Freezing days not far away

Winter is gonna hit pretty soon this year here. It has already started getting cold and this week, for the last 3 days we have seen the gusts gaining speed. Today was another damn windy and chilly day towards evening. It has been predicted that this is gonna be a tough and rough winter this time! Boy, I imagine how much snow I am gonna witness.
You know, for tomorrow the prediction for low is -1C!! All I can say for that is turn on the heat and hide :)

Something to write about

Yawn.. and another one just followed the first...
Can't help..it's 1:27 AM to be precise and usually I would have been in my dreams by this time, but today being a Friday night..oops it's already Saturday..I have the privilege of staying awake n rising late in the morning :)

This week has been busy..work has always kept me on tips and toes and thankfully tennis is back in daily routine..Sad part is that we are playing just for an hour now :( reason is that the lights are no more available after 7 PM. It starts getting dark at 6:30 and by the time we decide to wrap it up it's almost 7 and we have to leave the court sadly..Anyways, I got a new racket for me coz the one I had broke early this week. I know we wont be getting to play longer, but I wanted to utilize every single day we have. Come November 2nd, and Daylight saving will be off and we will not be having virtually any time to play on weekends if the lights are not on!

Today, like most of this week, I was damn busy in work. Was glued to my desk till the last minute to 5. I wanted to finish up all pending tasks before leaving office today and didn't really wanted to finish up from home. Luckily, I did what I was aiming for. After coming back to the apartment, we decided to go to Chilli's for Dinner and then head to a movie. We had two options, either Body of Lies or Max Payne.

When I reached apartment, the first thing I had to do was finish up the last 5 minutes of the last episode of Friends. What a way to end. I felt like an era has ended. For the ten seasons, I felt like I was so much involved with every character, that I can not come to terms that it has ended. I know, I am watching it all over again, but then that is with Friends. You can see it all over again and again. I was able to connect to many things in different episodes at times to different situations I have been. I will be writing another post on this whole thing, some time late next week. But, I wanna say that I love this series and this is a hell great series. So much emotion packed, that I will never forget Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross!

We hit Chilli's around 9. Food was great as has been last time. I had no drinks :) and I'm cool about that right now! Presidente Margarita was quite appealing, esp when it's on your table, but I know very well that I can control myself when I really want to. So, was clean :) The cool thing there was that most of the time, I was checking on a hot waitress who was most of the time standing by the computer where other servers were coming and keying in their orders n stuff like that. She was in my direct vision zone and I never left a chance to look at her! Man, she was hot! Had I had guts, I would have at least asked her name :( Whew!

We left at around 9:45 and reached GSP well in time for the show. Hmm, now about the movie, Body of Lies. Well, what would you expect out of a political drama-cum-thriller? I don;t expect to see sleazy bodies there, nor do I expect screwed up songs and some spicy bollywood stuff. The movie delivers what it is expect to. Perfect direction, some tight acting by two greats. But, here Leonardo DiCaprio stole the thunder from Russel Crowe. Leo as always has performed intensely and with all emotions needed for his part. Russel did not had much of screen presence, but I really noticed the perfectionism in some scenes. Last time, I had marked the details was in American Gangster. I liked the movie, but not all will like! It had some thrilling scenes and also some chilling ones...Overall, I will credit Ridley Scott for exploring a sensitive subject and he did well!

Skwee-mish

I think I am squeamish when it comes to food. I have found myself often in situations where I have to starve myself due to the appearance of the food. No matter, it is tasty or someone is asking me again and again to try some stuff, my mind does not allows me to go for it. I know this is not good for me. I should have a knack for tasting things and trying out. But then, I am often lamed by my taste buds who reject new things coming my way. Rarely, I have appreciated a new delicacy.

For many weeks, all I had in lunch here was Cheese Pizza :) Being a non-vegetarian does not gives you full liberty to try and eat stuff here in US. Obviously precondition is your religious beliefs, which in my case places restriction. Here, you have to specifically ask for no-meat to mean that you don't want beef. Once I was with my friends in Woodbury Premium Outlets, up in NY state and feeling the hunger in stomachs we went to food court. I wanted to go for egg roll,which I did not had for a long time. I ordered it on a Chinese joint and then waited for my order. Thankfully, one of the staffers from the joint came to me and said that the egg roll will contain beef! I was taken back and at the same time was thankful to him for letting me know! He would have seen an Indian ordering something which hsa beef :)

Taste buds wake up and accept new things coming your way. At least try!
