I'm leaving on an aeroplane - unfortunately for you, I'll be back again....

Well yup...flying out today...doesnt feel like it though. I guess on my way to the airport I'll be really excited. Maybe the last few days have been so 'normal' that it doesnt feel like I am going to be flying out...well lets see...have been looking forward to a vacation for so long...of course this isn't a vacation vacation...more like a stressful trip - just out of the country in an exotic location hehe...
Well it should be fun, and I plan to chill out quite a bit...meet new people...unfortunately I will also be making a fool of myself - both at the time of dancing and giving my speech :( but whatever...I HAVE TO enjoy myself cause when I get back...my next vacation will be a long way away and my need for a vacation would have increased 10x

Nisha would be proud of me...

Yup...I got nail polish on my toes and will get some nail polish on my hands too, within the next 3 hrs...and I will have polish on my nails for the next whole week....



I hate it...

Someone please explain to me why Mittal so badly wanted Arcelor...

Vivek - To produce 3 times more steal then the competition.
Bims - same reason microsoft would want to buy apple
Mahesh (K not M) - Mittal wanted Arcelor for two reasons...
one...to become the biggest steel producing company in the world..
two...his ambition later was followed with his ego...

Whats with all the lightning?

Well 46 people have died and many more injured due to lightning strikes this year. Never before have I heard of more than 3 deaths due to this reason. I am sure lots of people are worried about lightning striking them this year.
Of course there has been more lightning this year than most years...
So my question is, what happens when you start to fear what you consider divine?
How does this question pop up here you wonder?
Well I consider lightning and thunder divine...they are totally MIND BLOWING. Nothing gives me a bigger thrill than watching lightning and hearing the thunder that follows...its music to the soul...but I will be honest...this year even I am a little weary of lightning. I still think it totally rocks...but I wont go out of my way this year to try and catch a glimpse of some.

Think Differently...

That what I have to do.
Thats what I am going to be getting paid for.
Thats whats going to help me do my job.
Thats whats going to help me make more money.
Thats whats expected from me....

Flying in 9 days...

Well nope I am not doing a count down...but I wasnt fast enough in changing my nick, so Trig (who says he keep a track of all things bolt - or all things that use to be bolt hehe) said 'whats going on, I see 10 yesterday, I see 10 today, whats going on?' so I changed it and made it 9...and that was yesterday. Its 9 today too when it should be 8 hehe...but trig wasnt online today ;)
Anyway I am excited and worried like I said before but it seems so long ago since I sat in a plane (which was just one year ago - which means I am getting too use to the idea of travelling). Of course last year when I sat in the plane I hadn't watched any episode of NatGeo Investigates (hehe they usually investigate lots of place crashes) so I will be a little nervous this time around. Doesnt help that I am flying in the monsoons or with a new airline (Thai - we usually fly Cathay - of course we have always ended up in only HK and Manila).
Anyway I am already looking forward to next years trip - which would be at least HK if no where else. Love the city. Maybe I can check out Dubai.
I am soooooooooooo grateful that I have family scattered all over :D

Flying in 10 days...

Yup, flying out on the 28th...10 days away...both excited and nervous...slightly depressed too because my HK plan got cancelled *sob sob*, but bleh I'm still glad to be going on vacation. My new worry though - neither are the dances ready, nor is the speech I have to give. Hopefully by the time its my turn to give the speech, I will know a lot of people there and they will think I'm real nice and sweet, and so they wont make fun of me when I have to give the speech. Lets see.
Anyway the timing of the trip is bad - Got a new boss and things are getting ummm interesting at work. But I do need a break - clear my head out, plan ahead. Meet new people. Do new things - like dancing in front of 100+ people aghhhh...Take lots of snaps yayyyyy - this is my fav. Try and have a good time :)

Back to college?...

I'm thinking of doing MCom this year, to get my 16th year of education (incase I do plan to go abroad in the future). Lets see if I can get back into my previous college. Getting in might not be too tough, seeing how they give prefrence to students on certain criteria - and I was in a good handful of societies and clubs and really did do some work for them. Lets see what happens...I will know by the 22nd.

Rakhi Sawant - you're a dumbass...

Ya she is...I havent seen anyone more idiotic than her.
I mean who else is so retarded to dance near naked in 'hot and steamy' music videos viewed by thousands of people and then come out and say something like 'I am an Indian woman - kissing like that is not right a peck on the cheek is okay'.
For crying out loud if you want to make an issue of a guy grabbing you and kissing you, thats what you should make an issue about - if you are not a willing participant, its wrong and thats about it. That's all anyway should say. Not idiot things like 'I am an India woman'. Ridiculous.
Man even publicity stunts have no class these days.

Gooooo Justine Henin Hardenne...You will always be a superstar Federer - even if you never win the French Open...

Well what do you know, Justine Henin Hardenne (pronounced as Justine en en ar den) won the French Open Womens Trophy this year too. Havent watched much of her expect at the last French Open. She moves real fast, which is something I hate in players who arent my favourites hehe, but since I have no favourite in the womens draw, its good fun. The one thing that you realise about Justine, that you dont of most players is how her head doesnt move much and honestly since I am so new to tennis, I dont know the significance of head position (maybe its got somehting to do with balance or follow through), but its so obvious in Justines game and really catches the eye when they show replays of her shots. Well good on her for winning the trophy for the 3rd time. I think it goes to prove that once you set your mind to it, you can achieve whatever you desire. She not only fully recovered from her viral disease but also goes and wins grand slams. Its just fantastic. Way to go Justine.

Well the obvious happened - Federer lost to Nadal (dont like him much - nearly always wins when he is playing Federer). Ofcourse clay courts arent Federers strengths but I do wish he would have won. Of couse he needs to change his game. I think he should try new things, move into the net, try and hit the baselines more often, try a double handed back hand etc. I dont know enough about the technicalities of the game to make comments but he really needs to do new things. Maybe he should, just to amuse himself. He wins so easily most of the time that too. He doesnt have to do fancy things. He doesnt have to stay on court for 4 - 5 hours often. It sort of hampers him when he needs all these skills the most. Anyway I dont see Federer wining the French Open anytime soon. Maybe some day he will get 'lucky'....I'll be hoping for that day...

Please leave a comment...

To all those of you who ACTUALLY read my blogs, that too on a regular basis, please leave a comment atleast every now and then.

A new day has come...

Turning over a new leaf....life isnt always what you make of it...but it doesnt have to be totally miserable. There has to be a point when you put your foot down and say you have had enough. That point has come for me. No more bitching...no more sobbing...no more complaining...
Its time to use my energies in better things. To be more positive. To get better results. Its about time I stopped wasting my time and my life. Its time I stopped blaming everything else other than myself. I will now take responsibility of my actions....

2:26....6:06 on 6-6-06

Well I couldnt think of anything to put down so I put down the time which was 2:26 p.m.

And then I realised that today is 6-6-06 so I thought I'd put that down but didnt want to change 2:26. Ahhhhh the trouble we all have letting go....we should learn to let go....you get better things in life sometimes. And then I thought of why not 6:06 too...crazy day AND time...

Well and since today morning some people have been telling me about Omen and showing crossed fingers and all of that and I didnt quite get it...I thought it was just because the day was so coincidental but just a while ago I realised that 666 is the number of the devil...yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I know ...I'm slow....but thats only at times...and I'm sure you will disagree...but whatever...

Anyway nothing really bad happened today...only good things in life from now on....

All this negativity

I dont want anymore of it...
Whats done is done...
For me its over...
What good does it do...
Need to learn to move on...
I will die trying but Im going to try like hell not to be negative anymore...
I have way too many good things in my life and its about time I start appreciating them. I had a nice big venting session and I do believe that a lot of 'venom' is out of my system. Maybe not directed in the correct way and at the correct people or for the correct reasons but I am done bitching. Life is too good to waste away being negative...and all the horrible 'vibes' all of this creates...I dont want any more of it. I want to be dedicated to my work. I dont want to make stupid excuses. I am done with that too. Its about time....

Did I already mention that I hate the rains?...Incase I havent - I HATE THE RAINS...

Yup I hate the rains....
