Just thinking aloud....

(Vi)Desh
It has been almost 20 days since I spoke to anyone in Hindi, and believe me it doesn't feel that good. I had been waiting for that day when I would actually get a chance to speak my language, and it happened last evening. I had purchased too much of stuff for my empty home, that I needed to call a cab. The cab arrived at the store, the driver got out and asked "Kahan jana hai?". It was a bliss to hear that question being posed, and my ecstasy had no bounds. The whole ride back home, the sardarji continued his conversation in a tongue much familiar a..n...d.......m...u....c...h.........l...i..k...e.d...........

Eight Thirty to Five Thirty
Each day, every week, I am on the 16th floor of 555 on 12th Street. It is the third Monday that I am here, and it has become quite familiar. Right in downtown Oakland, overlooking the Bay, it is an awesome view from here. Very unlike the countryside where I am living, Fremont. But even the contrast is appealing. The 30 mile long train ride gets me here, the day begins with work, not too much but keeps me busy. But by the time I reach home it is already dark, and I cannot appreciate the niceties of the locale.....????

Variety
Today is a day of no work in office, I am just here/ have to be here.....So I was reading through blogs, and relating them to my own. People write about feelings, or opinions or thoughts. I am only able to write about the events. I somehow just think about incidents to narrate, and never feel the need to share a thought. This could be because I am not able to express myself or do not think much about things. I can believe both of them. ......

SO basically I am not able to write anything. Just because I have nothing to do right now I thought I would better post something, just to keep the flow going. But again it is a time of zero productivity. I will sometime write better.

Thoughts, feelings and concerns have not caught up yet with the pace with which things have been happening. Each day has something different to show. The pace has been tormenting but fun, and hopefully will continue like this.
