At the Crossroads

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now. --Joan Baez When men and women agree,it is only in their conclusions;their reasons are always different

Unsettling effects


Settled? A million people have asked me this question since i got here. For all those intertested to know what state i am in, here is what i got to say. My days are cold and busy and nights are nightmarish and busy again. My roomie would better fit the job of a support project lead. She comes up with am impeccably framed schedule at the beginning of every week. Task assigned to me for the week - cooking, cleaning, emptying trash, vaccuming, washing. Unassigned tasks- making my bed, washing my clothes, and everything else :(

Alright,so i am finally settled..

I recently attended a GSB meet and it was an overwhelming experience. I absolutely love the work atmosphere here for i get to learn stuff that i had always wanted to learn.

Looking forward to a great weekend..

P.S - The walls echo when i cough, cos the rooms are bare, completely bare :(

Week #2

About a week back i was contemplating giving up blogging for reasons very personal, but decided against it and here i am with another post.

Its been so good so far. Tolerating the intolerable, bearing the unbearable and putting up with stuff i wont put up with even in the most terrible situations, i have lived 2 weeks of my life in another country. It is undeniably the most beautiful place i have seen so far (shows how less i have travelled). The 30 hour travel was the worst i have ever had. Sitting in crammed spaces sipping diet coke and watching some meaningless cinema, life cant get worse? :( Out here you need pennies to make a call and by god's disgrace i had none. Was hoping for someone to show up and pick me. Being stranded on the road was the last thing i would have asked for. Fortunately i had someone waiting to pick me up, thank god. Thanks to my lovely fren who visited me and helped me cope with my homesickness..

This place houses 16,000 lakes.. i got to see one last week. Hired a cab and went around the place.. Then to Mall of America.. I was overwhelmed to see such a mix of people. Work is fun too. It is beginning to get cold and i am all ready to confront it :)

Missing home big time :(
