Pat was giving me a lecture on “AMWAY”., Thanks Pat., but I am not in that. No network marketing for me.. You say, that eventually, your shopping bill will be paid for, using the points you earn.. Well it dosent make sense to me in the simple way., How can a company sell you anything for nothing??? Ultimately all the questions comes to this basic question. Vaishali never forced me., she’s an Amway member., so even if I join out of desperation, I will join under her.. Thanks anyway.

Sushil has mailed., He has joined his dream job., now working for Siemens, Swtizerland.. I’m happy.. He will be coming down during December to London. He’s brilliant., and moreover he’s talented too. Wonder, why I dont think about my career much??!! Maybe, I am not a career person.. just a common man.. or is it that I dont want change., or I am forcing myself to remain a common man??!! only time will tell.

This is a weekend. On sunday morning, had a chat with Pradeep., Interesting thing that I noticed with me was that, I tend to overdo everything. an old habit?!! Pradeep is doing well. Had called up Anandan mama over the weekend., it was nice speaking to him and maami. They are still the same, loving, caring pesonalities.. I wonder, whether we (the new generation) will grow up and have their qualities… At noon, Zubin and Rashmi wanted to go for shopping., I asked Girish also to come, we all were going for the shopping. I told them that all will go to my office(I had some work also to attend.. The Restore is running..) and on the way we will see Zubin’s and Girish’s work place also. Off we went, on the way was thier office and from there went to our office. Then we had a good walk by the canalside near our office. The Swans and signettes were there to greet us. But when we were walking, one man was feeding the signettes(they have grown up to the size of swans., but are still light brown coloured) and suddenlty caught hold of one signette and carefully “packed” it and took it with him. He said the signette had a broken wing and needed treatment. By the way he packed the signette, I was a bit confident, that he has to be a vetenerian, he packed the signette in a special packet, with the signettes head out. We will never know, whether that signette will be seen again or will make a good “Tandoori Swan”. I’m glad, I’m veggie. From our office(I finished my work), we went to Uxbridge and then home.

A bit of mischief in the evening. Went on to keralachat, signed on as mini, and saw all the men wanting to chat up.. Had a chat with Vivak., I was a programmer based in Watford in UK, and he said, he was at California, US. People as so eager to get out the email address., As usual, ladies have thier own reservations :-)., but they gave the email address. Then I logged out and logged in as Shyamala, this time a young worker, who works for a shipping company in Cochin, Kerala, then after some time logged on as “Shikari Shambhu” and did some timepass. What a funny way to waste time. Well I succeeded in that in short. Girish had a suggestion, that I should log on as “Silk Smitha”., We all(Zubin, Rashmi, me & Girish) we all had a real fun time.

A joke which I got from Pradeep over chat..

“Heaven is when we have american salary, British house, chinese food and Indian wife..
Hell is when we have an American wife, British food, chinese house and Indian salay..”

happy

Yah. Last night, we had a lot of fun., We drove to Superbowl, London, Played around three games of pool, first, Zubin and Girish, then Girish and me and then zubin and me. Poor rashmi, she’s in wheelchair, and that restricts her from many activities. Then on we went to bowling., and Girish was good in Bowling.. Well I did well in the first game, then I started watching “WWF” which was also on the TV, and lost my second game terribly and the third game was a bit close.. OK. I lost.. but I enjoyed it.. We came back at around 2 am today.

I’m feeling sleepy.. Just got back from Feltham after three games of Bowling and pool.. Drove back just now, called up Anandan mama, tried to call pradeep, and prasanth.. cannot connect.. My eyelids have become heavier.. I am going to sleeep…

Friday night, as usual, picked up Zubin and Girish, came to their house, had food and went home and slept. Got up in the morning, washed clothes, went to office to check the backup process, came to zubin’s house, Went home, dried clothes, picked rashmi and Zubin, went to temple, went to Rajesh’s place, Understood about My car.. Where the engine is etc, dropped Rakesh, Pranita and Abhit at his fathers place, came home, had Toasted bread(for lunch!!!), buried again in the book, around 3.45 went to library, picked up a lot of information booklets, went to Zubin’s place, it was locked, went to office, checked the restore again, Called up Perumbavoor, Spoke to paati, appa, amma, anna’s, periyappa, Manni’s, Was not getting connection to badlapur,, neither to Mysore to speak to pradeep., sent a mail to pradeep and asked him to meet on chat tomorrow, came back to Zubin’s house, Saw “Equinox – Blackholes” on TV., started updating the journal.. (Lots of interesting thoughts in between.. Have to write them down during free time). Now we may go to feltham for playing pool, bowling etc… A Normal day!!??

I really am pissed off and am trying to find out what I am doing here.. I should have been bought a farmhouse by now in some remote corner in India, by the side of a river, with basic necessities provied, and a good library, and spent the rest of my life there. But I wonder, why I have decided to stay back, earn “money” and do all the things which I am “supposed” to do??? I hate it sometimes and want to just go away to my own “ashram” (no religion, no god, no followers, no gurus.., and defenitely no philosophies to live by.. just me by myself) and live till I die..

What a dream!!!

Yes.. We’ve done it again. Though I dont care about, the aspects involved in it., it defenitely did boost my “EGO”, sitting near a Jamaican lady, Declaring that, Indian beauty has got no competition. Erica, was closely following the event. She was really pissed off when I said, that, “We have selected one of the not so good looking lady, for Miss World this time,so that we can give other countries some chance., but after seeing the prelimineries, I dont think, anyone else would win, except Miss India., eventhough she is not the best Indian beauty”. I made the statement and went upstairs and buried again into the fountainhead, When all of a sudden, Erica was shouting from downstairs, and I knew that miss India would have become miss world again.

That did defenitely boost my pride.. No wonder, I came to office earlier to join Rajesh in passing the message. O’Boy.. dont I feel proud!! I was mentioning to Pat, that for around 6000 years, every country has invaded India, and now its India’s turn. We are going to invade, not with arms, but with intelligence and subtlety.

Hee.. hee .. The indians are at large!!!!

Ok. Yesterday, I went to pick up Girish, went to their home, went to sainsbury’s from there and then came back home. I made a curry after a long time. Shared the food with Erica. Cleaned my room., Hasnt vacuumed it yet. I’ll do that today.. Went to sleep, Got up early, had a good wash, made toast, and had it with peanut butter.. Its been a long time since I had a proper breakfast. Well I had it today. Filled the balance curry into chapatis, got ready and got to office.. I am enjoying the drive now-a-days. Great feeling. Came to office., I waned to do something to organise my website.. Its not at all proper now.. but I will wait till this weekend. Smuggled out some time to update the site… well added a recepie there. I will have to sort out the site soon. Hell, I have got Java, HTML and a lot of things to learn. Praveen’s mail had come, replied him in detail, informed him of the journal.

Had the normal time-pass in the office and also sorted out many problems. Has to do early shifts next wednesday to friday and have to come early tomorrow.. (if only I dont forget).

Well our office Christmas Party is coming next weekend., and I am looking forward for it. So many things to do. I havent mailed anyone for a long time. I think I should repy each and everyone over the weekend. I was planning to go to Pranita’s house today and it seems that no ones there. I will go home directly and relax.

Jackie had said that I am putting on weight, and she would like to see my slimmer version., as when I came here. Gimme time.. and I will do that as well..

Another day ends..
