================
After finishing cooking a veggie curry yesterday and having a great dinner. Watched a bit of Soccer on line and then passed out on the couch. Guess my body has caught up with the continous work out.
Woke up with the thoughts of the series of meetings I have an interview to check out the girl in Bangalore to support me. She seemed demanding in the mail. Not a good sign. But with no one else avaliable in the company with the skill sets it does not look good. OR maybe she is young very young, just out of engineering about 3 years ago and must be filled up with EGO of someone who thinks that she has conqured the world. And more because of on not many people in India know what S-CTI is . aww well, if she is fortunate she will learn after a few falls and when her ego gets puntured, she will come back to earth a bit atleast. fingers corssed for coordinating the interview.
now there was a confusion about the 1-800 bridge number we have a conf daily on. Had to switch to a new one as the earlier one was been used by Ajit. he been the boss had the right to it more than us.
Saw the blog updates of eva, seems to be improving her thoughts or rather the presentation of her thought with more examples. Guess that is called improving with practice.
Sent her a msg on igoogle chat and she suddenly changed her status to busy and sent a msg that she was busy. Guess her boss must have seen her blog and decided to give her more work or maybe something else.
Life and lifes twists.
Seasons come in fixed cycles
Heat, Rain, Flowery spring, Cold.
But the core of the Earth remains
Just like our own selves and our relationships
They are made to face the severe extrems,
just for a season,
Testing our deep strength
Rewarding with simple pleasures,
Punishing with pain,
To see if we are cowards to give up and run away
Hide we may for a few fleeting moments
But have to face the facts and the seasons again
Better and more stable to stick to the tested known.
Than the untested, unknown.
12:30 to 1pm Got to interview Shewta the gal in bangalore. Thou she is good at communicaiton. Her bullshitting and lack of proper exposure to the CTI stood out and also the fakness of her resume.
But she is the only one available in the company for the offshore CTI work. It was as good as having a dummy person there.
1:pm get into another meeting with the middle ware guys. upto 2pm. guess the Avaya guys will be taking care of the moc-pop.
Ask matt for another secession on the cti, wanted to see the call back function.
Guys here are talking about the new Version of iPhone and the new version of the OS.
Around 3: mat calls and we are trying to set up the Dev3 to AvayaDev. Succeed in getting call thru, but no pop.
4:30 to training out by 6pm to meet Ajit to brief him about the interview. Then he asks me to prepare a power point about the 1pm meeting with diagrams. ahhhh its 7pm now getting home a preparing the ppt would take all night.
Get home and start putting the diagrams together and then put another slide with the sequence of work flow. Finish by 9pm and send it to Ajit for review. 10:36 get a reply from him that we can put in some more things in the morning and send it to client. pfff.. hehehe, that sounds like evi

Don't feel that tired
Monday, Jun-21-2010
+++++++++++++++++
Wake up around 4:30am with some kind of weird dream. Then try to lay down and rest. As mentally I am thinking about the hiking that I did yesterday for 7.5 hrs. So get out of bed by 6am.
Make it to work by 7:am by avoiding the route with the train tracks.
Chatting with Eva on igoogle, she seems a bit angry, no hi or how are u doing, just seemed more like American tone of talking. is she becoming Americanized ? hehehe, that would be something.
Got around to chatting with her a bit more. It was getting interesting. Then she suddenly disappeard, with out even a bye. That felt rude and bad.
Anways got chatting with George for moc realted information. And also got to know that he baked the blueberry cake for all of us guys here and left it in the office for us to eat. That was very sweet of him.
Studied the EDU and universal Queue related to moc and avaya. Not really sure who Tanya bull shitted about it.
12 get to post office post the check for the heat and elect. then head home to cook rice and had it with yogurt (curd) and ginger pickle.
need to get back to work soon.
Had a good discussion with Matt on working out the CTI set up with Avaya. install avaya on my comp, then 4:30 head down from the war room for the OBIE training but got canceled :(
Do a few tests and send the mail to India regarding moc-pop.
Came across this article on Water therapy Something I have been practicing regularly for the past 10 years.

Sunday, to hike or not
Sunday 20th June 2010
------------------------------
Still tired from yesterdays hike around New York City. Loved the people energy there. hmmm not to forget all the beautiful revealing bodies that turned up there with bare minimum on a warm summer day. ;)
There is a hike again today Chestnut Hill Manayunk Loop. 5.5 hrs hike. Starting around 10:45am.
Then there is this Birthday party of an Indian colleagues son to attend to in the evening. Need to buy a gift for that. There about 10 to 20 Indian guys working closely in my team and all of them have kids. So its like about 20 to 30 birthdays of the kids I need to be attending to and trying to adjust to their thinking and life from different parts of India.
Put my cloths up into the washer, advantage of having washer dryer at home. Don`t need a special day for that to go to the launderomat.
Cook up Ginger - masala tea. nice.
watch the slovak- paraguay match on internet.. sad slovak lost 2 - 0 . Funny how attached I am feeling towards Czech and slovak . Wished that she was here to experience all this with me.
But she never even gave us a chance to work it out and be together to live past the storm. One little wind and she just gave up and went looking for bigger better deals. Well that was something I was afraid off with her. But wanted her to be with me on her own and not because I wanted her to be with me badly. That would also be like trying to manipulate her to be with me.
I wanted her to go experience India, maybe check out and then after that make up her mind. that is a choice she made.
If she was a person with the mentality of going to leave me and go for some other then its better she do that now and not after we marry or have kids. Its better her unstable mentality come out to the front and reveal itself about her lack of commitment and not willing to try her best to make the relationship work. Atleast I was able to prove to myself that I was committed and wanted to work out the relationship. Showed and proved to myself that I was a person of honor and principle and reliability. She proved that she was not someone I could rely on and that she is bound to change her feelings, emotions and commitment. That was something I wanted to be sure about her before I felt confident about her fully.
Ohh god, about 10am, heading for the hike decided
will try to call her from the hike. my poor innocent baby Evita, miminko. Miss her calling me Surya and mimi and pulzinko,,, god I am,,,,,,,,,,,.
10:35 reach the start point of the hike.
Call up Eva while waiting for Sidney who was leading the hike. Talk to her for a few mins, she seemed to be talking very slowly as thou she was drunk or on drugs. Hope she is not sick or something.
Meet a few new people in the group hike. Also get to meet two new Indians one guy Ashish who stays close to where I live and the gal Anu who seems to be from Delhi, felt a bit of snobbish vibe from her, said she danced competitive ball room and also dances salsa. Well she did not look much of a great dancer.
Around 3 we reach Manayunk , have lunch at a mexican place, fill up the water. Pretty hot and humid day. Then again after 30 mins we start off for the rest of the hike. Compete it by 6:30pm. 7.5hrs of hiking. tired.
Returning back stop at Wall mart to buy a gift for eaklavays kids birthday. Get a gift for $19 and head back home for a quick shower and head off to the party. Filled with Indian guys, their wifes and kids. Me the only bachelor. Not really able to feel their jokes and frequency.
One of their fav jokes was to make fun of Kriss who does not drink. And all these guys care to drink is the Whisky. Not really my kind of jokes to make fun of just one guy.
get back home by 10pm all ready to jump into bed.

sat hike
d Sat - 19 Jun 2010
*****************
Wake up kind of grouchy with just 3 hrs sleep after returning late night from Salsa dancing last night. Got to meet a terrific hot looking dancer from Ukarine, must be having Uzebek heritage. She seems to have the background of a ball room dancer and very elegant.
Anyways have to be at the Hamilton Train station by 9am in New Jersey, its about an hours drive.
Get chatting with eva a bit on skype and gtalk.
then had to rush to get ready.
Reached Hamilton grand parking spaced station at 9am phew after getting lost on the way a couple of times.
Then brought the tickets,, $30 for return trip to new york. had I known this, I would have just drive to New york.
took the 9:30 train
Reached New york arounc 10:30 - 11. got out and then went to the number 2 subway station for train towards Brooklyn bridge. Decided to take the day pass for $8.75.
Got down at Church st of chambers and walked a few blocks in downtown to reach the Bridge. Holly cow, the whole world seems to have decided to come there this particular lovely warm day. Many people were biking and running on the bridge too. Great view of the city from there. So many people from different parts of the world all speaking different languages.
Mostly today I get to hear a lot of French. Was expecting to meet a few eastern european, Czech or slovak :) but came across non, I guess they are all hiking up in the National Parks.
Walked across the length of the bridge and reached garden dedicated to the WW fighters. Sat there had a snack and decided to call home. Ended up talking with dad, who was again trying to convince me to get back home and marry. Then he asked about eva, did not know what to tell him. So just said, hey you told me that the astrological horoscopes don`t match so it did not work. Then he was trying to get me to ignore the horoscope and just marry if I like her. Oh god, this is so frustrating, how do I tell him that it takes two willing people to do that and now she is not even interested in talking to me leave alone the far and distant marriage.
Mom was at her Ancestral home of her mothers. They were having some pooja there in honor of her ancestors so she was there with the rest of her family and relations. Dad been not so religious and more of a communist - atheist did not go.
After the talk with Dad, wanted to call up Eva, but was feeling so bad after the talk with Dad. Just did not have the mental motivation to call her up.
Walked around the garden and then went to the walk way by the brooklyn bridge.
Took a train back to down town to Penn Station. was feeling a bit hungry, stopped by a Halal way side food stall and ordered chicken-lamb combo with rice. The guys looked like they are from Afganistan, seemed very friendly towards me but seemed angry towards the other people . Anyways take the package and try to find a place to sit down eat. nothing seems to be around. End up walking from 33rd street to 42nd st on 8th Ave. this used to be the area I used to walk around during weekends with my childhood friend Younous when we were in New York. about 10 years ago. He is back in India after 9-11. poor guy got sent back from the airport.
Reach time square, wow they have small tables and chairs out in the open in the middel of times square. So end up with a vacant table and chair and have my yummy chicken lamb combo, something like a falafel. all just for $5. Eating Right in front of the doors of NASDAQ.
Sit down for sometime, taking in the mass of people and tourists from all over the world pass by, and many new york latin americans going about showing off their super shapely bodies and oozing of sexiness. Maybe shallow. but definitely a very good treat for the eyes and adding to the glamor of the location.
3pm debating to go for a show on 42nd street or to the Museum in Central park. Pass by the crowds of 42nd street and then decide to check the movies playing. Nothing seems to appeal. So go the subway again and take the number 1 to 72nd street on the west side. Upper west side is really cleaner and seems to be filled with super rich people. Walk towards (eastwards) to Central park. oh my god. this is like a giant picnic place lots of activity going on.
There seems to be some dance event going on all around the park, just like the jazz fest in Vancouver, but with more people and more events.
Hang in there for sometime, fill up water, get a few free ice tea that was been given out to people. Walk towards the museum. But end up taking the wrong turn in the park and had to walk from the lower end of the park to the middle. something like 10 to 15 blocks. Phew this is getting tiring.
Reach the museum and see there is a lot of international crowd there too. got put off by the $20 entry fee. Maybe good to go there with someone special and who is into the arts, history and culture.
Get out and sit on the steps with 100s of others , beautiful and calming it is.
Around 5pm slowly made my way to the 86th street and lexinton(on 4th Ave I think) and took a subway from there to Grand central Station. Saw lots of security on top with special weapons and dogs there. take a few pics of the grand Architecture and then take the shuttle train (S train) to 42nd street and times square . And from there get back to 34th street by the number 3 train. Get out into the open and slowly walk, its almost 6pm now. See that there is some WWF event happening in Madison square Garden and the crazy fans were there to see their stars getting in.
How different the interests of people in the world are. These guys seem to live to just see the fake fighting and drama on WWF. Its like they are part of the drama.
Guess we all are part of the drama of life and end up getting too deeply in love with something or other. It must be a human necessity. Thats may also be why we are so social creatures, when we don`t have that much attachment to family then we tend to get attached to something else to compensate the non attachment to family. That is something that seems to be there in some of the American Psyche.
Go and check the next NJ transit train is at 7:01 pm, have about 40 mins to spend, get out again from the station and hang around watching the crowd of WWF fans, there are kids as small as 3 and 4 years old with their parents. Wow what an exposure to violence these kids get even at that young age.
America is so truly filled up with all the different types of people. That is what makes America special. Thou it may seem weird that other people have different life style and interests than us, respecting that difference and been understanding to that is what is the core strength of this country. Not always possible but I see that it is practiced and enforced in such a way that people are doing it by their own choice and freedom.
Get into the train around 6:55pm , There is a couple of Chinese students new to US and studying in US sitting besides me. Talk for a few with them. they seem to be having difficulty with English. but seem to be very polite and nice.
So different from the Chinese in Vancouver, who are always aggressive and seem so rude.
8:30 reach back to Hamilton station, the battery on my iPhone is almost dead, need it to get back home with the GPS.
End up paying ab out $7 for the Weekend parking at the station, wow it is really costly to go to New York by train.
Next time I am driving all the way to Jersey city. parking for $8 and then taking the all day metro pass for another $8. instead of this $30+$7+$8 I ended up pay, and not to mention the tolls i had to pay using the highway to Hamilton station about $6. over all $50 .
Get back home around 9:45pm

Customs dept
Friday the 18 of Jun 2010
++++++++++++++++++++
Got up early thinking of hitting the 7am train to downtown philly. then realised that it was peak hr commute and would cost more. So attended the 7 to 7:30 meeting with Kolkata India which as usual spilled into 8am.
Saw Eva come online on gtalk. did seem to be replying to my greetings. :(
then took the 8:50am train to Philly, reached there by 10am
Went to the US Customs house which also had the Homeland security and Passport office. Heavy security just like entering the airport and run by 3 idots who seem to be frustrated at their job.
Got thru and went into one of the office which had a big crowd and turns out to be the passport office. Entered the other door opposite , hardly any one around, then a older african american lady comes over and asks me how can i help you. Tell her about my vehicle documents needed by the DMV. So she goes over to a Customs Inspector and tells him about me. That was very touching.
After a few mins he comes over, was very understanding and he asked me where was my car. told him it was at my house. He said that was okay, he filled up the forms i had no clue about and stamped them. The stamp was one thing that was supposed to have happend when the Truck driver got the car in at the border.
Phew ! that was easy. Some people make life so easy with their kindness and understanding. May god bless him and his family.
get out with a huge sense of relief and walk around Penns landing, There was a couple of USS navel ship anchored in the river. what a magnificent sight. :)
Bright blue skies,
current of water flowing down the river,
man made vessels trying to co exist with the natures turbulence,
and make life easy of man and his needs.
Man is all very powerful in his desire to achieve with his persistence to bend across nature and make way for a comfortable life for himself and his family.
11:00 get back to 30th street and at 11:16 get on to the R5 train to penbrook.
12:10 reach penbrook and at home heat up the rice and have it with yogurt (curd).
Once again did not make curry, maybe i will have it with scrambled eggs.
Drop off the customs documents at FIAZO for the DMV , hope to get the Registration done soon.
get to work, do a few more tests to see if the code was fixed , cleaned up the code a bit and moved it into the Dev server.
updated the Quality documents to reflect the changes I made.
Thinking of joining the hiking group going to New York tomorrow morning. Did not know that New york city had something to hike in. Well it should be a good discovery phase for me. keeping options open
Right now having vodka orange juice, bloody mary as its known. And head back to down town for some sexciting salsa.
Feel like letting go of everything I hold as dear and sincere and become a insincere guy just talking things that the girls want to hear. Bloodly hell no one seems to care for the real nice guy in me. They just take me for granted and not even appreciate me for all the goodness I stand for. lets see how I feel when I get there.

Saw Eva come online on gtalk. did seem to be replying to my greetings. :(
then took the 8:50am train to Philly, reached there by 10am
Went to the US Customs house which also had the Homeland security and Passport office. Heavy security just like entering the airport and run by 3 idots who seem to be frustrated at their job.
Got thru and went into one of the office which had a big crowd and turns out to be the passport office. Entered the other door opposite , hardly any one around, then a older african american lady comes over and asks me how can i help you. Tell her about my vehicle documents needed by the DMV. So she goes over to a Customs Inspector and tells him about me. That was very touching.
After a few mins he comes over, was very understanding and he asked me where was my car. told him it was at my house. He said that was okay, he filled up the forms i had no clue about and stamped them. The stamp was one thing that was supposed to have happend when the Truck driver got the car in at the border.
Phew ! that was easy. Some people make life so easy with their kindness and understanding. May god bless him and his family.
get out with a huge sense of relief and walk around Penns landing, There was a couple of USS navel ship anchored in the river. what a magnificent sight. :)
Bright blue skies,
current of water flowing down the river,
man made vessels trying to co exist with the natures turbulence,
and make life easy of man and his needs.
Man is all very powerful in his desire to achieve with his persistence to bend across nature and make way for a comfortable life for himself and his family.
11:00 get back to 30th street and at 11:16 get on to the R5 train to penbrook.
12:10 reach penbrook and at home heat up the rice and have it with yogurt (curd).
Once again did not make curry, maybe i will have it with scrambled eggs.
Drop off the customs documents at FIAZO for the DMV , hope to get the Registration done soon.
get to work, do a few more tests to see if the code was fixed , cleaned up the code a bit and moved it into the Dev server.
updated the Quality documents to reflect the changes I made.
Thinking of joining the hiking group going to New York tomorrow morning. Did not know that New york city had something to hike in. Well it should be a good discovery phase for me. keeping options open
Right now having vodka orange juice, bloody mary as its known. And head back to down town for some sexciting salsa.
Feel like letting go of everything I hold as dear and sincere and become a insincere guy just talking things that the girls want to hear. Bloodly hell no one seems to care for the real nice guy in me. They just take me for granted and not even appreciate me for all the goodness I stand for. lets see how I feel when I get there.

Beautiful day
Thursday Jun, 17 2010
*********************
Got up early after going to sleep early and mentally tired.
Then got to see sweet mail from Eva. Made my day also the Snow ball effect of our thoughts and the need to control them.
Replied back to her mail about my thoughts about the US and Indian way of thinking and life.
Cheers heading to shower now.
Get to work by 6:50am. cheers almost empty parking lot.
7:00am log on to the call and kriss gets in still sleepy at 7:05am. Indian group seemed to be on time today.
7:41 meeting ends with lots of discussion on code changes.
Beautiful day, was smiling and getting smiles back even from drivers who were driving by me. And its bright and sunny outside, not hot, not cold.
Just pleasent.
Chatted with Eva for some time. Wish she would open up more. Because like before., it always seems that she is just listening and I am having a monlouge . Not really sure if its just her personality to listen or if what I am trying to communicate is way above her ability to understand. Or if she is just taking in the information and not able to process it or she is just too taken in by all the new things I keep thinking and rolling off to her.
But she has this way of making me think about things no other women made me think. Only wish that we had met under better circumstances.
But now when the circumstances have improved and was good for us to try living as a couple and trying to see how we can work out our life and synchronize.
She is just not willing to. And seems to have a huge wall up. Well I tried all possible.
11:am got chating with Li about the Moc pop, she is in New Jersey and needed info about the Siebel works with Avaya
Series of emails back and forth between people. And I got chatting with Li on the internal company chat app
12:30 head home have the rest of the frozen pizza and a glass of milk.
Get back to work. still trying to figure out the solution for the issue with the program code. Trying asking Kriss for help he seemed to be busy. Think I will make one last attempt. almost frustrating to the point of giving up
Suddenly have another brain strom. And apply that . Wooo hooo it worked like magic after compiling.
Ahhh what a sense of achievement. It should not have taken more than half a day and I took like 5 days. All because I was looking at it in a very different way. Just had to pull back and look at it differently and the solution appears. I was defining the poblem wrong. I was looking at some symptom and trying to fix that, when in fact the symptom was the result of issues else where.
Just like life, have to just pull back and look where the real issue is.
Feel really charged up after having fixed this bug. Sometimes solutions are right in front of us, but we are not able to see it. So much for my own ego getting kicked in the butt. I am more humbled now. Thats another good learning lesson.
4:30 get to the training again and out by 5:30
Ajit wanted to know the Moc Pop was a desktop app or a Internet browser based. After the training go to the Call center and ask them , also get to see that its a IE based app, not a desktop app.
Feeling really charged. Called up the Dept of labour to complain about the company not having paid me the wages for two weeks of work done in New York. But kept getting the wrong sub -department. might try tomorrow.
Narayan called me again. Trying to get me to commit to meeting the malu lady friend of his.
I kept telling him no, I am not ready to do anything like that. He was trying to have her fly over to Philly and then have me pick her up at the airport. I told him I don't have a car that is registered and I cannot take the risk of driving like that.
Hope I don't get weak and fall for the pressure tactics he is using.
Also have to go out for my customs documentation tomorrow as I am driving a car with out any registration.
Lets see it almost 7pm if I can cook any curry up.

Day, how will it be?
Wednesday Jun-16-2010
===================
Woke up 5am and was up and about. Had a troubled sleep. Because of work, issue of fixing bug, hope that gets resolved soon.
Thinking about aunt and wish there was something I could do.
And over all an uneasy feeling.
Just made it to work around 7:10am joined in the daily conf call.
and found that the meeting of 8:am for CTI in india needed to be moved to 9:30am to 10:30am, which must 7pm to 8pm IST.
Saw a horoscope forecast
Your energy is largely focused on -- if not devoted to -- the concept of love right now. Love really is all you need, especially when it arrives in such an amazing package. Someone has recently entered (or is just about to enter) your life, and you feel like they may actually be too good to be true. Stop pinching yourself and just open your eyes -- this really is happening to you, and you don't want to miss it.
Is this possible, or is this something good to motivate myself into thinking that something positive is going to happen to me soon. Well either way it feels nice to read something flattering and something good to look forward to.
Its in a way like the words or philosophy and positive reaffarmation :)
Lets see how the day moves ahead. almost 7:50 am now
Get chatting with Eva on the iGoogle. saw her blog liked the part
Ideal action = generate energy + avoid dissipation of energy
What generates the dissipation of energy:
- regrets over dead past
- anxieties of unknown future
- excitement over living present (indispensability syndrome)
But i think that is part of living and learning.
It was nice chatting with eva on philosophy, wish she was more verbal and able to articualte her views when we talk. That way we could easily help each other think more and understand the wonderful world of Pshycology , Philosophy, Religion, Behavior, Nature, Dancing, Hiking.
Well what ever happens she is a different girl. Not every one is like her, wish we had better circumstance to have met. All seemed so hurry hurry and not enough time to really get to know each other on a spiritual and emotional level.
And realising that I wanted to get back together and made all possible effort. But she seems to have a very high wall up against me and not even wanting to consider.
Unfortunately relationships need the willingness of two people at the same time in life. :)
Just because one person is willing does not mean there is a possibility of anything happening. Sad reality. I hope she really finds what she is really looking for. And not get confused with what she sees there in India and fall for smooth talking people.
I can only wish the best for her and hope that she stays sincere and not loose the sense of truthfullness and honesty.
Hope that she not be that naieve and foolish to fall into the trap of some smooth talking people. Who will just lead her and use her for what ever self serving reasons.
9:30 meeting with Indian team and the possible future person who will be helping me / assisting me with my work from Bangalore.
10:30 status meeting for r19
12:noon start of with a question to Murali about the feasibility of using EAI for a screen pop. And one by one all the guys chip in and everyone seems to be having a brilliant idea better than the other.
In the end Eaklavs Idea seems to be making much more sense. Go up to the call center and check out with Anish and see that in the past 2 months they had a change in the way of operating. They used to use 2 computer, now they are using only one. So this goes easily with the model suggested by Eaklav.
1pm head off with Raj D to his house and then took him to the post office so that he could post some important doc for his wifes job in India.
1:50 pm reach home have lunch, Curd rice for the 2nd day. no meat, no veggie, no curry. just plain rice and yogurt.
Not able to connect to work again. Reboot system and the try to establish connection with wireless. took some time. Then around 4:15pm head back to work so that I can get to the training at 4:30. Around 6:30 pm get back home.
Sit out and start thinking about the path taken by my life.
Don't feel like going out for a run either, the sky looks like vancouver the whole day. Then saw a pizza delivery guy delivering to the neighboring building. Go over to the fridge and take out the Mediterranean Frozen Pizza I had, put it in the oven and have half. After that do not feel like eating.
Turn on the radio and listen to Rock music. :)
was browsing the greeting site and came across a very wonderful card with touching words. Just could not resist the temptation of sending it to Eva. Not asking her to do anything, just sending her something sweet and wonderful from the heart.
Such was my day.
