Living the dream. One day at a time.

I am at home with parents and little chiku (till my niece’s naming ceremony scheduled next week, I have the privilege of calling her by any name I like). When I was planning my trip home, I had a very fancy agenda which included shopping, eating out, beauty treatments, movies and lots of reading, driving. But for past almost a week, I have hardly gone out, just don’t feel like moving around because there is so much entertainment at home, also I don’t want to miss any new expression or movement of the little one. All my friends must be furious as I haven’t even informed anyone about my arrival, I needed this time only for myself and parents. Everything is just the way I had left, even the yellow curtains in my room smell the same.

Yesterday I went to the Computer book shop to get some books for the spring semester and my shoe heels broke on the way ( didi doesn’t know I wore her high heels) but there is always a brighter side to everything, bought a brand new pair of sleek shoes at Metro showroom . They certainly have a great collection of shoes and bags, wanted to buy atleast 3-4 but managed to pacify the greed. Even at the book shop I bought a book which I would never need , but the look and feel was impossible to resist.

Little about the goodbyes at work: We had a great going away party at Uno grill.  But this time I tried the most amazing mango ice tea and stir fried chicken and the company indeed added stars to the luncheon.

As I was sipping my creamy coffee and giving a sigh of relief after a successful ( ) code review at work, was imagining the perfect plan for the perfect weekend, this thought never even stuck my mind that I wouldn’t be in a position to leave the house for 2 days!!!!  On the way back home when we stopped for a quick snack break, my index finger stuck in the car door, I would have put a picture of the smashed finger but believe me readers I really dont want you to cringe!! but brave me typing with the left hand, this is what we call loyal net addicts!! But as always I am so thankful to god for blessing me with good friends around, when I see my roomies offering me breakfast to dinner in bed, Shreyas coming home with a bunch of dvds and my favorite maple machiato and many more such gestures, I am nothing but overwhelmed!! I am sure I would recover in no time with so much love around me!

I am having a lazy Saturday evening in bed, my best company is the new book recommended by miss PHD “The world is flat” by Thomas Friedman. I have just started reading this book so more about the review in following posts but so far it has been  good reading, it’s about globalization and how the world is connected etc, but in a lot more interesting way. Plus it’s a three times winner of the Pulitzer prize so I assume that it should be worth the attempt.

In this last week at EMC, I am working on the  implementation of Java web start and a little tweaking of my last project, then people, I will be all set for my India trip(haah). Till then be good, dont do anything I wouldn’t do!
