Meeting Friends

The last few weeks have seen me spend some time with friends but not as much as I’d like to. In April we have a really nice & fun get together on the 9th which created a lot of fond memories for me. From that day onwards me and another former colleague have been trying to find a suitable date to get all 10 of us to meet together for the first time since 2007 and it hasn’t worked till now. How hard can this be? May 1st was the deadline as 4 of them now live/work in different cities and they had some free days in the month of April but had to get back to their places on May 2nd. We planned, found a good venue close to everyone but one by everyone begged to change the date and it was just 3 of us who could make it. So cancelled/postponed.

We all felt bad & sad that it could not happen and made vague promises of meeting some other time. I know it’s gonna take time and who knows when it will happen. Two other similar events, with different people, got postponed and pushed and I dunno when they will take place. It’s easier to meet up with 2 or 3 other people but when the group is large it can become a hassle and frustrating if you are trying to organize the event. I know I felt so let down in April when I couldn’t get everyone to agree to spend 3-4 hours of their time on the same day at the same time. But you know, these things happen.

Tomorrow I am supposed to meet up with 3 of my friends for dinner in a place nearby. It’s a nice place where I have been exactly once and I do miss these friends & former colleagues of mine. I hope it happens, I’m free and the other 3 also seem eager to meet up for a couple of hours. And Saturday my buddy Anil and I have plans to spend some time during lunch and perhaps get a few drinks as well. Got my fingers crossed.

Are There Any Tech Gadgets You’re Eyeing?

Yes some but for all practical purposes, I will be able to get only one of them in the near future. But one can have a wishlist so I have a little list of items that I would love to get if finances suddenly improve:

My laptop will turn 2 years old in June. I think it’s the perfect time to do a backup of all data, sell it and get a replacement new laptop. Although I love Lenovo, I would love to try another brand like HP and the Pavillion g6 series looks affordable for me. This would be for my primary computing needs.

I’ve been thinking : netbook or tablet pc? Tablets seem the way to go nowadays and I would love to own a BlackBerry Playbook 2.0. This would go so well with my Bold 9780. And speaking of which:

Although I love my BlackBold 9780 it is a OS6 device. The late models use OS7 and I would kill to get one of the above models. The fight is for between the Bold 9900 & the Bold 9790 and Torch 9810 & the Torch 9860. I really like the look of all 4 devices but pushed to shove would go for the Torch 9860 if I could. It’s so sexy & sleek.

And one that is seemingly impending & urgent. I guess I will have to take care of this first. My 1TB & 320 GB drives are almost filled and I will need more space to save all the stuff that I want to download. Now that I have 1MB downloading speed at night, I will be quickly filling up the empty drive space in no time. I like WD as they are so reliable but I would also like to try out Toshiba drives as well.
