Thinking has not stopped in the last few days either… so there is so much that I have thought that it’s virtually impossible to write everything down… only if there was a gadget that I could connect to my brain and it could put everything on a text file in a CD or something!!!!

Anyway… there was a welcome break to this thinking stuff with a drive to Agra last Friday…

Agra has always been once of my favorite places for a lot of reasons… to name a few The TAJ MAHAL (I love that place)… Agra Fort, RadhaSwami Temple in Dayalbagh, Fatehpur Sikri etc etc… Add Sikandra to the list post this trip 🙂

The 6 trips before this weekend saw me visiting the Taj and then any two of the rest of the list… and end the trip with some Lassi in Vrindavan… this time… Vrindavan did not happen, however the new things were the Lunch at Reliance A1 Plaza outside Mathura on the road towards Delhi and the visit to Sikandra….

Do I even need to say that I love my car more after every drive… she rocks at 110 kmph… there might be issues with the initial pickup with the way I drive coz I am not too hard on the accelerator, but once its over 2500 rpm, it can beat the shit out of most of the cars on the road today 🙂 love you baby!!!

Infact another couple of days, Radha would be celebrating her second birthday as well… 22nd September to be precise 🙂

Some other stuff worth writing about:

~ Meeting Abhishek on Sunday… it was after quite sometime that we talked… and the first time after school that I could find out what was he doing all these years and how did he end up in London… it was wonderful conversation… and was also followed by the usual conversations which you can have with anyone who has lived in a country other then India for a while… he was not too critical of the situation here, however there was an obvious dissatisfaction in his voice about how things are here in India…

I personally feel that in India, we try to copy only the end result of most of the things that happen in the firangland without really bothering to know the end to end process… and that means that we end up messing a lot of things up !!!

~ Talked to Rohit about something he does not like to talk about… Generation Gap… I think when I was in college, the means of communication were so limited that most of the information usually got transferred only through the word of mouth as compared to things like cell phones, blogs, internet, emails etc etc today… and that has really helped everyone in ensuring that they learn whatever they want to and communicate whenever they can… resulting in a lot of kids knowing a lot more then what I used to know when I was there age, resulting in awareness about a lot of career options and the accessibility to much more information then I ever had….

~ And then, I also had to explain myself to a dear friend of mine… why I do what I do… and why was I not coming up to her expectations of communication… thats another story, but that left me kinda irritated with myself… I know I am not doing anything bad, but just that its not good enough either… so the question explanation session… phew!!! I hate being in such a position…

Oh… and I have 4 different varieties of Petha with me at home… Angoori Petha, Angoori Kesar Petha, Giri Petha, and the sada Petha… with some DalMoth as well from Agra… NO NO… No one is invited… I am just trying to make you jealous: D
