Same day, second post...that's a good recovery!

Well, I've slept a lot during the day, so not feeling much sleepy right now (its 11:45 p.m.). I don't have anything specific to talk about actually. lemme think....oh ya, DLF IPL is a big focus these days. More because of it's X-factor and less because of what it's actually for. I don't agree with the moral police running after those poor cheerleaders. I just don't understand why these people don't do what they should be doing and why they meddle in everything that an Indian does...It should be upto every individual to decide (if he's mature) and family (if it's a child), what to enjoy/see/like and what not. Who gives these shoddy politicians the right to decide that? And people talk about India developing by 2020. All crap...first eliminate all differences of caste/creed/religion/status, let Indians decide what they want to do and then see where India is headed to.
Raj Thackerey, go to hell, and beg for the marathi manoos rights there.

Anyway, moving on, it's been 4 months since I've had a haircut and people say I'm looking good in my new avatar. But personally, it's big pain to grow hair in summer. Its' very irritating. Especially the phase between manageable short hair and manageable long hair, is a period of unmanageable hair which I'm going through rite now. but 'to win some, you lose some', I'm letting this phase go by.

Thirdly, I just dunno how will I break the news of my resignation to my supervisor. Hardly has the team settled down, after a lot of shuffling. And by now, I've become an important pillar of the team, with much new work being assigned to me. I really am feeling bad that I'll have to leave them midway and ask them to again go through the training of a new resource who would be backfilling me. But, as I've heard, in professional lives, don't go by the heart, but by your mind. Lesse how I do it...

There's much more that I can write but feeling bored now. Goodnight dearies...

Life's an open road to me...

The more I say I shall be regular with the updates on my blog, the more callous I become. Hence, from now on, I shall never commit to myself on this front.

Anyways, it's almost been a month since the last post. Many things have happened since. I won the Best Performer of the month award in my project team. The event was organized at 'Zero Degrees', a rather subdued suburban discotheque. The worst part of it was, it was terribly organized...I was completely peeved when they started playing musical chairs in the disc! HAHAHA.....anyway, I was not to be a part of that for long as had to get to another place the same evening.

Next, I went on a tour to Uttaranchal, a beautiful North Indian state, bordering Nepal and China. It was a pleasant breakaway from the hustle of the Mumbai routine. The tour lasted 10 days, and thankfully, this time around, I could pen down a travelogue. My first travelogue, Northbound (2003), was a big hit. And since then, I'd decided to write a travelogue everytime I was on a trip. But my last trip to Far-East Asia was so hectic that I could not. And I really kicked myself for that. Anyway, I'm planning to get a soft copy done of both my travelogues by some offsetter/typist. I shall post them as blog entries later.

After coming back, I had lotsa things to do.
First and foremost, I wanted to follow up on my I20 thingy. Well, it still was showing 'In Process' until 30th. Then, it showed 'Dispatched' on TAMU's website.
Truly, honestly, I'm just losing out on time man. I just have 2 months of my stay in India and slowly but surely, I'm getting those pangs in my heart. And out of those 2 months, almost 45 days would be spent in office. I'm planning to put down the papers on 15th July.
I have so much to do, so many people to meet, so many confessions to make, so many things to say....alas, I'm all down.

I'm keeping this post short as it's too hot in here (The room's AC has become a mute solid since some time now) and I cant' write any more. Maybe, I'll post something more in the evenin'
