Hectic turn of events and life .
Felt like I have lived a 100 days in the past few months. So many things happening. The chaos of change.
Helping out uncle with his new venture, hoping that he would succeed, keeping fingers crossed.
New apartment, with a great view of the downtown... 7 th floor on top of 11 floors of parking, so in effect I am on the 18th floor.
Fear of heights is preventing me from going over to the balcony. Not a great feeling to be standing there. Feel as thou my legs freez up and I am not able to move after that.
loving the wooden floor, thou the single Broom is relatively smaller than the apartments I have lived in. Feels good.
The downtown seems to be populated with a lot of home less people hanging around. Not sure how bad it might be here, but do get the smell of pot smoke drifting in the air.
The temparature is becoming warmer, what a huge difference from the - 30 and -40 deg... to positive temps.in the span of a few days.
The only place I am not able to focus on or work on or put in full effort to do something positive seems to be at the work place.
Too many confusions and not any clear cut path and vision.
The gals and ladie here look much lovelier than in DC area. hmmm wonder if I will meet my princess and life partner forever here?
It was interesting coming across the girl with the sweetest smile. The smile that made my heart feel like there were a 1000 colorful butterflies dancing with joy.
ahhh the infatuations of the heart. If only I could just find that one person who would love me deeply as I would love her.... hmmmm well everything happens for a reason and if its ment to be , it will be.

Feb 24, Wake up in Canada
Monday Feb 24 2014
Woke up to a bright early morning of cold in Edmonton Canada.
Had reached on Feb 23, went thru customs, kind of felt was harassed by the Customs officer. Felt a under current / tone of racism there. Hopefully I was not been to over sensitive.
Well the cold is really COLD. -20deg ... just going thru 10 meters to the car rental left my hands numb and could feel the cold thru my jeans pants
Anways seems like a small city, so was able to make it with out GPS to the hotel. Another great thing is that the streets are numbered like in New York city so was easy to drive and have reference points.
Evening went and met up with Melani and had a great dinner and catching up conversation . Looks like our lives are criss-crossing again.
was feeling a bit sad to be leaving DC, and still feeling a bit not sure about the new assignment.
First off all pissed off with AT and T for leaving me feel cheated even after paying for the Early termination.
was told that the phone would be unlocked in 24 to 48 hrs and then when I called after 48 hrs they said it takes 7 days,, then asked to talk to supervisor, who gave me the line that it takes 10 days... ahh so its like each person is just quoting time lines from the air.
After 4 years of been a loyal customer, I no longer feel like going back to taking a connection with At&T.
It was like the customer service personal do not care, and for sure this attitude is coming from way up from above. Not a good sign for the company, time to SELL OFF the shares before the attitude become epidemic. Or has it already become.

Feb 21 2014, Religion, Movers, Salsa for AshisS,
Friday, Feb 21 2014
Religion :
Religion does not make you superior.
You become Superior because of the Goodness in you to do Good things for Others.
Movers :
The movers came in yesterday around 9:30 and left around 11:30 === 12.
Whole apartments feels so empty, just with the barest of my worldly possessions. The thought process started grinding and trying to put the feeling I was going thru into words.
hmmmm sitting in an empty house... This is how life should be... free of worldly possessions.
Let go, let go, let go...
was thinking about that and then recalled the words
"EAT to LIVE and NOT Live to Eat"
I like my furniture's and household stuff too, but now after the movers came in and took it away, it feels kind of liberating, not seeing it
Mel in edmonton:
It was nice to hear back from her, wanted info on possible houses to rent in edmonton. said would be back in town after her trip to hawa and vancouver.
Salsa:
Yesterday night introduced Ashis to salsa at salsa room. After trying to finish up the beer stock in my room. we ended up reaching a bit late, so kind of felt bad about it.
Gave him the vip card. hopefully he will start using it and learn another skill.
Wanted to introduce him to the pican crowd too, but that remains to be seen if only he could make it for tomorrows friday night.
And my car gets taken for moving today morning. So I would probably not be able to make it with out someone driving me.
Past @ pican... meeting interesting people:
Last week, met this cute and pretty german gal at pincan salsa. Felt like a very good connection. And interestingly, the next day was thinking about her, when I get a facebook request for friends.
Wow kind of reminded me of what happened a few years ago.
Is it something to do with the European gals and me?
Ended up exchanging a few mails back and forth, getting to know...
But anyways for now the possibility of anything great happening is minimized by the fact that she is going to jamaican islands for vacation... and that I would be moving away to another country when she returns.
hahaha... natures way of throwing in temptations and leaving me with doubts of could have's, should have's.
Well if things are ment to be, things will happen on its own. Things fall into place in very unexpected ways.

Feb 03 2014 Gypsy life
Monday Feb 03 2014
New month, new week, new day..
My life that i never planned
- No permanent Address (tough to put an address on the Passport when I don't live more than an year at one place).
- No steady job that I can say, yes I have been working for this company or at this place for 10 years... all the jobs I held were just in single digit years.
- Travel, Travel, Travel, good for small party talk, but not a great life in terms of stability and peace. Long term friends or relationships.
- Don't have too many permanent accessories (cause there is no permanent place to store it or keep it and a huge burden during the frequent relocations).
- Home is where the heart is,,, I am now confused as to where my home is. My heart is all over the world.
- Travel brings out the best and worst in people. A great gauge to decide on a potential mate for life.
will get to know their good side of been a caring, helping, supporting person and a team player
OR
a selfish person, who will suck out the energy in your life,,,,your life would be better with out and not worth fighting for.
Unplanned travel is like life, how you go about it as an individual or as a person worthy of been in a team or a person who uses the team for their own selfish agenda.
Would you want to be part of a team where you are been used and utilize whenever the other person finds it convenient or would you want to be in a team that brings out the spirit goodness of been in a supporting team that helps bring out the best in each other.
A good and best team mate is someone who is mature, responsible and thinks about the team before own self most of the time.

Feb 01 2014.... Self Confidence!!??
Saturday Feb 01 2014
Wish I had more belief, self confidence, self esteem,,,,,
Why is it so low for me compared to the other?.
Is it Culture? Personalty? Others who are always blaming me for their failures? been too sensitive to others opinions or remarks? did I grow up overly protected from the world that I am not able to handle rejections well? too many rejections?
Why? What?
It was nice to see a guy with lot of similar back ground as mine high school and pre Engineering from hyd and then ending up in private college in karnataka becoming the ceo of micro soft. The encouraging kicker is that he same year as me.
So does that mean that I can become something big too and help contributing to making a huge change in this world for the better?
Why not?
Have to keep trying and trying,,, get up and pull myself up after every fall and get working harder to work at becoming better.
