Last few weeks

It's been a while after I have blogged. Don't know what happened to all that interest from first two weeks after starting blogging.
Nevertheless, lot has happened in last few weeks...

1. A really fun-filled trip to Vancouver that, to name a few, included

  • Stay in a five-start waterfront hotel
  • Looking at tiny cars and crossroads from the hotel room in the 18th floor
  • Falling asleep looking at city skyline
  • Waking 2 minutes in the morning to see waterfront
  • Wondering why the Starbucks girl gave a chai latte with extra syrup when I asked for a simple latte...
  • Having fun in snow for hours
  • Cribbing about Seattle rain as soon as Sun is spotted in Vancouver
  • Asking waiter at the Tropika if water bottle is free of charge
  • Wondering why there is a flashing green signal in Canada
  • Buying a jacket on Robson street
  • Driving an hour to reach Jyothi Sweets, waiting 15 minutes before getting jalebi and chai, and enjoying warm jalebi after years...
  • Walking on the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge ( it is free :):):))
  • Clicking and posing forcountless pictures
  • Remember the honk in front of the hotel.. DCs...
2. A hectic move: Though the new place just 4 houses away from the old one, a move is a move- it is hectic.

3. Getting early morning calls from NOC for three cnescutive days and having to drive to office in the weekend. Spending 400 daytime minutes on office conference calls... By design, LSs...

4. So many movies watched:
  • 'The Prestige' ***
  • 'When a stranger calls' **
  • 'Dhoom 2' **
  • 'Pokiri' **
  • 'Superman returns' **
  • 'Anjali' ****
  • 'Vivah' *
  • 'Roja' ****
  • 'The Departed' ***
  • 'Casion Royale' ***
  • 'Happy Feet' ***
  • 'Cars' ****
    I am sure I missed many others...

5. Mixed feelings about Seahawks losses to MIN/KC/SFO, and wins against OAK/STL/DEN.
