London by night
It's been a while since the last time I went out for a drink in West London.. So Saturday seemed the best opportunity to revisit familiar places and catch up with old friends, which unfortunatelly I haven't seem for a while.. So after the best dinner ever at Gaucho's it was a short walk in leicester square followed drinks in Jewel and clubbying till late at Paper..
Looking forward for a re-run!!!

Its time for overtime…
Going back home from work? Most people are crammed in the tubes, standing on the trains, sweating on the busses... But no, not me....
20:15, on the train back to London 
Think that's late? Nope.. I've seen worse than that 
. Last Friday saw me coming home after 22:00 and occasionally not even returning at all, just getting a room in a random hotel and sleeping next to the office, as the last train has gone. As one of my colleagues pointed out, people in our profession tend to forget what normal working hours are like. Wierd but true. Leaving work at 19:00 seemed normal, while leaving at 17:30 seems like working half day. Going out on a weekday seems nearly impossible when you are the man on the critical path.
On the bright side, its not always like that. There will definitely be times where nothing's happening in the office and the occasional day to work from home.
It took me some time to realise, but there is one thing that you must learn in consulting:
Appreciate and make the most of the down-time that you might have.. Because it wont last for long...
Beautiful Things… (by designedbyann)
I must admit I am an avid Vogue reader. I haven’t missed an issue of the Greek edition since it first came out in March 2000. OK, I exaggerate here a bit, because I lost a great deal of issues when I studied in the UK for my master’s degree - but then again whenever I came back home at holidays, or whenever someone came for Greece I ordered the last issue!! And whenever I am abroad I usually stock up on international issues as well (American, UK and German Editions – damn! I have to learn more foreign languages).
Being sick…
Its been a long time since the last time I was sick. It was back in India, April 2008. But time has come and for no obvious reason (maybe it was a stressful week...?), I was down with fever for the last 4 days... Fever was bad, however, the "memories of India" that flashed back this morning were far worse.... Being stuck in the house for 3 days makes you realise how small the internet really is, and how much boring TV can get... Come on flu! I've taken your best shot, now its MY turn..
And as usual, Monday morning and everything will be fine!
PS. On the bright side, Autumn arrangements are almost booked!
