New Year - 2014!!

2013 was a mixed bag roller coaster but ended really good!!! Abhijith getting a full time job in a reputed company and our long awaited vacationing in the Caribbean Cruise :-) Much to thank for in 2013 and much more to look forward to in 2014.....

Looking back at my Resolution List, I think I made good progress.. that been said I know I could have performed better had I put a little bit more dedication and effort. So here comes the list for 2014 and just like any other new year going along with the holiday spirit jump starting my resolutions with a BANG!!! Wish me luck :-)


P.S - Due to selfish reasons my 2014 resolutions are more oriented towards my own gain than what was there in the 2013 list. But hey, these are necessary..and yes there is always other years where I can bring a balance to this :-)


HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014! 

LV - LAS VEGAS

So the Hubby and I made a short quick trip to LV this weekend! Well it was Abhi's BD week and we wanted to take a break too... and that made LV happen.

Experiences were quiet intense and interesting. Some highlights include Brunching in THE BUFFET at WYNN, Gambling  for over $200 recklessly, Night Clubing and just leaving right off THE STRIP in LV....Fancy Fancy :-)

Will definitely would love to re-visit LV more often if time, money and energy permits!!!!


What say Abhijith ?

Yet Again I am Proved Right!!! ha ha....

I must have definitely blogged about one of my very strong belief... "Everything happens for ones own good" and once again I was proved so correct just last evening.

I was trying to find the reasoning behind some of my actions and the path I choose though I knew it would lead to no result. Time and again I haven't got a solution or a reasoning to it, which has frustrated me so much and has made me feel guilty for a long time now. The angelic call I got and a few sentences kinda resolved everything...!!! damn YOU Arpitha !!! Don't you ever forget " Everything happens for ones own good" ever again....all the tears...all the tension...all the guilt..all the DRAMA... OMG!!! don't get me started....and after all this...Ah... what a relief :-) I am :-) :-) :-)

Optimism at its HIGHEST level!!!

If only, I resolve the reason why I was offered a job at EY and why I accepted it, I will take this belief as a TESTAMENT from GOD!!! ;-)

Cycle and Car!!!

Not sure if I had blogged about this earlier, but in Spring 2012, my last few weeks at LSU and Baton Rouge, I was a victim of a stolen bike. The worst thing was it was a borrowed from a dear friend. I was irresponsible which lead to the calamity must I say!!! I was so angry, hysterical about what had happened that it took me months to get over it. Believe it or not, I had filed a police report and frantically searched all over the place for hours for the stolen cycle :-) That was me OVER REACTING.. but it felt quiet normal then!!!

And just two weeks ago, someone broke into my car by breaking in the passenger back seat rolling window, stole the off the market GPS + Stereo System!!! I followed the routine of filing the police report, calling the insurance agent, informing at work I will be late, asked help to get the glass pieces cleaned and drove to work. I met my Manager, with a funny smiling face and he is like "I thought someone broke in to you car?" with a confused expression on his face. However this time I was apparently reacting the way I was not supposed to and yet it felt quiet normal....

Well as long as feeling normal is still GOOD! :-D

GTH

Been too lazy to blog now a days?!!...may be I am at a stage where I don't want to blog... not sure...

So, working in India for a software company means you have thee Conference Calls with the clients in US ( Most of the time). I never had an opportunity to actively participate in these calls apart from been a passive listener. Even with this minimum experience I had an Idea of how this whole "Off-Shore"  and "Out-Source" thing worked. Recently have had multiple opportunities to interact with GTH ( Global Talent Hub) and more importantly I have had to interact with GTH from Bangalore. Much to my dismay, I am shocked and surprised how things are coordinated from the other end. Well for one, this is not a typical IT Project. Hence, the basis on which I am doing the comparison can be wrong, but nevertheless WOW!! Well no wonder there is some truth in the saying "Even if you evidence it, inspect it before concluding it" or "there are three versions to a story, your version, my version and the truth."

Labor Day Weekend

Have never ever looked forward to a Long weekend in the past 3 years as much as I am looking forward to this one!


Packed with a hectic schedule revolving around working, been a wife and running a family, I really really Need a break!!! Now I know what this meas to so many people out there :-) Hope it really turns out to be THE much needed break :-)
