my bus drivers
08.16.05 (5:07 pm)   [edit]

ok here comes a very different post..ntn abt my life will add it soon..have u guys ever noticed the drivers on the buses you ride through their reflection on thr passenger view mirror for them..hehe i do..and i am sure there is something with them..cos all of them have some particualr habit..


like the one in NUS..with a thin chinese beard..old guy..keeps twitching his head which will put the best Indian dancer babes to shame


or the guy i saw yesterday when i took 98 to office..he used to shut his left eye so tight..and then the right will follow suit and then he would jerk his shoulders to get them both open..weirrrrrrrrd


well tis wasnt just a one time thing..they did that all through my journey..any u guys observed such wacko drivers

 
my damn life
08.11.05 (5:16 pm)   [edit]

hey guys..it has been like ages since i put up something on the blog..yeah it is time..u must be wondering wat happened..well wat can happen in this place ..other than getting more and more busy..well..weekdays after the NYC trip jus hurried away..and then came the weekend..more so the friday..the ACI party at John' place..that was so cool..thr waws so much food to eat..wao..and u hav to believe it that i drank 9 beer bottles..and yeah was gone..until dawn started crying and it was a mess..she feels lonely and i understand it..i just hope i can find a shoulder wen my crying time comes..


then weekend was the art museum..it was so enchanting..we can pay as much as we want.. it waws so amazing to see..van gogh..picasso..but i was amazed by more unknown works..the huge pictures of biblical myths..the age old chinese pottery..the arms and dressing of a champion going for a lance battle..it waws amazing..then we dropped to the benjamin frankin institute..clearly eric was so excited like a little boy seeing the huge heart thru which we cud walk thru..it was great..and i learnt i acutally hav 22 cups of blood in me..wawtver that sposed to mean..


then this week was one of the more irritating days when ravi came and told me to not do the work on marketing of the software..it was so dishearrtening..someone being an entrepreneur himself how can he stop creative flow..disgusting..anyways..has put me off the work for sometime..


and yeah i started working for eatnow doing data entry and i am going quite fast i should say..there is cash to be earned and i want to get that ipod so bad..will work my ass for it..i know i can work when i have a goal in mind and thats wat i do these days..non stop work from 630 to 12..it is amazing..i hope i feel proud after this..


and yeah to finish today i asked estee to tie me rakhi atfer i got letter from delhi..


jus wanna write i felt so happy and proud..only for me to understand..take care..will get back soon

 
my NYC trip
07.31.05 (6:01 pm)   [edit]

hey guys..this will be a bit long..cos yday was long day..well reachin NY at 930 wif a bus full of sleeping ppl wasnt really ideal..and we land at china town..not the ideal place to see first in NY..though the dimsum breakfast was nice..then we make the biggest blunder of life..taking wrong direction train after fiddling an hr at the metro card auto-machine..and reach Coney Island,Brooklyn only to make another trip back wasting a coupla hrs for ntn.. then we took train to jetty for liberty island..only to see a mile long queue for tickets followed by 2 miles for boarding..with the heat getting killing we decided it to give a skip for next time..from there it was an enchanting walk on broadway.


first was the NYSE bull..huge animal i must say..and then we came across the trinity church..built right in the centre..it was so soothing and peaceful..we got to see then the wall street and NYSE..after that it was a walk to ground zero..it is like a big scar in such a beautiful setting..even though i never saw the towers i got the feeling of something amiss thr..it was pretty scary..wif people crying and surrounding to see the big gaping crater..but the americans are rebuilding already..its so stupid i feel..to build something on a cemetery of so many..its inhuman but others feel its matter of pride..


the lunch at TGIF was so freaking expensive..my most expensive meal by far..NY is such a ripoff..then it was trip to Times Square..that place is like so fabulous..huge billboards..huge buildings..bustling wif life..people..energy..action..there is so much to see so much to feel..they say if you stand there long enough you can see every person on earth..lemme assure you..i believe it now..


after that we met anand..he looks hideous now wif his beard..will look much better after going tirupati..religious fella..then jersey..full of indians and met shweta..seems like a decent gal to me..quite frenly..must hav better qualities for anand to like her..will get to noe her more..food at ming was nice..everyone was happy to eat such authentic chinese at an indian place..now i get the joke in american desi why they mention jersey when they talk about indians..that place is swarming with indians..the whole food area has indian restaurants..indian CD shops,indian theatres..its crazy..after the restaurant the drive back was pretty scary..all three ziliag,eric and julia sleeping at the back and anand like sleeping and falling..every seconf felt like an accident..and then gettin lost again and again and make a 2 hr ride close to 4 hrs is nt exactly fun..with the driver like half asleep..and always the feeling of cops catching u..but wat to do..it dint turn out so..and we were back home at 2..all in all amazing day..check out for more soon

 
my first week
07.22.05 (9:10 am)   [edit]

hmmmm..been a week since i added anything..i thot i will add after a day..but tat dint happen cos i dint have enough to add.. the whole week is passing now..and i realise internships arent anyways close to jobs..internships r meant to be small..i was thinkin too big dreamin too high..


can pretty much see tat i will be doing a lot of boring stuff..which i dont think challenges me.. it will be dull n monotonus..paperwork,documentation adn crap..hopefully i can take it the right way..


there are so few ppl working here..it def is different from a big corporation..u can practically hear everythin which is happening and feel wat is the mood..very very diff..havent made tat fast frens..but my supervisor is nice..


keeps picking me on my accent..correcting me..teaching me..hopefully can get an accent thru him:p..but yeah he has this thing of doing stuff his way..which can get irritating sometimes..all i hav done this week is move stuff,,read documents..and a bit of research on keyword..pretty slow start..but i bet u guys..it wont be like this forever

07.17.05 (6:18 pm)   [edit]

e city of brotherly love..i hope it is actually..this plc is so awesomely made..so good for walking..everything is grid..so u always noe where u are in e grid..reminds me of the stupid maths problem in fm in which there were so many streets from north to south and so many frm east to west and how many ways can a guy go from here to there..but trust me tis is much better..


there are subways and trolleys and railways and amtrack..and cabs and buses and dunno how many different ways to travel arnd this plc..but i love going on foot..the day of apartment lease and chinatown shopping it was so much fun to go on foot..benjamin franklin parkway rocks..was so proud to see my flag there..keeps the indian inside me happy..:d


people..there is the lovely dawn..she helped us in so many things..sometimes she feel like me..remindsd me of wat i have felt back home..i did the same for my juniors n was attached to them like she is to us..makes me feel nice..make sme feel i am nt e only one who is insane..n that it isnt unnatuaral to not be be one iwf e ppl who u live wif..then eric da man..he can cook and still is nice..e perfect roommate..let me touch wood..and ziliang..i am sure he will become frens..peiling..e deepika type gal..but she is so sweet..and phebe..hehe she got everything figured out..i think her children' name as well...freaks me out..estee well she is the go arnd fun types..very nice talkin to her..will keep u guys updated more abt my apartment and my work soon

my first impression
07.16.05 (6:11 pm)   [edit]

hey guys..i noe this kinda is a very weird time to start a blog..but was inspired my my fren to do this..and comin to usa..supposedly a land of opportunities..and prolly start of a new phase of my life..i think it might be right time to start writing..and knowing i am lazy lets see how long this can go..


well first impression of usa..huge ppl..huge obesity rates..the airhostesses were so fat that i thought they will get stuck in the aisles and we blame the poor indian airlines aunties..this place gives me the impression of land of plenty..at least in terms of food..when on the other hand there are places on earth whr twice a day meal is a big question mark..


anyways..detroit airport..so long felt like never ending..planes for ppl here are wat trains for us..dunno wen we will be able to catch up wif them..and landing in philly makes me feel am in a plc which is an odd mixture of singapore and india..land with modern gadgets with a huge population..it has machines and still the space to sit on a park bench and feed the pigeons..makes me feel i wanna live here..
