Just got back from a 56 mile bike ride..... phew never ever thought that I would or could do that. Thanks to mal baby for coming up with the idea and pushing it thru. She was and has a good sense of adventure.
Just that after all the hours of biking my arse hurt really bad. And by the way this was the first time I biked in the US. used to bike in India out of necessity unlike the people in the west who bike for recreation, which again I don't think the people in the developed countries can ever understand.
And day before it was a great hike with syd and gang on Sat, was good to see chistina, seemed to be a bit on the down side, usually the bubbly gal who lit up the surrounding with her sincere smile seemed to be down.
Drive on Friday from lacrosse to wassu was so scenic. loved the green beauty of the American country side. Especially the sweet and nice people. So many blonds there all from the Norwegian area who came and settled in US.
drove for about 3hrs to reach wassu. then the flight from wassau to Detroit, dinner at detroit airport, with a tang of beer. And then the flight to Phl, looks like I got upgraded to Sky sliver by the delta airline, as now I got into zone 2 and a seat with lots of leg room. cheers to that and many more flights to come...
good god, I have been traveling and spending most of my time at the airports this year. Guess my life is one huge adventure of traveling all over the world. Got to stop resisting it and enjoying the travel and looking forward to many more.
now to get a beer and watch some world come games... and yes kingfisher beer.. ;)
Got to see how it will go with mal baby in the coming future, she seemed to be very reasonable in her arguments.. just that she is a indian who was born with a silver spoon and does not understand that the rest of india is not fortunate like her and are struggling to get even one meal a day.

Jun 29 2011 Frustration at work
Wednesday, Jun 29 2011
Frustration at work, with the report creation. Mostly the expectation of Clients wanting to the world out of the cheap package they got.
Mis match of expectation (or expectation running wild) and the ability of the software to deliver what they want seems to conflict.
wish stv would have tried to be involved on the reports earlier and had shown some inclination to understand what I wanted to tell and not waited till the last minute (like he always seem to do) and then end up under pressure to be in a position to deliver to his boss.
Walked by the river behind the hotel yesterday, beautiful and so many beautiful nice looking gals. They all look so sweet.
Even a little baby girl looked at me smiled and reached out her hand to me.
Well as I keep saying, Babies and Dogs know when they see a very nicer good hearted person. :)
I need to focus on enhancing my tech skill level and try to improve my presentation skills. Seriously need to.

Jun 25 2011 sat, great hike and connection
Saturday, Jun 25 2011, great hike and connection with kat.
Was not sure if I would head out to the hike of sleep it off and prepare for the trip. at the last moment decided to hit the road and ended up meeting kat at the parking. she has the million dollar smile or should I say the million watt smile. seems to light up the whole place with her smilekAnd so easy to talk to and laugh about things.
said loves to dance, lets see if I can intro her to salsa. :)
Kel and jud seemed to pale faced and asked if we came together.. hehehe.. that is a nice sign, now I know for sure I am making a few people jealous, or in other words good to know and feel wanted by kel and jud. jud seems sweet and intelligent gal, but again I am not sure about her sense of being as a person.
Kel I know is a diva in her own right, she is beautiful looking.
Got to watch the Special Olympics opening ceremony in Greece. Those guys are the real heroes. Despite the odds stacked against them they seem to beat all the odds and have a ball with life.. cheers to their un-wavering spirit, they are really an inspiration, almost moved me to tears.
well to dig into my Tastiest Salmon curry and prepare for getting into the airport at the earliest.. guess will have to wake up again at 3am and get out by 4:30 to reach the airport by atleast 5:30 by 6:00 finish parking and reach check in. 6:30 to 6:45 finish security check and board by 7:30am.... reaching wassau around afternoon 3 and then 3hrs drive to la cross with the rented car.
At night called up home and talked to mom for a long time. dad and mom had gone to pondy for cousin laks daughter dins marriage. She is one serious nut case, always lying about something or the other or making stories about people and telling lies about people to others. Good that I told her to keep away from me and if she wants to go on with her way of living with lies to try that with other people and not to contact me at all.
Serious case of lying disorder.
Anyways was awe stuck with the marriage formalities... dammmm Rs 400 per person for the marriage lunch, thats more than what I would pay for a Buffet in US. And they had over 500 guests. Holly god cousin brother Laks must have spent lots of Rs on the marriage even thou it was held on the East Coast, many relatives did manage to travel for the marriage.

Jun 23 2011,, HEAVENLY Salmon curry
Thursday, Jun 23 2011
Just cooked and tasted the most heavenly Salmon Curry... yummmm so tasty. Beats all that I cooked so far. And I am cooking that after such a long time.
Sent out the last of the documents to stv kyl and ton. got to see what their response is and not to forget to send out the status report end of tomorrow. :)
yummmmm in heaven with the salmon curry. Wish my parents were here to enjoy it with me.
Surprise mail from di after a long time. The first and only Air force gal I know. Wonder how it is to date her. With all her constant traveling. Maybe she will turn up at the casino for salsa, she has been making all the moves and I have been not so reciprocal. Maybe today I will try to be open to her, she is pretty and cute looking puerto rican, looks a bit like a Malu gal. with dark curly hairs. hmmmm lets see.

Jun 22 2011,,,last 2 days
Wed jun 22 2011,
last 2 days for my time on this project. collected a few mileage points to be able to buy stuff for free online. lets see.
will submit my report towards the end of the day morrow and then head out to the casino for some much needed salsa.
love the lighted color changing floor there. sets up a very romantic atmosphere.
Was thinking about dad and all the good character that he stands for. I need to give up drinking fully, thou I just have one during the weekends.
Try to focus on my meditation ,,, the act of doing nothing and achieving stillness in mind, thoughts and movement. Center myself and feel the energy manifest from within and energize myself.
It was great going out for a run again today evening. 2nd day of continuous running.
Have to see where the next proj maybe. does not seem to be very optimistic, wanted to get on to the long term project in dallas, but the manager there seems to have gone on leave due to some family emergency.
And then have to focus on been able to shift out of this posh apartment. will miss all its calm ness,
Half my stuff is still in boxes, because I expected to be moving pretty soon and its almost 15 months. well 2 months in kerala included.
Good to know that chak ri is going to come to the east coast and would be interested in salsa in NJ and NY,, lets see. yea good weekend to look forward to. cheers
Interesting watching my own video of de-husking the coconut

Jun 20 2011 Monday What a hike and after effects
Jun 20 2011 Monday.
Phew what a hike it was yesterday, 10 miles plus around the most beautiful lake and reservoir.
It was a pleasant exp meeting Estl(the french girl) again, from Grenoble in the Alps, close to St Etienne, our 3rd hike together.
She is so sweet, looks like one of those beautiful french country girls, who never get angry and seem to think a lot before answering in the sweetest way. so heart warming and so much of her concern and gratitude towards people who are helping her.
So different from the selfish, self centered people who expect people to be their slaves and take people for granted.
She seemed to be intrigued by my knowledge of France and its history and about Corsica.
A pleasant surprise and interesting conversation.
Next week she is cooking Creps , stil not sure where I will be next week so kept it open.
So far I hear its like Dosa with a European twist.
then in couple of months she is going visiting the west coast - hiking mostly with her parents and family. hmmmmm reminded me of the past, but with a better twist of characters.
Well now to get focused on the life of mine and accept it for all its uncertainty.
Like mike from spain said, you have something unique, the moment you find your lifes purpose, your life will soar up high and achieve greatness.
That was one of the greatest compliment I got, but finding that life purpose is something I have been struggling all along.
Would love to be in love with that unique someone who would love me back equally or more intensely and unselfishly as I do with a great sense of loyalty and dedication towards each other.
Was watching a program on the internet, where some one asks a person who was married for 36 years plus for advice.
That man in Thailand said, "Do not try to Win" and things will work itself out.
That was priceless for any relationship thats ment to last a life time. Jobs come and go, people come and go, but life partner, should be one and only after you decide to be together and have to be given more importance and priority over other things in life and hence the need to compromise by shedding off superficial Egos and be willing to accept the blame and trying to improve each other or atleast try to have the attitude of listening to the other for what they have to say about certain things and respect partners opinion more than the opinion and words of other people.
Ahh for all the hopes for romance, so much desired, so much waiting to be revealed, for my heart is full of love, waiting eagerly for the ONE who I could shower with the gentleness of my over flowing love.
Kind of feel optimistic and charged now. Like its just around the corner.
Was thinking of the clip on Qi Gong... all about the personal energy and the source,, meditation....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAAB0dbc3Es&feature=player_embedded
It is scary what one can achieve with meditation and the constant evil of wanting to show off ones abilities and seek attention. One of the things I have been trying to avoid.. The Stage.
a blessing in many ways and also a curse for me. Maybe my reluctance to get on to the stage is a blessing in it self. that I have more control over my desire to show-off and seek attention from every one around.
That way I am able to stay grounded and more humble.... thank you god - universe - supreme world...
oakkyyy long write up.. get back to work and life of living.
