Another broken promise

I promised myself to keep posting here. But here I am. Trying to break bad old habits but just can't do so. I am irritatingly fucking stubborn.

More than three months have passed by and the year is ending now. I have been busy with lots of things mostly professional.

• Worked hard in these months to get customer satisfaction index of 5/6 (which for your reference is stupendous).
  
• Had chicken pox for three weeks.
  
• Had been visited by Jiju and parents lately.
• Met some of the most influencing personalities (Angus, Acky, Anuraj, etc. - all professional)
• Celebrated first anniversary in a modest way.
• Celebrated first Diwali after marriage at home.
• Started playing AOE again. :)
  

Have lots to write. But have to start AOE. Will post soon. Promise. :)

Fcuking long weekends

After 2 and a half months of rubbing my ass on the new project, finally comes the long weekend. And guess what - I am in no mood to rejoice or rest. I have changed. I am no longer looking forward to the long weekends. And thanks to Murphy I have 2 more coming on my way. Fcuk Murphy. Fcuk, I am seriously pissed off. Hope the mood changes quickly and I am again the same old guy.

FRM Deferred

Not even 24 hours have gone by after coming from London and I have taken the decision - a very hard one - to defer the FRM exam to May 2010. I have missed the chance to write FRM in one shot. From next year, it is going to be held in two stages. So, I would have to clear Level 1 first before sitting for the second level. That was another $250 bullet in my credit card.

Amrita Arora and Lamborghini

What a day !! Went to Oxford Street directly from office. Oxford street in London is like Connaught Place in Delhi with all the big brands occupying thousands of square feet place. We were walking the street and Amrita just passed me by. In the first glance, I was not sure she was Amrita. So, I called out her name - "Hey Amrita". She turned back and said "Hi". I said "Hi". And thats it. I was delighted but didn't ask her for a photograph.

The second surprise in that evening was a black Lamboghini with pink interiors. It was like a gay batman's car. :D Even with the pink interiors the sheer beauty and the power of Lamborghini cannot be undermined. See for yourself:



My first Lamborghini experience was in Las Vegas, US when i was roaming with my then girlfriend and now wife Madhura Karandikar. :D Here is a pic:




The third surprise was the GBP 2900 Armani Jacket I saw (and touched :D) and GBP 27000 Ferrari watch. Man, they were awesome. I turned materialistic for sometime.
