Schaumburg life.. 1

Hmm.. Its been long time since i penned anything.. the whole of august and september was damn busy till my project went to prod.

I never knew i can withstand so much pressure!

I remember the day when my mom , dad, sister, brother-in-law everyone who were hurriedly making all arrangements for me to leave. Shopping at the last minute is an absolute pain- I lately realized. I got to leave by sept1st 12:30am. (ie august 31 midnight). Imagine that i din't do any shopping till that friday since I had to go to bangalore on an office trip then.MYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDD !! all day shopping.. shopping.. My legs were begging me to let them rest some where.. But mind won't allow them to do so.. as it was racing in every other direction.. which one next on the list.. come on.. the grocery..?? suitcaaasee..?? shoooes...?? oh my GOD ! so many left on the list yet to be shopped..

Fianlly the interesting episode of shopping came to an end with the pressure cooker at rathna store.. huh! I don't understand how i had so much hope that i am gonna cook ?? :P pity my mom.. her 850 bugs all went waste. I literally used the cooker only once here. But the ready mix's from Adayar Grand sweets are damn good.. They are my mom's here... making my job sooooo simple... that too the garlic rasam and tomato rasam paste comforted my stomach's after heavy pizza's / french fries I had during noons.

There were days when i thought .. oh.. God.. who will cook.. what a kind of nasty job is it. ? ? even asked my mom.. once.. are you not getting bored with all this cooking three times a day all week,, ?? Now , when i cook with my friends Devika, Raju, Sangeetha, Naveen.. I literally enjoy it. I lately realized that it was not the cooking that was a boredom but the way i felt to cook alone was a boredom.I even made capsicum curry and dhal once on my own !!! It was interesting i promise you if were thinking my kind ..

uh..oh.. too much on the kitchen stuff.. having never been out of home on my own since childhood , I really enjoy- being here with friends , pass comments on every person who comes by our way, kid eachother for silly things we do.. Hmm.. I am sure this trip is going to be my mind for long.. sweet memories !!!

I pity the shuttle driver who drives us to office and back to hotel. we make such huge noises in the shuttle that are worse than 10 truck's horn.We din't spare him also. all laughter.. comments.. noises.. making him to wait for a while.. seeing his long tensed face after a long wait.. speaking in a differnt language that he doesn'e seem to understand.. was fun for us.. to him as well i guess.. Would never drove for a ppl of our king i guess.. we even used to tell among ourselves.. " i guess it is rahukala for him everyday from 5:30 to 5:45 .. ever since we came here.. " .

more to come..
