World is Small

Finally hubby's course got over and he has a break of a month. That means more of me-time. So i am cooking in the evenings more so, since i get time in the evenings while he takes the kid out to play. :) Love it, no more eating out during lunches or pizza delivery orders for the dinner. I wish things get smoother even after he joins back his studies by Oct again. After so long i made Gajar halwa, and for the first time tried to make Chenna poda which came out delicious. I wish to try out new receipes soon.

After long I got a trip to myself, thanks to F5. My second trip to Seattle, first was for the interview so i came in on Thursday eve stayed overnight, gave my interview on Friday and 3:30 back to airport to SJC. This time i reached here on Sunday night after the camp night out on Sat (july 30) at Gilroy Gardens, and returning back today on Wednesday Aug 3. This all time to myself, had lot of walking in and around downtown, been to pike market place, piers along the coast, space needle, downtown macys shopping. Well had some time to myself, although with the boring 2days office training. I do wish to come here again, but with family. By myself is such a boring experience. I wish to travel with my Akshun and be happy and see him happy walking around. Its been a terrible thing to be not around him.  Miss my baby. I will be home in another few hours and united with Akshun.

These links are for my information only.. its not easy to find the link instantly for the things i need. hence pasting here 2links for the camp reservation sites : both tents and cabin.. www.recreation.gov and www.reserveamerica.com I am looking for some more, once i bump across them, will update here.

I have joined F5 Networks starting this Monday as Platform Test Engineer, and God! what a different era of technology I am in. I have now nothing much to deal with the protocol/automation. Now its more of CPLDs, FPGAs, firmware upgrade, Hardware test, FAVs, etc. All new mnemonics and whole new world. Yesterday been to Flextronics Facility which had a big factory making devices for F5, Palo Alto Networks, Dells and what not. I was wearing a suit (forgot what its called now) and the anti-static band with static check on my body with the band on. It was different to see how each component on a motherboard or board gets attached automatically, then soldered, then tested, then assembled. Hope I got to go there again to visit and see more. Overall i am excited and looking forward to surprises now..

Just watched the movie, an Education and felt delighted. Its never late to study. Feels good movie. Nice watch.

Life got busier now. Since I started working, I am surprised I didn't put any words here. Things have changed a bit. Moved to our new house in Fremont area. Loving the house but not yet done with the settling down in the new house. Did puja on 23rd Sept at 3pm or so. We all 3 were present and did the boiling milk thing for the gruhapravesh with breaking coconut at the enterance and shanti homma. Moved to the new house on 3rd oct, Sunday and things are busy since then. Carpooling a little longer distances, and then arranging things, finding misplaced stuff, trying to find place where to stuff. trying to organise the house.. purchasing small and big things for big house. List goes on and on. We went to Durga puja event and Diwali mela recently. Akshun enjoyed the nice typically and good rassogolla at the Durga puja in hayward. Akshun had his school photograph taken and also went for halloween parade at Yahoo! He was a lion this season. Picked up his pumpkin at school. Enjoyed ...
