Skype confusion - Weekend!

Being very anxious to reduce my landline ISD bills, i borrowed credit card from my friend and got credit points in skype for 10$ and called up to inform my bills will be less this month. Was horrified to see 0.36$ in 25 minutes.Oh man! Almost Rs.500 for 25 minutes. Then explored to get more information regarding it. Found that calling mobile was 17 times costlier than landline. Then found that if i called landline i could have spoken for 8 hours for the same Rs.500. Its ok! A lesson learnt but quiet a costly one.Decided to call up landline only on weekdays. Lets see this month bills.Weekend was ok. Friend U's parents and in-laws had come. Nice people. Had good home made food. Raagi dosa and fantastic sambhar.Yummy. Then started for morning walk today at 6.15PM. My watch was ten minutes slow and the cab came at the right time when i just stepped out of house. Then RUN..RUN..RUN to catch the cab. MY god. Should keep the time on my watch and the cab's clock in sync to avoid last minute rush!

Mood for Weekend!

Yippie! The long awaited weekend is near. Feeling so happy that i can sleep till late in morning. Then meet up with friends and see some movie. Have to try PC to Phone calls? I am a premier customer of Airtel paying 10,000 plus for ISD calls everymonth. Of course this is the first month. But we decided to put some cost cutting measures in place. SO have to figure out this PC to Phone calls thru skype or something. That's the project of the week. Am also planning to get a LAptop for personal use. Compaq's screen resolution was too good and can be viewed from any angle without glare.Lets see if it fits my budget. The project for next weekend will be Project "Chennai & Laptop". I am gonna bring a new guest to my home - The laptop.

Exercise - Fourth basic necessity after Food, shelter and Clothing

I strongly believe that the current lifestyle will lead to a lot of health problems. Specifically for IT people staring the monitors 10 hours a day in an AC environment. Absolutely no exercise. I have a deep passion to exercise everyday, but i do it for a few weeks..then a gap of months..again restart the whole thing. Recently i have started last week : simplified exercises in the morning; 30 minutes of brisk walking in the evening; and diet of only vegetables and fruits at night. Hoping to continue it for next six months consistently. I tell this in a blog and i do have a reason behind it. If i say it in public, i need to stick to my commitment. And to keep my head straight, i need to consciously keep up my commitment. This attitude may be kiddish but hope it helps. I always have high regards on people who are consistently exercising. I appreciate them and am inspired by them. I like meeting people who really take care of their health. But the irony is my dad has been exercising consistently for the past 10 years and when he advises or asks me to exercise, i dont take it. I think its always like that with parents....when our parents say something, we lack the openess to agree to them...anyways my dad is a person who will never give up and once he told me " i will ask you everyday , have u exercised till the day u make exercising a habit." And he has been doing it for the past 7 years and finally the result is his daughter has realized the importance of it and is trying her max to it. Also now she is advising her friends to do the same. Hats off to you dad! Thanks for the unrelenting effort for 7 years.
