Back Again

Darn, I kind of did not return back to blog'ing even after my commitment last year. However, an incident today made me decide. I SHOULD WRITE SOMETHING EVERYDAY ....

I practically worked the entire day today, wanted to test out Vmware on my new HP laptop to prepare the imaging infrastructure for the Denver DataCenter build. the build is complete and I have to test it out tomorrow. My biggest fault, I wait till the last minute. I cooked after a long time and made Macaroni. It was so hot that I had to turn the air-condition on. Evening i decided, enough of working .. lets go for a movie. Hopped into Puneet's car, man i love driving the new Honda Civic and went to my fav theatre, AMC Mercado. NEXT was the movie which i watched today. Nicolas Cage was good, but the movie's story was weak. Overall time-pass movie. Now, coming back to what made be start my blog ..... After a quick Starbucks Coffee while i was driving back home, I saw an old man waving a red flash light in the middle of San Tomas Expwy. I did not see his car, so evident he was either stranded or had other intentions. Nevertheless, somewhere, deep within myself I felt that I should help him. I heard a lot from so-called long staying Indians in America not to help strangers on road (90% of the so-called long staying Indians suggest wrong) . I took an U-turn on Forbes, and went to that man .. He did not look frightening and was very polite. Apparently, his car broke down and his girl-friend refused to drop him back home. He stayed at Campbell Ave, so i offered to drop him. From him, I came to know at East it was 95 today ... wow !! no wonder it was so hot in afternoon ... Bike Riding time is back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So what do you think folks? Did i do a good job today, whoever says anything I dont care, I was satisfied and I think I did a good job by helping out someone. Afterall, you can afford not to have 2 legs in America but without a car .. noway, you are paralized. I know how it is without a car. I cycled 3 months in rain .. up-down from datacenter to Redwood City.

I have to pick up Bibek tomorrow from SFO Airport and also need to take out Prashant and Shashi for sight-seeing. Not sure where to go for couple of hours. Maybe a ride to Highway-1.

Adieu, Good Night
