13th November

13th November has always been special ,from the time I could remember!Somehow, 13 is also my lucky number besides being lucky enough to still keep in touch with a chilhoodfriend born on that date.

At work,it was a light day.So I turned in my assignment and I am still waiting for a review comment.Cant wait to get that accepted and then I can work on the new modulein hand.The new module began the same evening.I went to classes after picking up aregular(veg burger) on the way.I swore never to go back to that Malu cafeteria again,though their burgers are so yummy, I have to look out for a new,closer place.

Human Resources is the new module, the subject so dry,I hoped to get some help from the lecture.Nope, I was wrong.Her slow pace / her south african accent didn't help me keep interest!I had asked too many questions cos theory is so difficult to relate to in real life,I must have sounded like a dumber-er,in the context of "Dumb-Dumber andDumber-er".Anyways, we winded up quarter to ten.(Ooh! so English!)

I called up my close friend after I got back home.After about dialing 15 digits,the ringing sound made me glad,ensuring that that was still a telephone number, and whenshe picked up my mission for the day was ful-filled! We spoke quite a lot,about hernew lifestyle,places, people,household chores, family, friends--a long conversationand giggles in between that made us realise that though it has been a long while,thewait was worth-while!I hope she had a great day,as contrast to me,it was just the start of her day!

It's wonderful how just conversations keep me alive-their deep ,soothing effect,lasts for a while....am glad!:-)

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

The 1969 reunion!

My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion! While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer! That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!

Interesting traffic discoveries...

Now that I am preparing myself to be equipped with a local licence, u can imagine me concentrating on the differnces in the road, compared to UAE.So here goes some interesting things i find on the roads here:- a) You may make right turns on red light on most roads here, after you check traffic for urself! b)The names of the street are parallel to the road, so look right or left not straight for directions! c) there are Sensors just behind the stop line at traffic lights, that allows the system to run accordingly--so cool! d) i didnt find a single cab or bus near my place! i think its cos my area is not city! :-( e)i like the center lane idea, that allows u to stay on it and wait until u take a left turn safely!
