hi,
talked to Aman and appu this weekend after what seems like ages. They both seem to have taken to Chennai quite a bit and waxing eloquent about the ECR, which over here means an Emergency Change Request.... which kinda got me all worked up about the work involved and all.. .before I realised they meant the road. Anyways was nice talking to them after such a long while.

Past, Present and Future
Well... am back after a short break, work and travelling was keeping me busy with loads of stuff. Anyhows am here now. What have I been doing, well travelling at a breakneck speed all over the bay area for one....
Finished reading Mi Moto Fidel..
bought a Powerbook :) well that I guess makes me a complete Mac convert ;)
Went ahead and finished The King of Torts by John Grisham as well :)
Completed One month of Vegetarianism :) went 2 this place yesterday called Fresh stuffings or smthing. Had enough ghaas phoos(salad/vegetarian) in one evening to last me a lifetime. However am unfazed about the setback.. not quite a setback but very nearly put me back on the path of non-vegetarianism. I thought i heard some chickens committed suicide to avoid this fate, but then I cannot be sure of what I hear on the grapewine ;) .. anyhows decided not to go ahead and make the day of all those people betting on how long can I last without meat. but I am gonna be proving them wrong ;)
did I realise that it is tougher to be a vegetarian or rather that I should have tried converting to vegetarianism in perhaps India, where it is infinitely easier to convert than over here in the US. well I guess I just love a challenge.
Planning to take up roller blading today now that my back appears to have healed :) wish me luck ;)
Dhar was here in town a while back ... great meeting him after all this while. had a great time catching up on some of the shit that happened to each of us and would have loved it, if he was here for a longer visit, but then cannot really go ahead and have everything now can I .
anyhows will log off now have been writing for quite a while now :)

Hydro-therapy.... & its benefits
Hydro-therapy has been the saving grace for the past 2 days. It has been helping out in pain relief and god knows how much would it have helped.
Fact:
The therapeutic effects of warm water treatment include lowering of blood pressure, fatigue relief, faster tissue repair and pain relief.
here is a transcript from a webpage that i referred to a while back:
Spa therapy for lower back pain
Lower back pain is the number two reason in New Zealand (after colds and flu) for a visit to the doctor. Thousands of people suffer needlessly.
For many years Europeans have used spa therapy (soaking in hot baths of mineral water) as an alternative treatment for various chronic diseases. Yet, the effectiveness of such therapy for chronic lower back pain has not been well documented.
In 1995, a study published in the British Journal of Rheumatology offered evidence that spa tub therapy aids both short and long term benefits for people with lower back pain.
A later study, published in the Journal of Rheumatology by a group of researchers in France, sought to confirm these results and quantify the overall benefits of spa therapy.
After three weeks of consistent spa therapy, examinations showed more improvement in the health status (as measured in pain duration and intensity and back flexibility) of the spa treatment group than in the medication only group. After six months, significant improvement continued in the spa therapy group. In addition, their use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs had decreased.

aarrggghhhh...
Well, three days now.. out of commission .. basically this back of mine is never gonna let up. It is excrutiating pain and then some. I would not wish this upon my worst enemy. I really feel I should take more care of my self, however it is just that I am so lazy. Maybe it is God trying to tell me something. please wake up and smell the coffee. I have not done that for a while now :) Then i see the amazing stories of Gloria estefan and how she came back after a bus accident had taken her back away from her. Her grit and determination make me feel incomplete and a loss to life in general. Mebbe I too should take inspiration from her and move on. Get my ass moving and onto something worthwhile in life.
anyhows that is me and this is now :)
