Whoa... Where did I go?

Whoa... It's been a while. To be exact it's been 1 year 4 months and 16 days since my last Blog. Phewww.. that's a lot of time. What happened to all those things that I said in my first blog? One reason why I stopped writing is that I got very busy and did not get much time to write anything. It's not that now I am free and have ample time to brag but I thought I should continue my blog for the same reasons that I told in my first blog.

Remember what I said in my first blog - "I started writing blog because I like writing. I am passionate about it. I like to express things. I like to put whatever I feel in my heart on to a paper. It gives me lot of relief. You may call it as my stress buster."

There are two people that I should thank who really inspired me in getting back to writing. One RGV - Ram Gopal Varma. Lately, I started reading his blog and I became a big fan of his writings. I don't want to comment on his movies but as a writer he completely mesmerized me with his intuitive concepts and theories. Check out his blog whenever you get time - http://www.rgvzoomin.com/. The other person is my friend Riya. She brought back the memories of my good old days when I used to write frequently and how good I used to feel. I owe these two for inspiring me to take some time off my busy schedule and get back to what I really like to do. Thanks RGV and Riya. So, here I am back.

It's been hell a lot of time and lot of things happened during these 503 days. I changed two apartments, bought new furniture, successfully managed to survive through the recession without losing my job and I also visited a lot of places - Chicago(twice), Cincinnati, Boone Mountain in North Carolina, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, Middletown in Connecticut, New York City (twice), Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Washington DC, Virginia Beach, Shenandoah Valley and the best of all Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Great Barrier Reef, Ballarat and Great Ocean Drive). Whoa... that's a long list. Did I tell you that travelling is one of my passions?

Also.. I learned to play Poker and tried my hand in the great Casinos of Connecticut, Las Vegas, Australia (of course with no Luck). Damn.. I never win in these Casinos but somehow they are very enticing. I will write something later on my association with these Casinos. I tried my best to learn Skiing and successfully managed to stand in the snow with those heavy shoes on and immediately realized that this sport is not for me. I did Skydiving and greeted the heavens in style. I did Snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef and was blessed by the beauty of the Ocean. The Sky Diving and Snorkling were both amazing and I can never forget those experiences in my life. I WILL definitely write something on these two. I dressed up like "Joker" of Batman for Halloween. I saw US Open live (watched Federer, Roddick, Sharapova and Hewitt in action).

Pretty busy huh.. And after all these, I still managed to remain single.

Cheers,
Venks
