Up up and away :)

No write Ups.. the pics say it all....
BTW Now I have 10 mins of flying experience :P

Mama m coming home.. But !!!

Although the excitement of returning home overshadows a lot of things. The mind is flurrying between grief and happiness... But within these mixed reactions... still there are few thing I would miss.

1. Struggling to get up @ 6am in the morning... some times I made it.... sometimes I over slept... Finally Judy extended the helping hand to wake me up :)
2. Snow Walking... that was a new sport I started playing.... the 2 mins walk to the clinic was as good as an exciting sport.
3. Morning morning application going hay where and not working as expected :)
4. Amanda's calls... where she says "Hi this is Amanda from Dr. Bekals office, I called to schedule a colonoscopy" :)
5. Judy and Me fighting our way out to make the application work :)
6. Understanding the medical lingual, often referred by the doctors... That made me half a doctor :)
7. Dr. Mike and Alans giving voice commands as "aaascending colon" instead of "A scending colon" :)... Not our fault.. thts a difference between British and American English
8. The internet switching off at odd hours... :)
9. Sandy's candy offers... stealing Caris dymo label printers :) and the recovery room nurse making the environment all the more lively :)
10. Sheila's soft voice and humble voice... everytime excepted by the computer as a voice command... That always brought confidence..
11. McDonnalds Fries...
12. Long hours spent woth laptop... ending up @ 3am :)
13. Our (Bharats and mine) discussions about improving the application
14. Weekend spent at Downtown, Zoo and shopping malls
15. Dad's almost forgetting my Birthday
16. Warmth shared by all the physicians ... to make me as comfortable as possible

On My Birthday

This is the cake, the nurses made for me :P

That was really nice of them, essentially its a laptop with the project logo on it and yes it has a core 2 duo processor. Following the cake cutting ceremony a birthday song was hummed. This was the 1st time I saw the doctors singing :P

So As my New Year begins ... (its the day I came to this world.. so my new year :P)

Some things m lookin forward to:

1. Cooking... I have just become a fan

2. Driving... Need to manouver on those those sensual curves :P

3. Squash... Nice sport

4. Project Unicorn.. I guess only a few know about this :)

5. Goa Goa.. Ye Ye.. Cant wait to have a blast :P

Dilemma about Kumar & Abhishek

I guess after a considerable amount of time spent on earth, one thing every person is very much sure of is his/her NAME. But guess what, at this point if some one asks me my name .... M CONFUSED.

Well it all started with the damn registrar of my school who put my name in reverse in the certificates. Till 12th I could handle it. Then came college, I dint knew a change of place would cause a change in name. So I came to be known as "Kumar". I took pride in that name !! n almost forgot that "Abhishek" was also attached to it. College was fun, days went by and "Kumar" stabalised. So the first interview I attended, I was asked whether to be called "Kumar" or "Abhishek". In came the prompt reply "Kumar". Interviewer asked "Then what is Abhishek for" ? "Stumped" :) I had never thought of it !!!

Joined a company and there was a welcome change. I came to be known as "Abhishek". Thankfully now I could tell everybody that "Kumar" was the title :) But as always the ghost was right behind. Went for a Visa Interview where my passport said "Kumar" and I contradicted with "Abhishek" !!! Result, Visa on hold :)

After fiddling long with the name, I thought "Abhishek" was one thing to get settled about. Naah !! Guess what, Americans find it a tounge twister :) they prefer "Kumar" :D

And the confusion continues ....

Thought of the day

If oppurtunities dont knock, build a door :)

The gurl who blew me off :)

Waiting for the pics :P

One night stand @ Cincinnati

Waiting for the pics :)

When you are all alone in the US

Although it wasn't as easy as it looks, but it was one "hell of an experience"

So heres some tips when you are all alone in US:
1. Learn Cooking before you come here :)
2. Do not download movies from untrusted sites, so that your laptop is never hit by SPYWARE
3. Although being a stag is a curse in India, being single is a blessing here, so do visit an Irish Pub :)
4. Make sure you have enough of work
5. Find places for sports and other activities
6. And when the going gets tough, DO NOT fight hard. Leave it on time !!
