Missing home

Continuing with the new tradition of writing about my thoughts today...had a nice lunch in office, with pulao, and ice cream. Didn't have any fruits today, as I was feeling quite full after the lunch (why can't he get the fruits in the evening?). Worked hard for the past few days on creating presentations on trading in futures and options on the stock market (although I myself have never traded on those instruments). But was a good learning experience, preparing the presentation with almost no prior knowledge. Definitely one of the on-the-job value additions.

Reading a nice article on the site investopedia.com about money, titled 'What is Money'? Sounds very basic, but try answering it. The website's also quite resourceful, and amusing, especially for people working in the field of finance. And for people not having anything to do with this field.

Feel like going to Pune early...missing home. Already worked a lot this week, and finished the tasks on my agenda well before Saturday. Hoping that I would be able to move today itself. Actually not living a very exciting life here. Other than office, there is nothing exciting (touchwood, I'm finding work interesting!). Have to start living a decent life here. Planning to rent a flat, get a TV, VCD/MP3/ACD player, a few of my books, and start having a life here. There is no point in just existing and hoping that the future would be better. Was feeling extremely bored and lonely yesterday on returning from office. Had absolutely nothing to do. The only things in the room that I live in, are a bed (no cot), my luggage, a chair, and a table for ironing (yes, that's it).

I desire a better life...a much better life. Even better than what I'd been living in Pune, before coming here. But there's no path which I've set to reach that goal. Rather, haven't even set a goal. I wonder how I end up writing about the same things, even if I start with something different. I guess that's one of the dominant thoughts in my mind. What's the other dominant thought? Well, I'll keep it for a later date.
