Again after a very long gap.. I'm back.. The last I wrote was on July 8th.. somehow need to catch up on blogging.

The past few months were quite happening.. Right from Coorg trip to father having a Trasient Ischmic Attack (TIA); From getting ready for writing the essays/apps for B-schools to relaxing now chewing finger nails in anticipation of a call. :-) LIFE is surely very EVENTFUL. Need I say more.

More importantly, having a lot of time for myself these days.. So weekends are going for teaching kids at a school and being at the old age home.. things that I really wanted to do for a long time. Friday, I went to Ashwini Charitable Trust (ACT).. to teach Maths and English. To my surprise, they took me as a music teacher.. and there I was choosing students who were inclined towards music or had even a bit of sense of sur and taal.. but that was quite moving to see them present a skit for me.. that too for an hour.

The week end was also good. Spent time with Mona, Avani and Shiva.. Diwali time. :-) I dont like burning crackers.. First of all, these things add so much to the global warming... and secondly at least I don't see it worth wasting so much money on just some noisy crackers.. What a waste!! Diwali in its true sense has already lost its true purpose for celebration.. people just think about bursting crackers.. and behave so inconsiderately for others.. as they keep on bursting crackers till late night.. Ooops.. sorry if I am being too opinionated.. but then I can't recall the last time when I didn't have an opinion about something..

One resolution I took last week is to spend more time in drumming.. It gives me a lot of joy.. I actually watched a video of Mike Portnoy (he is God.. when it comes to drumming).. Lemme just put it here..



Man this guy uses a god-knows-100-piece-drumkit!! awesome.

Anyways, apart from that, I read, "The Alchemist" from Paulo Coelho. Quite a nice book on pursuing one's dreams.. I liked it a lot.. still thinking about what all it said. Gonna post something that I recall on the other blog.. (Notes to Myself).

Alright.. its 1802 IST now.. Got to take status from team and push off to home..

so Adios..
