Three weekends ago, the setting was Marie's farm at Somanahalli and it was a beautiful drive entirely moonlit and the serenity of the place was just awesome. We sat watching the moon rise and sink and we sat in the car sipping. It was mindbogglingly beautiful. On the way back i sat on the open window of the car and swooshed my way back through the wind. Of course there was a dinner date and what not so the weekend was perfecto.
The next was the 2nd year anniversary weekend. This was again dinner and drive to Guhantara and the weekend there was noisy with the crazy crowd, but thankfully we had the chooice of staying in the quieter quarters. Again a really nice weekend.
This weekend it was a lot of dance and the beer fest on Sunday, the last two years I was anchoring a few of the shows. 2007 I was at the Yahoo console and last year it was Kingfisher. I have had too many Kingfisher shwos in the last year thanks to Phase One and i have anchored all their events. This time i decided to step away and get some fun out of the fest, so we just went to hear them play and Prabhu boy went for the beer of course. We started out planning a whole huge gang and ended up being ditched.So went there and bumped into half of Bangalore and hung around to the finish. Total awesome time. This weeked more dance to go and next week entirely will be taken up by the BIG FAT Wedding of the Crasta's.
Looking forward to all the madness and waiting to jiggy on with Abhi, we're finally compeering together for the sangeet and i'm super thrilled all the way. :)

Its a new feeling!
Something i have never done before, taken a break, a nice looong break.I feel like a free bird. I have time to plan and execute in leisure.
The last i had a useless, do nothing break was the week i spent in Goa in 2006. After that i have travelled all over the place and even across countries Coorg four times, each one more hectic and strenuous than the other, Goa seven times all on work trips and events, Chennai a couple of times, work again. Alleppy and a lot of Kerala for home visits and weddings, Pondy for fun. Wayanad the surprise for Valentines, was relaxed and so was Angsana and Guhantara. Singapore and Dubai I was busy running all over the place being the busy body tourist who can't get enough of everything. Chikmaglur was the photography expedition, Pune and three times Delhi was again fun but i was working from the offices there. Kabini was nice and Nagarhole was even better. Mysore was just lazy. Hyderabad again was wedding, so didn't have time to sight see. But all of them were just two and three day visits so never had enough time to wind down entirely.
So now i am planning Hyderabad and more, travel beckons. The honeymoon is too far away so I'm looking at other destinations in the near future. :)
Some of my travel albums:
Dubai and Abbey
Dubai Travails
The latest of Coorg
Singapore, the first chapter
More of Singa
The Zoo at Singa

Goodbye!
Why have I not written in such a looong time? Tsck, ponder, think. Is it one of the blocks again? One of the many writing blocks. Time is not a factor, I have written nonstop in times that have been beyond packed. Life is currently contorted, confounded and convoluted. I am quintessentially intellectualizing and that is leading to the ever normal choices versus decisions confusion.
Its bye bye to CoreObjects in a couple of days. Two years have blown by and it feels like it was just yesterday. I am all jumbled feelings now. I quit and I am relieved I did for multiple reasons. But something feels shut down, over, end of an era kinds. I am going to finally get the break I have been waiting for and now I am unsure of what will happen and if I will really enjoy this break. Its goodbye on Friday and let’s see what happens after…

Thirsting for Time!
I need time, to sort it all out, to fathom the implications and smooth out the creases. I am in absolute denial now. Everything has run unexpectedly amok and i am not sure how i will sort it.
But there it is after the tornado hits you pick up the pieces and i am now looking for the pieces.

Waiting...
Uncertainty and ambiguity are strange things, they keep you guessing and in the last few weeks it’s not been pleasant. I hate waiting for something to happen unless it’s a surprise that will put me in the seventh heaven.
There are times when you wonder if life is serious enough to be taken seriously. If the things around you are worth your smile and laughter is worth sacrificing for anyone or anything. What happened is over, what is going to happen, no control. But whatever is happening what about that, what if it is keeping you on the edge of a five storied building looking down and anticipating the repercussions.
I am clueless and confused; a very normal state for me to be in, not at all surprising. I was told that I am very vulnerable to things and people around me. I understand the implications of that statement. I have that bad feeling in the stomach, the gut feel of things going terribly wrong, spinning out of control. I can’t interfere, I cannot do anything to bring it back and all I can do is wait. For everything to straighten out and for life to feel like it’s worth living again.

I lie in wait for the next blow!
There is a constant drone in the background. My desk is so full of pinned up stuff and everything seems to be caving in. The noise in the background is jarring; it’s the bloody vacuum cleaner. I am waiting for a phone call. I just got some interesting news and I have the whole thought flow already in running.
It’s been an interesting two weeks. Life has her way of making sure you are grounded in such harsh reality that you do not even have the time to be in denial. I am not sure anymore if the way I am feeling is justified. Crossroads, yet again. The whole cycle of madness is repetitive.
You are relieved one moment by the thought that you have tackled one lot; the other is waiting with worse in store. I am waiting for the next one now; every day is like a new thunderbolt waiting to strike. I have no idea when I can let myself recline without fretting. It gets so hard after a while to wait for the next blow.
