Get set and Go
============
Well folks, I am about to leave to india next monday. So, I am glad to get back there. My biggest problem here is I am eating hotel food everyday, which is very bad. U may never know when u will breakdown and by gods grace I was fit and fine over the entire trip. I hope to remain the same till next monday as well. So everything said and done, I was really planing to do something major this weekend. I wanted to visit LA or LV. But I didnt go to either one. Basically I am going to get ready and just while away my time or may be go to mani chitappa's house if i dont find any hopes of doing something useful. But the lesson learnt from planning for the trip.. U have keep something in mind before u talk to guys.. they will only digress the matter further if u have not planned.. and u Should be strong about what u have in mind.. And PLAN Early..
keep u posted with my developments.. as i head back home

Hey Guys,
How r u doing??? Since my visit to sf, the whole of last week has gone as usual - typical wake up & leave to office, do work till evening.. - go / dont go to gym - out for dinner back to room, so nothing great to write last week.. And this saturday we went to a place called monterey bay acquarium. Its the worlds largest acquarium. I am not going to write my experiences completely now as I am heading to my chitappa's house today after an hour, so i am basically getting ready. But I want to write something which I learnt yesterday.
A leader should not be diplomatic. He should never try to convince everyone. He should listen to the suggestions of everyone, but should take his decision (by keeping in mind the suggestions given by the rest) unless his decision is so rediculously stupid. I remember reading something similar when I studied about Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and I had mugged it very well in tenth. But, I understood it very well till yesterday. I really did something stupid yesterday and learnt a lesson of life. :-) These are pearls of life. This will come only with experience. As I told u, I will try to write about this sometime next week..

Passion & Patience - Highlights of my weekend
=================================
Hey guys,
Last weekend I didnt go to any major places. So this weekend I was bent on going somewhere. But unfortunately no body who had a car volunteered to take us out. So, we took an adventure outing. We planned the trip by 10 am in the morning, took a train to sf, visited a lot of places just by using maps, walked through the city, and came back by train. This was my saturday. It was serious fun.
But I leant a nice lesson in the whole process. Passion can do wonders to you. It was only because of passion that I had that come what may, I am going out for the weekend.. It was because of passion that we went to ghirardelli square for the worlds famous ice cream. I would have let go off this place, tushar was passionate about eating thr. Similarly, guys wouldnt have minded giving up on the trip.. but it was my passion that made me go for it.. although many ppl were interested in joining if something happened.. Passion gives u the spark that makes things happen.. Passion brings out a leader in you.. It CAN make a huge difference.
While still the pleasant memories of lambard street and 22nd street and china town and the bay bridge and everything other thing which i saw in sf, was still lingering in my mind, i landed up in a huge fix today. I locked myself of my bedroom, thanks to the completely different type of locking system here.. My laptop, phone, and camera etc was lying inside... I thought I could go out and check if i can ask for some help, and my apartment door locked.. god!! I am locked out of my house.. incidentally i dont evn have room mates to get back into my house, let alone my room.. Then, luckily i met prk, i went and had my lunch. I was actually patient during the whole process. I would have been so tensed and i would have made a fuss of the whole process if i was the same guy like how i was in college. The best part was I was able to think in the crisis situation. I prioritized what I should be doing first. I came back, called the emergency number of marriott, found a PATH to the solution. I go to leasing office, but I find that it was closed for lunch. I waited at prk's house.. having some fun with him, go back to office and then I get the keys to my apartment. It is not the solution which I want. Then a guy came with some screw drivers and all the necessary tools to my house and opens the door of my bedroom. I was very relieved. I am very happy that I was patient through the whole process. It was another experience, Not a pleasant one though.. Now, I knw I will be careful everytime I lock or
go out my room..
Catch u later

Queries Gallore!!
=============
Its more than a month since I first stepped in to this land, land of love at first sight.. (for many) and a big bad country for other.. :-) like harsha.. it has been quite an experience. Something which i find the most interesting is whenever i had a chat with anyone,they all ask me.. "Whats the time there now".. I am pretty sure as u r reading this blog, u will recollect that it is probably the first thing u would have asked me.. he he.. caught u.. There is nothing wrong or right about it, but i am generally telling what i experience.. infact, even i did this, when i had a chat with harsha, after he moved over here for his ms. For a moment, after i tell the time.. (i guess) you will wonder its 8o clock in the moring thr (or whatever the time is) and it will usually be dark for u in the night.. its time to give ur body some rest after a long day out in the sun.. but it will morning for me.. wonder how it will feel.. all sort of weird thoughts run in ur mind for a few seconds.. and then chat as usual.. people have also asked me how is the new place.. how is the culture here.. ( plz, i am not here to judge the culture here..) and what kind of food i get.. some of these are out of care, some out concern that they will be reaching here soon.. and some, just for curiosity.. after answering all these questions.. and whatever useful talk we have.. its again a turn to get confused.. more ofthen than not, they tell me good night.. and then put a nice smiley and then tell good morning.. :-) have a nice day.. i think u would have probably recollected every single thing i wrote here..
i am just wondering what would be running in their minds when they ask me questions like these.. y would everyone ask the time.. y do people ask about the weather.. after some introspection (while i am waiting for a program to compile), it is PROBABLY this.. people have a picture or a mindset about the place.. or for that matter anything.. picture is drawn either because of notation that they have built about the place from indirect sources, by seeing that place in tv, hearing about it.. getting to knw from people etc.. or directly when they visit it and when they ask you a question, all they do, is to verify or confirm the fact that their picture is correct.. if not, they change their mental picture about it.. thats how things are in life.. (i feel).. i am pretty sure.. u would have asked these questions..or something similar in life.. 1) how did u find forum - it would have been crowded right.. 2) It should be night for u right.. 3) how was ur visit to taj mahal.. it would have been beautifull.. 4) How are doing thr.. are u enjoy ur visit abroad.. these are the picture which ppl have.. they believe that a visit abroad is having fun.. or an enjoyment.. they think taj mahal is beautiful.... once u begin to confirm about the picture in ur mind.. or say correct ur picture in mind.. u dont generally ask these questions.. for example, nobody asks me time every day.. no body asks me.. how is the temperature.. unless i tell them that it was very cold or veryhot.. or something special.. the freshness and the curiosity to confirm the correctness... this makes ppl ask questions.. well if u see things in the long term.. i feel life is more or less like what i described.. u ask questions.. u form/ correct ur picture in you mind.. and then.. and once u get a good picture in ur mind.. u feel more assured .. i would say.. this is the process of maturing.. u can probably describe stuffs like insecurity is when u r unable to accept that the picture that u have in mind is going to change.. or some such thing.. u r getting me right.. well, i tried to pen down the meandering thoughts about life.. on the whole i had a some v pleasant experience.. well i also some bad experiences.. my picture of life has changed quite a lot.. i knw one thing is for sure.. the picture of life is sure to change every hour.. every day... throught life.. coz.. change is the only permanent thing.. but, the changes will not be drastic.. if these changes are drastic.. i would say, u r yet to mature in life.. yet to face life on your own.. life will move on.. keep u posted..
