My teacher called me for an interview last friday/thursday. the conversations that took place...out of my comprehension. anyhoo I have tried to give a summary of the convo with him.

Him: "These will be ur tasks, everything is software based..blah ..blah"
Me: "That's good". (listening to his ~speech~)
Him:(10mins after the "these will be ur tasks") "IF we employ you..."
Me: (thinking to my self .."Uh oh!is it something I said?") but politely continued nodding my head.
Him: "Even tho' these tasks will be easy for u , we will provide training"
Me: (phew...he's thinking of employing me then...)
Him: I'm just telling u all this, but I have to discuss with the partner about employing you.."

All I want to know is WHAT THE HELL WAS HE ON?????
His partner was another story..my FULL convo with him went like this:

me: hi..I'm ---------- (extending hand)
Partner : (shakes hand) "hmm". 10 sec later.."ok, i am waiting for a call..i'll be in my office if u need me" . (walks out!!!)

so much for my interviews... but not to depair , cos I AM EMPLOYED....YAY! No, not by my teacher. But by a company to whom I wrote "asking" to be placed as a trainee. I am not being paid, but I am not complaining.I want to learn the innerworks (evil smile)

Festival is over. must wait another 12 months to see the co-ordinator running around with his blood pressure and stress rising through the roof!! It was funny how some of the girls were surprised when they realized that I was married..haha! But it was all good, I enjoyed myself.

There's nothing much going on otherwise. I have started exercising regularly now, it's been a week since I started. Yet to see any improvement in the shape of things! I remain hopeful!

The festival at the temple is going on really well. The Kacheri that follows the procession is awesome. We were preparing the rolls for the foodstall and helped with the palakaram(sweets as well. It is so nice to meet and spend time with all these people.

The thing that irritates me is that when the pooja is going on, people talk...idle talk. I mean, yeah it is a social place but, couldn't u talk outside? Oh No! They will talk inside the temple, when the pooja is going on and these people always seem to be standing next to you! WHY????? Don't they realize that they just might be disturbing others? My policy that that I don't talk when inside the temple, espcially when the pooja is happening or I am praying. Yesterday my friend who didn't know that, walked up to me and started talking, I was answering in nods and shakes and 'hmms', that she asked me if I was on a mouna viradham (not speaking for the day). I just smiled and said no and left it at that . and then came home and explained it away in a mail since I did not see her after we met in the temple. she totally understood..unlike some people who seem to think I am arrogant! Ha!
