Weekly log

It's been ages since my first post and I again attribute that to my extreme laziness :). I think it's time I rectify that and so thought of doing a weekly log wherein I would mention the things that happened over the course of the week. It's winter and a harsh and early one in Charlotte. It's a pity that it is so cold that we can't go outside and do any physical activity.

When I was in India it used to be so hot most days that we used to wish for snow and winter etc. I guess it was just a case of grass looking greener on the other side of the river. Having experienced winter for 3 years now, I must say I would prefer summer any day over winter. Maybe one or two days of winter a year at max :). Wishful thinking I know, unless I am so rich that I can go wherever I please whenever I please. Alas, not there quite yet :).

So for this week, lets see, what all did I do. Well, nothing much!!! It was a particularly lazy week as most folks at office were on leave for the Christmas holidays. Although I must say I did see Christmas town here in Charlotte last Saturday. It was a nice experience at least the first 15minutes when we actually got to see the Christmas lights. After that it was a traffic nightmare :(. It took me about 1.5hrs to cover 0.5miles because of the traffic and that kind of ruined the experience for me. But I guess, we should have chosen some other day, probably a week day to have visited the place. It is worth a visit and you can view all the details about it at this website http://www.mcadenville-christmastown.com/. I also went to the Infosys BCM party on Saturday which is again a yearly thing which my employer Infosys has in Charlotte. I took my brother also with me for the party. My only motivation for going was free food and drinks :) and I must say the food didn't disappoint me. There was the usual party events and skits and it was a satisfying evening out. I also got to see few old friends and exchange pleasantries which is rare nowadays. Other than that it was another week spent watching movies and watching more movies :). Netflix rocks!!!

I decided to either go to gym or play tennis on most days from this week and so far it has been a mild success. I went 2 days out of 4!! Hopefully I can make it more consistent. What else, its Christmas week and so I wish the world a happy and merry Christmas!! Until next time, ciao.
