Flying high...
I will be flying again and this time to San Francisco, CA. Will be there for almost 5 months. Looking ahead to see the work culture there. Looking ahead for the friends I may `find` there. Looking ahead to enjoy the life in US.
Looking ahead for the day I will be back.

Wheel Of Time - Robert Jordan
I am done with the first 11 books of the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan and have most of them in my collection by now.
The series starts with "The Eye of the World" where Jordan has hidden so many pointers that you would not stop reading the sequels till 6th book***. But after that the series enters such a slow pace that you wish you had never started reading. The 9th book, "Winter's heart", has some good plots where you start taking interest in reading again. I would call the 10th book the worst in this series.
The 11th book "Knife Of Dreams", ends most of the plots which have been dragged from the last few books. The book also has some revelations which you would be waiting for from the first six books. The (probably) last in the series, "A Memory Of Light", is expected by end of Year 2009.
In Harry Potter we read about the only prophecy we read in the HP series and guess so many things on top of it alone. In Wheel Of Time series Jordan has poured the prophecies all over. You can spend days reading and wondering abt, which I still do.
I have started re-reading the books for now and will be waiting for the fall of 2009.
***: When I finished the 2nd book I couldn't get my hands on the 3rd book soon enough and I was visiting my home town. So I read the 4th book before the 3rd :)

HP done, what next?
The Harry Potter and Deathly Hollows has ended the HP series (not as excitingly as I had hoped, still) and with it my favorite time pass of re-reading the HP books. As of now, I will not be re-reading the 7th book of this magnificent series.
With the end to HP series, I was wondering what to read next in the fantasies.
Well, finally I have started with the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan. The first in this series is "The Eye of the World". I am borrowing the books from Pradnyesh (one of my managers) for now. Will buy them when available at Crosswords.
Check on last i read for updates.

Ram Sonal Wedding
Last sunday (29th April), two of my good friends got married. The Wedding was crowded by Ram's college friends. Very few from BE CSE 2006 could manage to attend the wedding. The juniors were more in number than our classmates.
The wedding was in Beed, we (me, Sabale, Swapnil and my bro Santosh) got there by indica. Only other guy from class was Bhagya who got there directly from Chennai.
Will upload some photos once Ram shares them with me:)
Seems like it was a week full of marriages, as one of my School friend Shankar also got married on 26th April. I couldn't attend this one.

Other Blogs
I haven't posted from many days as I have prepared separate blogs for books and movies that I last read/saw. Have been posting about the two most happening things in my life there, so nothing left to post on this blog.
You will have to wait till I am certain abt releasing the other two blogs!!

To Sinhgad and back
This Monday we (me, Sable, Pandya, Gautami, Vibha, Supriya, Chintan, Kshitija and Priyanka) went to Sinhgad and enjoyed a lot there.
The journey up was good and fine as we got there in a jeep. We enjoyed a lot up there.
Journey down was a nightmare. As none of the girls were having any experience in Trekking, it took us more than 3 hours to reach the town.
Don't want to write much about this.
