A confession
A confession to make here...
I am horrible when it comes in showing my feelings.. I somehow end up doing something which I do not want to do... I end up reacting in a way I did not want to... I convey something which I did not want to convey... I have been horrible here... So most of the time as a defensive measure I do not talk much about it... I have suffered a lot because of this but am not able to get out of this... I still need to learn how to work it out... And being an optimistic person, I will somehow find a way out of it... but now I am in deep shit and still searching for a way out...
Just take an example.. A friend of mine sent some really beautiful snaps of her (in a party) and I was not sure whether I should appreciate her- tell her how beautiful she looked-she looked gr8, pull her leg or wot... and I ended up doing three things...

The tough part - gift
Now this is the tough part when you are returning home that too from a foreign trip... The gift!!!
I have never been good at this... Always get this cringing feeling whether my gift will be appreciated or not... So to be on a safer side I prefer going shopping with them... no complain... I give the gift... they chose it... everybody happy.... :-) But life aint that simple...
Now I am returning next week, less than a week left for that and I am yet to buy gifts... Initially I had thought that since I will be again returning to UK so will buy gifts for everybody when I return finally in December...
but no... sisters will be sisters... demands have started pouring in... have to buy something now... chocolates alone won't do... I have also started feeling guilty and I am thinking to buy gifts now... but its less than a week now... and the most difficult part is noot solved yet.... WHAT TO BUY??? and that too for my parents....
Am banging my head now... Got to go to sleep now... Will search for my thinking cap tomorrow... its there somewhere...

Wot a race
The Hungarian GP was a race of luck. This track has now given 7 different winners in the last 7 years. It was a great start by Massa and all the way it was Mass's race. I have never seen anybody overtaking Lewis the way he overtook him in the first few seconds. It was great. And not only did he overtake him , but at one time he had a lead of more than 5 secs. Just reminds me how Lewis had made Massa look stupid in the last race when he overtook Massa.
But this game was a game of luck also.
Lewis had a left tyre punture which saw him join the race at no 12. From no. 2 to no 12. Man this was getting interesting. And when everybody had thought that the race is all over with Massa as the winner - his engine blew up in 68th lap. Ohhh boy!!! Ferrari team have to go back and recheck their engine... they need to do some serious thinking... and this is not the only instance the reliability of their engine has been questioned this season. Poor Massa. And we have Hamiliton in 5th position. He somehow managed to complete the race with that soft tyre on. With his style of driving all doubted whether the tyres will last the race but he completed almost 28 laps in those...
And we have a new winner this time - Heikki Kovalainen.
yes you are right Massa - racing can be a cruel sport , and it was one today.
p.s But I am happy as Lewis still leads the table

A day at pub
Pub is an integral part of English culture... You see pub in all the streets and corners of England... People with the beer mug, sandwich and a cigarette in hand is such a common site, you come to a conclusion that people cannot leave without it...
Yesterday I had my first experience at pub... I was returning from office and met few of the people workinf for my client. They insisted I join them. Though I told them I do not drink, they asked I can do with a coke... So there I was in their company with a coke on the rocks in my hand... Spent some time there. Was ackward at the beginning cause generally I do not know how to react in these kinda situations and do not know how to joke with them...
but it was good time to spend with them... got to learn that English people do not love travelling long hours contrast to ours where we travel so long (in train of course). For them 4 hrs is the limit else it hsa to be flight...
and I bid them goodbye with a promise to join them again... hmmm... should join them again at the pub with - a coke on the rocks :-)
