Mexico my Savior, at least for today ...

A lot of my Indian friends in Graduate School used to like Mexican food a lot, according to them it was the closest any cuisine came to Indian food. Well that being said in the 3-4 countries that I have tried Mexican food I have never liked it, I always found it lacking anything concrete, most of the times its just like 5-6 barely palatable ingredients just thrown together. Maybe I have always tried it at bad places, but what really are Nachos, people are eating Nachos for the Salsa sauce that comes with it and do not even get me started on Tortillas.

But all that changed today, for first time in eight days I liked my meal in Poland, it is not a certificate to Mexican food or anything but its just that rest of everything that I have tried here was so damn not in agreement with my taste buds and food aesthetics.

Here is a picture of the "Meal of the week" ....




Oh yeah I had already eaten most of it by the time the thought of capturing the frame came to my hungry mind.

Ciao

Sculptured by Education, butchered by profession...

Life seems to be at absolute standstill, each day starts and ends without any aim or a target. In fact there is neither a horizon nor a hope of seeing the horizon in the near future of one year. I am lost and out of control and I don't like this idle and wastefulness. If some one could just show me that horizon I would be more than happy to run for it even if I never reach it.

Due to unnecessary work obligations I am also not able to attend the gym regularly which is the first reason that makes me feel bad every morning in the shower, second is the reminder that a Outlook mailbox is awaiting my attention where I have to read/write messages regarding something as trivial as poor network speeds which are hampering my downloads of company source code which I just need to pass on to others. Why the F88k should I waste my time or my eyesight or my energy on keystrokes for something like that, that is not what I signed for when I took this job or for that matter when I chose this field. I had science in mind and not cost-cutting measures, I had solutions to problems in mind and not workarounds to poor solutions, I had design in mind and not patches, I had satisfaction in mind and not this aimless idle life.

In short I am bored and unchallenged.

I know getting out of anything detrimental takes time and Of course I have a plan to get out of this uselessness once and for all but what till then? That is the question haunting me and I need a answer quickly even if it is the wrong one. How can I keep myself happy or at least occupied till I get out of this rout, any beautiful girls around? :D

Ciao for now !!!
