I will leave in an hours time. I am packed with my iPod and two books, Happy potter and Alexander. See you later. Major design change in the code I am working on.. hopefully for better. Listening to "Bhaage re mann" from Chameli. Cool song. I think I _NEED_ to listen to songs to concentrate. Just finished playing Table-Tennis (or Ping-Pong.. depending on your geographical location). This has been the latest addition to my list of hobbies. Everyday I play atleast for an hour after lunch. Am not very good at it but not bad either. And I am improving. In my opinion it improves your concentration but distacts you in your work. Thats some irony.. isnt it? :) It is a slow day. Just finished a slow meeting. Life, in general, has been slow for last one month. But not for long. Because in the noon I booked my ticket for Pune.

I am leaving on 29th and will reach there, after 15 hours, on 30th morning. Again, after a break for 9 hours, I will take off (in a bus!) for Amravati and will reach there, after 12 hours, on 1st morning. That sounds like.. umm.. 27 hours in bus. Amazing. I am looking forward to it as an adventure, something that I can tell my grad kids about. I'll be surprised if I could walk after the jeourney. From Amravati I will go to Mumbai, by train this time on sunday. And from their I will take off (this time.. literally!) for bangalore to reach here on tuesday.

I am sure, after this jeourney, I will be looking forward to slow days like today. Even though i havnt updated my blog for almost a month, they considered me an active user and invited me to beta test Google's new mail service yesterday. If you have been reading your online news, watchin BBC/CNN, reading daily news paper you would know what GMail is. It is the much hyped, 1 GB mailbox, web-based mail service from Google. So from yesterday, I have been flaunting my new mail is, xxxxx@gmail.com (there i go again! changed for anonimity), and making fellow geeks jealous. It feels nice to tell people that they have to wait for some time to get this. I have been using the acount for a day and a half now and I am impressed. This things lives upto the expectation. They have something called as "Coversations" that groups the mails together. Not a new concept. Its been there in mail readers like mutt (its called threads) for ages but they are the first to get it in a webmail system. Nice. It autocompletes the To: field. Very Useful. The ads on the pages are non-intrusive and frankly speaking I am not much concerned about privacy. Good work Google.

Now that I have seen the advantages of frequest blogging, I will keep updating this blog more often, I promise!
