I'm not a religious person. I'm more spiritual, I believe. Earlier this year, I have been tested like I have never been tested before.
There have been so many trials in all aspects of my life -- love, family, work, friends, self. My emotions were overflowing I didn't know how to
contain myself. I was holding on to my virtues tightly.
Then I realized all the while I was seeking for material things.. until last Friday, while driving to work, I realized there is one thing that I really need -- peace. Peace on earth, peace on our hearts, peace of mind. There are millions of non-material things I can wish for you but this is what my heart yearns. Today, the 3rd of Nov - Zero Fourteen as you (will hopefully) blow the candle on your cake, I'll be praying and wishing you for one thing, peace.
I know it is not much Reetu, but this all I have to say - I will always remember the relationship we had and that was very special to me. I understand that there is no reason to be together again since you do not feel the same for me. Be sure that someone else will conquer your love, so I can only wish you the best.

Halloween ;)

So, this years Halloween was themed 60s - Over The Rainbow where you'd come dressed in colorful outfits.
As the previous years company was generous enough to subsidize us 30bucks each to get our costumes. I tagged along during office hours with the costume hunting party to the Halloween City store in Annapolis. It seems every year the costume prices seems to be doubling!!! I was not going to spend more than what was given to me ;) LOL
Anyway, in the end I picked up an orange jumpsuit in hopes of dressing up as an inmate. It was the cheapest I could find to fit my thirty dollar budget lol But I did customize it with a number tag I made and then sew it onto the jumpsuit and a ball & chain(which broke within half an hour of my wearing it). The party itself was pretty darn amazing.. the DJ was spinning every amazing track you could think (including Michael Jackson's Thriller). The dancing never stopped. I had a blast! but I did end up leaving earlier as I had to attend some other commitments.
Photos to be updated soon :)

Mercedes - I drive

I've trade my 2013 Malibu to get a NEW Mercedes C300 Sport. It has been 3 days since I got it and figured it would be nice to share my thoughts.
Some background: This is my first very own Mercedes since I've had my license. I have rented them, drove my friends but this is different. It is mine - well technically will be mine soon as I pay off the loan ;)
Exterior: Love it. Every line flows beautifully, a great combination of subtle and aggressive with a slight lean on aggressive with the Sport body style. The Arctic White paint job shines brilliantly in the sun and the seemingly glows in the night with reflections from cars and street lamps. It basically blends in when I want it to and still manages to turn heads. And the fact that it matches with my Bright White Jeep Wrangler is AWESOME!!

Interior:
This
thing is a vault. A comfortable vault filled with great materials from
the seats to the dash. The seats are made of a hand sewed leather.. pretty comfortable. The dashboard materials
are a matte soft touch plastic with trim, everything from the
stalks to the buttons feel top notch.
POWAHH:
Perhaps
this car is a dog to most but for me it is great, it puts out 248 hp
and 251 pound feet torque. It defaults to ECO mode on Start up which
includes Start/Stop engine tech and starts you off in second gear. For
all the traffic I've dealt with in the city this function has saved me a
lot of gas. At first I thought it was a gimmick and it would be
annoying (Start/Stop) but it's seamless. Switch over to Sport mode and
that's when the C300 comes alive, it puts down it's power quickly when I
need it and I can easily get up to speeds that are beyond what's
posted. The C300 is a 4Matic with a rear bias and it handles
exceptionally well especially around tight bends. Many people complain
that AWD isn't fun but I've been having a blast!
Ride:
Amazingly
comfortable even with these 3rd world country roads that Baltimore Dept of
Transportation haven't maintained in a decade. It absorbs bumps with
ease and never feels harsh.
My Closing Thoughts:
- When you get a Mercedes Benz, people's whole perception of you changes. Friends expect you to blow money fast when you are reluctant to spend money on crap, no I don't want to spend $18 to see the Dracula Untold "But you gotta Benz yo!" they retort. To me this is just a car, a car that hit all of the things that I wanted for a price that fit perfectly in my budget.
- People want to race, all the time. I'll be at a red light minding my own business and a guy will pull up in his Acura TSX, stare at me, chirp his wheels and speed up to the next stop light. I then casually drive to the next light taking full advantage of the ECO Start/Stop. This also takes place on highways with various BMW/Audi drivers attempting to prove to me that their German car is best German car. I never entertain it for a second.
- Men grill me. I can be at a red light and look around and see a guy with this angry look on his face staring right at me whether they are in another car, standing on the corner or crossing the street with their girlfriends. It's this look that says "I don't know who you are but I hate your stupid face and your stupid car".
I casually look away because that's lame and jealousy is a female trait.
- Girls grill me. I can be at a red light and look around and see a girl with this sultry look on her face staring right at me whether they are in another car, standing on the corner or crossing the street with their boyfriends. It's this look that says "I don't know who you are but I love your sexy face and your sexy car".
All in all I'm happy and I thank Mercedes Benz of Cataonsville for making all of this possible!

My reunion with Annapolis Bancorp folks: an unexpected and delightful evening at Union Jacks!
The reunion, “I think it is a wonderful indication of the spirit that helped made this company great,” Patsy said. “The image lives on in these people.”
I cannot believe it has been almost three years since BA was taken over by FNB!! Some folks are missed very much :(
But nevertheless it was awesome to catch up with some of my best-est work buddies :)
