I know I’ve not posted in here directly for quite sometime. I have been busy programming in Django and enjoying it too. I’ve learnt a lot and also gotten some popularity.

I’ve been writing as well. In March alone, I’ve written about 10 articles in jjude.com. I plan to continue to write on Django, C# and bit of general musings.

Wheezing still haunts; in fact these days it is more. I am still searching what can be done. Yoga didn’t help. Last year I was very active with jogging and swimming. Now I am not able to do anything and that hurts me a lot. Hopefully I will get better.

Sister is on a journey to cross 50 airports! She is now in Orlando preparing for a presentation in IBM.

Okay that is it for now. I will keep it coming.

It has been a good weekend.
: I wrote two articles in the main page – one technical and another general one
: I wrote one more style for FOW – a flash one
: Visited a colleague’s house which was pending for long
: Most of all, Venkat (a friend from Belgium) called up. We are in touch after about 3 years. So that is a good thing.

So it went good so far. 🙂 (this one is for you Venkat)

My parents came to Bangalore this weekend. They were here for about 6 months and then went home (Tuticorin). They will be again here until May.

Saturday was a boring one as Sister & BIL went to work and I didn’t go for swim. However in the evening we went to the new shopping center ‘Oasis’. Somehow I didn’t like the center much.

Today we went to ‘Herbs & Spice’ for lunch. All of us enjoyed the food. It was pretty good family time.

Then I took the family to my office. This is the first time I take my parents to my workplace. I could see a sense of satisfaction in my dad’s face and that gave me a very good feeling.

Then we went to ‘Cosmos’ shopping center. I bought a handbag for my sister. Then we went to food court on the top floor and had coffee.

Overall it was a good family time.

its one of those days in which i totally feel like a crap and life doesnt make any sense or meaning; why should i care about others? why shuld i help others when all i get back is backstabbing, backbiting and/or plain being ignored? i wish i culd go to the beach lie down and just empty my heart; and enjoy the stars blinking … pity that bangalore doesn’t have any beaches…

For those who don’t know, twitter is a mini-blogging service; each post is not more than 150 chars. So it is a quick exchange of answers to ‘what are you doing’. It is possible to post using sms. There are desktop apps as well.

I am on Twitter. You will see a Twitter badge beneath search form.

Also I’ve configured to consolidate Twitter for each day and post here automatically. I need to test that; hope it works.

Yoga classes are going fantastic. I enjoy waking up early and doing some physical activity. Also this tutor is a pleasure to learn from. First of all, he does all of these stretches with much ease (though he has a bit of tummy!); second he is very patient to teach you until you learn properly. He doesn’t yell at you or pass hurting remarks (in fact no remarks at all). Most of the days we learn at least one stretch more (he mixes and matches).

Office days pretty fast as I get involved in one meeting to the other; or one initiative or the other.

And by about 4.30 in the evening, I start from office. Depending on the traffic, I am on the pool sometime near 5. Another hour of a relaxing and a pleasant time. Most often times, I am the only one in the pool; but sometimes one or two join as well. Having learnt the breast-stroke, I am so much into it – it is not as straining as other strokes. I can go on swimming for hours. Like the last time that I went to the pool (its about a week as it is closed for maintenance) I did about 30 times. I felt so good after that!

Weekends, also goes on ok. I am planning to go for photography at least once a week. Last week, I took a walk and took some photos near Marathahalli. I haven’t yet posted it. Soon I should be doing that.

It has been busy days – I need more hours!

I start my day at 4.45(!). I go to Yoga by 5.30. Yes, I’ve joined a Yoga class and I’ve been going for 3 days. So it is too early to say about the results; but I’m enjoying it. Yoga is for an hour. Come back and get ready for office.

Not to mention about office; at it is all more work every day. I am already handling a team of about 20 members; my boss wants me to handle one more project, which comes with a team of about 12 members. I’ve told my boss it is not possible unless some tasks from my list are removed.

At 4.30 in the evening, it is time for some relaxation; and so I head to swimming pool. Yes, I’ve started swimming too. It is still a lot cold, but it is getting better. By the way, I have learnt 3 different strokes – only butterfly stroke is left. Hopefully in another month or two, I will learn that too.

In the mean time, I have started to work on my photography too. I have (re-)started the photoblog. Not a lot, but few pics. Already I got some nasty comments from one guy saying all of them are banal, out-of-focus and cliché. It did hurt me when I read it, but I appreciate the fact that this guy took time to put in his comments, though he could’ve said it in a gentle manner.

So you can see that my plate is more than full. And this also means that my days are going so fast. Already half of the month is gone! But it is keeping me busy.
