Saturday FunDay!

By -
I am two days away from my interview with google and no I have not studied well. I spent a lazy saturday morning doing nothing. I spoke to my mum, then asif ghatala, then sowmya nayak. I bathed for an hour, what bliss! Just when I was in the mood to study, my friend called me from syracuse and we chatted for an hour. Then conferenced with another friend. Wow! I just spent time just like that till six. Then I got into the study mode and i did some timepass for sometime. But nothing fruitful. I guess some days are just meant to be wasted.
I attended a meeting and just got off it and it's 2 AM. I have absolutely no social life. I mean it's saturday night and these people have to schedule a meeting only in the night when I am farting around the whole day. But this is where this onsite offshore thing comes. I am plagued by this, at TCS and now at school. God give me deliverance from this!!!!
We will be going to niagara next week and I am really looking forward to that. I hope it won't be too cold.
I really liked sunanda's blog. She writes so well, I mean you can picture the words. I think only a few people have that gift. I've met people at PSG who used to write really well like soumya thomas but this lady surpasses everything. It's a perfect blend of good stuff and wit. Hats off to her.
It never amazes me how everyday I discover something new about someone and find that there are so many more ways that I could improve. Its tough to live in such a talented world. You often feel so inadequate. I guess this is the only thing that keeps one's sanity and firms one's feet to the ground!

Tennis- An ode to my love!

 Intra apartment Tennis Tournament After a gap of nearly 7 years I took part in a tennis tournament at my apartment community in Bangalore. Unlike the younger days when I used to participate in league matches, I was a bit rusty on the tournament front. The funny thing is I do not find many women playing in the community. Hence to have a separate women’s tournament at the community is impossible. Therefore I persuaded my tennis male buddies to allow me to participate in the tournament when the idea was first mooted. They did not need much persuasion as they know I am a certified tennis lover like all of them. This brings an important point, most minorities just want to be treated equally and get a seat at the table. Game,set and match I knew my shot of winning a tournament like this was a long one. There were several disadvantages like weight, an average serve, weak backhand and inability to have a good court coverage. The thing that was going for me was my enthusiasm with the game ...

Errr..Arghhh

School is finishing up and generally emotions are running high. There are a lot of things to do. ON top of all this I have been wondering about the human psyche. The words that come to my mind is the "power game". Some people want to always be at the higher end of the equation. Well it's not possible always. I mean the people who generally make the effort to always keep in touch also loose out sometimes. I mean they're also tired. How many times can they alone keep it going? How much of work all these things are! Is ego everything in life? Or is this some sort of message that others have to read. A really close friend of mine is going thru a rough patch now because she was at the lower end of the equation. I always told her it was fine and you do not have to go by book. She was fed up of the mind games and the moves she had to play. It was like constant game of chess. My sister often gets into these introspective moods and I used to blame her then for over analyzing. ...

Snow, Skis and pain

By -
I signed up for a SKI trip organized by graduate student wing at school because I felt I must do something different. I mean for a person from the tropics getting to do something in snow is bloody exciting. So we left in the morning at 6:45 AM for seven spring ski resort. Though it hasn't snowed for a week at pitt these people kind of preserve the snow with some chemicals and something else. So we entered seven springs and it was really cold. The person from the tropics was of course well equipped. Three layers of sweaters followed by the BIG FAT UGLY red jacket. But a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do when it's below freezing. So after the initial ski lesson we learnt the basics of sking. Then it was upto us to practics and try stuff. So I skied for about 6 hours yesterday and right now my feet feel like jelly fish and my hand and feet are swollen. The thing about sking is that one needs to learn from your mistake everytime you fall. But me being a slow learner, took...
