Played tennis today. Had a good game. In my 'frequent' and 'short-lived' tennis career i noticed that the better my opponent is, the better i could deliver. Basically it means that i can raise the level of my game when there's the need. Delivering on the right time is so much important...and how i wish i could do that everytime!
I bought stamps worth $18. Ya sounds crazy but it's true! They are kinda collectors items...50 stamps for the 50 states of the US.

parteee
finally we had a project party! And this time it just took a couple of hours of organizing. If you have the money you don't need nething else to arrange for such things!
We had a good time. There were two pool tables given to us. People were playing all through the night! We got gaming card worth 60points to use on those virtual reality games. Each game costed about 2-10 points; we had reasonable options! I did some water skis, some biking, basketball, hitting the hammer...this coin game that i tried was like the ones in the casinos. It was boring but the returns were exciting! We earned more coupons than any other game. In all we collected about 400 points! Got those points exchanged for fun stuff - got a mini basketball game and net. It's cute. Will put it at my workplace. And two yo yos - for me and my partner.
Since i was the organizer...i had to pay the bill for the party. I knew i was expecting a big amount, but in any case 1400bucks was quite a shock at that time! Donno when i'll get it all back.? a couple of months maybe...I donno what others might think but i feel this to be obvious responsibility of the man incharge of the entire team to take up this responsibility.
I feel sorry for the guys who missed out on the party becuase of the short, very short notice! All i can do is feel sorry. was not in my hands. They just come to me on friday evening and tell me if i can still arrange for a party on saturday evening. I won't say 'no' because it could be done..! and becuase if it is not done on saturday...then we'd miss out the entire booty for this quarter!
Me went for bowling after the party. Got two good scores - 177 and 169. Cool na?

mobile
yep. I've bot a mobile and new Cincinnati bell connection.
Have got a nokia 6230. Cool phone with Video, FM, mp3, bluetooth, infra-red, multimedia card - a whopping 32+5MB of space. It's not a clam shell phone :( Atleast it's a Nokia...compensates for any pitfalls. And i can tell you, there ain't any more of them :) I've so much wanted a clam shell...i Will buy it next.
Today is international mother's day! Happy Mother's day mom! I'm glad i have the best mom of the world!

company vs friends
There is a subtle difference between good company and good friends...over time you seem to realise that good company/ bad company, they come and go. There is no such thing as bad friends (to me atleast). And it's the good friends that you need the most. Thank good for me my family is my best friend for forever. But you know me...i need more :)
Went for bowlinng yesternight (i am gonna get this word into the oxford...). used my new gloves :) Took me time to get used to holding the ball with 'em. And am not sure whether they will serve much of a purpose...we'll see. I scored 149...got 7/10 all pins down. But only a couple of clean sweeps (X) and so the low score...u see it's also important to do it in one shot!
Today spent a lot of time at Dayton mall. Still haven't seen the whole place though. Maybe a tenth of it! I bought Racquetball gloves....or simply tennis gloves. Lets see how they help my tennis!
hmmmm...another weekend has whizzed by...

postponed!
the project party is been postponed! They say they want to take us to a better place.
I had given the expectations to so many people...it's sad! I had to say no to a couple of people with whom i had booked the dinner or the venue. And it was fairly difficult to do so. Especially with this Taste of India guy. Sam. He hung-up the phone on me...rudely. And i ask myself if he should've done that. It was in his right to be angry...but i still am his customer ain't i?! Customer is God! I pity the guy. He does show some tendency to loose business easily. Atleast he lost any more business from me.

mandir
went to Udipi Sunday night. I drove on the freeway. So different from India...i drove at 140kmph if that hints you the difference!
went to the mandir on tuesday.
i donno what's about the mandir. but i felt that satisfaction, a bit of warmth. The place demands to let go of your thoughts. I din't have nething on my mind while i was sitting there. It felt to good.
went to Taste of India yesterday. (we were trying for the taste of india in the lift in office...but it did not work out! :o)
A colleague had rented a car. i drove it on the freeway to TOI. the Pontiac - grand am. It's a V6 engine. Couldn't feel much at 80mph. They din't want me to go any faster!!! cool accelleration. bombastic music!
we were thinking of taking a sports car on rent for a few days :o) that would be keeewwwl!

18hours of training...
ya i missed you too! but there was nothing much to write about...
The weekend just flew by. Infact there was not even a weekend this time. We had full day trainings on both Sat and Sun. One was on assertiveness skill and the other on client interaction. They were good. I was able to get some benefit out of it. Not necessary solutions to problems faced in the context, but the sessions made me realise the problems and task at hand, and how to approach them.
Subah subah uthke i had to pick up the instructor from her hotel on both days. Then set her up in the conf room. Go back to home and pick up roomies. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it ;o)
I want to meet many people. You know the kind of experience you gain by talking and listening is priceless. Given, that i am tired of some people around me, it makes all the more sense to go and look for new companionship...How about K Z? he he!
Ate Chicken Pesto at ABC (American Bread Factory)...It was supposed to be a pizza...but it looked like a sanwich!! Was tasty anyways.

slight confusion
sometimes the more i discuss/talk about my problems with others, even though 'mera dil halka hota hai!!!', i tend to increase my problems.
I see myself running out of patience pretty soon these days. Have to take corrective measures. Will be more conservative with my chote mote 'issues' for a few weeks. Let me note the difference...

who can i be
sometimes you do things to be someone you are not.
sometimes you overdo those things.
most times, you become what you overdo.
be yourself. is your best bet.
i have a friend. i luv my friend.
i was confused with those economics...now my friend 'definitely' is.

GREEN DAY LYRICS
"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
....

it's revealing
Damn! My face is so revealing.
I think when i get close to someone, have some sort of a bonding then the smile and grudge of approval and descent - both show on my face! Contradictingly to the same people i have a expressionless face?! What is it with my face?!
Whatever...i would not trade it with anybody else's.
Will rent a car tomorrow...yess! wanted to do that for a long time.
Then i'll get my snaps taken all around it! Sweet memories ;o)

killer weather
it's so cold. It snowed today morning and there is a chill in the air out there! It stings my ears and pinches my toes.
One of these days i want to rent out a nice looking car...a sedan...or a coupe. For a weekend ofcourse. Infact that's one activity i'd like to do atleast once a month.
Went to cub foods. The machine wasn't authorizing me. I wondered what happened. Did it not like me?! Thought it may be because it was the first time i was using that card on any machine. no...i had inserted it 'ulta' !
