The day trip, the roller-blades, wedding panics and proactivity
There seems to have been a sudden splurge in activity in my life for some unknown reasons. Activity and "busy-ness" make me happy if you are following my other blog http://theideasbook.blogspot.com/ (sigh am I an attention freak or a marketing guru?) and hence I am in one of my better moods today. It has been a while since I have been as much in peace with myself. I think the fundamental reason today for my cheerfulness is the one hour I spent roller-blading around 4 kms perhaps the longest I have done in a long long time (that I could possibly measure atleast)
When you roller-blade (atleast with a slightly-above-beginner like myself) the perspective you have on the surface is quite different from the one you might have when you walk or cycle the same route! Its incredible. I infact walked through the same places I went to yesterday but then when the surface gets rough, my blades get stuck a lot and I have to dance around before I can get control of myself...kind of funny to watch the cyclists around look out for me. The weather in this part of the world is beautiful at this time and I am taking advantage of it. I need a picture of the street I roller-bladed in today - maybe I will get that picture in next weekend.
Last weekend a friend of mine and I drove down to Italian Alps on the French border. It was a small roman city with a few ski resorts. Although I was very excited about my first attempt at skiing in the alps, my friend was quite nervous about the roughness of the snow. We chose to walk around the roman town and click some pictures in typical touristy fashion and return home. It was a long day but fun. I ended it with a self-treat of buying the roller blades ! My life now is turning into a pursuit of "happiness". Roller-blades is just one means to achieve it.
In the other continents, the wedding preparation is in full swing, as I blog I am roughly 40 days from getting married. Thats very little time everyone says and they are right. The nervousness is yet to hit me.
At work, I have not been as proud and happy as I have been about my accomplishments in the last 3-4 weeks. The fruits of my labor is in the form of a PPT document :) trying to explain what I want to do over the next year. I think I am setting myself goals, when I don't see others setting it for me atleast clearly enough for me :).
