One and a half years later...

Looks like I missed posting anything in 2008. Well, it was mostly a great year. First half highlights were Aby's visit, Grouse (with 2 Home Club gigs), Thailand and Bali holidays, complete chilling in Singapore during last months, and the many farewells culminating in my own farewell to Singapore and all my Singapore kaki. Sigh...

Second half was an MBA blur - studying, projects, company networking, drinking, etc - with a quick Delhi trip - Shivani's wedding and the opportunity to spend time with friends and family (sigh...) - thrown in somewhere in between. There was that road trip from Toronto to Atlanta before all that, and the Christmas trip to DC after that.

First few months of 2009 were "challenging" with both Shruti and I still looking for job/internship. Challenging, but continuing to have a lot of fun.

And now, I am Strategy Intern at Cox Communications with my nice private office and some very interesting work. Shruti is chilling at home while waiting for work authorisation that will put her at Delta Air Lines for the next year. Looking forward to exploiting air travel perks...

Entry for the year 2007

Big news. The wife and I have been accepted. By Goizueta Business School. Looks like we are moving stateside. To Atlanta. That really is big news.
Pa-Ma landing tomorrow morning to spend 2 weeks with us. Aby is not gonna make it though.
Today is my last working day of 2007. Yipee.

Life goes on

Honda Phantom TA200 FV8099B gleaming from yesterday's wash.
Visits to California Fitness Centre continuing at a satisfactory frequency.
Disappointed to see Oasis in concert with no skill whatsoever at working a crowd.
Arsenal continue to impress in the Champions League while dropping down the Premiership table steadily.

Take me to the church on time

I am getting married! July 30th. Kottayam.
Shruti's getting married too. Same day. Same place.

Deutsche Post

It's been a really long time since my last post, almost 4 months. And a lot has happened.
A lot has changed.
It's been a crazy few months, to say the least.

Now, I'm in a room in the Motorola office at Taunusstein near Wiesbaden, where I have been living since the 17th of last month. Came here on a 10-day trip, and my return has twice been delayed already. Now, I'm scheduled to be back in Singapore on Sunday; but there's enough time for that to change.

This is not a bad place to be in at all. Beautiful place in fact. Been guzzling down the 'bier' and hogging on all the 'wursts' and stuff. Done some sight-seeing. Made some short trips to Frankfurt and Mainz as well. It's just that it's a pretty small, quiet place (where everyone speaks in German) and I don't know anyone here. So after the first few days or so, it's been a little boring/dull/lonely at times.

Hope that I have more work during the rest of the week. Hardly done anything yesterday and today.

Just 4 days to ending my relationship with Accenture. Also, 4 more days before I go to Malaysia for the F1 race and all the associated debauchery. Just can't wait for this bloody week to end... 4 days to go...

Got a couple of nice maps of KL and M'sia for the weekend. The tickets are waiting to be collected at Bukit Timah. Car is confirmed at JB. 4 more days...

Need a work-out and a hair-cut. And Ringitt.

Jammed out

We have been jamming quite a lot these days. Everyone's been so on, and the frequency of the Commonwealth trips have been unprecedented. Need to take a short sabbatical and learn a few more songs now.

Like many other Wednesdays in between Champions League nights, today has been just a doped out day at work. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed, and hoping that Arsenal can pull off something of a miracle against Bayern tonight. We shall see...

I miss playing soccer. It's been a long time.
