Nov 14. childrens Day in India

Sunday Nov 14 2010
Feeling better after a good nights sleep. Scotch helped too.

Hiking in the afternoon, then some cuban salsa in the evening.... yea the good times are rolling.
Its Childrens day in India.
The day all school going kids look forward to, getting some kind of sweets from their teachers.

Phew... what a great beef curry creation, my best so far I think. Everything fell into place and did not miss out adding anything. Got to add a few veggies too making it a wholesome healthy curry.

Hiking was great too. got to meet a few nice people new to the group. Beautiful hike for a sunday.

Now to get ready and head for some cuban salsa...

Absolutely amazing little place called Cuba in chestnut hill, with a very friendly crowd. Had a bachata with ahira and people clapped after the dance. It felt good to be appreciated and thou I don't think that I am anywhere near good. I just improvise and try to play by the feel of the song. And sometimes the moves just come out from the heart. And one gal thought I was trained in ball room or some hi-fi kind of dancing.

Got mail from malini wanting to coordinate going out next weekend. well I am not sure where I might go or feel like going. just do not wish to commit to something I am not sure.

Nov 13 sat and at work since morning

Saturday Nov 13 2010
was not able to sleep with the reported issue that was happening. was trying to figure out what the issue was.

Was drifting in and out of sleep and trying to check the nagging issue. So early morning 7:30 reach work and then see that there has been an update. Deny the avaya guy finds the bug. when we were all focused on something else he found the quote close for one number missing. " ' " , just that one lil thing caused so much problems.

So when the other joined in the call around 9:30am suggested to do a test. Again the arse hole Tony was at his scarcastic best trying to be the best arse in the world.
Then after some explanation, all decide to hook up at 11am

The tests go well and fine. just that another bug / issues becomes evident.

Then again a series of waiting for them to finish the tests... George joins on chat with me and susan. who was kind enough to join me in the war-room early morning at 11. we debate about the issue and then I tell that I will try to simulate it on t5 on monday.

Around 1:30 we take off towards home. And again i missed a great opportunity to go hiking with a huge crowd today. More people seem to come in after seeing my pics.. hehehe I am now a famous hiker and iPhone photographer.

Watch paquia fight in the evening and then head out for salsa.

Replied to malin mail asking me to come for salsa some place she wants to go.

Nov 11 2010. early to work

Thursday Nov112010

Woke up around 5am and got to work by 7:20am.
got to talk with sweta in bangalore before she left for the day. apprised her about the happenings and motivated her to feel better about handling issues here after I leave.

ajay seems to be having issues before his taking off to india for his marriage. damm these issues have a funny way of turning up when you least want them to. Same thing happened before I left for europ. 5 months of non-activity and suddenly two days before I leave, series of issues.

confused as to what to reply to malinis mail. She is just reminding me of Eva with her behavior. Don't want to get into a relationship or sucked into a relationship with selfish - self centered people.
Had I been in a relationship with her maybe I would have made the effort to explain to her. Now I am least bothered to make the effort as she is not someone I am interested in and do not want to be sucked into the drama. She will just go on to behave like evil eva no matter what I tell her. So I just zip up and pretend nothing is the matter and keep my distance.
Why do all these drama queens try all these sick irresponsible, lack of accountable behavior and then expect to be treated like queens and expect others to shower them with un-divided attention that they do not deserve?

They don't even try to make the effort and then expect others to make the effort. Yea right, like I am going to.

Tried, rather went out of my way more than any man would ever, setting aside my pride and self-respect. And what does it result in? Just more pain and heart break for me. dis-respect towards me and my life.

awww Fuck it, these people do not deserve any kind of attention or good feedback. LEt them just continue on their path of self destruction and then wonder why no one is interested in them for the right reasons.

When some one is interested in them for the right reasons, they tend to treat them like shit and take them for granted. Then who would even want to pay any attention to their sick personalities. After sometime the interested people will surely move away too.

Well atleast I am not going to get sucked into that loop again, no matter how tempting it is.

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.
