sep24 Friday. one more week to Euro trip.
Friday, 24 Sep 2010
-------------------
Woke up a bit charged after yesterdays running. woke up and did more stretching and light crunches. Feel the body tightening up. Rather focused on the work out and having breakfast rather than reaching work.
Reached work around 7:45am took 20 mins in all the early morning traffic. No wonder I was able to reach work faster when I start off around 6:45am. In less than 10 mins. What a huge difference 30 mins makes.
Got call from Vishnu from hyderabad around 7:20 was just getting out, told him will call in 30 mins. Got to work and called him up with calling card.
WEnt for Indian food with the team at Amans.. great food, but my stomach was in turbulance.
went off home from work around 3:30 slept off and did not see the call from malini at 5:30 wanting to go salsa dancing. returned her call around 7:30 by then she was not in a mood to go as she was going to wineyard sat early morning at 5am.
So thank my stars in a way and head out to Brasils. ahhhh too many guys and not many girls. Guess this happens when there is a women teaching the basics.
Anyways end up dancing with the Envi Engg gal and another new gal. There were lots of girls who walked up from the lower disco wearing minimum clothing,,sexy and they were just dancing in their own groups with their own guys.
retruned back with a mixed feeling.

Sep 23, high on anticipation
Thrusday, 23 Sep 2010
---------------------
Was able to do some light work out for 10 to 15 mins before heading out to work. Did not care for the time, woke up around 5am. Got to reply to a few emails.
feeling better already with the work out. Only difficulty is in motivating myself. hahaha the motivation I had today was the tightness I felt with the pants yesterday.
Also had 3 meals yesterday including dinner after a very long time yesterday night was a huge change.
Today got to get in touch with the lady Agnes O in NY in the Dept of Labor as the Virgina dep of labor said since the work was done in NY it does not have jurisdiction.
Was able to get home for lunch and have the chicken curry and rice with tomato pickle.
Completed the Estimation learning in the afternoon. Got to Start on the PMP with its 58 hrs .
Talked with Anil when he was with his kid at the dentist, ending up spending upwards of $400 for his filling even with insurance.
out of work by 5:20 and home.
Around 7:30 went for a brief run about 2 miles. got back and did some light work out. felt good.
Then had Rice and bannana. and curd(yogurt) and rice for dinner. Remember having bannana and rice when i was kid. First time I remember doing that as an adult. :)
Felt sleepy by 12. watching a malayalam movie, Cha-di-ka-tha Chandu. Funny romantic comedy. Romance is an integral part of any Indian movie. People are only allowed the fantasy of falling in love and then marrying. But in real life they marry and then fall in love.

Sep 22, Beautiful Warm Day of happines all around
Wednesday 22 Sep 2010
---------------------
Woke up with a clearer sense of Joy and happiness. Reaffirming to myself and feeling the sense of happiness with in me.
Automatically the corners of my lips stretched like they were hoping to touch my ears :)
Thou the temperatures seem to drop, today and tomorrow are forecast to be warmer days into the upper 31 deg C or upper 80 into 90 deg F.
Had break fast and did not care for the clock. So ended up at work around 7:20. well I should rather sacrifice 10 to 15 mins than forego breakfast, especially since I have been skipping dinner again.
Going thru mixed feelings about the trip to Madrid and soria. Would have loved to go with people I love. But sometimes things do not work as I would want them to. So I need to open my self up to making the trip alone and try to find the joy of traveling and experiencing a different culture on my own.
12:30 went to Taco bel with ajay. Liked the chicken burrito, much better than the McDonalds burgers.
Fixed and updated the .def for the defect and the enhancement on mocpop.
and then sent out mail

Sep 21, Tue, what a beautiful day :)
tHURSDAY sEP 21 2010
--------------------
Had a very good night sleep and woke up thanking for another great beautiful day.
Have to start initiating the possible issues related to Moc-pop at work. With possible fix at the root that could be done by the other team or a patch (band-aid) fix at my end. :)
But before that need to talk to Aji about it.
Yesterdays cooking of the Chicken with the barest of the ingredients turned out to be great. wow. That is the tastiest chicken I got o taste in a very long time. Cooking in low heat over time is much more better than cooking in a steam cooker or on high heat, thou the latter helps with the chicken been cooked faster. Trick and technique learnt from Anils wife.
Got to get some Euros for the trip. the Euro value seems to be going up than down. Hope it goes down in the next few days.
------------------------------------------
Great thought for the day:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you are keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the sam. You must understand that and strive for it.
------------------------------------------
12 went to Dosa hut for lunch, with mirichi baji (jalapeno pepper dipped in dough and fried) and a lunch combo of idly, vada and dosa.
back by 1:45 pm around 2 went to war room and met Karthi with the hope of testing MOC. Was not able to. So based on what Joe replied about the mocpop, have to put in my patch code.
5:30 out of work den
Now the big question. Tonight should I go to the Reef for salsa or no?

Sep 20, Monday. Fever and Struggling with focus
Monday Sep 20 2010
------------------
Monday,, start of new week and day. Was a struggle getting up, as I feel that I did not have a week end at all. After the long ride to Allentown on Sat for the training.
Sunday was spent on scrubbing the washroom and vaccuming the house. Wanted to cook but.
anyways made it to work around 7:10am feeling feverish and coughing. Damm don't want to fall sick before the trip.
Around 10 went out with the guys for Coffee at Dunkin dougnuts. Thought I was feeling low cause of that. But even after coffee, feel low energy and a bit undercurrent of sickness.
Should stop commenting on evas blogs and even reading it. As she does not seem to interested in replying or acknowledging my comments or opinions. Have to harden my heart and feelings towards people who treat me like wise.
Just have to be more care ful with who I choose to let my sincere feeling for. And stop wasting my time and energy focusing on people their life, who have shown that they do not deserve any of it.
Pondering on the anonymous mail I got from someone name monica. saying that she lives close by and may want to talk over the phone and that she is interested in learning new languages and has an online language learning going on. First mail she said she was in italy for 15 years and the 2nd mail she said 12 years.
kind of have a fishy feeling about her intentions as she does not seem to reveal exactly where near lansdale she lives, just too vauge ???!! red flag.
Lunch was at Chipotle,, spicy and yummy mexican food.
Got back was still feeling under the weather. not able to focus or even try to do some online course.
Got out of work around 5 and headed home. tried to sleep but feeling restless. Tried to mediate but again not able to focus.!!??
Should I go to vango my fav place to dance for free tonite?

Sep 19. Time for lucky break, pleasant surprise
Sunday Sep 19 2010
------------------
On September 19 at 9:03 PM EDT on September 18),
Jupiter in Pisces is conjunct with Uranus also in Pisces.
The two together usually attract a lucky break or a pleasant surprise. Something comes out of left field to make life easier and more fun. It could be a chance to travel soon or a chance encounter that opens a new door for you.
However, you'll certainly not want to put up with compromises or situations which are unfair. Uranus can rattle the bars of your cage and give you the courage to say 'enough is enough'. You may also find that a pet project that had been gathering dust on the shelves suddenly comes back to life. There is always a fountain of new possibilities around when Jupiter lends its expansive tendencies to the lightning bolt of Uranus. It will kick start you into forward gear for sure.
So much for positive emphasis from frorecats hehehe.
Inventory of the things to do around home and in life. Missed out going to the temple for some free dinner and praying for Ganesha festival yesterday night. Went to sleep again with out dinner.
fist thing put the dress in the washing machine.
then get the sneakers and soak in the bath tub with the washing lquid.
Call up home. Surprisingly they did not seem that interested in talking at all today. So it was a very brief, doing well, ok, nothing more, ok talk latter, dad did not seem interested in talking at all. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
Okay,,,I finished reading the novel of John Grisham "Summons" by around 11. Then started working on the scrubbing the shoes and clean it up a bit.
Moved the cloths to the dryer and then put the shoes in the washer. ;)
Then back into the wash room to scrub up the bath tub and the wash basin and toilet bowl. ahhhh it took up the time.
Was going to re enter to cut my hair with the machine when the phone rang, ajay calling ahhhh not in a mood to get out of the house. ok lets see what he wants. He directly asks me when I am coming and people are waiting for me.... ahh damm totally forgot the birthday of mohans daughter, ahh told them to go on with the celebrations as I may take about an hour to reach. ok so rushed into shower, then to wall mart for a gift for a 5 year old gal. That was another nightmare, they seem to have run out of 5 year old girls gifts, Looks like all the guys brought it from the wal mart. So after a lot of searching, I ended up buying a more costly gift for a 6 year old. Better something than nothing.
Got into mohans house just in time before the Birthday cake was been cut.
The vegitarian food was good, he had it brought from New Jersey. Not like the typical food made in restaurants.
Then over ice creams the discussions got into ramayana and mahabharat and their origin. Was it a Myth or did it really happen. hmmmm it was nice and scary to see that there are people who seem to believe it and accept things blindly and not open to questions. And these are guys and gals who are supposed to be highly educated compared to the average indian.
People on one had seem to be not open to quesiton their own practices and faith but seem to take pleasure in poking holes in other peoples faith. And when I questioned kriss do have any idea about the other different faiths and mythological characters in other cultures, "no". Then how are you assuming that you are the best or the only one that has culture or all the things that you are claming.
First try to be open to exploring other peoples culture and practices, and then compare it with yours and then learn to question others.
If not whats the difference between you and those with the extremist views?
anyways a few theories came out , one was that Sri lanka was really Australia and that the reason why australia is still a huge desert was because of some weapon used by Rama during the war, that caused the destruction of all natural vegitation. ;) hmmmm far cry for me to accept that.
never the less an interesting conversation, a few sentiments hurt and shaken.
Reached home around 6. then got busy with getting the cloths out of the dryer and putting the shoe into the dryer.
Got an urge to cook the chicken. So headed out for Genaurdies for milk and ginger. Saw the missed call from mali. called her up from genaurdies while shopping. damm again no milk and no ginger. awww.
Spoke with mali for a few about her weekend end activities. Was surprised that she also learned to clean her wash room. Thou she used to have it done by paying others before. ahhh she must be having a hard time adjusting from the princess life she lead in india, having own cook, person to wash and persons to do every thing for her and her family. Well not a type of person I would like to be in a relationship with. Told her about my adventures on Monday at vango.
she wanted to come and check out. I hope she does not and impact my great monday nights, the times we went to brasils, some gal or the other asked me if she was my wife. ahhh a scary thought. no way.
Got back home and watched a bit of colts v/s giants game on internet.
And again passed out and went to sleep on the couch with out any dinner.
