Procastination...
...is an art you learn as a young high school student . Finishing 1000 word essays the night before the deadline was routine. Making-up entire lab reports was like bayen haath ka khel...no, that metaphor doesn't go...i'm a left hander!
Anyway, so i thought, oh well, i'll go to Uni and it'll change. I'll be more regular and do things before time. Alas, it doesn't *quite* work like that. Once a procastinator, always a procastinator :p!
Achha, now i need to go start work on a case study due in 4 hours...I had 2 weeks for it :p! And what am i doing right now? Yes, Procasti-frikking-nation!!

San Jose sucks!
I know I have said it enough times already on NSR, but one more time wouldn't hurt would it?
The other day we were trying to order some Chinese food. Believe it or not, NO restaurant offered delivery in our area even though those restaurants were barely 3 miles from our house!
WTF - back in DC I could order delivery from infinite chinese restaurants 5 miles away!
Another reason I want to head back.

Tra la la dumty..
My new bike is arriving this Friday and I can't wait!
Incidentally, this is the 4th vehicle in my life.. after 2 earlier scooters and a car later. My previous gaadis were donated, sold and gifted.. in that order.. and hence another brand new one!

From dot mac to flickr pro to picasa to flickr
To idiocy!!
I have been paying and cancelling my pro services at different websites.... I am more or less settled on Flickr pro though - neat features for 25 bucks a year -
- unlimited storage
- archival of high res photos
- collections and nested albums: exactly what I needed
!

It is great
when you can write posts on NSR while waiting at the airport.
Possibly pointless but great nonetheless :P
Another 3 hours before I board my final flight to IGI Delhi.

Shopping
I think i'm quickly turning into a raging shopaholic. I can't seem to NOT buy anything when i'm around the stores. It's like, clothes have acquired a magnetic field, which pulls me towards them. And the cash just slips out of my hands like sand.
Uff, anyway, I went shopping again yesterday and used my credit card for the first time ever!!! I'm the proud holder of a credit card...and i'm sooooo excitedddd!!!

India, here I come
The Ides of March has a special significance for me too. I'm flying tomorrow.. to India. Just for a week only mind you, but still.
You guys can still expect posts from me though. If I'm not near a computer will still try to post through my mobile.
It is great to see NSR in full swing again. Keep ranting people!
India, here I come. Man I'm excited!

8.45
The time for my morning class.10. The number of those classes so far this semester. 2. The times i've actually gotten the class!! I don't know what pleasure it gives to these darned university profs to schedule these dreaded 8.45 classes. I mean, do they not get the pleasure of sleeping till a human hour? Do they not enjoy going to class relaxed? Do they not have to get over hangovers in the morning?? Er....maybe not! But still...why why WHY do I have to attend these stupid morning classes???

Plans with Friends
Almost never turn out the way you want them to. Why does everyone always have to choose a different restaurant or bar they want to go to? Why is it so impossible to make one unanymous decision and just go there???
I hereby pledge, to never initiate planning another night out! Disaster!!

Give me some company!
Booked everything for a 5-day trip to Italy this Easter. I look all set for another 4-digit (in pounds) dent in my piggy bank yet ... NO COMPANY!
Does anyone out there reading this have a visa to go to Italy for Easter? If anyone does...speak out, you bum!

Training!
I cant believe I actually had fun in the training session today we had at work.
My previous experiences at such trainings was that I had to try hard not to doze off..!
Could also be that one of the facilitators was cute! ;-) and had great sense of humour, so as to make training on audit sound interesting! :P
Tomorrow, yet another day! :P i am not much of a fan of one of the facilitators tomorrow.. sigh!
Sadly, the seat given to me (yea, we're divided into 8 groups and each group is allotted specific table and all so that we don't go sit with our friends or in the last row and play solitaire! :P) is right in the front! :P Yea, allotted group 1! :-(

Radio Bocconi
Bocconi= my university
Radio= the thing songs come from. No, not the ipod. The old device which people used to listen to before the television. And example being, Radio Mirchi.
Anyways, i'm gonna be producing and broadcasting a show for the university radio station, and i'm really looking forward to that. Now, the task is to think of an idea. Damnit, have to actually use my brains here! I thought i'll just run with the mouth!

Living Alone
It's really fun. Its something i've always wanted to do. Its liberating. But why in the world did no one tell me what a royal pain in the a** it is to wash and dry clothes??

Yawn
I woke up at 7.30 to take my flat-mate's ( more on that later) dog down for a walk. She's holidaying in Barcelona and i'm walking dogs in rainy gloomy Milan. Could life suck more?

Jannat songs
Are quite impressive! Somehow Emran Hashmi seems to have a golden luck with music in his films. Listening to the album third time now, and must say its very, very catchy!

So I goofed up.
All this month I was under this impression that by starting on 8th in India, i would reach SFO on 9th afternoon. Turns out, SFO is so far behind in timezone that I will reach on 8th afternoon only!
GAHHHHHHHH!!! Could have spent 24 extra hours at home!!!!!!! :(
