A blank page stares at me as I begin to write this post. Ideas race through my head. Have just completed going through the blogs I read regularly. A lot of them have very long posts. Posts you get lost in. Posts you think about after having read them. Thanks guys for writing so wonderfully! It is a pleasure to read your blogs :)
Unlike you, I haven't read an amazing book, cleaned my room after ages, written a new story, seen two movies in a day, been on a great college trip, enjoyed a college festival, wondered on whether or not to disclose my feelings to the one I love, seen a tennis match, written poetry, cleaned my bike or enjoyed Mumbai.(the list is not comprehensive) But life is definitely not dull!
Inspired by Amon, I also visited Qutub Minar eventually. I see the monument almost every time I go somewhere other than office. However, I had never visited it. Inspired by Srini and Shub, I took my camera along and tried my hand at photography. The pics have just come in. No match to the ones they take and definitely not worth posting, but a decent effort nonetheless! The day I visited QM I also went boating to Purana Qila and enjoyed riding the Delhi Metro. Lived in this city all my life but I felt like a tourist that day. A guided tour of Delhi definitely on the list of Things to Do. Have heard of people who organize walks in places like Mehrauli and Chandni Chowk. Must try that out and will hopefully have company for that.
Attended a four day residential training meant to enhance research skills. Had a great time.The training was very interesting and all of us together had a lot of fun. Two women from the Taiwanese office of The Firm had joined us for the training. Hilarious incidents happened as the guys alternated between flirting with the beautiful dames and (mis)informing them about everything Indian. Hindi songs were played and translated, even 'bheege honth tere'. Their comment on hearing that one, "Indians are very bold!" Hehe.
The pub in the resort we were staying in was booked for us on one night. The DJ was...umm..not suited to the crowd. But when there are so many crazy souls, one ends up having fun. One of the challenges in the training was working in teams. Our work is usually done independently but the case studies in the training had to be attempted in teams. Trying to achieve something with such diverse people is quite tough. The first team I was part of had couple of members who needed to be repeatedly told, "Get to the point". Nearly pulled my hair out. The second team had hostilities that were not even hidden under the veil of politeness. I have no clue how we survived without any murders and managed to complete our work! Also, I personally think that the output was the best amongst all the teams :D
Yesterday we almost coerced a senior into treating all of us. Imagine eleven people let lose in a food court. I had, amongst other things, chocolate excess with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Bliss.
On a serious note, the next week brings a mini tornado in my life. Very major decisions have been made and its time to live them. More on it next time. Meanwhile, pray for me :)
