Wow, again I find myself apologizing to this blog for my
absence. But, I know it will understand. It has seen me visit a few times to
see if the visitor counter was ticking & to my surprise it crossed 30k
visits around a month ago. So for all the good people who keep wanting to know
what I’m upto, I salute you ! *graciously bows*
While I’ve been away, I moved houses again. Not too far from
where I was staying, but this location chops of 10 minutes on the commute for
the Mrs.
I got to see my nephews after almost 3 years, and it was super
fun to spend sometime with them in Hyderabad. They have gone back to the US
& I think I should find a way to keep in touch. Perhaps through FaceTime or
some such new tech.
Football hasn’t made a comeback yet, but I’ve been building
some stamina, so hoping to find some opportunities to play soon.
So here is something new that I’ve been doing for a bit now,
I’ve started taking some classes. Its more Androgogy than Pedagogy, because the
target audience is normally older than me. I try to instill in them a sense of
direction, understanding how their work
can impact the organizations on a more macro scale & of course I bring my
brand of crazy exercises for experiential learning. Makes for interesting
weekends periodically.
Travel this year has been a damp squib, had so many plans
but none of them have materialized so far. Trying to work something in, during
the second half of the year, so that the year end appraisal with the Mrs goes
off well. *winks*. Wanted to do a little
bit of Eastern Europe, but looks like Greece is imploding so may not be the
best of ideas. Chennai/Madras should happen more often since the sister has
moved there with Teach For India. *secretly fantasizes about SCUBA diving at
Pondy*
Invested in a Philips trimmer a few months ago. The barber shop in my locality has a first
come first served system & on most occasions is followed. This one occasion,
one of the local politicos *read Goon* happened to stride in. The barber gave the
chest hair flaunting - orange paan based
liquid spitting barbarian precedence for an oil massage. This enraged the lot
of us who were waiting our turn, and I for one stormed out vowing to never come
back. This triggered the aforementioned investment.
So now, the Mrs & I have started styling what is left of
my mane. I have become an expert at the crew cut & sometimes try a buzz cut
as well while she patiently gives the finishing touches to my *coughs* master
strokes. Might consider doing a few trials on some other people soon too, perhaps
might make a career of it in the near future ! Who knows ?
