.. I did not understand this phrase until now when i thought of writing a blog every week. It makes sense.
Well, I thought I would try to write a short write up of things that went on the week that was.
After a long (about three months) I thought I should start thinking about something other than work. I had a hectic three months due to various reasons like unplanned execution, unexpected delays, improper estimation ... Well that had taught many things. I am yet to sort that out :)
Going forward, I decided I should be more organised and spend or distribute the time available about the various tasks at hand rather than only work. I had totally ignored my family. I could not spend time with my mother who stayed with me for a week and now am yearning for her to return back, could not sort out my bank loan issues and had random timings of late night sleeps and late morning timing to office. It is really painful to be unpredictable. However, i think the effort has not gone for waste and sure would yield the fruit
I cleaned my house after a long time. got tips from my sister on the things that are to be used for cleaning and she helped me out in choosing. She had a simple formula, harpic for the toilets and Domex for the floor and a simple broom stick. Well all I could do was use the broom and harpic for the toilets. I was tired and lazy to mop the floor.
Then on monday, going to office I had two more issues to resolve and that took away the time in office for the entire week.
Other than that I wanted to spend sometime on processing the photos I had taken over the last two week. Well, during the last two weeks I had time on sundays during which I went to Anekal once and a small hill temple in hosur. I had taken some panorama shots i.e. instead of covering a wide angle by buying some costly lens, you try to take many small pictures and sttitch them using software. The results are pretty good and you can see them on my flick account (flick.com/nitthilan)
Further, I had made a decision to workout daily (like this blogging i do not know how long it would last :) I had completed say around 5 successful days eventhough they were not regular and spread across the seven days.
Also, I had decided to not bite my nails some habit which really do not know when I started.
And yesterday, I was invited to a suprise birthday party of one of my friend's. I could not make it on time. As the host guessed, I had a thought that this is going to be a real formal party with many people invited and so thought that going a little (well it a hour and half) late would not matter. Well I was wrong. It was a small discrete party and very few people were invited. To the host's dismay he had expected everybody to be there before by 5:30 but only three were there. It was really suprise. I reached at around 7:00 and handed over the gift immeditely. Then we had a dumb-chareds, we split ourselves into two groups.Since the party had a equl number of ladies and gentlemen we had two groups of four each. As usual trying to make it funny and having the ego of a male we tried to boo down them saying we are going to win, which we know we would not. I did not know hindi and well most of us did not know many movies (we seem to watch too many movies but never have the thought back about them. I could figure that out after yesterday) The first round we lost. we were given a movie which had only three entries in googole of which one said they too had played with the same name and did know that one such movie existed. After a small tirade on cheating we gave them another movie which they were able to break it down syllabyl by syllabyl and find it out. Well that requires some innovation.
So we imposed a rule saying that breaking a word does not count and so another round went by only to be trapped by our own web, we got a movie name which was impossible without breaking the words. Well the game went on with we shouting at our empty victory until it was time for dinner waiting for the last guest to arrive who also had the key to dinner. He had ordered it and was to bring it down when he joins us. While waiting on it, one of the guest had to leave since she had to travel a long distance. She had requested the host to play the piano. The host is real good at piano. We had a enchanting session of music, first the piano and then the guitar. Well, the guitar had a twist (not only in the strings but also the way in which they were stiked) There a cacophonic adaptation of the hotel california or to say the The hotel keralaphonia. It had some really interesting lyrics which would make you stand and clap at the way one could have thought about to bring out such a adaptation of a cult classic.(google or youtube it for more)
After the girl left and the food arrived we were served dinner and before that another short interlude of music trying to create the original hotel california. Following which we had dinner. A sumptutous meal from Copper Chimney. Try out the Biriyani at Copper Chimney it is of a different flavour.
Then we had the cake cutting session with the birthday song going to talk about the birth place in the zoo. We had the cake served (ordered from coffeday blackforest chocolate) and was fantastic.
Then we waited till around 11:30 discussing about world politics, education system and what not and what all. Departing I got dropped near my place. Had a real good time and would remember it for a long time
See you next week bye
