Second day!

Here I am, trying to gradually adapt into the blogging mode. However, the thing is nothing exciting happened today. Therefore, I do not know what to write.

Work was interesting-- Since I spend major part of my daily hours at work, it only makes sense for me to write about major part of my blog on the work! Anyways, work was fun. New stuff, new project. Today, I did a research on Merril Lynch's Private Equities Fund. I learned new names and new investment requirements. Work was busy. 8 hour just flew like that---

On the way back home, I continued with Kiran Desai's "Inheritence of Loss." Gyan and Sai's love story is interesting and Biju hardlife in the US is heartbreaking. For a second, I felt I was completely lost in that part of the world. I am enjoying the book. I already have the next book in my mind after I finish this one :)

Got home.. made dinner-- Baked Asparagus, Spinach and a Shrimp Curry and little bit of "masyaura" from yesterday. Dinner was satisfying!

Good way to end a day!!

slowly recuperating my blog strength!

So here I am... writing almost after one month. I am bit disappointed with myself for not being disciplined following this routine. blog. There used to days where I would regularly update my blog and I used to be very proud of it ( Would actually feel guilty if I did not write one).However, for past month or so, it has been a havoc. Rather than improving, I have gotten more worse. Somehow or another, I always seem to either forget it, procrastinate it or purposely ignore to try it. AND here I am, trying to follow the path again!!
It is a new month, new routine ( day light saving has been implemented), new begninging ( I have just entered a new age group!) and new life... almost ready to graduate. What better reasons could there for right.. :) I will try to be more focused on this blog world.

Lot has happened. Dashian, Tihar, Summer, Fall, Winter. Life has been good. Hopefully lots of good things lined up in next couple of months. Since I have not written for almost month, i am going to be bit sporadic in terms of jotting down my feelings/stories. I never have decent thoughts anywhere near any good place to write them down. so I don't write as often as I should write.

I need to update my blog with pictures. I have taken plenty but the wire you need to upload the picture is missing. With work and all-- I have not had chance to look at it. Correct, this indeed is a lame excuse, but, this really is the case.

Work is going on fine. Interesting news in the Financial world. The CEO was ousted-- which caused a pretty big dilemma in the financial world, then again, another CEO .. Mr. Prince steps down causing more conundrum. With the rising market volatility, it has been an interesting learn at work. To recap my day, I did a research on ML's Private Equity funds and Asset Allocation strategies.

Again, apologies for the sporadic seagway!

Weekend was good-- On Saturday, we went to see "American Gangster"--One of the best movies!!! Denzel deserves an Oscar!! If you have not seen this movie, it really is worth a watch. Saturday afternoon- we had a nice brunch at Sanjay's wedding. It was good time to catch up with old friends. Friday- laxmi pooja-Both P and I, we went to the temple and really enjoyed the ambiance--- very surreal and peaceful environment. Sunday,--- Called Nepal and talked with everyone back home. Then--- Brunch at Prativa di's place.We had a very good time and we really enjoyed. It was a good way to end the festival.and today-- back to work!!!

I have done a good job-- considering the fact I am writing after a month!

Good night!
