Internet maladies :(

Dear God..

Where am I stuck… between all boring and dull people :(

Even when ‘out of station’ writing posts, reading blogs and leaving comments. Please baptize them with the divine act to take time off from their dispositions and enjoy a trip!!

- a baffled mortal

an intense enrapture

So many things to write and I am unable to settle on what to write and what not to.

For starters, Olga (my teacher) has brought life back to my German class. I guess it just impossible to move with another teacher in a language course no matter how good she is ..at least it happens to be so with me.

Every class I tell Olga of being more regular with my homework. Probably she has already written off what I say into thin air. Haven’t been even reading lately. Earlier I used to take a break out of it and now… I am forced to take one. :(

I had a very nice out of office reply from a colleague this morning.

Thank you for writing to me. I am on vacation from 15th Sept until 5th October.

Your mails will neither be read nor forwarded. Please don’t contact me in any case.

Another interesting thing (and the only interesting thing) was from today’s meeting. I have a meeting everyday just before lunch. It is basically scheduled for half an hour long but some days the discussions are like a deep well. Today was the same…

When leaving for lunch, Denys (my project mate) pointed out to have the meeting either a little early or after lunch. And his complaint was by the time he goes for lunch there aren’t tomatoes for salad. Blessed to have colleagues like him!!! :)

My post is in incoherent pieces today. I have to rush now. Enjoy your weekend.

sexy place ..sexy weather :D

Weekend was a complete knockout… starting from walking almost the whole city (Munich) around till visiting the fairy tale castle (called Neuschwanstein) ..one of my favorite places.

I am dragging myself to put this post… simply getting away with this excerpt. [:)]

And here is the best piece of my post ..this again is among my favorites.

on my go-gettings..

It has become a recurs to have a croissant on my way to office every morning. [:)]

Am I almost there ..by the nature of a addiction? Never mind, as customary got to the shop this morning. They had somebody at the counter. I had to wait and saw there was a single croissant more. And precisely the lady picked the last one and packed it… imagine the thought of ‘even the minimalistic breakfast’ dying a painful death.

I was figuring out what else to buy and she asked me “Do you need anything more or that is all?” WOW ..it was for me. I paid all happily with the person front of me still deciding on various things.

Well this is not the thing I had intended to write though I did… was feeling pleased for no explainable reason. What if the other person too wanted to buy croissant? Would she still give me or him? Now I know I should be glad and thankful and not building castles in the air. [;)]

Not far when I would run over all the sensible tags if I keep writing lousy posts like this. That reminds me I still have a tag to be done.

That’s to it. Among office, work, project ..I haven’t had any luck the past two weeks. The application I am working on sometimes is an occult and beyond my ordinary understanding. Suffice it so say leastways I have somebody to discuss in English [with a finely French accent].

What’s more …I forgot the get together with my German class yesterday. On high I tell myself I ought to feel bad and ashamed. Point taken I am seeking the oblivion of age.

PS1: No song with this post. Does that matter?

PS2: Does the title make any sense? I too wanted to try some random titles. It is mostly with a couple of blogs I read lately. Why can’t they pick a simple and easy title?

Germany

Before you read any further ..warning you in the most solemn manner. It is completely frivolous stuff today. [;)]

Today is again like one of those charmed days when everything appears to captivate me. I find myself more passionate than usual. Time is on such a speedy march… it is going to be 4 years now since I came to Germany and never have I thought why am I so enchained to this place.

Urged to think what does Germany (rather Munich) mean to me, I could construct so many things.

  • TUM (Technical University Munich)
  • Marienplatz (Munich city center)
  • Oktoberfest
  • Radler (mix of Bier and Lemonade)
  • Rischart Bakery
  • Englischer Garden
  • BMWs
  • Bitte zurück bleiben (meaning please stay back …how many times must have I heard this by now)

Above all this, it is the *fiercing comfort* living in Munich. Last week in my German class, I watched a short-film. It was about how people see Germany. A news firm wanted people to take pictures of all the things which they would associate with Germany.

The film begins with a father and son… a struggling and confused son who is being pressurized by his rich and well settled father. The son lands up with the camera from the news firm and asked to make pictures. And it goes on, the camera passed to many other people. It was interesting to see everyone’s realism relating Germany.

The best one was the last couple who get to know each other on a train travel… very similar to the movie ‘Before Sunrise‘. They take their pictures and leave the camera to someone else.

These train travel acquaintances ..I am loving the idea of it all. If I should call it an accident/coincidence ..met a guy and a girl this morning who were visiting Munich. They wanted some help in buying the train tickets. And we ended up in the same compartment.

He had come from Romania and she was from Macedonia. They met in Spain two days back and were now traveling around Germany. Should say it was quite a romance for just two days. Ok I am getting cheesy now. [:)]

I gave them some information on the places to visit and also asked them to come back for Oktoberfest if they can make it ..I am campaigning for Oktoberfest a good deal.

Here this song speaks for the post…
