So Long!

I am on the Interstate, driving behind one of those cars that are not exactly slow but traveling at a nagging pace. By nagging pace I mean those 68 miles/hr 'ers when you can easily do 70miles/hr . The guy is not slow enough for you to be able to pass him but irritatingly not fast enough cos of which you have to keep applying the brakes. So now you have 2 options, either accelerate to about 74-75 miles/hr and hope that you are not caught for speeding or continue to be nagged. No point to this, just something I find irksome, especially since my last post dealt with my quirkiness too.

The previous week I was in Portland again, this time on work. I experienced again, everything that I have come to love. If you ever happen to be in Portland, or driving past Portland, do consider taking exit 289 (Sherwood) on I-5 that takes you through the forest for about 10 miles before you can re-join the Interstate. Will give you a brief idea of what Portland is all about. We had our end of season Saturday night bash where I discovered one of the funniest guys I have met, Nishant. Lot of dinners, lots of lunches, mouth-watering mutton dished out in various forms, bakhlava, chicken cafia, so on and so forth. Saturday night Dandiya and Garba was the awesome-the-ness. I danced after such a long time, total dhamaal.

Having said that I think it's time to move on. I am too attached to Portland for my own good. Not that I mind getting pampered, not in the least, but I gotta move on, really. On my flight back I realized I am holding on to something that really doesn't belong to me now. And like I have come to live, I refuse to give anything the power to control me. This is the nature of anything that's good, it comes to an end at some point and that's just how it is. But I think I am enthu enough to look forward to something new. Portland is not going to feature in any of my future plans, at least for some time. A tad sad but it's cool, I couldn't be complaining considering the amount He continues to bless me.

East Coast might get hit upon more often now. I am thinking of finally visiting Raleigh, I don't think the guys there will believe me :) ... but maybe I should pay them a visit. I am pretty desperate to go to Boston, one of the two cities alongwith Chicago on my list not yet done but I am not sure if I have close enough friends to visit them. Some day I will.

Ooh!! (I had to write this) all this I write/type on my brand new Lenovo Thinkpad. Yeah baby!!
No I ain't bragging, just you know, FYI ... ;)
