These are remnants of the PC that i had been using for the past 4 years. This is what remains of it .
An ATX case
48o W power supply
52 X CD drive
256 mb RAM .
Selling the case and PS should alleviate most of my space woes !

This is found all along the bay trail ( especially in Foster City, CA). Never knew that it bore flowers too.

bored as hell !

I write this blog with a mind-frame of doing it for my satisfaction and to record this passage of time. Its only at the end of a weekend that i reminisce about the last two days which were meant to be times for relaxation . I can say with confidence that I have never been able to say that this weekend was spent relaxing.

This weekend began with me waiting to collect food from a local restaurant to pick up dinner and then driving back home . The dinner is delicious and extremely greasy . After dinner, I immediately rush to tune into the cricket match between India and Australia being played at Mohali.

India are in a dominant position. At the face of it , it may seem sound boring to view a game for 5 days , but its extremely intriguing and presents a new perspective to the game.

I sleep around 2 AM and get up at 10 am on Saurday. I am still reeling from the greasiness of the previous nite's dinner.

I decide to spend some time with my baby and later decide to play some tennis ( or show up at the tennis courts and hope that i can find someone to play with ). i drive my bicycle to the tennis courts and am not surprised to see a bunch of soccer moms play their recreational weekend game ( with breakfast - of course).
The next thing on my mind is to grab the wall to do some wall-practice. Even there my luck isnt favorable , however i request to share the wall .

I was able to hit the forehand with relative ease with my ncode nsixone but the backhand is posing some problems and i fail tohit backhands with the same ease as forehands.

Even wall-practice gets boring after a while and i decide to ride back. on the way back i decide to stop by the other courts ( just out of curiosity) and am delighted to see that 2 courts are free. I decide to stop-by to get some serve practise. Serves are coming out ok . i am approached by someone who requests to have a hit. its a decent hit , he lacks a backhand however at this point in time , i shouldnt be complaining . It seems that I would be prepared to play with anyone who would be able to spell "tennis".

I return home to have lunch. We just get a call that our friends would be visiting. They arrive a little late . I offer to cook dinner for all of us. I end up making two dishes
capsicum rice and aloo sabzee. it wasnt all that bad.

Sunday is spent, visiting a friend and doing some grocery shopping. Have some nice tea in the evening and do some house cleaning.
im back again watching cricket .
