Time Flies..

Hey everyone, long time! (How many readers do I have left now? 5? 4? Sigh..) August got over and September dawned (As if you didn't know that). Usain Bolt remains the fastest human on Earth and Force India got a podium finish for the first time in F1 championship (Do I think you live in a different world?). Okay am just rambling before I can think what to write about. It's been long and I been lazy. Procrastination is my blood group. Sigh..

My school friend Asim came down to Bangalore last month to visit us from New Delhi. 'Us' consists of other school friends from IISR in the city, namely Rizwan, Aftab, me etc. To nobody's surprise, he found the city totally awesome (we took him to all the right places.. *wink wink*). A road trip to Mysore, south Indian food, visit to National park etc all made sure he wasn't bored here. It's nice to have friends meeting up after ages. Nostalgic all the way..

Rains have started finally the way they were supposed to start and it's nice Bangalore vintage weather. But sadly this year the good weather has been hampered with everyone around falling ill to a result of assorted flus, fevers and diseases! Rizwan my neighbor (and school friend) contracted typhoid and is going through misery. Two of my co-workers (but from different departments) have been diagnosed with swine flu and handed indefinite leave of absence. Anyone without a fever or an illness at least once is unheard of. It's the season of the sick. We need your prayers.

Dad came to Bangalore for his annual vacation. We bought a new car. For me that means more of driver duty. Last week of August saw the arrival of Ramadan. Fasting started, schedules turned tighter and we had as usual a lot of get togethers and endless parties around familyville. This month I'm scheduled to fly to Riyadh for my annual visa renewal. Can't really take the fact that I came back from my vacation just 11 months back. Time sure does fly. I hope between my next post and this one it doesn't. Untill next time, Cheers..
