Life is to Enjoy

One of my collegue's parents are here at Pittsburgh. His mom was very generous and she had invited us guys to a dinner yesterday night. She had prepared sweet, vadai, usili, vatha kozhambu and rasam. It was a great experience for us and for a dead tounge which had pizza, buns and breads primarily, this was as good as a grand dinner we could have at a wedding.... Vaazhga SK, Vaazhga maami.... :-)

I am used to playing Sunday morning cricket back home. When I was leaving to US, I was in a worry that I might miss this playing cricket. But that is not the case. I am playing cricket on both Saturday and Sunday here except for changes in timings. Morning cricket now became evening cricket. As long as I am not missing my regular activity, I am happy.... One more new game to me which we play alternatively with cricket is tennis. I have watched tennis in TV as well as 2 semifinals in Chennai's Nungambakkam stadium. But I have never even thought on playing it until I did it here. It is relaxing game unless you take the game seriously.... One more weekend routine I dont miss here is... well... ok I guess you can understand it now... yupp I sense smile in your face... :-)

There are quite a few things I hate here. Some of them are listed below. May not make sense to all, but I hate it. 1. Waiting for or giving way to Ladies while crossing road, going in elevator, etc... etc... Where is the equality here? Its all dying to my knowledge. 2. When there is a meeting to discuss on work related matter, a lot of discussion on personal life of each person happen before the actual discussion start. About 40% of meeting time is lost due to this. 3. There are quite a few Indians trying to intrude your privacy by asking you questions on whether you have interest in a part time job. Its terribly bad to my liking. I can go on and on and on.... lemme put a break here...
