Aha....its summer!

For all ya silent angels who have missed me, I've been doing lotsa stuff over summer. I always consider summers to be very special.

I remember my earliest summers as mum packing all of us kids to a painting and knitting class. The Mickey Mouse we did as a result as an end project was something I can never forget. It made the realise that art was a thing I loved to admire but not to self-indulge.
Then there were the whacky summers with my favourite goons - when learnt to play tabletennis, monopoly, cricket, the works....more summers where Naveen and I hit the libraries to find out who would read more Hardy Boys' and Nancy Drews. Summers which had had a more intensive combat like atmosphere when we matured at gully cricket and progressed to the case files of the Hardy Boys. Summers where I started reading the more 'adult' books by authors like Sidney Sheldon. Summers where I buried my sorrow of missing my best friend Shruthi with 'The Fountainhead'. Summers where I spent time coding and trying to figure out how things worked in Red Hat 6.2. Summers where I've watched basketball like I was the manager of some western conference team. Summers when I simply spent time, learning up words and their meanings for the GRE. Summers where I lived alone and still felt most loved. Summers where I spent my time exploring the Rockies while in Boulder, CO.
This summer happens to be no less exciting. It started off with my much awaited trip to San Jose/the bay area for Anna's wedding. The wedding tuned out to go on just fine and somewhere in the midst of all this, I seem to have found time to kayak in California! Was at Betasso Park Preserve last weekend trying to find my first geocache.




This weekend has been even more crazy with a collegue and me going on what I can describe about as the hike that almost did me in. Perhaps its a way of nature taunting me and telling me that I'm still not in too good a shape. But boy, am I ready to take up a challenge or what?
Here's more info about the Royal Arch trail in the Flatirons.



Mood - Gosh I feel like a winner :)
Song - Sar kattha jaye ya payr mein dard ho jaye, iodex pyare paas hamare kahe ghabraye, kahe ghabraye. Ooh Aah Oouch.
