2 interesting things happened to me today.
One, take a date for my long-awaited Java Level 1 certification. Second, install Rome: Total war - a strategy game. Whats the point behind fulfilling each? First leads to professional prestige (ABCDs) while I love the second. Comes from the days where I used to sit for hours beating up Age of Empires.
Time to rethink my priorities....

Chak De Fatte
...has been something that I have been saying a lot recently - on posts, amongst friends, on phone calls, and even dreams. Recollecting back to the old memories, how did this start in the first place? Courtesy goes to my old roommate - Mr. Amanpreet Khurana. Aman moved here last week where he took up a new job in CT, not far from my place. Glad that I have a Desi friend staying closeby - nothing that can be still better than a guy from Kopargaon - someone with whom I stayed for 4 years. Isnt life good to you?
Now thats what I call - Chak De Fatte.

Yet another long weekend and I had pre-decided that this should also not go waste. So I made a few calls and Mahale, Huned, Umesh and Rahul pooled in for this trip. Out 6 of us, the vacation was planned for a New England tour. It included sight-seeing Boston, Cape Cod and the world's renowned whaling capital - Nantucket.
Everyone drove up to New Haven Friday night and stayed at my crib to start the vacation with. It might be the first time that my room was filled with 1+ Desi. Happily, we were all dancing away to glory and having a gala time that night. Lal and myself did our usual dance copy of Amit, Bari, Yatendra, Gujju and Hiren Bhai. There was also a special imitation of ABCD.
Saturday early morning, we headed towards Hotel Marriot up in Woburn, MA singing Kajra Re for a 2-night stay. The check-in time was the usual 3pm and so we spent a few hours driving around Boston. We saw Harvard Square, MIT, Prudential Center, J Hancock tower, Chinatown and a little of Cambridge driving around on a Dodge Caravan. So we reach the hotel, check-in and come back 10 miles south to Boston again for lunch and then go back to hotel - bad planning maybe but the drive was not that trouble at all - 20 minutes maybe...and I was not driving too.
We basically passed around time on Saturday talking and a little bit of chilling out. It was an eery silence before the storm striked. I slept that night at 1 in the morning and was scheduled to get up first the next day at 2:30 again that morning. Now I am not a kind of guy who usually sleeps less than 8 hours...unless its a vacation. Anyways, We got ready and were off sailing on a Flying Cloud to Nantucket. As soon as we reached the land, I saw a shop renting mopeds and bikes. We got three of them and made pairs -it was me urf Jaidev and Laale Di Jaan aka Veeru together shooting for Sholay on that island.
Ghoom Ghaam kar we decided to do some water sports in one of the beautiful beaches - we played frisby. I noticed change in my complexion in less than few hours which meant that I will be spending my next few weeks with a darker version of Sandeep. Day passed by like a snap and I was shooting the breeze in the backseat. Monday being the last day of the vacation, we took sort of easy and were home early evening. Huned stayed back that night and left the next morning for Binghamton. We even caught a glimpse of the 4th July fireworks.
Weekend was great.
