Life is unpredictable

I was deeply upset when I heard that Chandramohan committed suicide. He was someone I met when I went to India in June. We went tennis shopping and caught up at mocha. He would have been the last person that I would have thought would kill himself. But he did. Really sick! You never know what happens in those last crazy moments. It has made me realize the importance of life and how it's important to cherish every good moment.
My mentor at work had a heart attack. He's better now. I just visited him today at the hospital. I heard this soon after I came back from thanksgiving. I just don't understand life anymore. You never know what will happen. It just suddenly hits you. I am thankful to God for all the happiness I've received till now. I hope that I will be strong enough to handle other major difficulties in life.
I had a beautiful thanksgiving. I met up with my favourite girlfriends in charlotte and atlanta. I bond a lot with my friends from undergrad and they will remain my closest. They know me inside out and I love them. In fact last week would have been tough, had I not had that break. Seeing them made all the pain go away.
To all those folks reading my blog, please do call me if you are in any pain and you don't know who to turn too. I will be there for you. I'll drop everything and come by your side. I'll do anything for my friends. Don't take hasty decisions. It really does hurt the people you leave behind!
God Bless you all! VISHNU ALLLAH JESUS!

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...
