Yeahhh, a car ran over my iPhone and crushed it. Dramatic, rare and lovely, isn't it? :P

I watched End of Days a couple weeks ago and it was one of my favourite movies when it had first come out. With that sparkle we have when we do something we loved as kids, I watched the whole movie, cheesy Arnold action scenes and exaggeration of everything that relies on faith and evil. But at the end, I could only think, what waste, pushing all kinds religious propaganda in the movie. And.. they showed computers translating an ancient language to English, real time, that was being chanted. Wait, real time translation is not possible. Why the hell to movies insist on showing stupid things like hacking into computers and networks to be so damn easy! Translations and chatting with robots, and cute envelopes popping out saying, you've got mail, just don't happen. Get over it! Am I too old?

Super busy with work and studies and other academic projects, or at least, I should be keeping busy if I hope to finish everything off on time. ;) Have 3 projects at hand outside of work and all of them are interesting, intriguing, of course at different levels.
I signed on to Twitter and concluded it is as dumb as I had expected it to be. Micro-blogging social network, sure, it is going to be a hit among people, just like MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, Hi5 etc etc, for people who have nothing better to do than look for gossip and advertise their life, displaying all the colourful feathers... I could go on... but I am part of the same crowd. Ohh well. If only I could make money off ranting, I'd be a millionaire :P

My car, something is wrong with it. And after spending the first 3 weeks at 4 different mechanics and having a whole bunch of parts changed leaving me really bankrupt, all the mechanics unanimously decided that the car is a gone case. They can't fix it. So, I need a new one. But with the economy crisis and me being and international student/worker, I can't get a laon. Isn't that just dandy. But, I don't mind. It just means a few more days with my ailing/dying first love haha... see, I have learnt a lot from life. I have learnt better than to let go of half baked relationships because once baked, they might have been an award winning delicacy, and I can never stop wondering. My car, my first love, my moments of happiness and a source of constant excitement, support and freedom. Helped me learn driving. It is going to be impossible to let go, no matter how much he has abused me. Aren't we just suckers for abuse.
About 2.5-3 years left for me to complete my masters, and I just can't wait. I need to be home, I need to be with my family, my loved ones need me as much as I need them and I can't see any reason for me throwing away my life here; for living comfort.... well at -30 degrees, f*** comfort! Just being able to wake up with my family, being able to talk to them and fight with them and eat with them... being part of their little laughters and celebrations and big sorrows, just living life.
At times, life seems so confusing, so choking, meaningless. I don't know how everyone copes with it. I don't understand what anyone else would do, how other people feel about things they face in everyday life. Because I just can not process the emotional labyrinth to life's ways. But one thing is for sure, it is as pointless as it gets! You live, you slog, you die.

Ohh and with the gas prices the lowest in the last 4 years and still going down steadily, I am having wayyy too much fun driving my 6 cylinder car. And to all those suckers who made fun of me for having a gas guzzler, catch up with me on the highway first to talk! And on top of that, I think Canada can use some good dozes of global warming anyway! PS: No, that was just for the sake of argument, I recycle everything, bottles, cans, paper, cardboard, clothes, gifts, code... :P PPS: I am not rejoicing the fact that gas prices are going down because it is causing havoc to the lives of so many hard working people, just sad. Damn America!
Ohhh, people who have not seen the movie Wuthering Heights or read the book either, should do atleast one of those depending on which one time permits them! It will be worth it. Its about revenge. Its about love. About selfishness and destruction. About being passionate about the one most important thing in life.

Anyway, courses and work going... Did not eat turkey for the ThanksGiving long weekend, did not get drunk for the long weekend either Lol. I'm getting old heh? Well, there was a pile of work/school stuff waiting to be done because I played truant all week last week. Fair enough.
Getting chilly, trees are getting colourful. Very pretty indeed. Maybe I'll drive around sometime this week taking photos. Fall never fails to impress and awe.
I want some chocolate. Damn. Parents, you should come visit me Fall 2009. It is so quite in my apartment.
Wanna party this Friday, lets see...

I moved. Yeah, I moved out of the apartment which I was sharing with Tapajyoti and Lala (and accidentally bunch of other people too!!!) for over 6 years to my own little place. All by myself, I'm a big girl now :D Its clean, its peaceful, no stress, no piles of dirty dishes or pee on the toilet seat, no need to socialize unless I actively want to, I love the freedom! I have matching dishes and bowls and a set of martini glasses lols. And a very cute little water fountain for the living room that makes the gurgling sound, just like I always wanted. Going to the gym everyday, reading up quite a bit; What more could a girl ask for?
The new job is going pretty well, its challenging, but the people I work with are extremely smart, they keep me on my toes. And my bosses are complete sweethearts. And, I started my masters, at last; Taking NLP and almost already obsessed with it.
Life is good. Yeah, life is good.

And... I gave into the sins of life and lust for technology and bought myself an iPhone. I swear, there were those marketing people at the store, who pushed me over the edge ;) but hell, I love it! Yeahhhhh, it is definitely one of the best phones I have used, the battery life is not the best and it is not the tiniest of phones but, the touch screen fantasy, the GPS, the sms-ing interface, the search, the UI all together, the aesthetics, yes Apple, I concede. I am officially in an obsessive love with it right now. All I need to do next, is jail-break it ;) which should not be the hardest job! And, after a couple pay checks, there is a Panasonic camera that I have completely been drooling over for a couple months, and I am so getting it!
Work is going pretty well, I am enjoying it, its not stressful, its not easy, it is just right. The people are pretty nice, so lets see where this takes me in life.
Life in general, is not bad. I think I am getting along, I am scared every now and then, have confidence lapses and anxiety gets the better of me, but hell, its not bad.

BTW, the weekend was fun, we had a BBQ, and the food turned out good, people had fun... we went to a party hosted by Mausum and that was fun too. I went to a baseball game, Dykes vs Divas and it was hilarious. I did not get to talk a lot with parents and friends from home.. I am sure they feel a little mad but hey, I love you guys ok.
Its still raining outside. Ummm... yeahhh, it makes for a heavy heart. And my car is now short one leg... what would I ever do without my car. I know, I know, love for a inanimate object should never be so real, but hey... its my first car and a lot lot more!

Last 2 weeks, I gained 2 kilos! Haha.. I am keeping my spirits up, (in the metaphysical form, not liquid), not sad or upset, its just life. In fact, I am going to the gym keeping a clean house, reading a new Stephen Hawking book, dressing up in the evenings to just go drink coffee, keeping on top of all the world news, talking to my parents over and hour every day, its pretty cool.
I am currently solving a Java program... yeahhh not C++ or C, which would have taken me a couple hours but Java, using Eclipse no less. Well, I might as well learn it since half the world is using it. But.. its fun. Hell yeah. Job or no job, I feel a thrill when I am writing code. Its like lovers re-uniting... now now, let my car not get jealous. ;) Lols.
PS: I watched Wall-E. If you are reading my blog, you are one of those people who will surely really really really enjoy it.

I am now an official full time loser. I spend all my hours after work on Digg.com! I read the articles, the comments and go so many pages in... Even follow the drama, the action, the... Damn. Some unsocial bitch I am.
And Tapajyoti, thanks for commenting, I have been busy with this and that, (read: nothing!), I guess I have just lost my creative touch ;)

Something is wrong with me. I seem to have a complete disregard for men, I don't flirt, I don't watch out for them, or try and entertain them. In fact, at the gym (which I have started going to again, yayyy even if only for the next few days :P), I go to the women only section, which is surprising considering that I had gone to the mens only gym in Calcutta to request them to allow girls in, I was very excited when our school got co-ed, I am always found among guys. Somewhere down the line, I have started thinking I AM one of them or have simply gotten bored. Ohh gawd, please don't grow me a di** because I love to be able to think with my brains. Yeah yeah, sue me for saying that.
Weather here is silly, its overcast and hot. Well, Canada hot, not 40+ hot, 40+ is not hot, its bloody hell. When under the sun, the leather seats heat up pretty bad and scorch my bum.
Work.. duh. Finished most part of my project, just refactoring code, cleaning up, documenting and all that. Ohh, I love coding, I could code all day long but these formalities, as important as they are, just make me sleepy.
Whats up with the bluetooth headsets? I bought 2 already and spend good bucks on them but they are all too BIG for my ears! So, are these only for giants or are my ears specifically miniature? They always just slip out of my earlobe, and it would not even be so hard for them to make the size customizable. Damn those engineers (Huge eared?).

I got into the Masters program at Dalhousie University :D yayyyyy to me hahaha... A step towards my goal, Yeahhh... I am NOT going to skip classes or assignments this time round, I am going to be a good student *cough cough in the background*. Anyway, I am really happy. I mean, its like a step. A step towards the conclusion of a grand plan (well, its grand to only me).
The temperature in Halifax in Fahrenheit is equal to the temperature in Calcutta in Celsius. Scary stuff!
I am really enjoying work. Go figure~ My project has evolved and is taking shape and looking to be a star. :)
Lala is back from India and Tapajyoti is planning to go sometime in between August-December. I am going too.. in two years time. (I'll admit, I do feel very very scared at the thought of having to leave Canada, and I am sure it is not much unexpected. My love is there but my life is here... )
My lover and bf is very narcissistic, and insists on me posting a picture of us together. ;)

Work is going superb, I guess thats what keeps me going now, other than the fact that I have the two best parents on earth. Yes, together, they make me who I am, they make up for my best friends and for everything that I want and lack and appreciate. Within my, around me.
I realized that anger is my greatest enemy, it downright sucks me of my energy and concentration. But it also makes me who I am. The passion, the attitude and the occasional major f*** up. Hehe..

Haven't been to the gym in a week, Akshay left for India yesterday, Swati and Jay leaving soon too. They gave a surprise party for the leaving and for my Birthday, yippeeee. It was a LOT of fun, I was impressed. Man, Halifax will become boring all over again with no one around. But I will get enough time to go to the gym regularly hehehe!
I managed to scavenge a lot of my blog from the yahoo search engine cache. Google somehow had managed to delete my blog from its cache. Jerks! Haha.. so, I formatted it and put it back up.
Work is going pretty well. I am actually enjoying what I am doing, A LOT! I am working on an AJAX application, Java-Firebird backend. Whatever the heck that means. Its hard work, but its fun. No matter what, there are days when I just feel.. I was born to code, to create, to innovate!
My car made a world record, it has not been to the mechanic in 3 weeks now! Haha.. I love my car. Its a proud, moody, narcissistic jerk but I love it. Life is good. Yeahhh...
