What's the matter?

I still haven't found a job. I don't have time. What am I doing wrong? Why is it so hard to just get a job!!

Still hoping that things work out soon.

Hopeless...Confused....Still hoping!

I don't know whats wrong. Its like i just hit a wall. I don't know what to do, how and where to start. What will happen in the next moments. Its like I am just forced to go with the flow and I am hopelessly flowing with it. What's in it for me??!!! How will I get what I hoped for!!!?

I really hope that I pull it all together, as soon as possible. Time is changing sides.

One of these mornings, Won't be very long, You will look for me, And I'll be gone.

Payday^

Well I got my first pay check here. Man, they have paydays every two weeks. That’s so cool. Never have to wait an entire month to see money in your account!! Still waiting for my SSN. Will have a phone and internet then. So eager to get back in touch with my world again.

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity!! B-T T

More in the near future.

Nostalgia!??

I really don’t know what prompted me to write this. I guess, it was long overdue. Anyway, it’s so weird; I just felt like writing all this down but really don’t have appropriate words to describe it. Well slowly settling in Louisville, work is good. Don’t know many people here yet, apart from work really have nothing to do. And it’s very cold, worse than Switzerland actually.

Well, I was listening to some Hindi songs. Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) movie/soundtrack, I remembered that when Dad and I were on our way to Mumbai we watched this one on the bus. We went to meet Mama (uncle); I was going to see him after nearly 2.5 years. It was so good to see them all. But the song which really brought everything up in my mind is the song from the movie Kismet Connection (2008). I remembered that day, 09/01/2009, Friday. Dad and I saw this movie on the bus on the way back to Pune from Mumbai. I have such a dodgy feeling right now. Nevertheless, at that time it hit me hard, real hard that I had just 1 week to leave for US. It was a very memorable trip with my Dad. We had to walk quiet a lot because of the nationwide truckers’ strike and because of that there was no fuel in Mumbai. So no taxis just buses and they were so packed. It was stressful, but some way or the other we made it everywhere that too on time. Thanks to Dad, he is such a great chap. Well he also got a new car the day we left for the visa, 08/01/2009. It was so great…

Then we were back again in Mumbai, nearly a week after with the new car. You know, no matter how much time I (you) spend with your parents or even in Pune (at home), it’s always too less. I (you) always wish that I (you) could have some more time to spend and I will be with all of the folks back home. I hope you agree. But well…

Thanks Dad, Mom I could never had done all this without your unconditional support. I owe you so much; words are not capable of describing it. I miss you so much. Not forgetting, all my friends back home and all of you who I met in Suisse. It’s always great to think about all the times we all spent together. I wish that it may never end and we continue to have great time and keep bumping into each other frequently!! Hope to see you all soon. Time flies you know.

Missing Pune, Bouveret, Zurich and Montreux very much.

Take care ya’ll!!

Of gas, fake fish and stuff...

Officially starting work tomorrow. The coworkers seem nice, lets see how they really are in due course. Signed the lease for the apartment, opened an account, shopped at Walmart for apartment supplies and the only thing remaining is the phone. I will have that after I get my SSN.

Yesterday, I was at the doctor for the mandatory pre-employment drug test with my colleague. I saw on the TV an astonishing news. I am sure, anything and mostly everything weird has to happen in the US!! The news was about fake olive oil, fake chips and fake fish!! In many places, there was fake fish being sold in the market; namely salmon and cod. The fish meat is artificially flavored and colored. So ridiculous!! I thought India and China were good in this, but hats off to the guys in US.

Anyway the other day I was having coffee with my Indian colleague. She said the most awesomely brilliant thing. The conversation went,"They should start this in India, its so like clean, you know." I say,"What should they start?" "They use 'gas' as fuel here, everything runs on it, not petrol!" I reply,"Yes we have that in India as well, but mostly buses or taxis run on CNG (gas) as fuel, but we use mostly petrol or diesel for vehicles. She started arguing and tried to prove her point that we don't use 'gas' in India as fuel for vehicles. Then I realized what she meant, she misunderstood 'gas' (GASOLINE) as gas (CNG). When I said its the same as petrol as Americans call 'petrol' as 'gas' and that's the reason why they call petrol stations as gas stations. But she refused to accept the fact. I gave up saying please look it up on the net and get some proper information. She reluctantly accepted that she was wrong (stupid!) Like I said in the previous post, she is a bit slow. She really doesn't get simple things, always asks some stupid questions from time to time inspite of the a certain thing being just told! Well I will have to put up with this for a year. I am ready for the fight anyway.

Will order some food now, really hungry. Feeling a bit dodgy today, a bit lonely. Was great talking to my folks after a few days. Well more later.

Pune-Bouveret-Zurich-Montreux-Louisville!!

I'm back and in the US (surprisingly). The journey was ok, had one of my schoolmate with me so was not boring at all. Once in US, was so lucky to have all sorts of delays at the Newark and Chicago airport, bad weather being the first. Everything was so mismanaged, no proper notifications that the flights were running late. The transition here was OK, slowly getting used to the American way of life(blaahhh), Europe was and is way better. The only thing is that US is cheaper than CH. I will say that I am lucky to get something over here, most of mes amis don't have anything on their hands as yet. I hope they all get here soon, it will be one hell of a party. All the best to all of them, they will surely find something soon.

I'm in Louisville, KY. Its a cool place, not too hectic. Plenty of stuff to do around here apart from work. I have to look for some kind of a sports club or just a gym. Good food, friendly and helpful locals, alcohol (Bourbon Country baby!!!). I'm content. On the downside, many homeless people here; always asking one for some money, food or a ciggy. One of them even asked me n my friend while we were walking around whether we were willing to share a beer with him in a pub he was standing outside!!! Dodgy!!! The picture over here is the view of the downtown skyline as seen from my hotel room.

Well I am staying in the hotel itself, all expenses paid till I move into an apartment after I get my SSN. Its cool, staff are very very casual; so casual that the waiters even ask each other whether one of them wants to step out for a smoke. And all this right in front of the guests! Well food in the hotel is great, huge portions. Not much to do in the room apart from watching TV. And there is an Indian girl working here, starting at the same time as me. To be frank, she is a bit annoying, doesn't get plain english that much, asks too many questions, has a funny lisp and has no idea of how even the simplest things work in this world. (Murkha ahe!!) Well the only Indian in the hotel apart from moi so no more complaints.

More later as will figure out things here. Plus tôt...
