Long time no see huh..Well it has to do with the fact that I am plain lazy :). Since the last time i posted, a lot has happened. DC won IPL 2, Fed won the French and Wimbledon, my bro had a baby girl and I went to India only to be sent back to the US after 3 months. Well it was my choice to come back, but somehow you always pine for home when you are away. Can't help it :). I wanted to continue writing but somehow laziness got the better of me. Anyway here I am. I worked in Chennai for 3 months and the experience was bitter/sweet. Bitter because I had to stay away from Hyd and live in a hostel which is 60 kms. from human civilization. Sweet because I got to work with some nice people and learn new things.
I had a lot of fun with friends in Pune and Hyd of course. Ate at all my fave places and spent quality time with friends. Now its back to the US, CA this time. At least I have a new place and new friends to look forward to. It has been nice so far and I am living alone. It doesn't feel weird at all and I am enjoying the loneliness. I have started looking for a roomie though, mainly to save some more money :). After all there are things to be done (read buying an apartment). So, a few more dollars saved every month wont hurt me at all.
Coming to the sports highights, I think watching Fed win Wimbledon and French was a great experience. I was praying so hard for him to not goof up the French, especially since Nadal wasn't around. Thankfully he didn't and also the Wimbledon final was a lot closer than expected. A-Rod played really well, but in the end fell a bit short. Felt really bad for him and I hope he does win Wimbledon one day (probably after Fed retires :P). Fed lost the US open, but I guess Del P really deserved to win. His forehand was awesome and I guess Fed underestimated him a bit. I do hope Fed wins the year end championships and starts next year on a good note. Even though I am not missing Nadal very much, its just not the same without him and Fed in the finals. I hope he does well next year :).
Cricket has been ok, not much to follow. I dont like T20 and one days a lot and there is hardly any test cricket going on. Srilanka kicked India's a** in the first test and hopefully Gambhir and co will save the test. Sachin played a blinder in Hyd and I didn't even follow it online :(. The guy is a genius, but you dont need me to tell you that :). EPL has been going ok with Man Utd not playing very well. Both the matches I saw against L'pool and Chelsea were losses for our team. I have decided not to watch any live games and just keep following the scorelines.
Coming to movies, I haven't seen a lot many good movies lately but Shawshank was really good. I am glad I finally watched it. Started reading Twilight yesterday, its not bad. Planning to finish reading the first two books and then watch New Moon, it releases tomorrow. Some good movies coming up and the one everybody is waiting for is Avatar. I hope James Cameron lives up to his tag of "the king of the world". After all he has taken 12 long years to come up with his next movie. Work is going ok, I just need to start getting the hang of technical stuff. Hope I do that really soon. Just one more day for the weekend, I am planning to do some reading and watching movies. Later.
