The Hiatus is Over!

After a 5-month long absence from my beloved blog, I'm back! Lots has happened in the period in between. I've switched jobs (no more am I employed by the world's local bank!). I'm living the proverbial corporate life. Home to office in the morning, office to the gym in the evening, back home for dinner, bedtime, and the same thing for the rest of the week. Weekends are spent catching up with family and friends. Sunday afternoon brings on the bad mood related to Monday being just round the corner.

But I've found the key to keeping happy. It's working for now. I hope it doesn't fizzle out any time soon. I keep certain dates or activities in mind that are coming up in the near future. My entire energy goes towards planning for and looking forward to that.

To begin with, I have a nice and lazy vacation to look forward to in about 3 weeks. My favourite destination ever - Thailand. I'm surprised the Thai authorities have not gifted me with an honorary visa that never expires. The last couple of times I was in the country for vacation, the immigration officials had a hard time finding my most recent visa. I'm sure I must have been to the place at least 8 times. And I still can't get enough. This time my week-long visit consists of 4 days in Krabi and 3 days in Bangkok. Aaaaaaaaaaaah! I can already feel the sea-breeze and can almost smell the sewers in Bangkok as I start my long countdown to my vacation. It's the first time my significant other and I are venturing out on a nice luxurious holiday together (Europe was different because we pretty much roughed it out there as poor students!).

I'm glad to be back. I have a vacation to look forward to. Lots has changed around me since I last posted an entry (more of all that later). I have a tonne of stuff waiting to happen over the next few months (pretty much what is keeping me going). Life may seem like it's blah right now, but I guess it's up to me to make things happen. Stay tuned!

Thank you, Mumbai!

For once I am thankful to this city. I still miss Delhi everyday, but thanks to the arduous commute I have recultivated a habit I had lost out on over the last couple of years in B-school - Reading. The one hour train ride between work and home has given me a chance to catch up on my reading. My weekends are spent at bookstores and a substantial portion of my credit card dues are for book purchases. While my mother complains about lack of space to stash my purchases, I can't help but succumb to the smell of a new book. I think it's time for that new set of shelves in my room back home in Delhi!

Oops 'You' Did It Again

You played with my heart, got lost in the game...

The last time I saw alokgarg43

Was a couple of days ago when he took me out to dinner at the Taj. Best way to cheer me up after living through hell in Mumbai over the last 2 months. How thoughtful of him. Honestly, this gesture was most unexpected.
