It''s nearing!

It's been ages since I wrote on this blog and it seems almost strange to start typing after so long. Since su and others have been bitching, I decided lets just try. So the big thing that is happening in my life is that I'll be Mrs P in less than a month. I cannot believe it. It does not feel very different because my life is not going to change post September. I'll be in Houston still and S in Atlanta. Of course the commuting is going to be crazy. Getting married seems to be like a disease. Everyone is getting hitched. There are just two people from my undergrad group who are left to tie the knot. A lot of people from my school too have got married. Last month was A. Before that S. R will be getting married next year and I heard the other R too. Gosh it's crazy!
I guess in India the chances of finding a lonely person is quite remote. If anyone is lonely they are most probably hooked to another person by family or friends. This is what happens. However in America this is not the case. So is India a happier nation? I'm not sure if I can answer that either. Of course without getting into statistics I can safely say we are less negative than here.
On the topic of marriage, it is a crazy thing. I mean two people have to take an oath that they'll spend the rest of their lives together. If one thinks deeply about it. It's seems like that's a little too much to ask of two people. However two is better than one at solving problem that life throws at us. This is probably how the concept of marriage started. Of course if one does think very much about marraige then one is scared to take the plunge. I'm not as scared as I was before because S is a really decent human being and I really like him. He does get on my nerves a couple of times but I'm easily able to get over it. He's probably the best suited person for me. He's gives me my space and at the same time makes sure he knows what is happening at my end everyday. I'm so glad that I found someone like him to take the plunge. It makes marriage sound less daunting with a guy like him.
I had always wanted someone with whom you could talk about anything. He is one such guy. He's also always willing to try out new things. Loves to be active just like me, even though we both are not athletes. It was a lot of fun playing squash the other day at Georgia tech rec center. Discussing politics,fractals,music and research(I never thought I would be doing this:))!
I'll be leaving soon to get to India to take part in all the festivities and celebrations for the big day. It's going to be a lot of fun meeting up with family and friends. I'm sure it's going to be absolutely chaotic too. What with so much family around?? We'll probably drive each other up the wall:) Then there is maldives...Thinking of all the traveling that will happen, I'm already drained. Hopefully maldives will help us recover. I'm super excited now.....I AM THE BRIDE!!!!

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...
