free morale boost?

its been a while since i had jamba juice. i was reminded of jamba juice because you know how they have these free protein, vitamin, energy etc boost with their juice. you would always want to go for a free boost no matter if the boost really energizes you or not.

today, i am in search for free 'morale' boost. i wonder if there's any juice store that sells juice with free morale boost. there are times when nothing goes your way. and then there are times when you're in desperate need of things going only your way and they don't.

today, i was blessed with such an evening on professional front. an initiative that i was pursuing with all my heart for almost the past one month fell flat on my face today. it started with a phone call, then an email, then another phone call. at the end of it all i was left wondering - have i done that bad? have i screwed up that much? will i never be able to lift my morale and get going again? and the worst of them all - am i good for nothing?

i am sure the last question above must make you feel this poor guy really needs some pepping up. to tell you the truth, i do. going back to the initiative i was trying to pursue - i have learnt one thing from this exercise. you cannot keep all your energy concentrated on just one thing. that you must do the good deeds (be it professionally or otherwise) and then patiently wait for the results. it would be the best if you can totally forget about the deed and move on to other things.

alas! things in life are easier said than done. though i learnt the above lesson, i am not feeling 100% super about myself. i guess it will take a day or two for me to get going again. i look forward to it.

Vegetarians eating in Vietnam

Image
Before I start my post, I must admit that I am not a food blogger. Hence, you may not be treated with culinary adjectives commonly found in a food blog. This post is a continuation to my endeavor to share unique travel and life experiences that could be of value to those reading and sharing these posts.  We were an eclectic group of 10 traveling to Halong Bay, Hanoi, Hoi An and Danang in Vietnam in the first week of May. While there is much to talk about the overall experience of traveling in Vietnam, I choose to restrict my post to places we enjoyed eating and drinking at as vegetarians (not vegans) from India.  Since the group had one member who had religious dietary restrictions (Jain food only), we stuck to the safe bets of Indian restaurants viz. Annam in Hanoi, Sri Spices in Hoi An and India Family in Danang. The idea of this blog is to share places / food other than the above where we found good vegetarian options, besides of course trying the local brands of beer....

i love the radio

yes! i am one of the biggest fans of the radio. how many people do you know have a car music system but no cd's, mp3's or audio cassettes (old school) in their car. i am just one of them. even if i do have cd's in the car, they would be catching dust in the glove compartment, because life's pretty simple for me. if there is one radio station that i am hooked enough to, i need nothing else. when i was in the US, i was hooked on to kiis fm (102.7) in southern california - it plays in LA and OC. many people think that this station is too girly and plays the same songs over and over again. don't matter to me. i would religiously listen to the shows on the way to work, and on the way home in the evening. i would know the rj's, the 8:20 birthday game, some reality-type-fake-tears show on the radio in the morning and the works. they say that if you listen to kiis fm for a couple hours at a stretch, you would have listened to the same songs twice. i was still hooked on....

the rise and fall of social networking

Lately, I have been asking people around me questions like "Are you still a regular on Orkut?", "You don't seem to be orkutting much these days?". I get common answers. Most of the answers are like this: "Yeah, I don't get much time!", "The whole world seems to have switched to another social networking site - Facebook" or "Its not cool anymore". For the uninformed or underinformed - Orkut is the most popular Social Networking Website in India and other developing countries. I have been tracking the popularity trend of Orkut for quite a while. Here's how I'd like to describe the lifespan of Orkut so far. This can well be extrapolated to a ton of other social networking websites. They came, they saw, they conquered....they got bored....they moved on! I remember getting sparse invitations to join Orkut as early as begninnnig of 2005. I had roughly 15-20 friends on my list. Some friends in my current friends circle and some...
