drat! forgot to click on the ‘update journal’ button before i shut off my machine last night! that’s just like me i guess!
was here in office cooking up quiz questions till about 10:30 pm, not much luck though 🙁

got a sore thumb from playing the violin for a long time, but my teacher’s getting me a new violin case, and i’m real excited about it. even if i might have to pay a discounted amount…eby was asking me how i manage to impress people wherever i go (!!!) nopes, i dint get that one…dont know what he meant? can you really do that??? *impress* people??

read a shocking news last night (about the serial-women killer)…related to the gory nightmares i always get (i think). cried for at least 10 minutes before i must have dozed off.

eby tells me i need to get spiritually closer to god, and that this is *his* way of telling me…i’m a little unsure of that nightmares!!). but eby’s very nice, and very concerned too, he asked me to pray to jesus before going to bed…i was too tired at night, and remember mumbling something to jesus to take care of me. this was the day before yesterday. and guess what! it worked!! i slept like a baby though through some intense dreams. mighty coincidence, this.
he (ebs) gifted me the bible and two other books …sometimes i wonder if any of this religious funda matters at all!

just visited enlightenedboy and jace’s journal! imagine being one of the only 6 (six) users in india!!! wowee i feel great!!! decided to update my journal each day, even if it has to be one word!!

is there a time u can call your own??

does the clock know the time? – a friend had asked me once…no, i did not have the answer.

went home last week. wanted to surprise my parents…and what a journey that was. 25 hours! cost me rs 450, a neck and a spine.

visiting the chipsters was almost overwhelming! made me feel right at home…kp ran all over the place announcing my arrival, like i was some big shot! hari thumped a HUGE calvin and hobbes treasury collection in my hands and said it was for me !!!!! george wanted me to join crn and gave me his funda about zdnet, itspace and crn. dhaval accompanied me till sion station (he’s changed so much, my chachu dhav). veer took me around in the brand new zen that his father gifted him… we finally had coffee together. jace introduced me to shvetank who later interviewed me for zdnet. i was so tempted to say ‘yes’ right away!

i also met mahesh shantaram, and of course, sumod, vrushali, pillaiji, gv, hari (again) and ‘the’ manoj everyone was telling me about!
gulnar, umesh and gourav were in goa…too bad, i thought then, almost disappointed!

other bombay friends…sameer and ivor and sandeep. met sanjeev too, but i was really pre-occupied and tense and sanjeev left after we had a coffee and choc-doughnut at hotbreads. just like him! he doesnt like to be with ppl who are not in a mood for good news and fun. its a good practise, actually…keeps you in good cheer always. met prakash 30 minutes later. praks has a new office now…everyone’s grown up and doing their own thing.

what about me? am i on the right track, i keep asking myself.

flew back to bng the next day. spoke with gulnar and decided to go to goa!! told sharmela about it (heh heh, she didnt have much choice! i’d booked my ticket already 😉

took me 15 hrs to reach goa. this time i lost my patience too! not that i’d found my neck and spine though!
but it was all well worth it. i needed the breaks, i think. and now i think i’ll go back to bombay. to be with zdnet. have lots of ideas i’d like to try here.

will at least take me a month though. but it would be a shame leaving my house and independence and all 🙁

i still wonder if i’ll be doing the right thing, but hey, what the heck!

god! imagine having to update about 10 (thats ten)days into your ‘LIVE’ journal!!

okay…i can feel my comp go phat anytime now!!!!!….hang on there, till i try and recollect what i had been up to all these days 🙂

lot of work to catch up…at home too.
have to call gulnar.
to the shop at raheja arcade, a coffee, maybe.
need to visit my violin teacher today. she’ll tune my violin for me, mebbe i’ll attend the class too, but i’m not sure if i really feel like it today.
have to call mal after class, might go over to her place too.

shiv’s come to bng, and so has sangeeta chengappa. hope i dont run into chengappa. not that she’s not a sweet person and all…but she’d said something about me and a friend four years ago that still troubles me.

angry? no way! i dont think i can ever get angry or upset at someone. but i have a memory that doesnt allow me to forget easily either.

we all might be going for a movie today (shiv, mal, deepak, myself, eby and [ulp!] chengappa).
erin brokovich- hope i spelt it right. they say its a true story.

okay! got to rush now! catch u later!
