Gotta Move ON n ON

Feel guilty of not being regular in posting here, thought of doing it a few times but there was so much happening in life that just ignored it for some time. Hope I am back now........Kind of........think I am.

Flew back to the US on the 17th of may, and after finishing business in Toronto and NYC, was in my crib on the 21st. It does feel good to be back home (from the real home)..........but the last 30 minutes before you enter the airport are kinda heavy............Emotions showing everywhere........But that is how our culture is.

Ran into a very very crooked chap at the immigration in Toronto, I have a Canadian residency.......but the guy wanted to know why my passport is not stamped with a Canadian immigration thing. Reasoned out with him that paper documents have long been abolished in Canada and I have my PR Card which he can scan and get all the information. He still kept on asking the same question........Over n over again. So I told him this is all I have.......and you tell me what to do........and then suddenly he let me go. (In Canada they do not stamp anything on the passport, have lived there for a while and have traveled up from states and my passport has never been stamped.)

Now for what this blog was born........my B-School "di" Journey, well, have been running late on it and have a lot of catching to do. I had planned to write my GMAT by now but had to postpone it.........why?
Commitments at work, and the major thing am leaving the USA for some time a couple of years maybe.........This is the third time I moving from a country and trust me guys the hassles involved are plentiful. Esp when you are married...........we are trying to figure out what is done and what is still left.......Its a long list........Taxes, insurance, social security accounts, banks, credit cards, loans, apartment lease, vehicle insurance and registration, signing of from your health club...Or they keep ripping your card, medical records and then the hassle of packing, transporting, fights (with dear wifey) on what to take and what to dump, where to dump stuff (need a permit from the town clerk to do that to........How I wish I was still in India) and bla bla bla ......... This list is just endless.

We are moving to Vancouver, so its east coast to west coast again. Have lived there in the past and just love that city......It is such an amazing place to be in. Find the people there to be the friendliest of all places that I have lived in (7 cities in 4 countries). Vancouver also has a sizeable immigrant population and Indian are big in that number. Vancouver also has a Desi Cinema Hall, makes me smile at times and u get 5 SAMOSAS for a loonie. mmmmmm i am hungry LOL :-)

On my GMAT front nothin much has been happening, as I told you before had to move the exam forward coz had been traveling at commitments at my present job grew a lot more suddenly because I had to move and hand over everything out. Verbal is what I am doing these days but it difficult to concentrate at times because you have 100 other things which need to be done. How I wish I had got another one month in Boston as it would have given me ample time to finish my GMAT and could have visited some of the schools on my way west. ( I will be within 25 miles of 3 of the schools on my list)

But life is not always easy and as planned........it always throws in surprises..........but this one has turned my world a lil upside down. I am coming to grips with it and it should all work out well.

Take care guys
