Tennis , Australian Open , Sania
I am enjoying the Australian open matches, whichever I am able to see. I am not able to watch all the matches since this new project does not have any time flexibility and combined with atleast 2-3 hours of commuting and 9-10 hours of rigorours office work, my weekdays are ruined and I am left with very little time for other activities on week-days.
Like today I want to desperately watch replay of Federer-Safin match but its only coming in noon time. What a match it was. Finally the invincible looking Federer has been defeated. It must be a big blow for him. But hey safin did a great job by winning this 4.5 hours long match. Another interesting match was Maria sharapova vs Serena. What a match, specially in the last set, both Maria and Serena were playing like do or die with all their adrenaline rushing.
Not to forget our own Hyderabadi potti Sania who created a sensation among indians by winning first two rounds of the open and then played a solid match with Serena in the third round. For few days indians and indian media was just talking about her. Hopefully she will create some more great histories for Indian tennis. Sania's performance will also boost prospects of tennis in India.
I am missing my previous project days when I had completely flexible timing and very little work to do. That time I was able to watch all my favorite matches and spend lots and lots of time on the net and lots and lots of time with family. Now it has become a struggle to gtet some free on weekdays. Next weekend I am shifting to very near to my new project location so I will be able to save the commute time.

Work at the new project
From last 3-4 weeks I have started going to my new project. It takes about 1 hour each way in commuting. Some days I am taking and some other days it is train + car-pooling from there. This is becuase 3 days in week I dont have car available to me as my wife has to drop our son to school.
So I have decided to move from easy bay to my project location near san jose by Feb 1st week. It will be a lot more fun then as I will be able to reach office by 5 minutes walk. Which means I will be saving atleast 2 hours in commuting everyday.
At office work is going on ok. This project is kind of balanced. We have enough work for 8 hours but I dont have to overwork. So far I have been able to establish myself well on the project. It seems like project will go reasonably long atleast till this year-end so I guess things should be stable for some time.
My PM / PD is M. He is a nice guy but sometimes make illogical arguments. P is as usual fine. I helped P in locating a house. Other guys A , m & v are also nice. So team work is happening in a team fashion.
