Friday, Sep 10 2010
-------------------

This was the day, ten years ago, I was first in New Jersey(jersey city) and New York.

Singing What a beautiful day,,,,, :)

Todays forecast ;)

The Moon in Libra trines Neptune and conjuncts Mars tonight, bringing possibilities for romance to the forefront. This is a great opportunity for a date night, as magic is in the air. Falling in love could come easily now and it's easy to get swept off your feet by someone enchanting.

hmmmmm that remains to be seen. will I be able to again meet the gal I had a wonderful time dancing last weekend? She was so sportive and seemed so sincere and down to earth.

Reached work aroun 7:30am. Kind of sems to be a slow day, lets see. I got in a cup of coffee with 3 spoon full of sugar. I am feeling highly charged and optimistic, no one is in the room, its about 8:30. People seem to only come after 9:30 or 10.

now we have a team building lunch set up for every friday afternoon. Self sponsored off course. And no way am I going for sushi or chinese.

Ended up going to Dosa hut and they had the weekend special Hyderabadi Biriyani ,, Dum ka biriyani.... yummyy after such a long time. Last time I had a good biriyani was in Vancouver. Just that this one costed double that of the one in Vancouver. this was 14.30, with tip 16. The biriayani in Vancouvers Al watan was just about 7.89 CAD.

Well this was after such a long time and my first real biriyani in USA.

4:30 got off work, dropped off any at house, went to the bank to see if my visa from them would work in spain. yea,, it turns out that it will. now have to decide on how much Euros I need to take with me.

Around 5:30 get call from malini, was driving back from work. talk for a few then ask her to call after she gets back home to confirm the plan for dinner, she calls back latter and suggests Italian-o. yea well that it is before salsa.
meet at 8pm in downtown, so ask her to call me before she starts from her house. And then we can plan on tomorrows hike.

get to downtown around 8pm. make it to the Italian restaurant. It was BYOB, wow, the first time I am going to a restaurant where they say BYOB. The appetizers were great, the food was okay, also had mussels after a very long time. Used to have that fried at home in kerala... yummyy the friend ones are. ahh now I got it, its called Kal-ma-kai in kerala. as it grows or breads on the rocks. :)

Then out dancing salsa, even thou there were not many people, was able to dance a few with others and malin. Surprisingly evet also turned up there.
