It's been a year.

Can't believe that a year has flown by since I last posted.

Here's to 2008. Here's to another start.

A quick highlight of what I've been up to in the last year. Well, not much, its been a lot of void and bloopers but I'll try to cover them up.

1. Got back to Soccer. After a decade or so. Found a pickup soccer club that plays Sunday morning. People don't believe that I used to be a highschool soccer superstar. May be they would if I didn't suck beyond reasonable doubt.

2. Visited India. After a long time. Was a lot of realization.
Some things never change - beautiful beaches with molaga bajji (fried flour battered hot green chillis - unhygienic but delicious), crazy traffic and crazier driving..
Some things change a lot - married friends, new malls, newer IT parks..
Stopped over London on the way home and Dubai on the way back. It was a real vacation.

3. Got a taste of Vegas. Someone told me that you had slots in the airport. I didn't believe then. Now I do. The amount of money exchanged, I mean donated in that short strip of land is amazing. I came to terms with the fact that gambling was not a good investment option after all.

4. Got a chance to peek at the Grand Canyon. Gives you a sense of security - the next time you think you are in deep shit, think about the deeper things in life and take solace.

5. Age went up. Again.

6. This new year sucked. Pretty much like the last one. For some reason a new year doesn't excite me. It illusions a mirage that things will get better. It reinforces your inability to keep resolutions.
