Nov 10, head still throbing

Wednesday nov 10 2010

woke up and did some light work out. now I feel a little better and lighter, rather a bit loosening of the tightness I was feeling because of the accumulating fat from laziness.

Got to work around 8am. Traffic seems to be crazy at that time. took me about 20 to 25 mins to get from home which should have taken 5 to 6 mins. Should get back into the getting out of house early.
Atleast I am having 3 meals a day now with breakfast.

may take off from work early after the meeting and the wfh.

Nov 08 BRIGHT BEAUTIFUL DAY

Monday Nov 08 2010

BBD. people trying to sleep 1 hr more, that included me. Have not made changes to the time on the Bedroom clock. That should probably motivate me to wake up early from tomorrow.

The parking was empty.

Trying to focus on the purpose that I have defined for myself. Controlling the monkey on viagra like thoughts is a on going task. Discipline is faster and best achieved with the help of a trainer or teacher. Absence of which or not been interested in taking on one, rather trying to be the master of ones own domain may feel less stressful and peaceful. But may not help in achieving ones full potential. No pressure/hardwork no gain.
No risk no gain.

Having issues with stomach because of yesterdays spicey dishes.

WFH....

Guys have now suddenly got motivated to start planning for new year party. Well their only idea is to sit and drink and play cards, not my kind of thing. I like to hit the out doors and do something physical, go dancing and clubbing on new years.

Nov 07, Depavali party

Sunday Nov 07 2010

Deepavali party around 11, organized by the wifes of the guys I work with..

have to start setting all the time back by an hour.

Great party with a variety of foods. Mostly north Indian flavor. Had puri after a very long time. :)
Took a bottle of costly Whisky. only half the bottle was finished.

Then the guys started playing Cards. And I decided to stay off as its not something I am into. I am more an outdoorsy guy.

got back home around 7pm which was like 8pm yesterday. It was dark outside by 5:30pm.

Another few weeks and time to say bye bye philly

Nov 5, Deepavali Sad day for Dravidians

Friday, Nov 5 2010

Deepavali celebrated by in the north of India with great flair and pomp, marking the victory of the Aryan prince Rama over the GREAT Dravidian king Ravana.

And as usual as the legacy of Aryans and their history goes:
****************************************
Deepavali a SAD day for the Aboriginal population (Dravidian) of present day India

Its such a sad day for the Real/original people of the land,, that their Great King Ravana was killed by Deceit :((

By the people of European origin ( Aryans, light skinned, thin-snake lipped people), who as their legacy goes, always migrate from their COLD Countries to warmer countries like present day USA, Africa, India and then suppress the local population.

Branding them the local aboriginal population as Evil, uncivilized, Blood thirsty cannibals, and,,,,, the stories continue as History repeats itself... :,) so sad...

The only state in India that even celebrates a Dravidian legacy is Kerala, with its tradition of Onam and the belief that their Great King "Maha - Bali" visits them during the celebrations (who again was cheated and deceived by Aryans)

***********************************************************************

Ended up having one of my best salsa in philly. Danced bachata and merenugue with Kate. After the merengue she said that it was the best dance she ever had. And I had the best bachata after about an year.

Getting back into the groove. Hope the next job the salsa clubs are close by or I get hitched soon.

Again ended up meeting an italian gal, all my walls went up and then suddenly she wanted to know my age and was getting too personal in her question. I had to avoid giving her a straight answer and then politely moved away.

Nov 04, hahaha Contrast weather

Thursday, Nov 4

hahahaha,, could not help but laugh at the contrast in weather of yesterday and today. Rainning all over and it feels like one of those days in Vancouver. Well atleast its warmer.

Was not motivated to getup from bed thou I woke up around 5am. tossing and turning, falling asleep for sometime, then waking up with some kind of weird dream of people from the past and some faces I have never seen before. Good dreams to medium good ones.
Pulled myself out of bed around 7:30am hahaha thats another contradiction, used to be at work by 7am.

Or is my body trying to pre-adjust to the daylight saving time coming. guess next week it would be appropriate.

Reached work after a good shower in the warm water, strong expresso coffee with lots of milk, low sugar(ah a take away habit from spain), cereals in coffee. hehehe so that I don't have to put in milk.

Trying to motivate myself to do the management program of virtual secessions so that I could go for PMP. Don't feel that I am young and fast thinking enough to compete technically with the new breed of highly compititive kids in the work force anymore.

Its sad to know that about 40 to 50 percent of the people who were working in the NB call center are been laid off. And all the people who were working on the 1st floor are getting moved to the 2nd floor.

Afternoon did my first WFH. And suddenly every one is sending me emails with something. I got more work emails in this one afternoon that the whole month.

anyways helped dpu with his resume and hope he gets thru into my company. His english seems to have improved a lot.
