Pleasantly Surprised

March-April is that time of the year in US, where there are no engaging sporting or other events in the US that appeal to me. However this year, I thought world cup will fill the void, but rather disappointingly it left a bigger one to the Indian Team.

Anyways, I reorganized my schedule and wanted to make this time very constructive and inventive in terms of career as well as personal life.

I started volunteering tasks at work, experimented several new technologies/projects, solved some critical security issues that would otherwise have gone unnoticed and tried to keep myself very active. (as you can see..havent written a blog for a while..)

Away from work, apart from regular gym and baddy, started taking tennis lessons and have been working on my game skills and fitness level a bit. After a few listless performance with the bat, I have found my batting form as well, especially the cover drives, and eagerly looking forward to our own cricket season here.

Global warming confined me at home for the past 3 weeks or so and as a result of which, have been experimenting with new xbox games and it took us a laborious 20+ attempts to clear a level from the game Black Hawk Down that was very very challenging. I was happy with the strength of our group and they showed a lot of patience to overcome the obstacle. The game not only taught me patience, but gave me a lesson on team management, strategies..etc and I really really enjoyed finishing the task.

Chatting/meeting with friends over a cup of coffee to discuss different cultures, traveling, occasional movies and even catching up with some episodes of planet earth(very surprisingly)..etc has kept me really busy for the past month or so that I am barely sleeping for more than 6 hrs a day.

I just hope this phantasmagorical trend persists and I continue to explore new avenues...
