Please Help

By

While I have been blogging for nearly 2 years now and that visitors (like you) are fairly low in number, I would still like to know who you are. Although I know one of my UA friend is a regular here (and yes, it is you Hari), I don't know who are the other frequent fliers.

If you choose to remain anonymous, that is also fine, but kindly leave a comment or two in the message box that is on the right side of the webpage. I am trying to get a feel for how often do you stop by.

The reason I am asking you to do this is because I need your help. No, it has nothing to do with donations or anything monetary, but here I am in my third month in Bangalore and I am absolutely bored. I need some suggestions to utilize my time efficiently and effectively. Please refrain from suggesting using the gym or joining a book club. These 2 are not my cuppa tea. My mind is 100% blank about extra-curricular activities and I need some 'external' help. One of my closest friends had suggested joining a Salsa club (which I am strongly leaning towards) and me being a sports buff, I was thinking about staying after work to play TT or volleyball. I also have tried a musical instrument (guitar, to be precise, way back in the stone ages). My passion used to fizzle out quite easily before but this time I am determined to put my time to good use.

Now, I really want to do some hatke stuff and here is where you come in the picture. Throw in some random stuff and I might just be pulled in that direction. And if I end up doing your thing, you make it to the Wall of Fame here. Just kidding. Nothing of that sort is going to happen (the Wall of Fame stuff, that is).

So now the ball is in your court and the clock has already started ticking. I need to make a decision fast and it needs to be a good one.

Please help!!!!!

Join a theatre club - Alliance Francaise in Bangalore is a good place to start or you could learn a new language – French, German… etc. Joining a sports club would be fun too.. you would get to play ur favorite sport and meet people too. Or if there are some service groups like ASHA where you could help out over weekends maybe....

Acting is something that I like a lot. That is a good suggestion Ramya. I was involved with Asha in the US for close to 2 years. I had a good time there. That is also a good thought.

Thanks again

Sunday Night Update

By
Watched the first presidential debate on friday night between John McCain and Barack Obama. Good timepass on a friday night, if you are into these things. I have been taking a keen interest in politics lately and it keeps the clock ticking for me after I reach home from work.  I am particularly annoyed and irritated at both these candidates on the Iraq war for always ignoring the fact that over 100,000 Iraqis have lost their lives. What wrong did they do? And there aren't too many news outlets that are willing to show the plight of (Iraqi) families who lost near and dear ones. That's obvious, isn't it? Barack Obama looks confident and ready moreso that John McCain to lead the United States for the next 4 years. Looking forward to the Joe Biden - Sarah Palin debate this coming thursday. Should be interesting to see Palin talk extempore without a teleprompter.  Back to some sunday night news here. For the first time in few years since I started following football, I felt bore...

Writer's Block

By
It's been six months since I put pen to paper, rather, fingers to keyboard, to put up a blog post. Talk about a writer's block. Highlights of the hiatus include; - Rivika and Riaan turning 10. That they are unrecognizable now compared to their 1st or even 5th birthday shows Kirti and I how fast they have really grown. Fine little pre-teens they've become, with their varied interests in sports and dance leading to a hopefully and potentially fulfilling childhood and beyond. - A splendid trip to Cancun (Mexico) to ring in the kids' milestone birthday. - The hottest Christmas in recent memory (celebrated in Mexico, that is). A trip to the ruins of Chichen-Itza (these folks knew what they were doing, mighty impressive I say), a stroll through the city center of Valladolid (one might say the place bears a striking resemblance to Panjim (Goa)), a thrill-seeking dive through a Cenote, copious amounts of watered-down unlimited alcohol at an all-inclusive resort, which in itself...
