Cold, Samosa again, fortunate...

1. God...what on earth is happening here in nagpur..with the temperatures sinking, its almost as if it is a hill-station...! still, i'm enjoying this..with my fav tea..
2. After so many days, or even months, i'd gone to Preity cornor... how can he make those samosa taste exactly like they used to even 5 years ago?? and with the shivering cold, that 'tarri' and hot samosa were the best combination one could ask for..thanx Swap, for making me come there in such a short notice.. :)
3. Sometimes i feel my students are very fortunate..(not because 'I' teach them...:)).. never in my graduation days i remember we were asked to give a feedback on our teachers.. and today after my feedback, i'm glad i am a lecturer..!

Flights, Samosa, together...

1. I hate Railway Stations! The crowd, that environment, that pungent smell...yuck!! But courtsey Swap i had to go to station twice...and wait there for almost an hour! I just hope the airlines reduce their fare further...especially for the flights to pune..and introduce some more flights to Pune..
2. I had gone to my graduation college after so many years.. so many things have changed.. but the worst change is that the canteen contract has been given to some different person from this academic year it seems.. oh how i miss my college's 'Samosa"...the most famous college-canteen samosas...
3. Finally Aai made that 'mix veg'...yes, that too because Baba has come! Still, it was fun being together with everybody over the dinner after so many days..

Waking up early, Short selling, Updating...

1. From the past two days, nagpur has ben experiencing a wave of cold, which is generally experienced at this time every year! And i have to wake up so early to go for work, that i get to see such a wonderful sight of raw sunrays falling on everything, that i just hate myself for sleeping till its so late... it is making me realize the other benefit of waking up early! Oh i just love this season!!
2. Thank god i pulled out my funds well in time from the stock markets! Though i feel it's the right time to invest again, with fresh stocks and IPOs, i think i should wait for the markets to settle down a bit. Plus, now i am thinking to try short-selling for a while, rather than being a usual safe investor. Yeah, SBI IPO is on my waiting list though for long term investment, especially after i missed out Rel Petro. Oh wait, do i have enough money left??!?!
3. Updated my resume' after a long time. I am happy to add to it that i am a Six Sigma Yellow belt certified professional.. Now i'll have to plan for the green belt very fast... for that also i'll need money.. hmm, i think i should go for short selling! Somebody please tell me more about good scrips...

Sunday morning, afternoon, night..

1. It was a lovely sunday morning.. coz i didn't see it! :) as planned, i slept for so long, that Aai didn't talk to me for a while after waking up! I selpt on sunday for so long after really long time! Yes, it was a much needed 'sunday' sleep!
2. Saw this pathetic movie 'Welcome'! Movie was very bad, but i enjoyed my time with Aai and Baba.. it was a movie which we saw together in a theatre after so many months! Though the movie was on me, i made it sure that Aai eats the corn, popcorn, and everything i bought, courtesy Baba! :)
3. Now i am preparing myself for the monday, and load of work which is pending.. i hate sunday nights..

1. Watched MTV Roadies auditions today... it was such a refreshing thing to watch after so many days..especially after missing the first auditions of American Idol..! These two shows really make life hell for those people.. But the award goes to Raghu.. no matter how sarcastic he is, i just love his personality!
2. Ragga again ditched me! Even after calling all by himself and promising to come for a coffee, he didn't come! As usual! I really don't understand why do i even trust him on this front.
3. Now that Shrirang is out of town, i will get to sleep in my room on my bed after such a long time.. just the plan of sleeping early and getting up late tomorrow is making me feel sleepy! Thank god the bitter cold has come again!

1. Attended a seminar on MIHAN.. It was a wonderful seminar, with great speakers, with full information on MADC and the new projects under this first legal SEZ of the country! It was exciting to know how it will change the face of nagpur and so many jobs will be created. I hate this feeling that i'll have to leave this wonderful place in some time... :(
2. I got so tired after driving for such a long time..though the time was not really the problem, the roads, to my surprise were also very nice..but it was the heavy traffic which made me feel more tired. PCE is really very far from my place!
3. I'm once again just planing to go to Pune. And don't know when that plan would be executed. Though i've asked Andy to communicate his schedule to me as soon as possible, i'm very sure that he'll ask me to squeze the trip at the eleventh hour!! I would love to do that also.. after all, it'll be a trip to Pune!

Rest, Breakfast in the evening, Calls' season..

1. Got a much needed rest.. It was a holiday in college because of the foundation day, so just had a nice time at home, sleeping, eating (yes, i did that!!!) and watching "Taare zameen par" with Aai (and watching her cry!!!!!) on the CD (with good print) which Shrirang bought. Couldn't ask for anything more on a working day otherwise!
2. In the evening went to this award function for journalists, organized by the society to which our college belongs to. After the function was over, somebody said "now let's go and have breakfast".. what? breakfast?? in the evening?? it should've been 'snacks'.. yes, but no,how could me and my fellow colleagues leave this chance of being sarcastic and then laugh over it for sometime??!!! (i've really got this great company at work...we share this habit!!) so we did that and came back without having breakfast!
3. So many people got GD PI calls!!! This is what Andy said, and i couldn't help but agree with him.. at least 4 people whom i know got calls from Andy's college..one of them being my student.. I'm really happy that Ashish and Swap (finally) got this call... way to go people..now just convert it!

Bad start, no Til Guul, Happy ending..

1. It was a really very bad start of the day for me today. Was not feeling well, but still went to college, which turned out to be a very bad idea. The situation didn't get better and had to come back by 1 o'clock, and that too a colleague of mine had to drop me home! :( Just slept the whole day and did nothing! And now came to know that i cannot afford to miss tomorrow's college because of some important function.. i shouldn't have gone today itself!
2. Couldn't enjoy "Makar - sankranti" because of this damn health. Not that i would have induled myself in kite fying, but i love to just watch people doing it, and going with Aai to different places to have "Til - Guul".
3. Got to know that a friend of mine is getting married soon...Wow, i thought, everybody is getting married it seems! Though felt very nice to hear about it since he was having some problem convincing his parents. But feeling bad at the same time that wont be able to go for his marriage! I just wish will be able to meet him before that!

College exams, distinct discussion, not again...

1. We finally finished with the internals in the college today. Last week was the most busiest week because of the exams... but while returning to home after college, i sort of missed being in the process of internal exams.. that tension, excitement, sharing notes, trying to ask something to your friend without being noticed by the invigilator, discussing the paper even after deciding not to do that.. oh i sometime miss being a college student..
2. I met a friend after a long gap. And to my surprise, he's actually reduced a lot..!The best part was, he also had to finally give me a compliment on how great i look after the reduced weight.. :)). But we ended up discussing inflation, mutual funds, money market, Nano, probable PI questions(for his GD/PI calls), for over 2 hours and 2 cups of coffee each..! Still, it was fun discussing something we've never discussed with each other!
3. I again had a fight with Aai over the menu for dinner. "I just cannot tolerate 'Baigan ka bharta' anymore"... But i had to eat the same, because, "it's just for both of us radhika, don't make me do anything new just for 2 of us..!" Oh i just hate this phase when Shrirang and dad are not home for dinner..
