life in upswing!
All of a sudden lot of things seem to be happening. joined a salsa class by two brits who are here to start a salsa scene. Couldn't believe I would ever do that in India. Got a new dog today. Her name is itsy-bitsy, after the song intsy-bitsy teenyweeny...yellow polka dot bikini--not that she wears one, but she is as shy as the girl in the song. My new favourite and the vet says she knows that i like her much. Sorry maxie, i know is not fair to have favourite and you do love me, but... She has schnauzer blood in her and i got her a blue collar today and even gave her a good scrub down. Will deworm her before her dinner. My mother seems to be having a lot of fun. All her friends had come home and they have been having lot of song and dance. Even gourav's mom was there. Excitement is finally building up. |

Maniac ME
jast took the famous personality test and here are the results PROBER (Dominant Introvert Concrete Feeler ) Like just 3% of the population you are a PROBER (DICF)--curious, passionate, driven, and probing. You're the kind of person who can't leave well enough alone. You have a very strong personality and a sense of adventure. And you'd rather go out and experience things for yourself than take someone else's word for it. Some people probably think you're a maniac. People have a hard time believing you're an intelligent person. Perhaps there's a reason for this? Time will tell. Does this make sense! and hey guys, when will you open your eyes and finally realise that i am intelligent. |

on an upswing
Have been ignoring the log, but there really was a dire need to bring my life into a good routine. I managed to bring it in line this week. Report to work at 9.30 in the morning. Work till 5,30 or six, then I head back for either a walk or a swim (will go running soon) take a shower, cook, read and then get back to about an hours work. It seems to be great. I am soon going to fill in other details in it and by the next month I shall be cruising along in my chosen path—of a life pattern that offers learning and self-discipline. I bought dresses for Sunita today. Hope they fit her. Have never bought clothes for a three-year old. The Center has three dogs now, two are very small and need a lot of attention Dheero fawns over them like a fond father. Jace, shall send you their pics. Dheero has bought Cerelac for the puppies and Gourav calls him ‘Cerelac dad’. Went for a movie last night—dhadkan—walked out during the interval. Ate ham sandwiches in the morning—they were yum. |

Virtual reality
Where lies the problem? Why the conflict? Perceptions versus reality? Or just skewered reality versus dimmed perception? When life is such a big mystery what am I doing wasting time in a small things! Will i ever work this out? Does anyone really know the answer? Does anyone care? |

Power steering!
Some days are just so frustratingly boring. I am not really bored I am put off, as I tend to, sometimes, because of a very small thing. Competitiveness that is uncalled for and unnecessary… don’t think I will be able to completely be free of it in my environment. I just have to always remind myself not be to be rat.To look at the bigger goal, not temporary adulation. Why do I even care? As my future stands before me I know I will always encounter these silly little snags, everywhere(?). Need that change my behaviour? No, but it should even cease to irritate me. I need to blind myself to changes to tone and shifts of power when a certain person comes on the scene. Aren’t we as a race very slavish? We are different faces to different people. Power (intellectual, political) and money call the shots. Somehow when it is intellectual power it is worse, because it is coupled with an inherent snootiness of superiority that is more pronounced than plain political power that can often be dismissed as crass. |

Tech-talk
Just back from dinner. Another strange day ends. Have not been able to accomplish much. Or maybe I have managed to… My head is spinning with Business2.0. I now know a number of new things, and technologies and software. And the funniest thing is I never liked technology. Here I am completely immersed in digital media. Like electricity, technology has become part of me. I chat and I wait for e-mail. Actually I do miss tete-a-tetes, especially with women, my age. I am living a kind of unreal reality where there are only men in my horizon. Jace was asking me about the stories, but I am kind of nervous about putting them online, they seem very personal all of a sudden, maybe some are really sad, wistful… very unlike ME! My modem is again giving me problems. Shall not let it bug me for long! Must write that long promised mail to veer. The only reason why I am delaying it is that unlike other mails it needs my undivided attention and right now I have too many pre-occupations. It will be there soon veer, if you read this remember I am thinking of you And will surely write an honest mail soon. |
