home, foosball and dhamaal
It has been over a month since my last post. My home pc was without a net connection all this while and was obviously an object of no attention . The last few weeks have been full of action .
Gave two presentations at office. First one was decent while I was faultless in screwing up the second.
Purchased a flat, well almost. For those homo sapiens following this blog ( oh god, let there be atleast one other than me. Amen), my search for the dream car has ended. Looks like my first car will be a Santro xing . Ironically the search for the dream car got converted into the search for a home after endless unsolicited streams of gyaan people gave me saying that it is foolish to buy a car when you dont even have a own house. This somehow clicked to the ant sized functioning portion of my brain. And now, I am almost done with the home loan processing .
Buying a house to be able to buy a car!. So that you dont have to hear the abundant free verdicts every living individual on this earth will give saying "You have not managed your money well".
Well , its not as bad as it sounds . I didnot consider a home loan earlier because I fear commitment. I fear commmitment because I am absolutely , completely , positively , all-parts-of-speech-that-end-with-ly clueless about my future. Anyway, now that I have a house, I am all set for a car, unless anything gyaanful happens again.
Another development in the last month was the arrival of a foosball table at office . ( table football .. the game joey and chandler are seen playing ) It was a welcome change for me (see prev post on bowling). Foosball soon became a symbol of I-want-an-excuse-from-work solidarity and soon we were seen taking small "work" breaks out of the foos ball sessions. Our love for the game was apparent in the form of broken rods and a non-functioning table, which eventually got replaced by a new one. The new table is on its journey towards complete destruction at an ever increasing pace. For me , foosball is worth mentioning because I have been playing decently well. This premise holds good based on the only fact that I was able to learn it faster than others. However, as others are also catching up , I think I will soon take saniyas with a few early wins, and you know why.
Nah , it doesnt look like the enthu will subside soon.
