New Suit

So, i went out on a 80 mile road up 35/9 today with the new suit on. I had tough time putting the suit on at the first place, Ya, Daniel did tell me that the suit will be super tight and i will be slipping. So i did slip. And, anyways it was raining today so i wanted to be more cautious. My average speed was 50-55 mph. Well, on 35 after Alice's not a human being, car or bike on road. Probably everyone is in home due to the rains. For me, ride anytime rain or shine !!!!

Am going for a 25/198 Coalinga ride tomorrow with Prabhat. Good to meet an Indian rider on Barf. The roundtrip ride will be close to 400 miles. I dont like small rides anyways. I believe my new suit will break-in more and all set for my trackday on Oct 13/14

Well, on the professional front, very busy with PCI Audit, have been reviewing all Network ACLs and doing a call with the India team everyday from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM. Very tiring -- office, gym and then call. I wish this ends soon.

So whats upcoming ?

I have the Corp DMZ move from SC4 datacenter to SC9 datacenter scheduled Oct 10. After that, i have to visit Denver, CO to finish up some DR work. My fall roadtrip is also planned during the same timeframe. So my target is Utah, Oregon and DR work. Hopefully i should cover it within 15 days. My DR work is actually 3 days, but i told the company it will take 7 days, damn angrez dont understand a shit !! and anyways they bloat stuff, so why not me. At least i buy 4 days time here.

Am no taking any off for December, will be mostly at CA (and of course riding and trackdays, eagerly waiting for the Laguna trackday on November). I might also finish my AFF class as well. I am die'ing to go back to free fall/ski diving. I initially had plans to go to NZ / Cooks Island but no money as of now. Tickets are too costly for December :-(

I may go to India on Feb, provided my trip to Fairbanks/Alaska to watch Northern Lights syncs up. My first preference is to view Northern Lights though. I just put in a request to my manager for 1.5 months vacation time and i know he will not disagree. Feb i will be at India, with 1 week at Bangalore, checking out the flat status and meeting my India team members and March; first two weeks at Fairbanks/Alaska. Hopefully everything turns out good.

What else ...... N95 V3 is woring great. Installed lots of appls .. still need to make the VPN working through. but overall very satisified with the purchase, even though its a second hand.

Me and Prasanna had Tequilla today. Loooooooooooong time no drinks !!!! felt real good. I took 3 shots, thats enuf for me for today. I have a 400 mile ride tomorrow.

Its Durga Puja festival at Calcutta, and i miss it so much. Its been 7 years now that i didnt see Durga Puja there. My mom is Secretary this year and she is working very hard, as usual.

I dont have anything to add to my gadget inventory yet, but i am die'ing to get the Canon EOS 1D camera, maybe if i get a bonus start of next year, i will buy it.

"Alls well that ends well" as Captain Haddock said, everything is going good for me until now. I try to forget the past, but several things just come in everyday to my thought. But, yeah !!!! live with it. Thats what life is all about.

Marriage front -- well, my mom is pestering me a lot, but i need to find someone who will gell with me. I think i found someone, have been talking to her last couple of days, but i still need to be cautious, after my last great f***ing incident at London. My blog is public, and she reads it, hopefully, she does not become bad after listening to my statements :-) but honestly, i need a friend not a wife !!!!!
