feb 12, introducing paul to south Indian

Saturday, Feb 12 2011

Woke up and called paul around 10 and arranged to meet in Jersey city (about 100 miles away from my place).
Got talking with mom on the way to jersey city.

Paul is one of the great unsung heros I came across in my life, very down to earth, always helping people with an open heart.
Every time I loose hope in people and their sick behavior, I think of people like paul who are blessings in my life. And draw inspiration from their strong character of goodness.

After reaching jersey city around 1:30pm and struggling to find parking, we went to Dosa house,,,, used to be a very dingy (even now is) place but with the best and cheapest dosas I got to have in US.

Then after that we went to the Biriyani house and got myself 4 biriyanis and one for paul.8*5 tasted good when I had it at home.

Then around 9 had a videa chat with anil and family, it was fun seeing them all together and chating. :)

Feb 07 2011 , training day

Monday, Feb 07 2011

Training at 11am (8am PST).
but had to get up at 6 and sync up with guys in the project regarding what was happening.

after some hectic heart breaking moments of computer crashing and not internet connection getting disrupted. it was a stressful first day of training.

After the class got over at 7 pm called up venk in Cali and he helped me way walking thru it.

Its so nice to have a very few friends, hand full I can count on. I am surprised with people adding to facebook every one they just say hi to and must have talked briefly for a few mins.

Glad I am able to keep my number there in the 200s and frequently deleting people I have not much contact with or may.
