2 posts in One Day!!!

Must be a record for me .. Lots of catching up to do.. No post in 2 months... sad but true.. so expect more - My new year resolution is to write till I drop or atleast till my Laptop drops...

about Seattle :
Beautiful place and being my first visit abroad .. nice place to be but WRONG time. All that I have seen is clouds and Rain. Its been a while since I have seen the sun. I could call it the light at the end of the tunnel. Atleast till this project is over.
So I get to see the sun when I go back to Bangalore....
My resolution is to make sure that I visit Seattle in Spring / Summer... if that is possible..

About work :
Work I am doing here is exciting but again goes completely against what I am supposed to do as a Business Analyst but who cares a- as long as I like it I do not give a damn..
As Ashwin would put it .. BFIC.

About my close group :
Everyone is getting married - what is going to happen to Saturday Nights from now on ? At least I wont be contributing to UB or Shaw Wallace ( but now that they belong to one company it really does not matter)
So UB please do not get people married so that I can add to your bottomline... but hey as long as everyone is happy. I am happy that my friends are getting married , happy for themn that they are settling down...
And Others : Kini , Virdee , Ashwin... and the others - long live the bottle of trust (or atleast bottle of Vodka) - Kind of loose translation on the fellowship of the ring and from Meet the fockers...

And finishing in true David Gilmour style : Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky , Turn Time twisted , an Earth bound misfit , I.
Soory for the plagiarism - Kini , I know I ack owledged PF but not you...

A very loong time since I wrote

Aaaaahh its been two monoths since I came to Seattle. Sleepless in Seattle very truly in the first 3 weeks , in fact dozed in a couple of meetings and then finally woke up!!!

Work is okay only that many people do not see the point immediately. One one hand I have someone who does not know what is being done but gives me my space to do what it takes and on the other I have this guy who does not know anything of what I am doing but decides to put his foot into MY mouth...

Bad Mistake which will pay rich dividends for me later!!! ( You can see me gloating already)
Other than that , Basically work and not too much of Play. Getting to know people and also calling up on long lost cousins and friends.
Got to talk to some of them after 3 years and it was nice catching up on what was happe ning over the phone. Especially due to this small VOIP software that gives free calls to anywhere in the US... There is a free meal or so atleast a free snack somewhere.
Catching on what is happening in India. Many strange things , we had terrorists attack on of the highest educational institution... why would they do that ? maybe they wanted in so desperately and they figured out that this is the only way into the IISc.
No Cricket and no games. No TV ( Hotel TV sucks big time...) and thankfully I am not that much a TV person. This makes me put myself harder at work - lucky for my company.
Days are spent between ABAP code , JavaScript code and my iPod. At sometimes I feel like a developer and not so much of a Business Analyst for what I was hired. Confusing questions - Am I doing what I want to do ? or am I not doing what I am EXPECTED to do. I atleast thought that both were the same for some time atleast. Probing questions and no answer in sight.

Its either the thinking cap or the sleeping cap for me .. adios...
