Going thru a phase or a stage in life where I am totally not satisfied with the things happening in my life and confused about a lot of things.
Am I on the right path or am been dragged into directions that I did not see coming by. Don't have much options either.
Past 10 days just passed by, mostly trying to get my sleep pattern back and recovering from the sickness I got when I toured the 4 south Indian states in 3 days. All the pollution, drinking water at hotels with shady hygiene conditions and then been on the move with very little sleep. Again the trip started with a blast, yes a virtual blast of the Gas tanker that delayed the train and killed many people. From there on it was a cascading effect, but looking back it was a good trip where I just made the best of the circumstances. Advantages of travelling alone and not having to think of what the other travel partners might like or not like. Well a good compatible travel partner would sure have made travelling much easier and nicer.
Waiting for passport and the new iphone.
The iphone order is something I regret now as I realize that apple screwed us over with an incompatible plug in to connect to computer. Its no longer the standard USB port.
Big disappointment there, if its true. Should know in a few days.
This time around hoping to use the video in the phone for recording incidents that would probably help improve the world. maybe like an hidden camera and publicize about bad things and people.
around 2:42 called up bos and ra ,, left msg to let me know about any job openings... it kind of sucks, not getting enough billable poejects and because of that the company screwing me over about the yearly increment in salary. Everyone seems to have got upwards of 3 percent hike, and me left with a meager 1 percent.
feel ashamed to even ask about it. Don't feel right to ask about it and also feel screwed over that I did not get what others got and that I was entitled to get. Its not like I did not work, just that the company did not have projects that fit my skill set or could not fit me in.

Sep 13 2012, Jet lag
Thu Sep 13 2012
Still suffering from Jet lag and trouble adjusting to the sleep pattern changes.
Took more than 50 hrs door to door. with a 20 hr halt in Doha.
Wed Sep 12 2012
Tuesday Sep 11 2012
Did not know what happened to this day, guess spent sleeping, confused and lost. Remember waking up a couple of times and looking for parents and hoping that one of my wicked aunts did not poison them.
Monday Sep 10 2012
Reached NYC around 4pm and after a long wait in the Q for immigration was out with out any issues. Got admire the way the immigration people working at the airport are working.
So many different people from different cultures from around the world, speaking in different tones, some that may be considered rude in many cultures.
ooofff to handle all these kinds of people day in and day out..... remarkable human quality of patience and peservence... hats off the immigration guys in NYC and many other places.
Thanks to nar for picking up at the airport . reached his house around 7:30pm and drove to my house to reach around 9:30pm EST (which must be around 7am IST of Sep11).
About 51 hrs door to door travel.
Sunday Sep 09 2012
Started off from home around sep09, 6am IST which is 8:30pm EST of Sep 08.
Reached calicut airport around 7:30am with a huge crowded of passengers blocking the enterance. took about 30 mins to get past the gate. Another 30 mins to pay the 10,000plus rupees that I had for changing the flight. then another 30 mins to clear the immigration... so was able to board the flight around 9:30 with out much hassle. Wish had come in earlier to avoid the crowd. Well lesson learnt.!
Reached Doha in the afternoon, asked the flight attentends about salsa in doha,, one of them seemed pretty excited ,, she was sweet and sexy,,,, damm why did we not talk much earlier.. but came back sadly with the news that there is no salsa on a sunday there.
So me and an check into Retaj hotel. Great looking hotel, with great facilities, I got a whole suite with kitchen and couple of rooms two TVs mostly showing the local soccer in about 5 to 10 channels.
After having a lunch buffet at the hotel, an asked around about the desert safari. about 300USD.(more like 270). So arranged for the safari guy to come pick us up around 3:30pm.
It was a different experience, driven in a Nissan 4 wheel drive. up and down some amazing sand dunes and 40 deg plus drops, like a crazy ride in a theme park.
Reached the south eastern border of Qatar, with a view of Saudhi arabia.
Returned back around 7:30pm,, 4 hrs.
did not have much in me to go into the swimming pool or try to find a place to dance salsa. Just had another great dinner buffet, stuffed with deserts. :)
Asked to have a wake up call around 5am. for flight at 8am.

Sail aunts body was cremeated around 10am
Thursday Aug 16 2012
had gone for walk around 7pm
got call from unkle.
Aunt sail passes away, after very courageously battling cancer for more than 3 years. She was one of the sweetest, soft spoken and nicest person I ever got to know on this earth. It was heart wrenching what she had to go thru and die inch by inch. Felt sick and think that life is sure not fair, if at all one person that deserves peace and happiness and ZERO suffering, it was her.
Her body was brought to the main family house of grandparents towards midnight.
So was busy cleaning up the house and getting it ready, when I got some help from Sr and husband Ra... who like the good person he is, just helped me with the cleaning, unselfishly and just for the sake of helping.
Then cam aunt ka,, claiming in front of everyone that she and her husband had cleaned up the place the day before. what a load of bull, if they had really cleaned up, then would there be so much of plastic and other crap in front of the house, that seems to have been there for quite a long time.

Usr accpt test day two... still isses ,, that are not mine.
Got cal from Anj asking about my leave. sounded like a heart less person.. kind of asking me for notice period,,, like I had the family emergency issues planned or something... another sicko. totally devoid of human element in person.
looks like she is bothered that she would have to set me on 2 weeks notice before relieving me from the project.
really pissed off that I don't feel like going for the lunch... well I should not go. they are celebrating.. and I am in a very sad state with family issues,,, which is my area of importance.
called up raj and told him about the leave issue, he asked to send a mail , which was forwarded to jo an and who in turn looped mena in.
durng the talk with raj, he said he would talk with senti and let me know about the banglor job.
gt call from dad around 11 30pm.. was meaning to call him.. seemed to be a bit lost and not able to hear properly again.
Jul 11 2012 Wed
Usr accpt test day one... all scrp failed by D and company.
saw the new opening in Bangalore.. so sent out mail to ven and raj for advice.
ven looped in senti... so at night sent out my resume to Senti.

Jul 09 2012 mon
Ended up having an argument with dad when I talked to him in the afternoon, he was at home. as he was talking more like dham and others, got pissed off when he offered money for trip as incentive.
was feeling bad and sick after talking to him like that and loosing my kool. wanted to call up and apologise,, but it was past mid-night there.
got out of work around 2:30 and went to the leasing office.
talked with the lady there who seemed to be out to screw me over. so ended up signing 3 mths lease extension. have to pay 200 more per month.
Then tried to make the booking by Qtr.. but got transcation denied and ended up getting all the 3 other transcations denied. called up amx and was told that they did not get any tanscation info.
called up qtr call center about 3 times to know what was happening. was asked to try again tomorrow.
Dad calls back early morning his time around 6am,,, almost wept and begged me to come... was feeling even more sick and tried to explain to him. that i am trying and did not want to give him false hopes when I was not sure when I could come there.... it was a gut wernching feeling to hear my father cry on the phone... Every kid tries to make their parents cry out of pride,, made my dad cry out of my own insensitivity..
I am a very low person and feeling sicker and more sicker everytime I am thinking about this.
