I like doing nothing

NYC was fabulous. Boston done. Portland beautiful as ever. Only Chicago remains. Now I would like to catch up on some sleep. Tonight will watch a movie, dinner at home and pelke sleep.

I am working this weekend, yes I know it sucks but tonight is my break night. Just laze at home, good movie and hopefully tomorrow doesn't come. Actually what I would like most is December 10th comes tomorrow...and of course India vacation lasts forever. I don't think I am going to be doing much before that. Maybe a ski trip and something for Thanksgivings. That's it.

I am itching to get back home..

What's in the Name?

A lot. Consider this: "Oommen"

Think (and carefully re-read the spelling) about this word I just typed above. Whoever came up with this name for the first time in human history was most definitely out of his mind or drunk or wasn't serious about it. But evidently someone was and went ahead with it. And whoever followed it up and continued with it was not only out of his mind but thought it would be fun to see how long it lasted.

I have always wondered what went through my grandpa's mind when he named Dad "Oommen". I love grandpa a lot so I am going to keep it at that. What's equally weird is that mallus for some reason find it profound thinking to give the son, in inheritance, as surname, his Dad's name. What joy, no? (else I would've been Binoy Abraham)

Maybe, just maybe I won't let that guy have so much fun.

Near Perfection

Boston. Done.
Living in Manhattan. Done.
Saturday Night at Times Square with a close friend. Done.
US Open, Arthur Ash Stadium, Courtside, Elena Dementieva - Samantha Stosur, cheering Elena till I lose my voice. Done.
Lunch at Little Italy. Done.

Done - Dona - Done... Done. (OK, I agree that was lame but I'll let it be)

Maybe Liverpool at Anfield next? Why not?

Koi Shakh?!? Aich! Life is bhery bhery good. :)
