got to see a comment on fb,,

Patience with family is love
Patience with others is respect
Patience with self  is confidence

Just the motivation I needed. Feeling that so right as I am not getting much upset at things anymore. more like taking the buddhist point of view. just to imagine it all as temporary and to realize that during the process of things happening and letting it all go, like one is going to be dead the next moment. What happens..... just that one is dead, other things will just go on fine without us. Just that we let our ego govern our thoughts into thinking that we are the ones who are sustaining the things we are related to or working on. but no, all things will go on as its or upto its own end of phase.

For some reason was thinking of Slovenia.. whats my relation to that part of the world. only that sa mentioned that she was living and going for runs close to the border in Italy.. \

Was thinking of news from back home. one of the cousins cousin getting married and for the party on the night before the wedding, there were about 6000 (six thousand people).... damm thats like about 20,000 US dollars for dinner on the guests and family. Non vegetarian menu, goat, chicken, biriyani and what not.

And on the wedding ,, phew there were 3 huge halls full with live video in the other 2 halls... but lunch was vegetarian... good go. I would rather marry in secret and have a registered marriage than face that huge a crowd.

Ahhhh 2 hrs of intense tango..... woow

My initiation into TANGO,,,,,3hrs of Beginner tango in the last 20 hrs :)))))
The subtlety of lead and follow..... hmmmm
A good follow makes such a huge difference..... woooo
One more down the bucket list..... 2012 - Year of TANGO (for me).

 It was such a nice feeling connecting with a few and getting them to follow.. wow height of feeling high. One gal blew me away with the way she glided in my arm.ahhhh that is one lady who knows to follow and will drive the world crazy .
it was nice meeting a the french gal Carol ,,, so cute ascent. felt like kissin her when she spoke. and she was so sweet and nice as we both struggled thru a few moves to get it right.

Was feeling  better today morning. After I got shens mail went for tango in the evening. as expected entered late, and got left out, with all the judgmental gals, who did not want to partner with a brown skinned guy.... so my first partner turned out to be the super smoking hot instructor, whos face light up after the first few steps and asked me if I did it before.. woooo.. I was almost shivering and told her how tensed I was feeling with my first steps....
Then ended up partnering with another gal sweet gal Emily, who looked like was with out a partner and walked towards me. yea... my first real Tango partner.. danced with her for most of the class and we rocked it... it was nice to see the regrets on the faces of the few snobs who did not want to partner with me before... well karma has a way to get to ya.

hehehe..

went for salsa after and met a gal from india who is into performing..... ahhhh not a big fan of performares, always seeking too much attention to themselves... but she was so delighted and kept complimenting me. hmm feels warm.
should have danced with the few other indian gals who were beginners,, but did not feel the energy to go over and ask them ,,, fear of the eternal "no". not worth screwing up my mood with their possible no's as I did not feel inspired to over comet the thought of getting rejected either.

got up feeling a bit better, did not have dinner last night,
Then just had a bannana for breakfas and took off for work around 7:30. got to be there for the meeting. lets see how it goes.. no lunch....

then after the 1 to 3 meeting. was exhausted and thought that I passed out a few times during the meeting. got out of work around 4:30 and back home.. feeling tired and can feel the fever and strain in my eyes.

ahhh so much for viral fever attack,, only had heard about this,, don't remember going down like this.

Funny comment by anj on facebook
Every man loves two women - one is the creation of his imagination and the other is not born yet. - Rumi


Which I think should be

hehehehe..... I think its not worded right.. more like words from a ultra-right/left  conservative.... ... it should probably go..Every man has two categories of women he loves.....many who are the source of his imagination and many who are the product of his imagination .... :)))))

Apr 08 2012, Salmom curry

Sunday, Apr 08 2012

Got cooking on the salmon curry with Wild Alaskan Salmon. atleast thats what the lable said.
Ended up cooking it in a very different way and the smell and look was so different and awesome. yummm

Now my apt smells of curry . :)

Trouble for the Gujju neighbors , they seemed to have lit up all kinds of incense sticks not able to bear the smell of fish. hehehe

Tried going to costco. but closed for easter. damm no printer ink. got to do it in the next few days to take print out of all the stuff I need to take back up off.

Was an interesting hike chatting with jd and shn.. interesting conversation from jd on her new book and her travels around itly.. maybe one of these days, I will make it there and also get to travel to greece.

It was great talking with parents for about 1 hr today.

Got to know of a marriage of a cousin, which had about 6,000 people on the day before the wedding and more than 6,000 the day of the wedding, happening in 3 huge halls, with live telecast in the other halls. wow....
who said Indians are poor. damm filthy rich and throwing money like crazy.

Indian and chinese economy is going to take over the world. mostly chinese I think.
The chinese are too competitive and too smart. Something which makes Indians look like lazy bums... the europeans are definitely screwed. Matter of time before Germany gets dragged down by the weight of the Lazy greeks, spanish, Czechs,  portuguse, English and irish.
