Personal life never goes straight & I wonder why. There was a time when I was like a guy with stone heart with only my work or studies in mind, but things are not the same anymore when now I am working now. I thought relationships doesn’t matter & only used to make friends, least I knew that one day even my friends will get possessive about me.

Gauri is my friend since the last 3 years but now she has a problem if I make any other friend girl or talk to anyone & I wonder why. She isn’t my GF & she doesn’t want to be my GF then why is she acting like this. She is even having problems with me & Priya talking now….WTH.

I am back to looking for another job now somewhere out of Lucknow. Lucknow gives me lots of trouble now if I am here. I have started meeting Ashya again once in a while, but she is also busy with her things so I don’t talk much to her, she is a fun girl to talk to or go out somewhere with. I sometime want to talk to her, but since she has her things too I can’t just talk to her every time I am feeling low or depressed, no girl likes whiners or crying boys.

Priya & Nitisha are supporting me a lot these days, we talk almost every night now. We talk about everything & I have decided that with these 2 I will do only friendly things as I can’t take the risk of loosing Priya & Nitisha from my life. They are more then precious.

Lucknow is under heat wave these days. Today the temperature was 40C, I can very well fry an egg outside.

It’s very hard to work from 10 am to 4 PM in this much heat. The computer gets hot as well as my head. I tried playing some games & playing Gears of War right now, I am able to play it properly with my keyboard & Mouse then gamepad. Over all, I am still working on to make my portfolio soon & Anurag is making the site design, which is taking some time more then I thought.

I got to attend a MVP Educational Summit on April 28th in Gurgaon for WPF. I talked to Fellow MVP Sujay Sharma who said that for WPF my ADIM alone isn’t enough. Now, there are no institutes which will train me in WPF here that I know of so I am learning on my own. I am applying for jobs again via some sites & trying to get some freelance work to keep myself busy.

I wonder how Surabhi is???
