Realized my last post was in Apr 09. So, what was I upto ?
Well, was busy at work. Know that this is equivalent to saying that 'it snowed heavily in bangalore'. I leave you to interpret the first statement while I stand 'strongly' by what it means :-)
Also, I went on a 'paid vacation' to Austin / Seattle (read as business trip). After finishing off my 'business' in Austin, I headed to Seattle to catch up with my wingies. Was lot of fun as we caught up with everlasting memories of good-old BITSian days.
In a way, the US trip was a 'strange' experience for me. People understood the language I spoke. Having spent a good amount of time in Europe, I had to often use sign language(except in France) to make people understand what I was trying to convey to them either in a restaurant, or a mall, etc etc. Brings to memory a unique incident when I went to Andorra ( a small country between France and Spain) a few years ago - my friend wanted to buy a camera, he tells me in English as to what he wants; I then speak to someone in French as to what my friend wants; she finally speaks to the sales lady in Catalan( or some equivalent) and tells her what we want. My friend eventually did purchase the camera - so, such 4-way communications do work, ain't it ? :-)
Purchased the 'Wii' for my friend and have been a fan of this ever since. My friend and I fight it out in tennis - note that he always wins though I call it a 'fight' :-). I've never been any sort of an avid gamer, but with Wii, I guess I've changed!
