely with me.
OR
am I been just too judgemental. Its easy to expect certain behavior from others, but we will never know what their thinking is or conditions are unless we travel in their shoes.
Went and dropped off the rent check posted the heat bill to peco. paid the cell phone bill.
To costco for milk and grapes. then got a call from Balaji, talked for a few then tried to call anil back could not get him or narayan.
Started raining after I got out of costco. was hot and sunny when I entered.
Got msg from Evas dad that they are back from Yoga full of energy.

--------------------
Woke up and decided to head out for the hike and anthropology museum.
reached Sidneys house around 10am for the ride $4 for car pooling.
Reached Bartmans garden about 11am Took a guided tour. The guide was a very beautiful and very well informed lady from Romania, Alina, lovely. She has a degree in History and is doing another in Conservation. wow. So elegant and very informed and great presentation. Would love to hang out with her and have good conversation.
I have a soft corner for girls who are smart and can hold a conversation and talk passionately about some subject. And when its history, its even interesting to know more about the past in the our beautiful world. All about human behavior and how different people left their foot prints before us.
After that we all headed to the Penn University. Such a huge campus and the surrounding area seems to be filled up with students from all over the world. Lots of hippie type of characters trying to make a statement with their dressing and hair style and piercing, tattoos.
$8 for entry into the museum. Was rushed thru as the others were not able to be in a room with out AC... damm spoiled people.
I think I could spend hrs or maybe days at that place reading about the different people and cultures of the world.
5pm return and we all head to Dock street for Pizza and beer. And great conversation.
Met another girl there who is into salsa. cheers
10pm went to down town for some salsa, danced a beautiful bachata with a chinese girl. She was so easy to lead. If I would have danced with her for more, I think I would have fallen in love with her.
Ahhhh I am feeling so weak and suggestible. Hope I don't make any mistakes and fall in love with the wrong person for the wrong reasons.
Around 2 am retrun back home.

Its okay, I need to make calls to muhu in van to see if the deposite for my vacouver apt has come. Then the Bc hydro.

Ended up cleaning up the bath tub early morning. Sneaking lil chors in between and knocking it of the To Do lists, good time management :)
might give the car for inspection in the afternoon, rather go home for lunch and then drop the car off for inspection. :)
Gave the car for inspection in the afternoon and got a call in the afternoon. Phew! it passed with out any hassel. was scared that this also would end up in another multiple round of back and forth. But it is a nice day, everything went smoothy. Wish every day was like this.
Got back home around 5:30 and had some snacks , debating the best time to go for salsa.

----------------------
lazy wake up after passing out on the couch. The partially cooked chicken curry was still hot from yesterday nights... put it in the fridge, got to see if I can finish cooking today.
Reached work by 6:55am only to find conf call pushed off to 8am.
was chatting a bit with Eva over igoogle. IT would have been so great if only she could come to US, we could have gone camping to one of the National parks as the yearly membership was still valid till the end of Aug. And then together we could take a flight to her town(village).
If only she was open to it. or who knows what her real intentions and plans are.
around 12 get back home and start giving the finishing touches to the chicken curry, finished it by 12:40 ate lunch with rice yummmy... atlast it was worth the effort. Better than paying off 7 to 8 dollars at the office canteen.
Drop off car at the garage of the inspection. Dharmesh was there. so the owner gave us both a ride back to work, which was like 5 mins walk. Just because dharmesh was not able to walk in the heat and behaving like a European from Iceland that poor old man had to drive us.
3:30 to 4:30 helped test with Karthi on T5 for fixes to the Cti.
4:45 get out with dharmesh to the garage,
walking on the way found a ball, gave it to the owners wife to give it to their grand kids.
they were not able to do the tests on my car and the owner asked me to bring it in tomorrow.
Was feeling hungry as soon as I got back home and saw the chicken curry, again had some rice and chicken curry. cheers :)
got dressed to go for a run, laid down a bit and I think must have fallen asleep, woke up with the neighbors taking their dogs out for a walk. The whole apartment complex seems to be filled with couples and their dogs.
around 8pm made a move out by promising myself a mixed fruit smootiee. went for a good run after a very long time. felt good. maybe soon I will be able to increase the distance, because I have been running fast. Will slow down the speed and run longer distance.
got to take a few spectaular shots of the moon.

//////////////////////
Just past mid night into the new start of another day. Strange the new day starts always in darkness. Man sleeps thru the dark part and tries to wake up at sunrise and starts the day with a ahhh new day, new sun. But in fact the day went thru a very dark phase before it got lit up by the sunlight. Its like we all live the initial part of our life in the darkness of our ignorance and then suddenly wake up to the bright sunlight like happiness of life. And then during the course of the day, go thru a series of ups and downs and depending on how we are feeling towards the end of the day, we either want the day to last for ever or to end as soon as possible. Paradox of life that seem to swing in the glowing brightness of life.
ne ways heading to bed now.
wake up by 5 and out of bed by 5:30am. reach work by 6:50am. as I skipped making coffee / tea.
the conf call was very brief, from 7:10 to 7:25am. And kris asked if I could drop him off at JFK airport on Aug 7th for his trip to India.
he needs to be there by 8am and so we need to start off from lansdale by 5:30am. Maybe after that I will head over to narayans place or the temple. Been a long time since I have been to the temple. Malini said her parents are going off by Aug14.
Called up eva after the conf call and chatted for about an hr. Seems to be down with problems of stomach again. Nice to know her point of view about her trip to India. She finds Ahmadabad cleaner than the other parts of india she visited. Wonder what she will think of gods own country kerala.
8:50 get to the mechanic shop, a new guy is sitting there and did not know anything about the test and inspection I was promised yesterday by the guy Al.
He wanted me to leave the car at the shop, I said I need the car. Said will give me a call.
10am to 11am team meeting. voiced my concern about the dev set up for cti.
Went home for lunch @12 and was back by 1.
Mat invited me for conducting some CTI test for DTC new scripts@3:30 went on till 5pm. got out around 6pm.
In between the guys were still harassing kris and it felt more sick that they were continuing on the same old subject and it felt like these sick guys were still stuck in 7th grade.

Jul 20th Tuesday, got to send out the presentation
Tuesday Jul 20th 2010
=====================
Woke up as usual around 5am. Good practice of habit now.
but lay there thinking about the day ahead and the modification I need to make to the call flow presentation and the examples I can put in.
Wonder if E made it safely to Gujju land.
Wil call her after the conf call to check.
Got to work by 6:50am and saw the mail from kris that todays meeting has been canceled. good thing. 8:10am finished up the .ppt for call flow and sent it to Joe for review.
8:20 (5:50pm IST) called up Eva and got to know that she reached safely in the morning. she Said was busy with friends and that we can talk tomorrow.
Well atleast glad to know that she has made it back to Ahmadabad safely.
Series of mails to and fro regarding needing another layout of the vaccine call center.
neways have meeting with George to know about it around 2pm
11:30 go to the mechanic shop to get the quote for the hood latch of my car that got tampered with during the move to US.
As I was already there, got the oil change done too. wanted to get the PA state emmision and check done. Got appointment for it to be done tomorrow. Thats going to be tricky as I remember Sang my mechanic in Vancity saying that I need to have the motors running for atleast 15 mins before the inspection.
2 to 3 have a very informative secession with George in the war room. Then go down to the stable where the other guys seem to be still harassing kris and teasing him. Was feeling really pissed off at the same school boy behavior from married men with kids. And when mohan tried to get me involved, thinking that my been silent was an invitation for him to start poking fun at me. Turned around and told him not to get my name involved.
Guess that serious tone was enough to break the party up. The laughter that they were having at the expense of Kris stopped.
Sick shits.
Got the srf from server and tried to run it on as the local and found that the asso cont button was active here, then why is it not getting active on the server??
When heading home kris wanted me to come call him up around 8pm to talk about the button. Told him I may not call and have other things to do.
Went looking for the honda show room near cowpath for another quote for the latch, seems to have been closed and moved to new location.
Got home around 7pm was feeling hungry and just passed out. Had wanted to go out running and do some work out.
Woke up around 9: and then cooked some rice and had it with yogurt and ginger pickle.
logged on to check the assoc cont button and then when I was not able to log on to the server realised that there was a shut down happening that george had sent a mail in the morning about. :(
Watched the episode of the Bachelorette on the web and felt for ali and the emotions she seems to have gone thru, and when she said "it always happens to me and I wonder if I am not good enough" I felt the raw pain that I am always hiding and trying to over come. Betrayal of honor and loyalty gone to dogs.
Well thats life, as the old man who owns the mechanic shop told me when I was waiting for the oil change. He is living with cancer of the lungs and had an operation. And his daughter is going thru cancer treatment the past 4 years.
We just have to learn to deal with it. Life always throws its surprises when we least expect it.
That again brings me back to, why, what is this all leading to?

Jul 19th, monday gathering info on CTI Architecture
Mon Jul 19th 2010
=================
Woke up early 5am, but was trying out some kind of mind management techniques and ended up getting out of bed by 6:10am and rushed thru to reach office by 7:05am. In time for the conf call.
New guy replacing RajD comes in from kolkata. seems to have had a hard 36 hr flight.
Had called up evi yesterday night around mid-night. she seems to have reached New Delhi and was waiting for her connecting train. Ended up calling her after seeing the head line news of Train accident in India. But the accident seems to have happend near to Kolkata. So many lives just lost for some little carelessness by some people. So many families suffering from the tragedy.
Been sitting at the desk for about 11 hrs staright and now feeling hungry. Had lunch rather Brunch around 12 at desk. Microwaved the uppma that I had cooked yesterday.
Kind of trying to put a good document together to present to joe and rob about the cti call flow.
head aeching now. need to get out.
Out of work around 6:30 after the supposed to be training from 4:30pm
Just did not have it in me to cook or go for a run. Mentally exhausted.
Went for a brief walk around 9pm with the sun setting, checked the mail box for letter, just the phone bill.
Got back home and sat on the balcony upto 10pm just looking at the stars and meditating on life.
What direction is my life going, where is it all leading to? What is the purpose of all this. Is there a higher purpose for everything that seems to be happening around me, to me?

jul 18th hiking the Peace valley
Sun, Jul 18 2010
================
Woke up early as it has now become a habit. :)
Tried calling up Eva, she picked up the second time around and was not able to hear, hear a loud squeaking sound behind her. Will have to call her latter.
by 11:30 planning on going to Tara place and then from there to peace valley. 4 hrs to kill till then, might as well start with vacuuming and cleaning up the house.
Finished vacuuming and then called up E and got her on board the train to Delhi. She left her ex-room mate who is going back home via nepal and tibet back to China.
Was not able to hear eva clearly most of the time as the people besides them were talking too loudly and I could hear them speak more clearly than eva. It sounded like a Husband and Wife talk, where the wife was saying something rather ordering and the husband was coming up with a hundered different excuses. hehehe
11:30 reached taras house, and from there the we went to Peace Valley. We rented a kayak for an hour and to my surprise I did not feel scared or any kind of anxiety. We paddled around half of the Peace valley lake. It was so peacefull and beautiful. Loved it, it was more like Deer lake in Burnaby. :)
But the water and surrounding seemed to be more well maintained than Deer lake. To top it all in the sun there was a very pleasant breeeze and wind blowing. Loved it there.
After that we went for a hike partially around the lake.
On our way back, we went and had lunch at Zoto's. cute lil place mostly suburban white folks and workers.
Got back to Taras place a bit exhausted. Got my stuff into my car and then got back home. Dropped off my new bag and then went straight to Costco to get my box of Ice cream cones. :)
Returned back home and had an urge to have a cool fruit smoothie... made one and now writing the blog sipping in the smoothie... yummmm and refreshing.

Got back to Taras place a bit exhausted. Got my stuff into my car and then got back home. Dropped off my new bag and then went straight to Costco to get my box of Ice cream cones. :)
Returned back home and had an urge to have a cool fruit smoothie... made one and now writing the blog sipping in the smoothie... yummmm and refreshing.
jul 17th hiking and Japanese
Sar, jul 17th 2010
------------------
Called up home and talked for about 30 mins.
By 10:30am was out of the house to go hiking with the group.
While driving to the hike,
Called up Eva and she asked to call back after about 30 mins
Called up Tara and left a msg.
Reached Sidneys place around 11:15am.
parked car there and took a ride in sidneys car, $2 paid to him after reaching the start of the hike-> Chamounix Mansion.
There were about 27 people various ages and countries and back ground. nice.
On the bridge over the river watching the regatta of rowers, called up Eva, was not able to hear her properly. And some where in between the call got cut off with too much disturbance.
Around 2:30pm we reached the Japanese Horticultural center, $4 for a tour.
was too exhausted by 5.pm
Talked with Anil V for sometime. then got a msg from tara saying will call back in 1hr.
Tara called and we made plans to go to Peace Valley tomorow the sunday, as she hikes there. Wanted to try out rowing the kayak too. Lets see. :)
was too exhausted and passed out.

Jul16, friday, weekend salsa
Fri, jul16th 2010
-----------------
Woke up on the couch around 2am did not feel like going to the Broom. heard the microwave beeping with the food that I had tried to heat up around 10pm at night.
Was feeling too tired to even go switch that off.
Whats happening, am I coming down with some kind of virus or is it plain laziness.
Got to work by 7am just about beating one train gate, got stuck at the 2nd. Yet made it to work station by 7. 1st to log on to the call .was talking with kris about the stone walling by the avya team of mat and tony.
Had got a meeting invite by joe F to map out the CTI on Sangets instruction. Got to see what that is all about at 9:30.
Cit seems to have not made big progress in its profit announcement along with BankAmerica . Golman seems to be doing well with its settlement yesterday with Sec.
11: drive RajD and his wife to Khols for shopping and he said he has made arrangements to get back.
12: tried to call up eva from home, the ph seems to be ringing but not picking up, hoping that things are fine with her, its about 9:30 india time. will try again in a few mins to see that things are well with her, as per last talk, she should be in Varnasi and ready to go back to Ahmadabad.
12:30called her no up again, no response.
Back to work.
joe arranged a meeting with Tony and matt for Dev and Moc issues. 3:30pm
Talked with Anil for sometime. Then got call from Malin who was back home from work, to plan out the evening as she said she needed some sleep before been able to salsa.
So asked her to call me after 6.
Then tried calling up Eva again around 1pm , 10:30am her time, again no response. Wondering if she is on the train or if she just turned down the ringer volume or not picking up delibrately.
Got msg from tar about been fine for sat salsa.
Will try one last time now 11:45 ist. to see if e is not is some kind of trouble. Again no response.
Got back home around 7pm got a couple of calls from Mali. :)
Was wondering if the purity of love and its innocence is lost.
Something that is so pure and delicate,
like the wings of a butter fly,
Something that feels painful even to think of getting the slightest damage.
Is e deliberately not picking up the phone?
is there some other reason?
or is all her sweet innocence and been a sincere person gone
Hardened by the climate and lifes tempering.
Emotionally I am so low on self esteem now, I feel that I may fall for any gal been even a little nice with.
And if its someone wanting to take advantage of me, she could easily manipulate my emotional state.
Guess thats one of the reasons I am getting scared to go out salsa dancing with Mali or tara.
And not even in a strong state of mind to say no. just scared at one end and not wanting to loose the purity and sincerity of my love, want to cherish those feelings towards one special person for ever with all its pure sincerity.
What will happen is something the days will reveal.

Jul 15 Thu , workshop-precise
Thu, Jul 15 2010
-----------------
Had gone to sleep early, rather was been lazy, did not go for the planned run nor work out.
Wanted to get up early, thou I woke up at 5am a practice which took some time to develope, did not get out of bed till 5:45. So then had to skip the brief yoga and kick boxing work out that I had planned for 5:45 to 6:15am.
Just ended up rushing thru the actions and made it out by 6:45am to beat the train gates and into work by 6:55am.
The first in at the conf. kris and the indian team made it in intervals of 5 mins after 7:10am. Talked to kirs about the issue with mat and his british attitude of probably looking down on us dark skinned. And hence his taking liberty of raising his voice when I am trying to understand the limitations of setting up the Dev envi.
Not one of the best teams to work with if he is going to get too protective about his island.
Anyways, sent out a mail to georg s about needing more help. Atleast he included me in the mail chain that mat did not.
Change and scared of change is a common human thread. People react in different ways.
We now have the new process that seems to be coming on and not every one is open to the use of a new system for internal metrics gathering. As it requires filling up of work break down in an additional system on top of the two different time sheets that are been filled out.
10:05 am got out of work. was planning on stopping by at home on the way. But traffic did not seem to be in my favor. Just managed to reach the Residence inn of marriot by 10:25am
lunch of pasta @12noon.
4:pm out of the workshop, helped a guy start up his car as his battery was down. Then drove to Ajays apt to help start his car and drive to the mechanic as his battery was acting up as well.
Was thinking of sending an mail to malini and as soon as I logged on there was a mail from her asking about going to salsa tomorrow. Wow that is a very strange connection. She sent the msg from Arizona, guess she went hiking to the canyon with her parents.
Then got a txt msg from tara about wanting to go out if she does not get a flight to denv tomorrow.
Wow that is a nice change.
I am now in such a stage after facing all the rude behavior and been taken for granted and with my pride and self esteem so beaten up. That even the slightest gesture of kindness, even as much as a smile from a pretty girl is making me think that they are the best.

Wednesday Jul 14th 2010
=======================
Time is 1:45am, not able to sleep, had coffee in the afternoon before going for the process orientation workshop in Delaware. Damm should have gone for a run.
Now my mind and heart are racing 100miles an hour.
All kinds of crazy thoughts. And really need to sleep if I am to wake up at 5am. thats about 3 hrs from now. grrrrr coffee.
Troubled sleep, guess I must have gone to sleep around 4, woke up at 5 and then went to sleep again to wake up at 6.
Made it to work by 7 only to find that the conf call with India was not going to happen.
Got to move the workshop that was supposed to happen today at Delware to closer to work on Thursday. So back to work on Wed.
need to start documenting and streamlining the work.
Got txt msg from Tara about salsa. which is practically non existent in my life with all the training workshops. Sent her a mail telling her about it.
4:30 training, last two classes I guess. Tomorrow is the precise workshop at the hotel from 10 to 3.
Its been raining on a off on a summer day. strange climate.

Jul 13th tue, Afternoon to Delaware
Tuesday, 13th Jul
-----------------
Nothing major seems to have happened as forecast in the astrological solar eclipse. I am still the same guy, single, not looking really. But with half an eye open.
Was thinking about the comment I got from someone,
I have also learnt a lot from you.
Was it real and sincere,
was it mocking and sarcastic
Well I can say, that if that person learnt from me what I wanted them to learn then they learnt something. And will be happy for them.
But if they just experienced something, and did not think much, did not do any logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, or has poor powers of observation, or choose to ignore the obvious hints and then choose to ignore the bigger picture that I was trying to convey. Then it is not learning.
Rather would classify it as experience they can remember but ignoring any positive content. Which means they did not really learn now.
But if they are fortunate or smart enough with better or improved powers of observation, and analytical thinking. Then maybe they will learn in the future.
Made it out of home by 6:45am and to work by 7am.
again 1st to be in the conf. call. There did not seem to be much to talk about and the call ended by 7:25am
8am called up home and again was bombraded by dad trying to brain wash me into coming to kerala and getting married. Again and again the same old dialouges and emotional black mail.
After that I called up Eva and talked to her for sometime, she seems to have reached Haridwar today morning, had some food at the Shanti ashram in the morning and having upset stomach.
She found dharmashala, kulu, manali as too touristy.
At the ashram they got blessed by someone who thought that they came in there to find themselves and so that guy blessed them with more power and other things :)

Jul 12th Salsa before Delware
Mon, 12th Jul 2010
------------------------
Salsa at Vang tonite before Delware training tomorrow.
Bit of trouble waking up and getting out of bed. Kind of like my rhythm was off.
neyways ready to leave by 6:35am
Made it to work by 6:55am by beating the train/gates.
Ind team was on time by 7:am.
Kris made an announcement that Raj will no longer be able to work in US because of Visa issues. Thats a big bummer. He seems to be a guy who is very sound technically.
Called him up around 8:15am after the conf. Seems to be more a rejection cause of political policies of US than any other. Last day seems to be today and he may go back to Hyd. :(
More pressure on Kris and he is scheduled to leave for India aug 1st week, in about 4 weeks.
Life as a Indian living in US is tough with the sword of Visa rejection always hanging on top our head. Fear of losing a steady income also makes people shrink and scared to say no to unreasonable client requests.
Did not go for the BI training. As I did not see the scope in doing it today and missing out for two days due to training at delaware the next two days
Got home, called up naraya and got his voice. A few mins latter he called back and seems to be down with Cold and had not gone to work.
Was feeling too tired, again the 3 days latter effect. Went to the Bedroom for a nap and ended up getting up around 12midnight with a severe thunderstorm. Guess it was a good thing that I did not go out salsa dancing into the city.
Saw a few missed calls and voice msgs. ahhhhh

Jul 11th New moon day/night
Sunday Jul 11 2010 New Moon
------------------------
Woke up a bit late and was lazy to pack up and move from the Days Inn in Ridgefield to Marriot at Teaneck bag and baggage. :)
At the training our table of 6 guys ended up winning the most points for the whole 3 days of accumulated points, for been on time and the quiz questions.
Reached back home by 5:45pm after starting around 3:45pm. There was one major accident besides the NewArk airport.
On the way, got a call from Bal Atwal via skype that was routed to my cell phone. Talked for a few, did not recognize him for a bit, was wondering who it was.
He asked about Eva, told him had called her a few times nothing much happening there. And as she seems to be having her own plans which I am not a part off. Looks from her blog that her interests are else where.
Well just need to keep myself busy and busier and fill up my brain with so much that I would not have time for my own personal life.
Three days of training and EATING I have gained about 5 lbs. :(
Go for a long walk around 8:pm sit by the lil lake for about 2 hrs watching the stars and sky. Its a new moon night. And supposed to be Solar eclipse in the pacific cook islands. Astrologically a very powerful time for changes.

Jul 10th 2nd day of training
Sat, Jul10 2010
----------------
2nd day of training. woke up after a not so great sleep. Kept waking up almost to the hour. Kind of not focused. Maybe meeting too many people, exposed to too much info, brain on hyper mode, too strong a coffee yesterday at the office HQ.
Call up Srikanth in the neighbouring room around 7:30 to be ready by 8am to reach the Marriot by 8:15am.
Have complimentray breakfast of fruits and starbucks coffee.
Day goes on, with more orientation and networking. Not really sure. But the majority of the guys been Indians, there seems to be a very distinct difference in behavior of the non-Indians and the Indians, who seem to be behaving like kids out of school. :)
And one guy constantly remarking about the american attitude towards work not been that good as Indian, Very touchy subject, and non of the Americans were rude to make any comment about it. One of the subjects was about motivating a 60 year old guy who was in that guys team.

jul 9th off for Training in NJ
Friday, jul 9th 2010
------------------------
jul 9th off for Training in NJ. No salsa for tonite.
So what, need to start focusing on self development.
woke up 4am and need to get out of the house by 5:30 to 6am , There is a 2 hr drive, over 100 miles, have to drive past the locations of jersey city and NY down town parallel on I-95.
Started off @6am.
Sometimes reaching speads of over 80 miles per hr reached destination around 7:45am. That was good driving, traffic could have been worse.
The rent @ marriot was like $260 per night, with company discount it was like 169. Decided to check what the other guys in the camp will be doing.
Turns out that a few booked into the Marriot, others live around the area, few married with kids decided to commute 2hrs each way for the 3 days. I decided to join Srikanth at the Days Inn about 2 miles away.
Breakfast, lunch and snacks were served.
Training was a better understanding of myself as a Integrator manager. Need to get into more of Director/Administrator mode.
There were 3 guys who were with the company for more than 10 years.
The group of about 25 was 21 poople of Indian origin and 4 cacausions.
Evening booked the room from outside the hotel, hijacking the wi-fi, used Hotels.com and got the room for $81 per night. At the desk it was around $100. (Lessons learned from Hiking trip last year).
Then called up Eric the instructor as he proposed meeting up for dinner. They aready left for the river side mall for a restaurant called Monsanto steak house. So asked Srikanth if he was interested. He said yes and so drove over to that place.
Pricey, just having a piece of Steak was like $50 plus $10 tip.
But it was nice to network and getting to know the personal life styles of the two ladies from Mass. One has a dog and carries a gun. The other the unmarried and cuter one was into recruiting for the company, used to drive bikes (motor-750CC).
Back to the motel, my stomach was in revolution mode. should have had lime or wine with the steak.
Watched a bit of TV and and passed out.

Lets see. need to notify Ajit about it as its on Friday and into sunday, may try to check into the marriot itself.
And again there is training at Courtyard Wilmington Newark/Christiana Mall, 48 Geoffrey Drive, Newark, DE 19713 on 13 and 14. Wow the stars of training have all lined up. cheers to getting my mind off, worring about Eva and her safety for sometime.
How is it things seem to happen in a certain way. So much of coincedence and so many things seem to happen in such a way that I could not even dream off. Most of it seems to make me feel good about the future and then suddenly when I start making plans in one direction, things seem to go out of wack. Like life is telling me just go with the flow, your detailed plans and other attractions and expectations will only collapse.
How many times can my soul keep getting beaten and raise up. Sometimes I feel like giving up. Then like a child who forgets the bad experience soon, I just seem to bounce back. Is it because of my own foolishness or my child like sincerity?
Atleast this way I am not thinking negative thoughts much. :)
You can tell someone to go to hell, that’s your right. But wait till tomorrow and see how you feel : )
advice Mr Buffet got from someone. :)
Got call and then mail from aji to go ahead with the training of tomorrow.
Called up Evi around 7:30pm her time. In Dharmasala and enjoying the nature there. :)
maybe going to Manali tomorrow or day after. Good to know that she is safe.
Lunch at home. the other guys are already crying about me not having much work to do.
So return back. need to check on the credit card at TD. guess I am not destined for the TD credit card.
Went there around 5pm and the lady there was not really helpful.
Returned home, was feeling tired. So hit the bed and woke up around 8pm, went for a walk and then talked with AV who was waiting for his flight to San Jose.
Then got down to packing for the weekend training at NJ. Should be a great weekend. will miss out of the latin festival in Philly on sat. :( aww well need to improve self more. FOCUS.

Jul 7th warm sleep day
Wed, Jul-07-2010
-----------------------
Woke up early, was trying to call E on cell to see if they reached safely at Amritsar, Phone seems to be switched off. Hopefully everything is fine and just that they must be in the golden temple. 6:40am time to head to work.
Just barely make it past the first railway gate and get stopped at the 2nd. All because my Ginger Tea was too hot and had to cool it down. Matter of seconds and how things have a cascading effect. Like everything in life. We make choices and there is always a ripple effect. :)
Reach in time of the call @7am. 7:30 it was over, that is a record. led by RajD
Tried calling up to see if E was okay in Amritsar, still phone switched off. Not sure if the guy they met on the train led them to the right place. As she told me yesterday that their train got delayed to start in Delhi and will be reaching Amritsar at mid-night.
Got my Tracking doc in order for the bugs and fixes done.
10 to 11 status meeting with sang
Around 11amEST / 8:30pmIST was able to talk with Eva, she said she was booking hotel for or in Dharmasala and asked to call latter.
Well atleast glad to know that she is doing well. :)
Afternoon went to Rajs house to watch the ger-esp match. Lost $20 betting on Ger.
Got back home and saw the replay. Talked with Nar, told him that I did not like the fact that he tried to set me up with that friend of his. Thou I tried been the good host. She was good enough to call me and leave a message saying that she arrived safely in Huston.
Latter at night called up Anil in dallas and chatted for a bit.

Tuesday, 6th July 2010
-----------------------------
Woke up @2:15am, we were all ready to go by 3:15am, dropped off Sreja at Philadelphia airport by 4:15am. Returned to lansdale by 5:AM and viki takes off to alentown. Try to get a few more winks of sleep in.
7am Not ready for conf call at work. so take it up thru skype.
8am, finish
by 845 completed showering and eating. time to head to work. :) for a 4 day week. :)
10am call up Eva using calling card. Seems to be on a train bound for Amritstar, scheduled to reach Golden temple by midnight. Talked for a few mins. She was not able to hear me. Seems to be planning on staying at the Golden temple, as one guy traveling with them in the train seems to be going close to it and maybe able to take them there.
Got back home around 1:15pm decided to stay back and work from home. Was having a kind of mild head aech and feeling drowsy.
Had some rice and curry and then ended up laying down and trying to connect to work a few times.
wanted to go out running or do something out doors. but ended up indoors..
woke up on the couch around 11pm and then decided to just go to sleep again in the bedroom. :(
Guess I was too tired and worn out after 3 days of hiking and hardly 2 hrs sleep on Moday night to drop of Sreeja and viki at the Phila airport.

Few people drop off and the rest car pool and head to Amans for Indian Buffet. The standard india fair. But the deserts were having a great variety.

July 4th
Sunday, 4th of July 2010
-------------------------------
got out of bed around 830am. need to rush to sidneys place for the july 4th hike in about 2 hrs.
9:30 got call from rajan regarding going out for the fire works, so told him that I was going on a hike and maybe in downtown in the evening, they are having a latin day celebrations at penns landing today. :)
8:10pm Just got back from the hike. 5 hrs of hiking in the heat, one person iin the group got heat stroke. It was an exhausting 5 hrs especially for me as I got to sleep for just 3 hrs before I woke up called up home.
Talked with Aunt who is having B-cancer. She is slowly starting to eat more soup and sounded exhausted. She is staying with the other aunt.
Adhira got a admission into one of the Engineering colleges. So she is focusing on becoming an engineer than becoming a doctor.
Wish she would have tried to become a doc instead. :(
Thru out the hike I was kind of sleepy and brain dead. So was not really social with the new members of the hike.
Feel bad, but the conditions were like that.
Raj was trying get me to stay in downtown so that he could get a ride back with me after the fire works. I was in no mood to stay till 11pm as the fire works starts @ 10:30pm after sunset which is around 9:30-10pm
on the way back stopped for a few mins at a stage in downtown where they were playing latin music and danced one salsa with a gal who was wearing sandles. poor gal.
but that kind of made me feel energetic.
then most of us took the train back to chestnut hill. I got into my car, feeling the cramps starting in my leg.
Last time I felt cramped was at Yosomethi hike with Eva and was sore for the rest of the week. That did not allow me to be confident to go down the Grand Canyon. I am suddenly reminded how eva was again upset only thinking about her own needs and not even caring to understand how much of physical pain I was in and had driven from Yosomethie to Las Vegas non stop, while she slept.
That night at Las vegas I said no matter what I am going to enjoy this night. And if you are coming with me come but don't expect me to drive you back if you are feeling bored. I motivated myself to enjoy your hobbies and your fancies. And this is something I like, the least she could do was be nice. But all she did was sulk and it and had a stand-offish face and did not want to enjoy the nighly beauty of Las Vegas. All she thought was this so not European about Ceasers palace. Hey this the least they could do and I think they did it in grand style.
Then I liked the next day at Hoover dam. as she seem to mellow down in the heat and I was feeling better about her attitude.

Long weekend starts
Sat jul-03-2010
--------------------
Start of long weekend, Now the question of prioritizing, so many choices to pick from.
Was nice to Malinis mail telling me that her parents were going off to meet her cousin and so she will have time to go out salsa dancing. Rather she was ordering me in a cute way, you better make time for me. :)
sweeter was her comment that she thinks that I am a nice guy "I can see you being mr. too nice and girls taking you for a ride - so next time be extra cautious"
Just told her that I have been having a bad luck when it comes to love and the girls I meet seem to take me for granted.
wow how did she know all this, I did not even tell her anything about my life. And now she wants to be the person who wants to filter the girls I may be interested in., hehehe
Mail from eva, still gathering info about the strike. Not sure how its in Gujarat. Atleast after knowing the way there was the religious massacre there, I imagine that they will be trying to build up support against the Central government to show and inspire their own party people and strengthen their local support.
I would have gone on Sunday to the nearest hotel to the railway station and stayed. Just hope that things are not crazy in Gujju land.
Time for horoscope hehehehe nothing like positive words of motivation.
Daily Horoscope for Saturday, July 3
Your sweet, romantic side comes out today in full force, and you may need to show someone how much fun love can be! Even if you're just casually dating, you can make a serious impression.
Got msg from Tara to meet @ 10:30am for hiking near to my apartment.
Then going for the Beer hike with Sidney and gang in the afternoon.
And tomorrow the 4th of july hike to downtown philly again with Sidney
12:15 It was great meeting Tara and hiking with her talking about all kinds of stuff and laughing about it. She is half Punjabi, born and brought up in this lil town.
We were walking around the hike, for a few rounds, guess she had to leave to her cousins graduation party, great thing she dances salsa too. cheers
Returned to call up Narayan, who is still planning on trying to push that malu on to me. Said he is coming to my place on monday and wants me to show her Philly. Damm he tricked me into helping drop her off at the airport.
Went out hiking this time there was a huge group. Maybe because there was beer afterwards. Met a sweet and quite gal Jil who moved here from Balti. Her sweet way of talking kind of touched my heart, just like an year ago E did. So will she turn out to be a bi-polar angry women like E is something that remains to be seen. And much to my surprise she dances salsa too. Wohoo looks like there are lot of people out dancing salsa here.
After the hike we all went to the Earth Brewery and had some amazing beer made inhouse..
Don't know where I got the courage, but in front of everyone I asked jil for her ph number before leaving.
8 pm headed towards downtown. 9:30 there was pre-july4th fire works on the Delaware river. awesome. Around 10:30 hit brasils just as the class was getting over. 12:30 went over to cubalibrae, which was packed to the teeth.
3am back home and uploaded the pics of hike.

Long weekend
Friday Jul-02-2010
------------------------
Long weekend,
woke up early as I went to sleep early. Wanted to go for a run yesterday, but was feeling lazy and end up surfing the net . Was thinking of calling up Delmoo but with the time difference ended up forgetting to call. Hoping to motivate her from her feeling down and what ever she is going thru in vancovuer.
Was surprised sweetly when early morning I got msg from her about missing our chats. awww that is some kind of sweet connection. Hopefully I should call her tonite or afternoon. lets see.
Thinking about an issue that has come up because of assumption in the design phase of the work. Have to now trace out where the Cust id is going into Sieb data.
have to now look for people who maybe able to lead me to the right answers or towards the right people to ask the questions.
Made it by just seconds past the two Railway gates and was able to come and park in my fav spot.
7:15 I hear india group join in, its 7:20 and no sign of conf starting, then Raj joins in as the leader and the music stops. 7:28am kris joins in. 7:53 the conf ends
Chatting with Eva, slowly we are limping back to been better friends.
Was trying to tell her about the nation wide strike on monday by the opposition party. Just as a precaution to go and stay in a hotel close to the railway station.
She seemed to be sure there is nothing going to happen. Maybe in Gujarat they may not be participating as strongly as in other opposition based states.
Lets see. I did my part of wanting to do good. And hopefully things will happen as she says "nothing" hehehe.
Every one here is planning on going somewhere for the long weekend. And i am planning on a series of hikes. Narayan seems to be very much bent and wanting me to meet his friend sreeja, she is coming from Texas. Hoping that there will be some change in my heart and that we both will end up marrying.
He even got her to book ticket to Philly and that way he has the excuse of getting her to my house. Master schemer. I have so far flatly told him that I cannot entertain her and that I am not ready for another relationship. Its not fair to her or to me myself. Feel too much of distrust towards women to be able to open myself from all the hurt.
One person I decide to open my heart upto ends up hurting me so much. Hopefully with better constant interaction with Eva, I hope to forget the past pain and replace it with warm love and friendship.
I think I am slowly back to been single and enjoying been single and without responsibility or commitment to anyone.
Free as a bird, thou my heart wishes to be with someone special
to share the beauty of this world and my heart
so filled with love and wanting to love and
shower my love on that special someone.
Love has its own rhyme or reason.
There was a reason why the past one year, circumstances seem to all lead towards Eva. Is this the final out come.
Or is there some other miracle waiting to happen
Or is there someone special going to enter into my life,
Did not hear from malani, may suggest that she get her parents out for the long weekend hike all the 3 days.
Surely I am not that interested in one month fun that Eliza seems to hint at. But will try to introduce her to Salsa tonite.
Eva said her friend is getting married on Sep 4th she I guess is the best lady. So she might be busy with the wedding.
Afternoon got out of Work with kris, went to dosa house, nice interior. Had Rava-Masala-Dosa with onion bhaji as appetiser. wooo was feeling full the whole night. Should stop eating Potatoes, seem to cause lot of gas inside me.
Ashih wanted to go out and get drunk at some sports bar in the evening. Call up Eliza and leave a msg about going to salsa in the evening @ 9:30pm
Got the registeration plates for Pennsylvania,, yeahhhh atlast after month of tension

He even got her to book ticket to Philly and that way he has the excuse of getting her to my house. Master schemer. I have so far flatly told him that I cannot entertain her and that I am not ready for another relationship. Its not fair to her or to me myself. Feel too much of distrust towards women to be able to open myself from all the hurt.
One person I decide to open my heart upto ends up hurting me so much. Hopefully with better constant interaction with Eva, I hope to forget the past pain and replace it with warm love and friendship.
I think I am slowly back to been single and enjoying been single and without responsibility or commitment to anyone.
Free as a bird, thou my heart wishes to be with someone special
to share the beauty of this world and my heart
so filled with love and wanting to love and
shower my love on that special someone.
Love has its own rhyme or reason.
There was a reason why the past one year, circumstances seem to all lead towards Eva. Is this the final out come.
Or is there some other miracle waiting to happen
Or is there someone special going to enter into my life,
Did not hear from malani, may suggest that she get her parents out for the long weekend hike all the 3 days.
Surely I am not that interested in one month fun that Eliza seems to hint at. But will try to introduce her to Salsa tonite.
Eva said her friend is getting married on Sep 4th she I guess is the best lady. So she might be busy with the wedding.
Afternoon got out of Work with kris, went to dosa house, nice interior. Had Rava-Masala-Dosa with onion bhaji as appetiser. wooo was feeling full the whole night. Should stop eating Potatoes, seem to cause lot of gas inside me.
Ashih wanted to go out and get drunk at some sports bar in the evening. Call up Eliza and leave a msg about going to salsa in the evening @ 9:30pm
Got the registeration plates for Pennsylvania,, yeahhhh atlast after month of tension

New month-July
Thursday - 01-jul-2010
-----------------------------
Woke up well rested today, started with Breathing and holding breath and then moved on for wash and then water therapy. Hydration of physical self is among the most important features of Body care.
Checked the Monthly forecast, sweet, how much of it is true , but it is filled with some positive excitement.
Your Horoscope - July 2010
Expect an exciting month with Jupiter and Uranus together in Aries and trine Sagittarius. Life will be unpredictable and full of variety, giving you the chance to explore new options. Sudden developments in your love life will create interest. Venus in Leo will bring affectionate encounters and a sense of fun and enjoyment. You may take a short trip with friends, a female family member, or your partner. An emphasis on the sign of Cancer will bring out a need to take care of others and be supportive. This would be an excellent time to host a potluck dinner or barbeque.
Love Forecast:
There isn't a possessive bone in your body, Sag, but once in a while a certain set of planetary alignments occur and you do get territorial. Pluto's long stay in the house of what you feel you own provokes an inventory of those things that belong to you. With the lucky Jupiter and the sudden-action Uranus slowing down to a stop this month, you may feel your relationship is on the edge. A July 11 Solar Eclipse in the house of sexy love helps you close a romantic deal. The July 26 Full Moon evokes serious words of love from the evasive Sag.
--------------
Got to work around 7am, only to find a mail saying that the conf was not happening today. Then i get a software patch update, click on that and all the applications shut down and the update goes on for 45 mins.
Yesterday had seen Del having some issues and posting on face book. was thinking of calling her and because I ended up falling asleep early was not able to call her as she is 3 hrs behind in time line.
Poor smart gal. Maybe I will call her tonite. And maybe inject some positive happiness into her with my words :)
Just realize, that I did not have dinner yesterday and for lunch I just had a few spoons of yogurt for lunch . And now rushed to work with just half a glass of milk. Damm no wonder I was feeling exhausted yesterday.
I need to get some food in today afternoon or I may collapse.
got chatting with Eva about trip to Zlin and Brno. Have to see where I can get the best and cheapest deal. Pack light and most of all have to get my leave worked out with Ajit.
2:30 to 4:30 HLdmeeting almost slept thru
4:30 to 6 BiTraining.
not really sure where all this is leading, not much work at work. mostly billing the client and not really productive. But need this to pay my bills and save money for the future. God only knows what kind of work I will be able to get after 2 years with all the different kinds of technology coming in the next couple of years.
Scary
Completed 3 months of living with out TV. When I say that to people, they are looking at me as thou I am weird.
But hey its leaving me with a lot of free time. Need to channel it into more positive side. :)
Its a journey. Almost weekend. Can't wait to see whats in store for me this month.
