~Looney tunes~

Yeah, so.. what did I do in the last couple of months?? Hmmm... let me think.. I think I did quite a lot of nothing.. and then some more nothing. So, all in all, it has been a fruitful time so far. But hey! I go to office on time (debatable, ready to negotiate) and wake up late on weekends! Dont say I have no goals!

Sorry about the borrowed sentences, but that's exactly what I've been doing. Although, I did flunk my certification test, twice. ;) Hoping to clear it the third time. (God! I hope so!) Recently, I had caught the 'i-wanna-go-back-to-India' syndrome. Phew, it was difficult coping with it. Now I feel much better. Learnt a lesson: You can't 'always' get what you want. ;) But I guess its OK. You can't get 'everything' you want either. :D


Btw, found a new place for myself. Moved in recently. Centre-ville (city center), pretty neat place. I must say, being independent is nice. :)

Visited Lourdes today. It felt like ages since I stepped out of town. The last time was during the Christmas time. Lourdes, as it turns out, is not a tourist attraction, its a pilgrimage center. :) It was beautiful though, as any other place around here I suppose. This was the first time I travelled first class in a train here. Man, it was good! Weather is getting better. So, we thought we'll have a little outing. Nice way to spend the day.

Now back home after walking around the whole day. Totally tired. Side effects of old-age I suppose. :D Naah, can't be that. Actually, I got fat. :D (well, not fat... put on some weight :D) Was proud of it until about a month ago, but now, I watch my food. Can't believe I got to this place. I never thought this was possible. A couple of years ago, I was complaining to my cousin about not being able to put on weight. He told me to relax and join the IT industry. I thought he was kidding.... well......

I'll have to start wasting some of my most precious minutes of the day exercising. Eats into my beloved 'lying around' time. :( But, its necessary I suppose.

My stay here in Toulouse has been repeatedly rocked by uncertainties. Looking forward to less turbulent times. People back home seem pretty pissed at the random news thats beeped from here. Can't help it yaar. I'm not having fun either. Have lost touch with tons of folks back home. I don't feel very good about it. Makes me think sometimes. Did I leave too early? Have I been away too long? Creepy doubts creeping into the head. And then I remind myself, most things are out of my control. If things were in my hands........

My classmates from B.Tech. had a reunion party on the 13th of March. A rendezvous after almost 2 years! I missed that. Hoping there would be another one sometime later and I would be there to be a part of it. :) Hope.. such a silly thing. I don't trust it, but I can't get rid of it.

That's all for now! No more thoughts in the head. Its all empty.
Until later, sayonara!
