After a while...

Woww...it seems like I started blogging and completely forgot that once I became interested in blogging.

Well last month in India was great and fanatastic. It was my maiden trip to India post wedding and we were really pampered and looked after so well. 

Gauri joined us on our way abck and she is happily settled with us. 

We both start with our classes next week. I will be taking three classes this quarter and I bet it is going to be tough with work and studies. Although Evan ahs been really nice for getting me from 40 hr/week to 25 hrs/week.

My classes this quarter are 

• Computer Architecture
• Computer Networks
• Client Server Programming

Wish me luck folks.

Another reason for my excitement is Mom's trip to Mtn. View tomorrow. We plan on doing lots of things this week when she is here. 

Well abhi I will sign off as Alena wants to go for a walk outside.

Ciao!

I phone excitement and fenzy all around...

...after reading so much about the iphone which has just released, I wish we could make it at 8 a.m. in the morning to valley fair and purchase it then.
We will go in the evening and hopefully should become proud owners of black and white today itself.
Will write more about it after we get one...

Sunset at Half Moon Bay

Today Priyendra and I randomly decided to go to Half Moon Bay to see the sunset. When we left from Mountain View it was sunny but by the time we reached highway 92, it became so cloudy, although it was fun, especially now that Shanno is back and we had the top down and were listening Mauja hi Mauja:)

The water was really cold by the sea. We also played a game for 5 minutes on the beach. Priyendra hid his pair of Old Navy under the sand and I had to look for them. Kiddish..yeah!!! But it was fun.
We were hungry by the time we left HMB so hogged on Salad at Fresh Choice and then rushed for Iron Man on Shoreline.
Iron Man was good fun. It was a fun thriller and kept us glued to our seats for ~2 hours.
In short. today the entire day was very relaxing!

Iearnt a new thing in the Release process

Today I went early to work thinking that I will return home early and go for the spinning class at the gym. I was fairly excited about leaving the office early till 4 when suddenly I was bombarded with work. I was really apprehensive starting that new work without Tom or Ken. Evan asked me to start the entire thing. Also I needed to create the branches int he new build today as tomorrow there might be a build execution.
Alas!!!as opposed to my wishes I came back at 8:40p.m. I had no intentions of cooking so we rushed to Fresh Choice and grabbed a lot of salad and ate to my heart's contention.
Right now I am at Google. Priyendra still has some work to complete so I thought of jotting down my day's experience.
My bug has not yet returned from the auto shop. It was supposed to be here last Friday. Since the time summers started, I would pull down the top of Shanno and drive back home on Fridays. As it is everybody is colorful on a Friday. How I miss Shanno right now.
The auto parts person said he has not received a few parts form the dealer. He is waiting for them to come and we are waiting for Shanno to come home. All the more since we are both tied to one another these days as there is only one car. either he drops me or I drop him at Google.

Anyways I think he is almost done with his work. Will get back to my page tomorrow.
Gudnite:)

Randy Pausch still alive!!

I am so glad that Randy Pausch is still alive. He wrote his blog yesterday. As per his blog he seems to be fine. Good I am happy. I wish God just keeps procrastinating his death.
Anyways....I am happy.

Is Randy Pausch dead?....

I am not sure if Randy Pausch is still alive. Yesterday my professor told us that the man behind the "Last Lecture" breathed his last breath. I did an extensive search on the internet for him but did not find any such news. May be the extremely optimistic man did not want to let the world know when he leaves us and goes to the Almighty.
I have been following his blog from the time I saw his "Last Lecture". It is so nerve wracking to see a person who knows how to live life to the fullest. In fact I would say there are mixed emotions. You want to learn from the person to live life and also when you look at him, you feel he is such jabber box, what will happen if he is turned mute by God all at once.
His life has been an open book now and he writes daily about his health in column in his blog which he calls as "Box Score".
He is a dying hero. I call him a hero because with his humor and optimism and Jim Carey ways he has captivated the attention of millions of us.

If any one of you wants to follow his blog, here is the link: http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/index.html

Beginning it today...

I have been wanting to start blogging since so long but always wanted to start with a dhinchak blog.
It is high time and I don't think I can delay it further as I am almost getting close to my First Anniversary celebrations yaar. I am growing old. And today I think that as I grow and evolve, someday I might have a dhinchak blog.
When kids grow up, they want to become either a doctor or an engineer. When one grows up in the blogging world, one has idols too. I have never been close to the blogging world but have always read great bong's blogs. I really appreciate him for his sense of humor and being so close to the Desi within him. May be gradually I will start having more blogger gurus.

I will get back to work now and keep writing as and when I feel like:)
