--------------------
Woke up and was debating to go for the "Wildflower and Butterflies" hike or go to peace valley.
Send Malin a msg asking her if she wanted to go to peace valley. got reply back that her parents are leaving this evening and will call me latter to coordinate tonites salsa.
Everything in life comes with a Expiry date. . .
Like it or not, its a fact of life:). . .
Acceptance is the best approach !
That was something that occurred to me while driving back today morning.
So Wildflowers and butterflies it is. ahhh have to drive all the way to the neighboring state of Delaware. :)(
Todays forecast :
The Moon moves into Scorpio this evening and forms a harmonious sextile aspect to this sign's ruling planet of Pluto. Sexy and full of passion, this combination creates the perfect opportunity to connect more deeply with someone special, bringing your relationship to a whole new level.
wooooooo ;)
Reached Willimington Delaware sate by 11:30 and found the place. Great hike, met a couple form Spain on a English learning vacation. Got to know about Vaughan town work.
Got to check it out for my European trip :) Volunteer English conversation
Later went to Stanleys traven and had a home made Salmon burger with beer ;) And it was great to know from a couple of beautiful ladies about the tubing meet up group. One lady seemed like my type coleen, she likes kai better.
6:30pm As I was getting out of the pub and wondering should I go downtown Philly, directly or to Landsdale and back which would mean 2 hrs of driving back and forth not knowing the traffic, and wondering if I should call up Malini to know what time she is going to make it, get a call from Malini... wowow talk about ESP and connection.
I decided to just go to down town as it would not matter much since we are going out salsa dancing. Malini seemed to be a bit bothered about the hygiene point of view of mine and did not seem to buy my argument of hey, in 5 mins I will be sweating like crazy and it will be worse than the hiking sweat. So might as well finish off the dancing and then get showered. hehehe.
Well we ended up meeting at penns landing, 2nd time again she gets a great place to park. good parking karma for her.
We head towards the penns landing walk the dock/shore feeling the breeze and listening to the rock band playing and many of the parties that were happening in the ships and boats that were docked.
IT FELT VERY ROMANTIC and touching.
Around 8:30 we go to Continental as she wanted to eat something before the dancing. I end up having my sampler of 5 different beers. Only liked one that tasted like Kalu. the fermented fresh alcohol from Coconut trees of kerala. Did not like the flowerly taste of the other Brews.
At salsa on a merengue, a lady came and asked me to dance and wooo hooo, had my first best merengue in Philly, rather a good merengue.
Malaine was all impressed by the merengue, just that she is struggling with letting go and be able to dance freely. Well thats understandable given the fact that she grew up in a very conservative way and not like other gals who just don't seem to have boundaries with respect to physical intimacy with men they meet or are fascinated by.
Then danced the cha-cha with the gal who looks likes a bit like obama. And with a very great smile much photogenic.
Was dancing with one of new girls who had a very vibrant smile, she had open toe shoes and pointed nails. she stepped off beat and ended up injuring her nails. Was feeling really bad about it. Gave her 3 pieces of band-aid to put on it. She was bravely smiling and telling me its okay, but I could see and feel the pain in her eyes.
We got talking and she asked me if Malini was my wife.... wooo nooo thats a very strange thought. Could not make out if she was happy or dis appointed by that information.
Her open heart smile even thru the physical pain and hurt will always remain in my memory. Even told her that she was one very brave girl. She made a come back joke about her hurt, I was too sad and do not remember what exactly she said.
Around 12:30am got out and we tried to enter Cuba-libere but was not allowed as I had sneakers, so we decided to go home.

Friday Aug 13 2010
------------------
Reached work by 7:05 was on the call with off shore Shwet showing her all about the application via the net meeting. upto about 9am.
Funny how I had to go out of the room to make the call from my cell phone.
tried callin up Eva and got no response to the calls. hopefully she is well, last time she picked was when she was near to guntakal.
well tried calling her a few more times around 12 and then at 1pm
Either she is deliberately not picking up or something is wrong.
Wanted to talk with her about my leave approval for the Euro trip......
And also the Salsa Congresso thats going on from Aug 13 to Aug 15 in Bangalore.
Have go out salsa dancing tonite...
Todays forecast says :
The Moon in Libra conjuncts both Venus and Mars today, making this a great time to engage with members of the opposite sex. Romance is in the air now, as the planet of love makes a powerful union with the planet of lust. It's a great night for a date or other special meeting.
Went out salsa dancing, ended up dancing with Sara few songs back to back, who seemed like a intermediate dancer, She seemed to want to keep on dancing as she seemed to enjoy it.
When leaving she specifically ask me if I will be coming back again, it felt nice and she looks very cute and pretty. ;)

Aug 12 Thru,, renjis call
Thursday Aug 12 2010
--------------------
1:30am got call from India, called back and it was Renji, my bench mate and friend in 8th grade to 10th. We talked after such a long time.
Good god, this year is becoming a year where I am meeting people and friends from the past and reconnecting. talked till 2am and was not able to sleep after that for sometime.
Woke up again at 5am and then out of bed by 5:45am, rushed thru to reach work around 6:55am
8 to 9 Knowledge transfer to Sweta. Pleasent and Intelligent gal. A welcome change to be talking to a smart gal.
10 go to war room to try test out the new data in avay that mat put in. dev3 down so not able to.
Aji sends msg to meet, so we decide to meet after 2pm
11:30 go home try to call Eva, phone seems to be switched off. She must have reached Bangalore today morning 4:30 IST.
Avala koriya villikan try cheddhu.
kanii amayi phone laepata ledhu. Full ga Wadi thoni enjoy chesthu unnadhi eyamoo?
Was imagining the worst case scenario about the talk with Aji. But turns out he wants to create the list of tasks I am working on to present to Sangee..... Told him about the "not having much to do and the honeymoon". but he wanted to put together something to show her that we are doing something and keeping busy.
Then asked him about the leave for 2 weeks to go to Czech. He said okay and as per the HR policy , I will be loosing about 10 working days of pay. that is half my salary of working for 20 business days per month.
All for the sake of love......
Am I doing the right thing, or a foolish thing?
Told Aji that this is going to be my attempt to try to see if my love is true. Going to give it my all and best shot, even thou I will be loosing a lot of my scare income and money for travelling. Well relationship comes first and then comes the other things. Especially since I am seeing her and her parents as my family.
Has she got different plans, is she not revealing to me her true intentions? I do not know. Or is she just playing a game with me and others?
around 12 when was home for lunch, saw Aparna on skpye with her new born baby and chatted with them for some time. She now looks chubby , like a real mom. hehehe..... she used to be so skinny. hmm guess mother hood changes women physically.
3 to 4 defect status meeting,,,,
Get back home around 6, then go to costco to get a few stuff.
But Ice-cream as it was at almost 30% discount. :)
Alphonsoe Mango juice ,,,
Now need to buy a gift for Anil and his family when I am visiting them next week.
Went around, macys, and the mall but nothing seems to appeal.

Aug 09 new Team memeber in Bangalore
Monday, Aug 09 2010
-------------------
Was too lazy to get up with no motivation. But made it to work Conf meeting around 7:10am
Shwetha the new member of my team was on the call and was introduced to the team, seems to be having issues with setting up the connection to Merck network.
Called up e after the meeting and she was at Punithas place, her last night at Ahmadabad. Asked to call after 2 hrs.
Wish she would have come to US than go to Bangalore. Well thats the choice she made.
Feeling much better emotionally after going to the temple and hope this positive feeling continues and brings about a more peaceful feeling to my life and that of my family and the few dearest close friends.
Was supposed to have meeting with Ajit and he cancelled at the last minute. Was hoping to talk to him about Europe trip.
got back home early around 5:30pm. Then decided to relax with the book. And on a vauge whim decided to have a drink, peter scott was the choice. poured a shot, put in a glass full of ice and topped it with water, felt smooth drinking it.
Was contemplating going for salsa after sun down and decided to lay down and rest..... woke up around 1am and saw that I just had 1/4th of the glass of whisky i poured myself. Put in the fridge and went to the bedroom to sleep.

Aug 08 Sunday, hike
Sunday, Aug 08 2010
-------------------
up and out of bed by 6:30am.... got working on the laundry after my daily routine.
Got the Chicken curry out of the freezer and had it with whole grain rotis made in mexico, but called as something else here... Tortillas.
need to complete the other 4 tests on Brain bench as part of mid year appraisal. maybe after I go to the Venkateshwara temple in the evening after the hike.
Time to hyderate myself for the Hike. 32 people signed up for this one in NJ border.
lets see how the group dynamics is this time. There is one gal from the Mid-west Ohio, lets see if she is like the other great mid-west people I got to meet, down to earth, warm and friendly.
Atleast she made it clear that she loves dogs last time I saw her. She looked nerdy and down to earth and smart. The kind I always like to hang out with and have a good conversation and simulate my intellect. Someone who can make me think.
fingers crossed there.
Reached the parking for hiking around 10:15 and was hoping to make some phone calls to india. was only able to call up home on the way @ 9:30am and the connection was really bad.
After reaching there was not able to make the calls as there were others there and ended up talking to them.
The drive was sweet and awesome, driving thru small country side of US that I usually don't get to see, the farm lands, the beautiful scenery was breath taking and heart touching. I could have spent my day just driving around those country roads.
The hike was great as we just walked thru the partially dry stream. Was like the hike in Zion canyon. And this one was walking on rocks. After sometime I took off my half shoes and walked bare feet. People seem so shocked to see someone walk without shoes on.
Got back to the parking and then a few us went to the nearest little town and had lunch. There was Bombay sandwich, basically they just spread turmeric on the chicken and called it curry. ahhh grrrrr.. These people have no idea of what a curry is.
Then after the lunch, I split and drove to New Jersey to the Venkateshwara temple. Prayed and mediated for some time.
Saw one gal speaking Tamil with a kind of Malu ascent ,, must be from Palagat. She looked so typical Malu (rather close). The long dark hairs upto the bum, the sweet innocent looking enchanting smile. Ahhh not sure if I should consider myself lucky to not having met single gals or unlucky. For sure my heart would start skipping a beat every time I seem the loveliness of a Malu gal. They are the worlds best and the best kept secret. :)
