Mixed Emotions
Exhausted#:-S
This week has been really hectic, we had to hit some really tight deadlines and had to put in some crazy hours. But the week has seen a lot of highs and lows, so i thought i will go through some of the events and how i felt and reacted to them.
Pain:-&
I had a bad cavity to add to my cup of woes, due to which I could not even drink cold water. I went to the dentist to get it fixed.
Relieved#:-S
In the midst of a very hectic week I received my performance appraisal, which wasnt great and wasnt too bad either, so even though i wasnt totally happy i was kind of relieved to get it done with.

The US open championship concluded last week with Kim Clijsters and Roger Federer winning the womens and mens singles titles respectively, I was cheering for Andre like most fans must have at the Arthur Ashe stadium and across the US, but Andre ended up loosing to the "Boss". He was up a break in the third set and I thought he would pull it off but Roger then raised his game to a whole new level and the veteran could not really do anything. I was really pissed off when the match was over.

H1bees: this is the name of the music album released by a few south Indian software engineers living in the US. The seven-song, tri-lingual album — in English, Hindi and Tamil — celebrates the life of the immigrant techies starting with their encounter with the US visa officer.'Standing in line, papers in my hand, All my answers, practised and planned, He asked,/ would ya ever come back home?/ Yes sir, I will, but first give me that H-1B!, Give me that H1-B!’ goes a song." The songs convey the sentiments every immigrant goes through at different stages in life. This is a journey of independence from frugality to conformity," says Srikanth Devarajan, a computer engineer who leads the band. Some 600,000 highskilled Indian guest workers are estimated to have come to the US since the start of the H1-B visa programme in the early 1990's.
