some notes for my future self....
Dec 19, 07: Company’s Christmas party; won third prize in a quiz competition with only three participants…
Dec 30, 07: Visited Salt Lake City, UT. Resolved to learn to ski…
Dec 31, 07: Slept like a log while the world was enjoying the evening…
Feb xx, 08: Ajay realized that he has left his car keys in the Hertz rental car that he had already returned. We went to the store to find that the store is closed. Ajay called the emergency number only to be presented with some silly alternatives. We then tried to open the door using some of our spare keys but in vain. Finally, just for the heck of it, Ajay tried to open the door of the car and surprisingly it opened…
Feb xx, 08: Went to Mohegan Suns and Hartford in CT. Had one of the best Indian dinners at ‘Kashmir’ restaurant…
Mar xx, 08: Accepted the harsh truth that I am weird. Some examples:
- I can drink coffee/tea all day long except in the morning.
- My taste-buds are underdeveloped (an awesome steak is simply tasty; a terrible soup is just another not-so-good one).
- Inasmuch as I am an outgoing person when in a group, I am extremely lazy and lethargic with absolutely no drive to do anything when alone.
- I can’t smoke. I have tried my best to at least be able to smoke even a cigarette a week but I simply can’t. Although there is a cool factor associated with it, I think it’s not my cup of tea and thus won’t even bother trying it either. It will remain a mystery how one gets hooked to this, let alone starting it in the first place.
- I am hardly emotional, or that's what I think. I do care, empathize and sympathize, but I am more loyal to my brain than to my heart. To give and example (not something I should be proud of), I didn't shed a single drop of tear when my old grandma passed away in front of me. Although I felt bad, I knew it was imminent.
Mar xx, 08: I became a millionaire… in my dreams ;)
Apr 30, 08: contemplated on going back to India, citing lack of the type of social circle and close friends I wish.
To be continued…
