I have been wasting time from morning and nothing productive has been done so far. Got mail from Raja, passing Prasanth’s message, that I have to contact Radha mama through email. I had forgotten that. Wrote a “Big” mail to Radha mama, and a mail to Raja and Mani. Hopefully, I will get reply by tomorrow. Its already 1.15 in the afternoon and I’ll leave by around 2.30. I have got a lot of planning to do. Maybe, I’ll go for swimming today, but before that, I may drop into Uxbridge library. I want some books on keeping fit.. My belly is again out of control.. I will have to train it. (sorry.. I wont diet.. I can exercise)

An evening and the night.
Yesterday, I was supposed to leave office by around 2.30 in the afternoon and ended up leaving at around 6 in the evening.. But it had its own plus points. I called up home, and spoke to Prasanth(My brother), and surprise.. There was Sundaram mama also there. I am like a “Aalekkanda Samudram”(*translation: literal:”like the ocean which sees a man” Meaning: “really excited”), when I speak to my Mama’s. I love them.. and they also love me. Had a lot of timepass with him over phone. Then spoke to Prasanth., we had some gossips to make.. but I was wondering at Prasanth.. Such a big heart.. Prasanth.. I’m proud of you.. I’m really happy to be your younger brother. Mama and Prasanth were trying to pull Manni’s(translation = “sister in law”) legs.. Here comes the kozhunthan(translation = “brother in law”)for manni’s rescue. It was fun in general. I really do miss the homely atmosphere here. I’m Waiting for the time, when I can drop everything and go home and cuddle up with my family..
After that Called up Praveen. He was as usual in his good self. What a friend I have. Its always better to have a couple of “friends” who care, than a lot of “friends”.
It seems that Praveen is also one of my family members(well, he is). Had a loong talk with him and it helped me unwind myself. He will be posting on my journal.. Geee.. I’m an Egoist fellow.. Comments welcome. Praveen had been to Thekkady, for a break and now back to his studies. He seems to be enjoying there. Well, I too am enjoying(well.. sort of) here.
In the evening I picked up Zubin and Girish and went for grocery shopping for them and then from there went to Zubin’s home. They are leaving to India by around 6 of Jan and will be back after around a month. They have bought enough choclates that, their luggage limit will be covered by choclates only, I my guess is right. At Zubins home, Rashmi and Zubin had a fight and that too over a Cup of tea.. They both had gone to their shells, keeping silent. Myself and Girish started a court session over dinner and made fun of both of them, and finally they smiled at each other!!! Good husband and Wife, they both are. After that went home, a bit of fountainhead and then sleep..
I’m back in office now. My earlies are on..
Lunch!!
Had been out with Seatal, Pat & Neesha to Uxbridge for lunch. First we went to a “Sex Shop”., We have our X-Mas party coming up this weekend and we have got a Secret Santa. One has to pick from a lot drawn with names of people in it, and has to buy a gift for the person you pick up. I had got Lia., our beautiful office asst., and I gave the responsibility to Neesha to get a good one., Neesha had suggested some panties(Really sexy ones), and I asked her to buy that for me. She had., Now Seatal wanted to buy something funny for Jackie, one of the directors, from the sex shop!!!.. We went inside and saw a collection of multifarious items for doing “Sex-citing” things. I wonder how Neesha can cool’ly come with us there.. Well we all went in and finally Seatal bought a leather whip(the sexual one) for Jackie.. This Christmas party is going to be something cool.. I’m waiting for it. Last time it was at Stratford upon Avon., the birthplace of William Shakesphere. We had a nice time there, and we smuggled out some time to visit places of interest related to Shakesphere there. This time the party is at Grantham, Lincolnshire. After the sex-shop, we went to Burger King, had lunch and Seatal drove us back. There was a lot of gossip on the way back.. but I enjoyed it. I will be leaving office in another couple of hours..gee.. I’m on early shifts now..
Called up praveen at Pathanamthitta.,
Called up praveen at Pathanamthitta., he had given me the tel no by mail today. He said tel. calls are not allowed in the insititute. He asked me to call at around night 11.00 pm. I feel guilty of having called him during the day time. I think I shouldnt feel guilty for that. Anyway, I’m looking forward to speak to him today. Had a mail from Sunadaram mama, he had described his escapade to Kerala and to Tirupathi.
Pat was giving me a
Pat was giving me a lecture on “AMWAY”., Thanks Pat., but I am not in that. No network marketing for me.. You say, that eventually, your shopping bill will be paid for, using the points you earn.. Well it dosent make sense to me in the simple way., How can a company sell you anything for nothing??? Ultimately all the questions comes to this basic question. Vaishali never forced me., she’s an Amway member., so even if I join out of desperation, I will join under her.. Thanks anyway.
Sushil has mailed., He has
Sushil has mailed., He has joined his dream job., now working for Siemens, Swtizerland.. I’m happy.. He will be coming down during December to London. He’s brilliant., and moreover he’s talented too. Wonder, why I dont think about my career much??!! Maybe, I am not a career person.. just a common man.. or is it that I dont want change., or I am forcing myself to remain a common man??!! only time will tell.
The weekend that was!!
This is a weekend. On sunday morning, had a chat with Pradeep., Interesting thing that I noticed with me was that, I tend to overdo everything. an old habit?!! Pradeep is doing well. Had called up Anandan mama over the weekend., it was nice speaking to him and maami. They are still the same, loving, caring pesonalities.. I wonder, whether we (the new generation) will grow up and have their qualities… At noon, Zubin and Rashmi wanted to go for shopping., I asked Girish also to come, we all were going for the shopping. I told them that all will go to my office(I had some work also to attend.. The Restore is running..) and on the way we will see Zubin’s and Girish’s work place also. Off we went, on the way was thier office and from there went to our office. Then we had a good walk by the canalside near our office. The Swans and signettes were there to greet us. But when we were walking, one man was feeding the signettes(they have grown up to the size of swans., but are still light brown coloured) and suddenlty caught hold of one signette and carefully “packed” it and took it with him. He said the signette had a broken wing and needed treatment. By the way he packed the signette, I was a bit confident, that he has to be a vetenerian, he packed the signette in a special packet, with the signettes head out. We will never know, whether that signette will be seen again or will make a good “Tandoori Swan”. I’m glad, I’m veggie. From our office(I finished my work), we went to Uxbridge and then home.
A bit of mischief in the evening. Went on to keralachat, signed on as mini, and saw all the men wanting to chat up.. Had a chat with Vivak., I was a programmer based in Watford in UK, and he said, he was at California, US. People as so eager to get out the email address., As usual, ladies have thier own reservations :-)., but they gave the email address. Then I logged out and logged in as Shyamala, this time a young worker, who works for a shipping company in Cochin, Kerala, then after some time logged on as “Shikari Shambhu” and did some timepass. What a funny way to waste time. Well I succeeded in that in short. Girish had a suggestion, that I should log on as “Silk Smitha”., We all(Zubin, Rashmi, me & Girish) we all had a real fun time.
A joke..
Sunday morning!
Yah. Last night, we had a lot of fun., We drove to Superbowl, London, Played around three games of pool, first, Zubin and Girish, then Girish and me and then zubin and me. Poor rashmi, she’s in wheelchair, and that restricts her from many activities. Then on we went to bowling., and Girish was good in Bowling.. Well I did well in the first game, then I started watching “WWF” which was also on the TV, and lost my second game terribly and the third game was a bit close.. OK. I lost.. but I enjoyed it.. We came back at around 2 am today.
