Too much has happened and too soon to be able to spell out and bring you upto date on it. There were times when I almost abandoned writing , because I felt I did not want to put my thoughts up on the black board after all maybe.
But when you are sitting in front of a sunset , over a sea ...stretching to limitless horizons..... with a few yatchts throwing their shadows, and a ship ferrying across cars to a distant island, and the tell-tale traces and memories of a harbor cruise ship which had been docking in the same waters till yesterday ............. can you but not write about it! Alas! This will be my first and last sunset over the sea in this amazing apartment I guess. Tomorrow, my internship starts and so also my permanent accomodation at a new place. What started out with bungling mistakes.......
I checked in at my assigned apartment to find my room-mate was a guy, I very well had not known if that was a mistake or not on the part of my relocation manager. But they were very kind to find me temporary accomodation in a lovely single bedroom apartment , about which I have been gushing over till now........ and needless to say , the view was enough to make me fall in love with it.
But but but.... I left out a lot of details.... I am in Seattle, its a very green place but I was not having much fun with the housing worry at the back of my head all the time. Even then we visited about 3 major attractions, the Space Needle - amazing, X-Men 3 movie ...good but not great , Harbor cruise .....- very nice but cold.... , Aquarium and piers...stupendous with some beautiful videos and photos, Woodland Park and Zoo - great, Pacific Science Center - nice...with quite a few water shooting stuff and laser shows and dinosaurs.
Too much right ...I am sure life will soon settle down now ... but it was breathtaking while it lasted. I meant both the sunset and Seattle :)

I don't know.....
These seem to be my favorite three words all of a sudden. While coming , going, walking alone...anytime anybody asks me anything or even when I am speaking to myself ....the first three words that seem to jump out from my throat are "I don't know".
I have been worrying or trying to worry about so many things, at the same time, that for the past few days the world had completely shrunk to me.
Today is a little better ... :) maybe bcoz a database demo went well. And then maybe bcoz of Starbucks coffee "Double Chocolate Chip" which was heavenly ........ and I have sort of negotiated with myself to leave things to work themselves out. After all, when there was nothing in my hands, something did come up out of the blue.
If I have been talking in circles in the last few lines...its high time I cleared things up a little. What I have been referring to is internship interviews.
A lot of my friends are landing in the USA this year, well thats not surprising...... this seems to be everybody's ultimate destination. I am happy for my friends, just wishing they had landed up last year itself.
A lot of my friends are getting married, and I guess the rest of us are realizing that things are moving pretty fast and its not like college anymore and we don't have all the time in our hands and nothing to worry about..... as we used to.
Ofcourse this is besides the fact that some of us are feeling pretty old as well. :)
I have been shopping ....(a girl's favorite past-time you would say ...well that is one point I would never disagree.) When I go to the malls and just stand and look around ...there are so many things I would like to spend money on. And if you have noticed ...... what you spend money on varies from person to person. What I might consider is "great at any cost" maybe exorbitantly pricey to another person.
But mall trips inevitably remind me of this shop called Odyssey in Trichy. It was sort of my little treasure island. Ofcourse they used to advertise themselves as the Leisure store. You can sit read and not buy anything. But you don't travel all the way from college to the city, on a Central Bus Stand bus (CBS-bus) and end up not buying anything and come back. And once you are in the city ...who can even think of going back to the mess and having dinner. So TAB (a restaurant there - I forgot which was the best dish there. There is another restaurant called Rock City in MG. If you ever happen to be there, do not forget to try Dolmond Pepper Chicken) ended up making quite a profit from us.
Well so long, discussions like these always tend to make me hungry ...... and I am thankful they took my mind off of a lot of other things. :)
(Oh in case you are wondering why the regular movie reviews are missing, I have stopped my subscription to Netflix for sometime in anticipation of going home. But I did watch Notting Hill ........ again. And I loved it as always. Anybody need cds to be copied , send across a request.)
