Dull Saddening Days

Its been a dull few months for me the past few months and I am just not able to start something new. I have just gotten stuck in a boring routine life, which mainly involves housework, resting for a while, tuitions for my nephew, housework again, surfing the net for a while in the night looking for jobs and applying - watching TV at the same time, and then going to sleep. The only exciting thing that I probably do during the entire day is 1 hr of watching Masterchef Australia on TV.

Few things I have been thinking about and which I need to start following soon -

1. Have been planning to start my craft work. I have all the wool, needles, designs etc., ready, but have been either too lazy to start it or just uninterested - dont really know.
2. Have been thinking of taking up some free courses online, but I feel that I just dont find enough time. Maybe I am not very good at time management, because I started some courses before and every time I started them, I left them halfway through and never completed a single course.
3. Been thinking about my future a lot and that is the part which depresses me a lot, mainly because I am tired and frustrated of looking for a suitable job w.r.t my profile and its not seeming to be an easy job.
4. Wanting to join some language classes - maybe French or German. I had taken basic level of French before and would wanna either continue that or take up German. Basically I love learning new languages - not sure when thats gonna happen.
5. Want to get a job asap, at-least to be able to get some free time (not sure if thats gonna happen once I start working), but definitely wanna get settled into some sort of job routine. I feel the main problem to me not getting any interview calls is because the cell phone signal in my house is totally NIL :(, so I have to rely mainly on emails, which is not the preferred primary method of communication in India as of yet.

Hoping for things to start going well soon. Oh !! wanna start blogging more often too, but I just dont have anything to blog about currently - duh - sort of understandable from my situation right ?

Anyways, hopefully everything changes soon and I stop feeling miserable soon.

Back to Cooking !!

The weekend went by in a breeze, but I was still bored to hell, since I was alone at home... Hence thought of doing some cooking and pampering myself. Yes... I cook when I am bored !! STOP LAUGHING !!! Its what I do !!! It makes me happy and keeps me busy :)

Anyways, this was the menu for the weekend.

Jeera-Pepper Tambli (jeer-meerya tambuli), Horsegram Rasam (huraLikaaLu saaru), Bhindi Fry (bendekayi palya) and ginger-garlic buttermilk (shunti-beLLuLLi majjige).... Who has the final laugh now ?? HAHAHA !!!

It all turned out to be finger-licking yummy... and I ate too much !!! Follow the links to find the recipes :)

Meanwhile I am trying out some courses online and I find this one - "Applied Cryptography" - particularly interesting.... the math / computer science geeks out there might wanna try it out. I felt so alive after cooking and eating all this yummy food, that I was able to complete my course homeworks in a jiffy !! :)

Will soon be back with more adventures.

So long....

Awesome Weekend !!

The weekend that just went by was a time for relaxing and cleaning... since the much awaited festival of Ugadi is just around the corner (23rd March). The relaxing after the cleaning was what was long due... because generally everyone is at home (since I live in a joint family), and there is no end to the cooking and cleaning up after and washing dishes and the like, not to mention - add to that the extra work of cleaning every nook and corner of the house !! However this weekend was totally different. My in-laws had gone to their village for some festival over the week. The guys in the house followed them over the weekend and the ladies in the house had the house to themselves. Then there were the kids. But there was more relaxing time comparatively, because kids generally dont care much for rice n sambar and all the elaborate cooking. So, I got to do some experimenting around the house.

All set and ready to travel !!

I never knew I was such an impatient person until now. I am waiting to leave for the airport in less than 2 hrs time and I cannot think of anything to do that can help me pass those 2 hrs or less. Now that I think back about it, I guess I have always been very very impatient.

Anyways, I am waiting to travel to SFO for an interview on the 16th Nov. But the more important reason that I am going to SFO is mainly to meet my close friend A. She is arriving to SFO on the 18th for a company project and she is there for 1.5 months. I will be meeting her constantly every weekend for 1 month after which I will be traveling back to Athens, GA.

Its funny how you begin to count days to a particular event and then when the days get lesser and lesser, you begin counting hours and then minutes. The human brain automatically switches, making things go even slower than it already is and making it seem like its gonna take forever. It also makes other things seem so trivial, which is a wonder... And when the moment finally comes and goes, you just cannot believe later that its GONE and is probably not coming back again in your life !!!

Dont wanna be giving out negative vibes to myself right now. For now, I am just WAITING WAITING to meet this friend of mine and cannot think of anything else !!! Nov 18th seems so far far away !!!!!

So long folks

BORED TO DEATH !!

Ever been in a point in life, where you are bored to death itself ?? Wonder why its related to death ? Does it mean you would rather die than remain bored ? Whatever !!

Anyways, have decided today in such a mental torturous situation that I have to write something in my blog everyday. So in order to have matter to write in the blog everyday, I will probably do some significant work everyday ??? !!!! Well, that's the plan at-least for now :)

Lets see what it is for today... I will write back tonite... Keep waiting !!

Hey... looks like a diary entry to me :)
