The World of my Own

Last week was my first week at Flood Control Dsitrict of Maricopa County, I was a fun week with a lot of learning in a very short time. I have amazing collegues which helps a lot. Have not exactly started working on my actual project, i expect myself to start this week. Even with this internship in place, I am not able to enjoy my life here. There is some unknown fear that keep me back from enjoying my life here. I had a small argument with my roommates on Friday and they were not happy with something i had done. But, now one ever told me abt it and one day all of them start attacking me. It made me really mad but i sucked up my anger so as not to cause a lot of damage I wonder why people never tell me if they have problems with me. I rarely get angry. but if no one tells me it makes me really mad. so friends, tell me if i am going wrong, i am ever ready to listen.

I was wondering if my friends take me for granted. I am actually confused. Many of my good friends sometimes ( actually many times) dont return my calls or do not reply to my mails. I dont know if i am being a fool hanging on to things or am i overanalysing things here. I know sometimes people are busy and i can be persistent ( bordering abnoxious) but am i asking too much when i want my friends to tell me that they are busy or cant get back to me now. I am confused here people, sometimes i start thinking if i was wrong in anyway for them to act like this. Hope i get this clear as soon as possible!

At last, after 3 1/2 weeks of running around for paper work, I got my authorisation to do my internship today. It was such a big relief and i am so glad the now i can start my internship on the 8th June. For the people who dont know, I will be a hydrologist intern at Flood Control District of Maricopa county . The internship is in summer and through the fall semester. I am really excited to start working and to actually have my 1st experience in working in a corporate environment after 23 long years in school. Wish me good luck:-)

2005-2006 season belonged to the Tavs- my league team in Arizona. We are the league champs and playoffs champs. Playoffs victory was a cake walk as our openers were in amazing form. They could chase any damn total against any team. We were awarded the trophies last week at a ceremony held at an indian restaurant here. It was an ok affair with quite a few people around. Here are some pictures: (L to R)Santhosh, Me(venkat),Ashwin,Navin,Murli,Shashi,Karthik,Sriram,Srikanth and Rohit

my hand surgery was last thursday. According to the doctors and my friends, it went really well. I was totally knocked out so i did not know what happened between 2.30pm and 5pm that day. there was some pain on friday and saturday. but it is gone now. my next appointment with the doc is on the 16th when he will remove the stitches and examine it.

I should my finga to a specialist today. I will be needing surgery to fix it. I have scheduled a surgery next thursday 4th of may 2006.The surgeon is the best in phoenix so i am not worried.Just a little scared, never been to a hospital before. But i have amazing friends around me so i am not worried that much. Hope it goes well...

My Team Taverners CC are the Arizona Cricket League Champs with record of 11-3. Now, it is the time for playoffs. I get to play my 1st match in the playoffs which happened to be the semifinals against Cavs Blue CC at Glendale, Arizona yesterday. I was so pumped up for that game that i was diving all around the place during fielding. One of these dives has resulted in a broken little finger in my left hand. It is all swollen up and stuff. I will post pictures later today. I did not get batting as our openers had a partnership of 185 and we won by 8 wickets. But sadly, my season is over without playing the finals. This is my 1st fracture and i will going to health centre after i finish work today.
