My sparkling summer!!!
well, anybody who knows me will perhaps have strong objections if I use "gainfully employed" to describe this summer. But I do feel that that is not so far off the mark. Learnt a lot this summer. Seriously, guys....
Lets list the stuff i "learnt":
Tennis. Ok, so maybe I can't give Roddick (or for that matter, Sania Mirza) a run for his(her) money, but at least i learnt that to belt the balls back and forth at that pace across those courts is way tougher than it looks.
Swimming. Well, knew it earlier. Learnt that I am completely out of touch when I panted and wheezed across 45 metres racing a class 8 kid and only just finished ahead of him.
Course in first half of summer. errr, lets leave that alone.... oh ok, learnt what i did not want, though I (yay!!) cleared it...
Project in second half of summer. Loved it. Learnt a little, finally found something that sparked some interest in me. And no joke, this one, grrrrrr....
Life, hmmm...another thing tougher than it seems, learnt a fair bit.
And how easy it is to be misinterpreted :((
Blogging. Damn nice thing. Helps you release stuff once in a while when you really need to.
Learnt from where "honeymoon" originated.
Thats all that comes to mind rite now...will update in case of memory blink....
*************************
Had an absolute roar over stuff some of my friends got into. Ended happily in the end, well from my point of view, that is, not so much from theirs. But, it was hilarious. Will share it sometime when they are not nearby just waiting to move in for the kill.
*************************
England finally put it across Australia though could not catch the commentary on the site s! so kindly provided. Will make sure i do that next time.
Didnt know about the bomb blasts till just now. kgp does that to news. Really tragic.
*************************
Started to watch "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy". Stopped coz I found it a tad dragging; besides not having read the book, could not help the feeling that I was missing out on some underlying satire and the veiled sarcasms coz it would take some reflection to appreciate entirely. Anybody got a hard copy to lend me?? Sick of reading stuff on comps.
*************************
An appeal to all would-be entrepreneurs and restaurateurs. Please tap the untapped potential of the HUNGRY market in this place, and start a GOOD restaurant on campus, with reasonable prices. Not been back to cal in two weeks and feeling it.

hitchhikers--dude, advice from one who knows, DON'T read it if you intend to watch it. either finish watching, take a short break, then read. or ulto process. and what is it that you didn't want to do??? very curious...;-)
