Work and more work, and Troy

These last couple of weeks have been a lot of work. The weekends seem to be the only reprieve. Hope I can continue not working in the weekends.

Well with even this much work I squeezed in a movie last Friday. It was the opening day of Troy in India. It was an ok movie. The movie at sometimes was infuriatingly bad and sometimes clumsily funny. But the end justifies the means and you end up being satisfied with the movie. The sets and the battles scenes were not extra ordinary. But the individual fights were cool. But the moral of the story is pathetic, so don't try to look for one. Waiting the release of Spiderman 2 and also the opening of the multiplex in Forum.

Hope I can blog more frequently.

Love,

Schumi rocks

As I became more cheerful in general, so has the sports loving side of mine.

Schumi definitely rocks. 7 out of 8, is unbelievable. I am sure no F1 follower could have predicted Ferrari's dominance could be this big this year. I just hope schumi finishes with 17 out of 18 :-).

France pulled of an amazing win over England. Man it was like magic. More than saying France won it. It was like England gifted it away. Two goals after 89 minutes is too much. Hope France and England can put on a much better performance in their future games.

Then Pistons dethroned Lakers. Though my favs, Nets couldn't reach the finals, its good to see the Lakers beaten.

Life moves on

Yeah, life does move on. Sadness moves away. Life is again filled with happiness.

"Inbathil pirandhu, inbathil valarnthu, inbathil madinthavan yarum illai
Thunbathil pirandhu, thunbathil valarnthu, thunbathil mudinthavan yarum illai,
Inbam pathi Thunbamum pathi irandum vazhvin angam"

One thing I can vouch for is that its our mind that dictates all this, and if we can think stuff through clearly then every mess will clear up. And to do this all you need is time and a good environment to sit and think.

My cousin's marriage was on 6th June, so I had gone to my native place, Virudhunagar. I went there after quite a long time. And I use to hate marriages, where you sit and get bored. But this time it was very refreshing to meet all my relatives after a long time. Also during the quiet time I could mull over the issues I faced. Man it refreshed me like anything. This set the direction for my week.

But the week was hectic with work and I did mention to my career advisor about my discontent on doing the work I was doing. Then came the fun weekend, man that was tiring. First on Saturday the whole company had a outing at Club Cabana. After the initial games, had a lots of fun in water. After a disappointing bowling tourney, went to the outdoor games. I played basketball after more than a year and it felt GOOD. I just want a bball court near our office.

In the evening there was some lucky dip kind of thing where I won a 500 bucks voucher, so with my pockets full hit the dance floor. But that day my intensity was knocked down with a few cramps and tiredness. But that couldn't stop me from getting an award for dancing till the day end.

Slept like a log but was awakened by my cousin remind me to meet him. Left after noon to his place, quite far away, and as was very near to his place, my car brokedown. Then it took about hour and a half to fix it. Then I went to a couple of temples with my cousin and his in-laws. First was some ashram on the way to the Golden Palms and then we went to Iskon. That was my first visit to Iskon in a year. It was a cool hangout actually, overseeing whole of Bangalore. It was very commercial also with pastries even being sold there. Maybe I should go there with my friends sometime.

Then we finished the day with visiting KFC on Brigade road and Harry Potter in Symphony, where many slept. Body aching from previous day, I had a gooood sleep. This week on Monday night I am told I am moved to another team, DCX retail, where the work is more challenging. Also my code freeze went pretty good. So now in much better shape than a couple of weeks before.

Hope to positive ever after....

A Mixed Week

This post is mainly my polambals.

Lots of times people do things they regret. Maybe this week is when I have been doing regretful things. I just hope I understand. Life seems to monotonous suddenly. The worst part is that even after all the fun last weekend in our college get-together I am feeling so. Work this week has been crappy to say the least. And my actions seem even more crappy. Though I am not going to elaborate on what those actions were, I just hope I figure out my mistakes, and understand them.

Life is very mysterious. Why can't it be simple? I just read a forward abt How to live life. But its tough to follow it. Yeah I know everything is easy to preach but tough to practice.

Maybe I am getting bored of work, but the comedy is I don't know. I am confused. Rite now my work is to re-skin a website. I am pretty good at it I guess. But the work is very manual and painful. Can anyone suggest any good idea to relive myself. I don't think I can take a vacation now, but am doing quite a lot of traveling these days. Today I am going to Virudhunagar to attend my cousin's marriage.

Now to other side, this week was also quite fun. Yesterday we went to Harry Potter 3, premiere show. It was better than the first two movies. Also day before yesterday, the cause for all the confusion was also a very fun day. This is what is making everything confusing. Let me see how the future unfolds.

I have polambified enough I guess. Maybe my extended weekend of being away will help me out. I just need to give my mind a break from confusing itself.

Confused, and a bit frustrated,
