Well whats up guyss.....its been a long time since I wikiblogged.... guess its been work work and more work.. When i created this page I was living in Morrisville PA and working in Trenton as a software consultant and since then I have moved and now reside in Herndon VA. I moved to VA last year in January and initially was residing in Reston. I also had the nerve to think of buying a house inspite of being a consultant something that my friend K a finance guy had laughed off as not possible, a pipe dream for a consultant of course for the simple reason that a consultant is like a bedouin. My thinking was the project would go on for a 2-3 year period and since the real estate rates had dropped dramatically I did get a great deal. Unfortunately 3-4 months after buying the house the project ended and now I was in a dilemna since I knew that the next project could have been anywhere in the US. Weirdly enough i got another project again in Reston but the hourly contractor rate was pathetic for a person with my experience. So I knew that I was still not out of the woods and was seriously in touch with my banker the guy who helped me buy the house to now do the reverse. Luckily things finally worked out after a dozen prospective buyers checked out the house and finally one thought it worthy enough to pay around 12 k more than what I had bought it for. Will continue with more about my life in Herndon in my next wikiblog

Hmm guess I have a lil bit of free time on my hands here at office. So I thought well why not put it to use. One of the most interesting things that I started dabbling with out here in Herndon is Karaoke. I always had an innate desire to sing, which had remained hidden deep within, covered up by the cobwebs of the many mundane things that take up life's precious moments. Ned Devines a pub located very close to the townhouse in which i rented a room was an ideal joint to experiment with my possible talent. The event started at around 930 pm but truly started picking up after 10 and went on to the wee hours till it finally ended at 2 am. There were some regulars that i made friends with and I started off with my favorite karaoke song Wish you were here by Pink Floyd since I had done this 2 years back in a Kroke joint in PA. But playing safe was boring as it usually is but thats how my mind works ..cant help it or recondition it for that matter. I then ventured out to songs which i had heard a million times on my ipod or had viewed a zillion times on you tube like wonderwall by oasis, yesterday and something in the way by the beatles, great pretender by the platters, red red wine by neil diamond etc. The whole kroke drama began since i was on bench without any work during november and december and thus had quite a lot of time on my hands to try out some new stuff. But January 2010 and a new project and what luck it was in Herndon so no relocation wowww.... Heres to lot more kroke times at Herndon. Slowly I now plan to venture out to more kroke bars in Herndon like Mahalos Cove at Sterling and Chammps in Reston. Lets see how things work out there. That might work out to another chapter in my Karaoke yarn....

Hmmm..looks like i got plenny o time on mah hands officially..lol. Enjoying my new green ipod shuffle these days and oh the audio quality reaches heights greater than mt everest and k2 put together. My ipod sure is greener than the grass on the other side. Its been quite a boring day apart from me setting up an application on my weblogic app server so that I can start developing some mundane reports on a tool that goes bt name Crystal reports. Well another reporting tool to adorn my raunchy resume. By the way did I mention that I am becoming a regular at the gym which shouldnt sound weird cause its right opposite to my office and hence should be a cinch to go over and exercise. Also this monday had been to a Salsa dance class and twas great fun and met some great people out there. More later if you like to watch this space.....

Friday of this week and nice weather...seems like snowy weather has finally subsided and spring is knocking on the door. Really getting keen to play tennis in the outdoors. At the moment gymming is the only way out to enjoy some physical activity. Not sure exactly how the evening is planned out whether to go for a movie, read a book certainly not watch TV, maybe go out and have dinner. Hmmmmmmm lezzzzz zeeeee....
