2 years is a long time

Cant believe I have been such a horrible procastinator.Have'nt blogged in over 2 years now.Makes me realize how time flies and how lazy I can get.A strict no-no.Will try to be more regular here on.
As I write, I realize it is the Memorial day weekend and that's the reason I am back to blogging ;-)

With sky high gas prices and an equally worse air fare this season, I figured might stay at home .My enthusiasm has dampened not so much with the gas price/air fare but the amount of planning that you have to do before you even think about taking a trip.Can get frustrating at times especially when you do all the planning and get yelled at for missing a tiny detail.I guess I am being a bit silly by bringing it up, but hey, it matters. Besides,the truth is I am not a great planner not so much that I cannot but more so that I dont want to. I am the kind that likes to get lost and discover new things on the spur of the moment.After all, what fun there is to experience the "ordinary/boring " routine?

So, yeah, much as I love travelling, planning is something that is not my forte.I have so many things that I want to write about now-but I am going to put a cork on all that as its dinner time already and I cant think if I am hungry .So long....

Wanna get rich!!

Ahh! Who doe'snt want to? The last few months I have been in an extreme state of dissatisfaction and paranoia - thanks to a series of things that transpired at work. Frustrated, I started to explore investment options that could get me rich faster. I started off by looking at opening an franchise, but after repeated interactions with friends and exchanging ideas with peers at work, I figured that the specific franchise I was chasing after might not be a fast track after all!

So, what is? I have just started this quest and hope to find a "way" that works for me. Im so obsessed that (based on advice from a friend ;-) ) I have set a 15 day goal to figure out setting up a Food Reatail business in its entirety.Any thoughts from people who have been there and done that ?

Im sure there are more ways..and as I start evaluating them -Im sure I would have a lot to ramble about!

Im back again

Wow! It feels so nice to be back.My hopes are builiding up - now that I have logged in :-)Im not that forgetful as I thought I was .

When I was back in grad school I always used to ask my friends who were working, about what they would do once they get back from work. They did come up with some answers:The most common ones ,I would say, were: Chat over IM, Phone chats,Browsing,Watching T.V,Cooking...
Good ones, I would say, but until last month I found myself doing none of these ..

I was fed up of browsing thanks to my deadly long hours at work and staring at the computer for a long time. TV was ruled out for the same reason.Anything that required me to strain my eyes was a strict no-no, but I have come to realize that some of the most common things that end up keeping u busy -require that.

I am still trying to find alternate ways which would involve more phycial activity than static indulgence. My quest has not ended.Im hoping to find something really interesting that would keep me occupied.

If anyone manages to read this blog, please do feel free to suggest alternate means for spending time after you get back from work apart from the ones I listed above...

Im in finally

Phew!!! My first try at blogging. I was thinking what will I write, but then figured I would have something after all the trouble I went through logging in. Its quite a process...I would say.
Choosing your user name,your password, your title, your link and now I dont even remember what I keyed in for each of this. Im hoping I would be able to log back in again atleast to see how my blog is faring,but I have stopped hoping that anymore considering how much my memory has deceived me over the past few days at work.

I am a Software Developer and I was trying to build an application package the other day at work.I was using UNIX and all of a sudden I get a message:Please type your new password. I did get a few reminders over the past week stating that my password was about to expire, which I "forgetfully" forgot. I typed something which didnt match the "Alteast 6 characters with numbers" criteria and I had to type something again. This time I typed something longer , but something close to my previous password.So, I typed something again with CAPS on and it accepted, but when I was asked to retype that was when I figured:I didnt remember the RIGHT one.None of the ones I had typed earlier worked and I got locked out.

Well, apparently I was frustrated -with myself , with UNIX , with myself again for a host of thigns I had missed. It was an interesting day at work and a very interesting message to carry home : I AM TERRIBLY FORGETFUL. I cant remember being so forgetful ever in my life.
I always used to boast of an incredibly HIGH memory.Not sure where that had gone...Im still
bewildered and trying to account for that!!!!
