Good times , but 2 Many Rough Pts

Dear Blog,

How are you? I hope all is well. You are probably wondering why I am writing after so long. I have been so busy it is not even funny. My vacation was the vacation from heaven. I did more things in one week at home than I ever have in years. So what did I do in my one week at home? Well to start off, I got this brand new Dell laptop from work that is amazing slick. It was good timing because I started classes again too at NJIT and needed something that ran powerful (though right now dialup is pretty painful, I swear). I went down to Florida to see my best friend that I had not seen in ages. I had such a blast of a time. My friend, Chirag, and I went to Key Largo, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Daytona Beach, and more. Florida is absolutely a great place to visit…But remember to take the suntan lotion as the sun is always piping hot. Leaving is always the hardest part of any trip, but what can you do …just always hope that you can create more happy occasions. Correct!!!!??? So I spent one week at home just relaxing and rejuvenating much needed. I needed the glow that I once had always smiling and no tension in mind. But lately that has been hard to do since the only thing I have time for is sleep and a shower. Sad isn’t ??? So I enjoyed bonding with my parents and my little brother. Sometimes it is really nice to go back to your family and close friends. It makes you reflect on how many special things are going on and how everything that is important should be valued.

So during the week , the only thing I did was sleep , eat good food, shop a bit , and caught up with the environment. The second weekend at home, my parents , my brother, and I went off to the Hare Krishna temple in Moundsville, West Virginia. This place is definetly a place where you spiritually bond with GOD and your family. The place is on top of a hill (or was it a mountain, do not remember) and the scenery is breathtaking . Pictures are up for you guys to see. So finally get back after the spiritual weekend. And guess what I turned vegetarian. I have no regrets. I actually feel a lot lighter than I ever have. Sometimes it is hard to find veggies dishes at restaurants but it is okay this is something that I had wanted to do in ages and since my dad turned vegetarian , that gave me the motivation to just do it and I am really glad I did. The funny part of all this is that people have bets on how long will I be veggie…lol…I could not stop cracking up…so that Monday evening, I went to see my friends in New York City especially since my friend Ira is going to school at NYU now. It was good to see some of my gang members from college. This group of buddies included Amit Sharma, Ira Sharma, Bhavanjot ‘Champi’ Singh , his girlfriend Amal, and myself. Good fun at a Thai restaurant.
Good to also go into NYC where there so much liveliness. So that same day was a Raksha Bandhan which is an event where the sister ties a string on the brother right hand and praying that he has a good life. I am glad that I was home for that seriously.

So I the next day I am on a flight back to the UK, Horsham to be exact. It was a good to be back so I get back in the groove of things. But the amount of chaos that was at the office is unbelievable. All the structures that I have ever been used to had to change for Product Test. This week was the worst. I had lost my temper at my team lead especially because he kept throwing things my way. What the hell, because I am the analyst, you do not just throw stuff my way . It gets to be pretty overwhelming when so many things are going on all at once. I totally understand managements point of view but they forget that they have humans working for them not robots. I keep my patience level up. But is it not sad that work is always priority. What about families or school , or anything else??? I wish I was with a golden spoon or I was a genius where I did not have to worry about money , I would know that my intelligence would get me everywhere. We can always hope right that something overnight can make me a genius. Did I mention that I have to work every weekend from now until November 1, 2004 and come home either September or October? I hate to be told what to do. It feels like there is always some constraints. Aghhhhh…

When I came back from the USA, my buddy, Jesenia, was also here in the UK. This girl is sweet but drives me nuts, she thinks she has the answer to everything. And now that she is my roommate. Jeezzz…the other way I waited an hour and a half for her to get ready. What the hell, when you have to be somewhere you should move it a little and not always be so slow? I can not stand people who seem to take things so lightly. Whatever , I will figure something out.

So last night my friend Jackie, Jesenia, and I went to a African restaurant. Good food. I definetly recommend to try it once. I had the Calabash Speciality (Calabash happens to also be the name of the restaurant). This dish consisted of black eyes beans , plaintains, and sweet potato, which I was craving. Desert was the best part of the restaurant. It was rather buttery and sweet, but it was still. Did I mention that I am trying to stay away from sweet??? Lol

Till next time.
