Worries

When will it stop? I'm always irked by it. I wish I could forget but alas that never happens. I think people who think too much are plagued by it but also there are so many loose ends to tie up and the fear of the unknown. There is a mixed feeling of excitement and anticipation. God know what will happen! God knows...oohhhh I wanna break free.
I had a wonderful two days at chicago. It was good to bond with friends from undergrad. They'll always be the best. It was nice to see two people so much in love. I mean not in the lovey dovey sense, just living together as two beings. Nice I really liked it. I mean I always felt that was something that would be so distant. To see it happening to my friend made me suddenly feel all grown up:) Does one really require company in life? I don't know. I think it's nice to have someone in your life but one also needs to be ready to make that kind of commitment. I guess not everything is rosy but hey when was life like that:)
Suddenly a lot of people around me seem to be getting in and out of relationships. So that is a topic of discussion that occupies most of dinner table conversations:) I know it would be better to talk about the upcoming elections in india or medha patekar (btw i hate what the government is doing on that front) but hey what is life without vetti mangai!
I also got into this conversation with this cab driver today. As ususal the man was really chatty and told me the sob story of his 26 year old marriage break up. He told me not to give up my dream for anyone I liked:) Follow your dream then think about love! We then went on to talk about the crime scene in america. I gave him my two cents and he was not to happy about my views on the subject. My talk was heavily influenced by "Crash" effect. So to potentially get out of the explosive situation, I changed topics and asked him about how long he had been driving. He went on and on and on and on......phew...BIG MISTAKE. I was saved by the stop. Thank god for small mercies!
So i've basically steered the blog away from the title but what are blogs for. Online diaries..who needs titles and I just wanted to say it out loud "GO FLY"!

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...
