Today work was busy as usual. I was over loaded with work as usual. When I got off work, I still had work pending to be fnished. Oh well, I just have to work on it tomorrow although I wish that I could finish everything today. I came home and had dinner. Talked to vidhu. However later got into argument over zeiss talking to me in indic languages. She is highly jealous and was mad that zeiss was talking to me. Zeiss however wanted to know if it was okay for her to talk to me. I stated that I do not stop anyone from talking to me, Vidhu left. Oh well, I dont know what to do.. but I guess life goes on. I checked out the new clothes that I bought from OLD NAVY. I liked one pant, and two shirts. Other pant however seemed too short. I should take it and exchange it. Not much going on today other than being tired. So I guess I will retire to my bed now :)

Today Right now I'm talking to Vidhu. Its 1:00 AM, and she is upset about me talking to few people online last night. I was talking to this guy that she stated she liked after we broke up. She thinks I should not talk to him anymore. She asked me to choose talking to her or him. I explained her that I will decide on that once she gives me what I want, which is proof of her progress in education. Yeah call me whatever but I dont believe anything till I see the proof.

Today I started writing my Dairy once again. I had the habbit of writing in the past, but gave it up as life got complicated. However since it is a very good habbit to write the dairy, I thought I should make it my New Years Resolution for this year of 2002. My other resolutions are quiet simple as well. Major goals for this year is to pay off any outstanding debt that I have by June, 2002. During the second half of the year would fall my other goal of increasing my finances by the end of the year by atleast 5000 or more. This should then be used to invest wisely and increase it by more than 100% in the following year.

In addition to the above goals, I have also decided to start thinking wisely and make wise decisions, especially when it comes to relationships. I have had bad experiences in the past. Thanks to those experiences, I'm able to learn and improve myself. I have also decided that I should communicate my honest feelings about any issue to the other person. Whether that person likes it or not is a different issue, but atleats that gives that other person a chance to evaluate me correctly. While being honest about every feeling, I also have decided that I should set some requirements to anyone who decides to share their life with me. I have already started communicating this information to my now ex-girlfriend (Vidhu). I know she probably hates me for being a jerk like that but for me to be successful and meet my goals, I have to give some responsibility to her too. While I continue to call her my ex-girlfriend, I should admit that I have tremendous feelings towards her. Its as simple as saying, I love her the most today compared to what my feelings for her were in the past.

The good thing about me setting the above goals has given some interesting and positive results so far. She has changed many things in her life, started being more mature, is able to control her anger and is being more patient. In addition to that, she has decided to go to school for higher studies. Her main accomplishment which is yet to come as of 1/15/01 is successfully competing the GED courses she started taking recently. Yes she was a high school drop out in the past, but has made tremendous effort to change that and today I'm really proud of her progress on that issue.

Today, I woke up at 11:30AM (although I planned on waking up at 8am), went to DMV, got my license address updated and made corrections to my height :). After that, when to my parents house, had lunch with them and then took them to few places so my Dad can apply for good job. Later, dropped off my parents at hom and came home. Paid off my auto insurance bill, picked up the package from OLD NAVY from the apartment office. I ordered some clothes and cannot wait to try them out today.

Thats it for now, I will add more later.
