Three cheers to SU!

This weekend confirmed what I always knew. There is nothing like girlfriends hanging out. I've always had the most fun with my girl friends. This weekend was no better. I met SU after 5 years and we just reconnected. No ackwardness and we just took off from where we left off. It's so amazing to have such a comfort level with people. It's great to be yourself and su you really are the best! I also had something significant happen to me this week. It was my sign to move ahead in life. I thank that special person. That person is really a decent soul. May you find happiness and remain like this forever:) I wish you all the very best in life. You deserve it. Life goes on in it's hectic pace. There is so much to do. I've found a tennis buddy and we've been playing now for three days in a row. I hope this continues ...It's the best form of exercise. Especially for me with so much food around!!!

Who are we to say?

It pains me to see this subtle discrimination. I have not seen it maybe because I was transparent to it before. Coming from India one does not really see racism because everyone is the same color. It's not like I've faced anything but I hate the way people behave. I mean educated people questioning their safety because they are surrounded by black people. I mean I travelled half way across the world to see how it would be to work in multicultural teams and tp socialize with people from different backgrounds. Ofcourse nothing happens at work but to see people talking like this hurts me. Strip away the color and everyone is the same. Everyone is bothered about their families, loved ones, salaries, work, love life etc etc - So why think that you're some gifted race??? It also pains me to see Indians making such comments. Your brown for godsakes and you talk about hispanics and blacks!!! This is all a little strange to me. I remember hearing my little niece from england referri

Too much to handle!!!

I am quite fed up of the amount of work that one has to do here. I mean one has to be so alert otherwise, one would get cheated. I am so fed up of being so alert. I've already lost so much in so many stupid deals. I'm unsure whether I will learn from all this. I've had a raw deal in many many things that I've bought over the past few years. I get hurt by my stupidness but I guess one should just go on. I spent 24$ on a local call in india using my credit card. Can you imagine how stupid I was? Anyway now looks like cingular might cream my ass with another deal! I'm the only moron who has paid 50 bucks for a time warner installation. Only idiot who paid 50$ every month with an old phone! Only one to pay a non refundable deposit on my apartment!PHEW!PHEW!PHEW! On a brighter note other things seem okay. I went to the museum of natural sciences with a colleague from work. It was nice. I think one can only really enjoy a museum if you go with another lady. Gosh last week

Bungle in The Jungle!

I find it increasingly difficult to blog about my life. I don't know why maybe because whatever said and done this is a public blog and people seem to quote from it. So I've been seriously having doubts whether I want to blog anymore. It was nice initially but as I move into a new phase in life, I feel like I would like to open up more but people talk of spies and all that jazz. Woes of people losing their jobs because of blogging. So call me chicken or whatever but I'm going to be more careful and therefore curb the freedom to blurt out. Work is going on well. However I seem to already have some minor conflicts or difference of opinions with some people. They are unwilling to take me seriously because of me being fresh out of college and most people here have tons of experience. Anyway it's going to be a great learning experience. As the days pass I feel that I'm learning more about people. I am dying to write about it but unfortunately I'm sure atleast one of
