Neck B-R-E-A-K-E-R

Over the past few days I have come to realise the pain that someone who has problems with his neck goes through. I only had a neck sprain. But that kept me out of day to day business for a couple of days. And it was hard concentrating during those two days.
The moment I realised that I had sprained my necck I had experienced the most jarring of all pains. The feeling could be equalled to hitting the weak spot on the elbow. Only this pain was continuous, unlike the elbow pain. For the next two days I felt like a hog. I had to turn my entire body to see in different directions. The act of walking with the painful neck was like trying to balance vessels on a dicey stick. Even small things like brushing teeth and taking a bath became a challenge because they caused vibrations in the neck muscles.
The only good thing was that Monday was a holiday in office. So I could rest and recover. Like every good process engineer I went back to the reaccess the situation in order to make improvements. I believe the air pillow that I use was the root of evil and had a big part to play in putting me through this pain. So I am going to get rid of it asap!

One of my last visits to College Station

I think I have had my last visits to College Station yesterday. I just say it is one of my last visits because I believe in never ever say never.
But one by one all of us who came together on a difficult journey have completed our time in College Station. I must say one thing about College Station. You hate it while you live there, you just want to get out of that small town, just be free. But as soon as you cross the fence you feel like visiting every now and then. I think everyone remembers College Station primarily because of the hardships they go through in that town. It is probably the first experience for most of us to be working part time and studying at the same time. And that is not easy.

I think it the best town to live in for a short while. Get your lessons. And get out of it!!

Airtime skyline

Cell phone airtime is one magical thing. You always have minutes when you don't use them and never have minutes when you need them. I have been through this predicament for the past two months.
My airtime skyline is giving a tough run to the Manhattan skyline.


Just like saving money cannot make you rich, cutting back on airtime cannot keep me satisfied. Especially when I want to talk. So I have come up with ways of getting more airtime for the same cost rather than saving it. And its working very fine uptill now!
