Tuesday 17th July

13 to go ... ohh yeah i still can't believe i am gonna leave this beautiful place in another 13 days ... today was an awesome day for me ... couple of interesting things happened ...

After lunch i got a request in the issues database. Normally i buy time by asking for consoles and a testcase . this time for a change i looked up the address of the person and headed to his office to solve it personally ... on the way back i was in a hurry ... then i saw DJ ( those who know her know who she is ) .. and she was near the stairs and i slowed down seeing her ... every time i see her Babs comes in my mind and her comments .. sorry Babs ... can't help ... and then DJ opened the doors and asked ... U r in a hurry go ahead .. I just heard like .. hey Hari go ahead .. i was wondering how the hell she knows my name ... then i got it ... she might have said ur in a hurry .. but should not miss a chance ... I headed saying I thought u called my name ... for the first time i talked to DJ, even though i see her almost everyday for the last five months .


I was all set to go for the football match at 6 pm .. then around 3.30 Dave Litten came storming into my office ... hey u gonna do water skiing after work ? ... mann that sounds cool ... never done that before ... shall i ditch football .. anyway i never found playing football interesting out the HSR league, and in two week i will be back in that league. so i said yes ..went home picked up the camera and went to Lake Iroquois .. it was an awesome boat .. John wittmer ( my teammate ) is into this sport .. he went around the lake to show the skiing course and then asked who gonna go first .. no one raised their hand ... only me , Dave , Patrick ( Dave's son ) and John were there ... i said i will go .. like a dumb guy . Should have waited to see how others do it ... i then put the skies and jumped into water .. it was a nice feeling floating in water ... but u need to know u will not get drowned .. it will take a minute or two for u to digest that .. then john tried to pull me with his boat .. but everytime i will not get out of water , as i launch off i will loose either the the string or the ski ... on the 4th attempt got up a bit ... but didn't go much .. so thought will give a break and do it again .. after seeing other do well , i tried again .. no luck this time also ... so after 8-10 attempts i gave up ... then as a consolation i drove JOhn's high speed boat all over the lake, did donuts in the lake using that .... But it was a kinda nice experience ..
