Ramblings Only

- We went to the theater to check out Kamal action movie Thoongavanam and had to return back because it was houseful! What a bummer. But worry not, it is apparently a kinda sorta remake of Sleepless Night, a 2011 French movie which is on Netflix. So we might watch that before we get a chance to go to the theaters again.

- my first AR at work is a training class. And apparently this is important enough to be reviewed by the VP. I am told I should get used to the idea of making presentations to VPs after all I am in full fledged marketing now where money and image matters a lot! VPs are a big deal here, and my career goal is to become a VP, or so I wrote in my MBA application. So it is a big deal for me. Deadline is Christmas. I hope I can be done much before that so I can take time  off during the holidays.

-Today was a very fulfilling day. As part of Outreach we had a group of super enthusiastic elementary school girls visit our Museum for a tour and a class on Snap Circuits. It was an Inspiring STEM event. The kids were so smart! But also easily distracted. They reminded of how JSK will be only 5 years from now! The girls had apparently visited other companies like Facebook and Adobe so we had to meet their high expectations. But hey which other company has a Museum?! To showcase their products? Clear win. ;--P

- I am still going back and forth on what I want to do in the women network next year. I don't quite like the operational aspects of the position. Like printing labels and getting swags. Ugh! But at the events I am always overjoyed and overwhelmed with emotions. I wish my time spent were more fruitful that pure operational. I will have to think more about it. 

- My Amma. Times are such that I have to allot time to feel bad and cry. Life goes on. My mom doesn't want me to worry. Oh motherhood is so selfless, even when she suffers she doesn't want her children to feel for her. I have a new found respect for my Amma. To be frank I have always favored my dad. Now I feel so fricking bad. Too many thoughts, can't write every thing. Just keep her in your prayers if you do pray. 

- I have read quite a bit on PKD. I will probably look into volunteering and supporting PKD research. Since there is no approved cure or medicine, lot of find raising happens to spend it on finding a cure. Dialysis is inevitable. Kidney transplant too. I still need to get my kidney ultrasound done. I sometimes wish I had it so I will have a valid reason for my tiredness. Sorry that is my mildly depressed state talking. You know if I do have it, it is better that I have it than my brother, one of us has to have it because of the 50% rule. If I do have it, I will be ok. I have decided to be happy no matter what. And spend my life doing good for others. And making others happy. My eyes well up at the thought of my parents. How can they be so good and so selfless. Some decisions they made which puzzled me then is making sense now. When they knew about it I was 18 and my brother 13. I don't think either of us where matured enough to understand. It made sense not to tell us. I can understand. Life gets in the way. My college, admissions, US, brother's school, college, job, US.. Too much going on. 

- anyway I won't make this a sad space with my vent. Or may be I will. I don't know. I can't decide now.

Happy Friday!
