Gym-Me on the move

Oh Yes!! I have started 'hitting' a gym :) Two years of a dream to join a gym has finally become a reality. Not that I am a fitness freak, but marks left on my tissues of all eat-outs that I have done past two years needs to be cleaned up. Also another reason to join gym was I always wanted to see all those work-out instruments and use it.... just for fun. and believe me its really a fun. Its been four months I have come to this city and it took me so long to decide to go for gymming because I start my day at 6:30 AM and it ends at 10-10:30PM. Where possibly could I fit my gym schedule? My day here was short, now its shorter with the addition of one more activity. Its 5 AM when I wake up these days. Hope to continue this for some time. If not work-out, at least fancy gym-wear of Adidas will keep me going :) I guess I am happier when I am 'putting on' this gym-wear than when I am 'putting off' those extra calories. Take care all! Be fit and Be healthy!

Honey, its not only money

'Mere desh me paisa sirf paisa nahi hai....' Translated as 'In my country money is not only money' moreover to imply in my country money not only gives monetary value but lot more than that.These are the lines from the commercial flashing on TV few days for now for one of the Indian Banks. This advertisement shows emotional, cultural colors and values attached to money. Would prefer not to comment on the bank however their promotion on TV is well featured. I liked it. Ad features many thing like a brother-sister play at the time of rakshabandhan, an old man performing some art with coins, many hands exchanging money at different places. But the one thing I liked most was a small kid not even a year old looks at a coin in hand and suddenly his eyes brighten up, good click. By the way , Happy New Year all!!

Run baby run

Gone are the days of burning late night oil for movies and even more late mornings. To see a sunrise used to be a beautiful dream. and least I expected this dream to come true, but as they say 'Dreams come true for those who has dreams' ;) Good (really???) to fulfill this dream of mine. So Waking early in the morning is no more surprise these days (actually earning my bread and butter makes me do that) However morning today brought an ear to ear smile on my face as yet another dream came true for me. Its been two weeks I was planning to jog early morning. Yes I jogged, I ran for almost three kms and took a walk for another two. It was awesome. Realising that I can run, I can actually run for quite a distance makes me feel fantastic. Hope to continue this in coming days, if not seven days a week at least for 3-4 days a week. I guess feel good factor of today will keep me running. Lets see... Oh yes, Merry Christmas all. Enjoy the holiday season!!!

An Emotional Rambling

Its 2 AM dude and you still awake!!! Not that its very unusual, a month ago it was a daily ritual. However situation has changed drastically now and me being awake even after 11 PM is unusual. So?? Hectic day today, some familiar weekend routine, with my friends...was pretty much the same but in a way different. I realized this today, as I came home late tonight with bitter taste in my mouth. So just started thinking what can be done about it and I feel my taste changing more bitter... Just don't like when my mind starts rambling over, today I tried TV, Movie, Book, Internet and every other way to bring it at one state. Its just wont stop. While randomly surfing today I read this line somewhere 'They say you should not cry on your birthday' I could not stop thinking about my birthdays. Little bit off today, hope next one will be good :) Bonne nuit. tous les doux rĂªves! ****************************** Trying to keep up on building french vocab, Bonne nuit - Good Night tous le...

Happy B'day

They say history teaches us things 'not to do' than 'to do'; anyway they say many things like this... one of them is 'History repeats itself'. Back in college once I forgot Rahuls' birthday, and that was when I told myself that this is it, this is the first and last time it has happened. However, in the year 2007 history was rewritten and in spite of remembering his 'Birthday' I forgot to wish him. How inexcusable is this?? You remember today is someones B'day but you don't remember to wish that person (*On a same day*). Unforgivable!!!! I know. Rahul, this is not an attempt to make up for the forgotten B'day, this is to give you wishes for your new, fresh fresh, happy happy birthday!! Many happy returns of the day!! Have a fantastic year ahead! PS , Rahul: We don't mind, if you want to treat us on this saturday.

Good Bye

Last day in my first company...huhh. What a day it was! 28th Oct 2008. Leaving my first job, all that moments it gave me to cherish, to learn, to enjoy...there were also moments of disappointment, sadness though I guess its a part of the parcel everything was just sad to leave behind. Surprisingly it turned out to be a depressing experience. Not that I dint want to leave my first job, I did surely want to change. I wanted to change it for new challenges, new responsibilities and off course for better pay. and yes I got offers I wanted, I was so happy, excited to join new company dint even think of how my last day going to be and when it came....it came pretty hard. Realizing that from tomorrow I am not coming to the same office, not meeting same people was little sad. None the less day has passed and now at this moment I am very much enjoying at new place. Just wanted to cherish all that sonata moments I would always remember from my first job. New company also made me change the city,...

And one down

Star opener of our team has begun his next innings, his first inning was 'on' for quiet a long time...6 years. Its the fourth wedding now I have seen closely, last month i.e. Oct 19' 2008 one of my friend got married. Its been 6 years he was waiting for. I know Shiva for last 8 years and in that 6 years he was planning to get married ;) that is since he met his life partner. Fortunately this time he gave us well in advance notice so everyone could make it to his wedding. (He told a day before about he getting engaged, VIPs coming from Bangalore had to plan the trip in one night) First wedding in our gang...we all were planning a week before the wedding when to come, how to come etc. All week efforts led to no plan and we all gathered together at 9 AM in wedding hall. Its been long time we all gathered together, sat around a small table..all crunched even when other empty tables were available, ate from each others plate when exclusive buffet was available, laughed for no re...
