Malaysia
today is the day of the trip. Ive spent the past 4-5 days in and out of bed basically sick from a sore throat and the shivers. Yes, "oink" was the first word that popped into my head given that everyone has the swine flu. Doc says its acute laryngitis and that I will be ok. I still feel like crap though and am wondering how i will survive this flight. Of course the company of my lovely wife always makes things look up, so thats one avenue :)
ok, so checked out on client project, checked in mentally for malaysia. My gps is loaded with maps of malaysia and singapore. will be seeing my sis n mom there for 5 days or so. hoping for a nice vaca.

JJWS - Pehla Nasha
Was searching for some AR Rahman music and came across this oldie...brings back some fun memories from college with Ramesh, VK, and Vivek...broke as shit but watching hindi movies on saturday afternoons sucking down some rum that we would secretly smuggle into the theaters or even a smoke by the door...
Ah to be young, stupid and careless again :)

Boston Logan
Sitting at Boston Logan, 6 pm and wondering what was that AD that I loved the other day...yes...YOU/HTC
Now thats what I'm saying "and you trying to remember, and you, are trying to forget". Don't we all have that in our lives?

Aicha
from some time ago, still a magical song
Comme si je n'existais pas,
elle est passée à côté de moi
Sans un regard, reine de "Saba",
j'ai dit Aïcha prends tout est pour toi
Voici les perles les bijoux,
aussi l'or autour de ton cou
Les fruits, biens mûrs au goût de miel,
ma vie, Aïcha si tu m'aimes
J'irai où ton souffle nous mène,
dans les pays d'ivoire et des baignes
J'effacerai tes larmes ou tes peines,
rien n'est trop beau pour une si belle
Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas
Aïcha,Aïcha regarde moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha réponds-moi
Je dirai les mots les poèmes,
je jouerai les musiques du ciel
Je prendrai les rayons du soleil,
pour éclairer tes yeux de reine
Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas
Aïcha,Aïcha regarde moi,
Aïcha, Aïcha réponds-moi
Refrain
Elle m'a dit: "Garde tes tresors,
moi je vaux mieux que tout ça
Des barreaux sont des barreaux, même en or
Je veux les mêmes droits que toi
Du respect pour chaque jour,
moi je ne veux que de l'amour "
Comme si je n'existai pas,
elle est passée à côté de moi
Sans un regard, reine de "Saba"é,
j'ai dit Aïcha prends tout est pour toi
Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi, Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas, Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde moi
Aïcha, Aïcha réponds moi, Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas, Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde moi
Aïcha, Aïcha répond moi, Aïcha, Aïcha écoute moi
Aïcha, Aïcha t'en vas pas, Aïcha, Aïcha, regarde moi
Comme si je n'existais pas,
elle est passée à côté de moi
Sans un regard, reine de "Saba",
j'ai dit Aïcha prends tout est pour toi
Voici les perles les bijoux,
aussi l'or autour de ton cou

is this as good as it gets?
im starting to wonder about life, in general and more specifically. was there another reason other than working for a living that we have been put here. while i'm a big believer in focusing on the quality of our relationships that we share with our loved ones, families, friends and the overall good deeds one can do, i find that im more consumed with the moment at work. work drives my schedule, my life and my ability to live without the constant worry of not getting a task accomplished. i wonder, is this really as good as it gets?

The News and Then Some
So, didn't hear anything about moving forward careerwise this past month as I suspected, it migth have been put on hold. Had a call last night with a senior person and she was able to describe to me the whys and whats that are holding up the situation.
Needless to say, after the initial disappointment, a strange calm came over me when I realized that I don't define my life by these guidelines. Call it a losing consolation prize, but, in my head, all the money in the world wouldn't compensate for the time well spent with the person I love. You know who you are because you read this blog from time to time and wonder about my dark poetry.

Ok I'm updating now
Okay, so i've been away from this blog for a little bit now. Its just that I went thru a phase of trying to sell some follow on work to a client who wasn't buying anymore and the well went dry for a bit. Fast forward into July and a phone call from a colleague set me up with a new client (biotech) in boston. I love this city, staying at the starwood hotels makes it even more fun. Somewhere between a tough client, a good team and even better leadership, it makes it all worth it.
One complaint though, the commute is a killer. Seems like every rainstorm, wind or happening of god, has an effect on the flight and traffic patterns back to Eagles country. That, and not getting to spend time with my wife anymore, or should I say, as much as I like. Okay, well that two complaints, but then again, last time i checked, this is MY blog isn't it?

Remembering dad
You passed away 5 years this day and I remember standing by your bedside as you breathed your last at 7pm IST. I still miss you, and I still cherish the time we have spent together. May your soul rest in peace. Don't forget, I'm looking forward to seeing you again in this afterlife.
