Long time...eh!! Yea, time I posted something. So my home is kinda set up. Got in the couch and the tables, the TV/DVD and yea even a good mattress. Work wise things have been not so hectic but sure did keep me occupied. Appraisal is done. Was it good? No! Could have been better. After seen what I got, and knowing what others got, all I could remember was what Jack Welch said in his "straight from the gut" book - If you are not getting the top bill on what you deserve : walk out. Have a good mind to do that. Let see what the coming few days and months unfold. This brings me to a topic pretty sensitive to me - ME. Sometimes the times are down, things just do not go your way. These are times when you have to keep your chin up and say hey tough times dont last, tough people do. I by nature am a positive bloke. I really can stand up the tough times without falling over, and if I do, I sure know that I can stand and run again. So usually nothing stops me from knowing what I should know.Back in college days, yours truly wasnt the brightest of kids or the one posting big grades. Yes I was lazy. But heck I can safely say that I have covered good ground. I usually dont take critisism well (although I might say otherwise in public) So someone who knows me well, pointed critically at me. No I did not take that straight. Never will.F_CK the world I aint care. Come what may, I will do what I want, you like it or not.

Another day gone.. Yep another day gone..I finalized on a rental appartment and hope to move in sometime this week :)) Now the next big "buy" phase starts. Some times I wonder, is this good life? Living like nomads isnt as much fun..is it?? Spoke with couple of friends over the weekend. One had a big complaint - that I did not spend time or even remember to call him the day he left pune. Why is this happening to me? Everyone says I dont give them time X-( . PPl hang on... ever wonder if I do give myself the time? I think I should just stop caring abt giving time to anyone. Period.

3 Days The first three days out here in Richmond have been hectic as hell. And yea am jet lagged. Countless meetings, meet the ppl, do the conf calls,wake up at 6 to call offshore go to the bank, check out the appartments, run through some yard sales, read volumes of junk documents, visit cousin, go to birthday parties (Zzzzzzzzzzz) - Thats what I did last three days. Am yet to decide on a appartment yet, will probably do on Monday. Then the hunt for a car and furniture starts. Am sure the coming week would be also as hectic as hell. Me missing being in Pune :( This was not how it was before. This time I spent about 8 mnths being back India, and living life in Pune had started to grow on me I guess.

Sarang.. dude Marriage rocks! Both ways! You cant escape! But yea you can decide when to rock ;).

BJP Lost! Congress won! Where does this take India to ? Will India Shine ? Will Sonia be the PM? Or is it going to be Mulayam? This result shows, India cannot just shine in the cities. At least for the politicians. C Naidu is a case in point.

Am back in US of A. Yes I mean back here after 8 mnths in India. This time am missing India. Yea thats right I wish I was back in India instead of being here. My Grandpa is not keeping good health. I wish he could get back to being what he was, good fun and chitty chatty.

It's rained showers in Pune for last 2-3 days. The heat is down, so is it at my place :)

Time for a song Woh Pehli Baar Jab Ham Mile Hathon Mein Haath Jab ham chale Hogaya yeh dil deewana, hota hai pyar kya kisne jaana Teri aankhon mein jannat basa ke chala, Teri zulfo ki chauv mein chalta chala Tere naino mein chain, tere lab pe khushi Tujhko hee main mohobbat bana ke chala Khilti kaliyon mein dhundhu bas tere disha Main na jaanu hai aakhir yeh kya karva Tujhe dekhu to aaye lab pe khushi Khuda na kare ho kabhi duriya Woh Pehli Baar Jab Ham Mile Hathon Mein Haath Jab ham chale Hogaya yeh dil deewana, hota hai pyar kya kisne jaana Hogaya hun mai pagal ab tere liye Tere bin dil bechara yeh kaise jeeye Maine khoyee hai chain payee tujhme khushi Tu banni jaane jaana meri zindagi. Woh Pehli Baar Jab Ham Mile Hathon Mein Haath Jab ham chale Hogaya yeh dil deewana, hota hai pyar kya kisne jaana Teri aankhon mein jannat basa ke chala, Teri zulfo ki chauv mein chalta chala Tere naino mein chain, tere lab pe khushi Tujhko hee main mohobbat bana ke chala. One of my fav songs :)

Sarang mentioned me in his blog :)

Heat and Ray!!! Past few days have been hectic. Heat in Pune touched 41 C ..so did the heat at my place :)) Then it showered rain ...So did it at my place ;). Took a day off from office today to attend pending things at home. Felt good to come to office and post this blog. Think I need to watch "Mind of a Married Man" and "Everybody loves Raymond" ...Wish I could do a Ray Romano... Laugh at my life :))
