ThoughtfulChaos

1. Woke up. Switched on Radio Mirchi. Did morning chores.
2. Had milk with Bournvita and some bananas for breakfast.
3. Dressed. Came to office on beloved bicycle. Weather was nice so enjoyed the ride.
4. Came to desk. Booted the computer. Checked inbox for that eagerly anticipated email.
5. No mail. Speculate why no mail. Speculation fruitless.
6. Went to fetch a cup of hot lemon tea.
7. Read 345 unread posts in feed reader. Resolve to cut down on number of blogs read. Especially personal blogs.
8. Did some work. Have prepared a list of things to read and catch up on. Read some about buffer overflows. Many more security related topics on my to-read list.
9. Checked inbox once again. Expected email still missing. Fret.
10. Applied for leave. Called up travel agent to book tatkal tickets for next week.
11. Went to lunch with couple of office friends. Visually inspected the lunch items and decided to have lunch (and not sandwiches).
12. Lunch was pretty good by office standards. Gorged slowly and steadily.
13. Went back to desk. Checked email. Still no email. Sigh.
14. Did some work. Read some more blogs. Surfed a bit more.
15. Finally removed a number of feeds from feed reader. Was very brutal with personal weblogs. They are my favourite kind of blogs but I simply don't have the time to read them.
16. Divided remaining feeds into 'important' and 'not important' categories. Resolved to read only important blogs in the morning. Rest of the blogs in the evening.
17. Checked inbox. Still no email. Thought of sending a follow-up email just in case recipient has forgotten about my email.
18. Compose this post.
19. Feeling very hungry. Decide to have dal chaval at Anand-Punjab dhaba.
20. Hopefully email will come tomorrow.

Sigh. Yawn. Good night.

Happy New 2006!

Had a ball of a time on New Year's partying with friends and friends of friends at Taj's Insomnia in Mumbai. Danced a lot, ate a lot, drank a little and remained awake till wee hours of the morning. Then caught a train back to Pune early morning on Sunday and slept for around 18 hours straight.

I came back to Pune early morning yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip home and I wish I could stay there for a few more days.

The bus ride to Ahmedabad was more comfortable than I had expected and wonder of wonders the bus arrived in Ahmedabad on schedule. This made the entire experience less painless and I arrived home hale and hearty. Saturday was spent lazing around at home. Saw TV for many hours (we have a brand new widescreen TV!).

Day before yesterday I met Prof. Asim Banerjee, one of my professors from DA-IICT. He has come to Pune to attend a conference being held at NIA (National Insurance Academy). It was nice meeting him after such a long time (more than an year I think).

Its the middle of the week and I am waiting for Friday to get here. I am going home for Christmas weekend and it will be a nice change of scene from work and Pune. No special plans though. Gunjan will be in Ahmedabad around the same time and I look forward to meeting him. I also plan to get Mom something nice as her (belated) birthday gift. But I have still not given much thought to what I should actually get her.
