Then I remembered I'd already done it once (and very difficult it was!)<br />SO I went back wanting to immediately post the link. But I couldn't find it. I searched and searched in the blogspot blog too, but couldn't find it. Searched for it again yesterday, and started reading my own posts ! Ah nostalgia.<br />But today I found it...so here it is: My Date with Eight :)<br /><br />http://happyhoursbeginhere.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/the-date-with-eight/Meirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615832258916668677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-63585048971408089422009-09-22T09:33:03.921+05:302009-09-22T09:33:03.921+05:30"I wish I could undo something I did in a clo..."I wish I could undo something I did in a close friendship.It is broken now beyond repair."<br /><br />I wish I could undo a lot many things i did before...i so want to write about all that...but whenever i start i find that i am running short of words and the writeup isn't enough!<br /><br />"If you do not want someone in your life it is not worth wasting even a single minute on them.

Read all available posts now. Colour you day, painting is eye catching. One is lucky to have true friends. Laws of Parenting, I could talk about grandparenting now. I have given up full time job and taken up consultancy at my own time. So I am at home mostly unless I go for meetings. Our daughter's 2 children ( 7 years old girl and 3 years old boy ) spend day with us after school as she is working and our son's 1 1/2 year old girl is at home. So you can well imagine what I must be a witness to and play mediator for. I loved your statement that you wish your children to grow up to be good human being. This echos my thoughts. OMG! You broke hearts when young. <br /><br />Please say hello to Satish and hug little ones from my side.<br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-13094625003343301322009-09-19T15:46:34.168+05:302009-09-19T15:46:34.168+05:30Nice post :)

Even these shows that I mention here I watch / have watched on computer only<br /><br />1) Number 1 spot goes to 'Band of Brothers' (which is not exactly a TV show but was a 10 episode mini-series - HBO's in house production)<br />2) Friends<br />3) How I met your Mother<br />4) Prison Break<br />5) Coupling<br />6) The BIg Fight / We the People (this I watch on TV)<br />7) Big Bang Theory<br />8) Discovery / Nat Geo / History Channel documentaries<br /><br />8 FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT<br />1) At home, Mom's food<br />2) Subway<br />3) Roadside dhaba outside office<br />4) Mc Donald's (French Fries only)<br />5) Domino's (pasta only)<br />6) Slice of Italy<br />7) Gurgaon's DT Mega Mall food court<br />8) Not really that much of a foodie :P<br /><br />8 THINGS THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY<br />1) Broke the traction belt on my excercise bike (yes I own one :P)<br />2) Voice chatted with a very good friend<br />3) A friend totalled his car on NH8 (Delhi-Gurgaon expressway) because he was drunk driving last night - heard about it this morning only. (Friend is 100% fine. Thank God!)<br />4) I discovered a new dent on my car - perils of driving in the NCR - there're so many maniacs driving around you are bound to get nicked some time.<br />5) Forgot to have dinner in office and ate at the dhaba outside office later then<br />6) Sent out 3 tweets - one was a news report about an autorickshaw driver who returned someone's laptop and was rewarded generously for it - felt good reading such a news item<br />7) The washerman didn't show up<br />8) Logged into my yahoo account after about an year to send an e-mail to my alumni network.<br /><br />I am thinking now, that I have a very uneventful life.
