The 3 Stooges

I had a very good day today :) How should I put it? It was like a complete day. I got a lot of work done (writing documents is a killer activity!) , met up with Sameer for lunch after a long time, (at our favourite KFC. The zinger burgers are to die for) and practiced Salsa (we choreographed our own steps for the first time). There's really nothing that I could crib about today.

I am really excited about the Project Management thing happening at work. It would really feel nice if we can set an example with our project and apply it to all new projects. But that's a long way to go because a lot of things look good on paper but implementation is a bitch. Bhakti is doing an awesome work in customizing the existing ESA (European Space Agency) Project Management standards and guidelines. I have managed to get a preliminary introductory document in place to introduce the stuff to the management. Lets see if the Chairman will be impressed but then again it'll be sometime before it reaches him. I just hope I am not bothered with all the other activities at work (which is obviously not going to happen). I sometimes feel that I seriously need to get my job profile sorted out.

It's always fun talking with Sameer. I remember in college, Sameer, Nicholas and myself used to have these long discussions on various things in life such as ideologies, principles, girls, marriage, philosophy and sometimes studies too :). I miss hanging out with them. And it's sad that life has got us so entangled that in spite of being in the same city, it takes us 5 months of planning to finally meet up. Nicholas has gone down under and God knows when he'll come back. Australia is really not making me feel good at all. At the current situation, I have an extreme negative bias towards that country. Its a very personal issue of mine and I have nothing against the country except a few oblivious blokes. Ok, getting back to my meet with Sameer. We caught up over a zinger meal, gave me good advice as usual. Its amazing how different he is now compared to the first time that I saw him come into room number 26 (I think that was the number) in 2000. Nicholas and his Dad followed. The 3 of us were always together except in second year when we ended up being in different rooms. It was so damn tragic. Fortunately by the end of the 3rd semester we were back to being roomies (total jhol giri ofcourse! we were officially still in different rooms :P) Right from our first year, it was always the 3 of us with our fourth partner changing every year.

We have had such awesome times together. Right from trips to Guhagar to Sikkim, we have gone to a lot of places together and hope that there will be a lot more places to go to. I don't know why we started calling ourselves the 3 stooges, cause I don't ever remember doing anything similar to the actual 3 stooges but ya that's how we like to refer ourselves as. There are so many stories about college and us, that maybe I should just make a label of it and start putting in some of our awesome adventures once in a while :)

P.S. Had an awesome Salsa session today and actually did our own little choreography. I ought to write down the steps so that I don't forget. Also realized that I need a lot more practice cause I am still very stiff and I do not have the smoothness in the movements. Its still jerky :( . But ya atleast I remember the steps better.
