Its been quite a while since I've written. I guess now I've lost the interest of the one person who might've been reading this blog :-)). Anyway, I'm back. What has been happening?? Well
1) I turned 23 on the 9th. NP called from Wyoming in the morning and we spoke for quite some time. It was fun to catch up with him after so long. Ankit called up from Mumbai. Sari called too. Sumi SMSed her birthday wishes. Reshma and Smriti forgot my birthday :-)), but hey, they had their reasons. Lots of others wished me. In the office, I found that one of my batchmates had mailed the entire office that it was my birthday, so spent the entire day replying to mails from everyone who mailed back wishing me. 9th also happened to be the day the VP of our Engineering Team quit. Cake was distributed, and unfortunately for me, some of it was smashed on my face and hair :-(. I was given birthday bumps too, and it hurt for days :-((. In the evening, my batchmates gave me a T-shirt and a cap. Suchi and Shy came to my office with cake, but I could not spend much time with them cos I was supposed to take my batchmates out for dinner. Dinner was great, and (luckily for me), didnt do much damage to my bank-balance. :-D
2) I got the Sigma. Went to NP's place on the 8th and picked it up. Went to Venkat's place on Saturday (10th), but I was late, so couldnt meet Venkat. Sunday too, Venkat was not well, so couldnt get it fixed on Sunday. Thought I'd get it fixed today. But then, impatient as I am, I decided to fix it myself. Went home early on Monday (and got totally wet in the process), took the Sigma's pickup unit and some extra wire and got it spliced by an electrician. Also got a magnet from him. Took it home, and fixed it. And it worked fine :-). Only disappointment is that I've realized that my bike's speedo is optimistic by around 4-6kmph. So, when I think I'm doing 100kmph, in reality, I am only doing 94kmph (according to the Sigma) :-(. Nevertheless, it will be a useful gadget during long rides.
3) Wood work is going on at new house. My cousin's carpenters are pretty good. They built my bed, wardrobe and TV stand to specification :-). Cant wait to move in.
Well, a lot more things happened, but they slip my memory. So, thats it for now.
