Amusing Musings

summer is here... warm, bright, sunny weather...i felt the scorchin sun after a loong time today at my big boss' after office pool party at her house in Los Altos. and Wow! it is a gorgeous house with a scenic view of the Los Altos hills from the backyard with the Pool. first time ever, i got to just lazy around, get some healthy tan, and do nothin but eat drink and chat with my colleagues... fun! got to know my neighbours in the office better. it was a smooth cool party. i worked with so many different teams in my past workplaces but this one is something different. i feel they all value each other so much and they value life, fun, play and work as much. this team consists of few of the better poeple i ever met at work. very lively and happening group. i will miss the team very much as i move on to other things with higher priority in my life. anyway... so we were sittin around this sparkling pool in my boss' backyard and i wished i jumped into it for a quick swim. i love wate...

ante idenemo.. with vj leavin to mumbai for his job and leavin me behind all by myself in California, I feel so lonely and devoid of normal life. it was so saddening, depressing the first few weeks thinking i won't be able to see vj or even talk to him when i want to. thinking that he will not return and i have wrap up stuff here asap to go to him. there is so much to do and i can't wait to get done with it... i don't eat/sleep or work/live the way i used to when vj was here... it was more organised and happening all the time then. it is now a chaos or more like whenever i feel like to do sth, I do... i am hungry at 2AM or i feel sleepy at 4PM. i go out to movies by myself or i hang out with my married friends only to miss VJ even more... :) it is difficult having to live alone after being married. taking care so many things all by myself.. double the stuff to worry abt now.. Stress with a Big S and the next phase a few weeks past, i am glad to have such caring sweet people...

I have reached my endurance limit yet another time. By this time it should not be a surprise to me. I should be prepared mentally, physically, emotionally after enduring so many hurdles, crisis, and drought. After all, my life seems like an unfair share of struggles and effortlessness. I lived through, learnt through, built a tougher shell each time through to withstand and survive. This is yet again one of those lows. Where i wish i was dead (yuck, NO way!), i wish just became transparent, or i quit my job and went on a life time vacation. I was workin on paper work for my apt registration/loan for the past 4+ mo and nothing has been finalized yet, the loan paperwork has not progressed an inch.. Only if it wasn’t for the bad timing of my 3 yr work visa expiring and applyin for a loan at the smae time. I would have probably been in India with vj busy adoring him, crazy decorating my home and easy breezy just enjoyin life. But, here I am stuck 10,000 miles away from family, livin alone,...

Hawaii trip was heavenly… up close and intimate acquaintance with nature and the Earth was the essence of this trip. We were lucky to have gotten the perfect arrangements from the choicest hotel accommodations to nicest rental cars, coolest views to warmest Pacific waters to spend most relaxing evenings to most happening days. It is so rare that we are lucky to have everything fall in place for us and hence this will be one special trip. Just perfect… a vacation! Hawaii is a group of islands, part of the USA, located close to the equator in the central Pacific Ocean. It is the most isolated yet most accessible chain of islands. Tropical climate, warm-humid temperatures, cool turquoise bays, serene sparkling beaches, happening day-night life entice every visitor. But what is unique to Hawaii is the Hawaiian – Aloha spirit; you would not find anywhere else in the world. It is all about the Aloha spirit and you have to be here to see and experience for yourself. I saw that the islands wer...
