My Weekend - Nothing Technical about it :)

This was the first weekend where I was much more relaxed after coming to Augusta. In fact, this week there was no major grocery purchasing scheduled, no other stuff to be purchased.

Saturday
On Saturday I relaxed a bit and talked to my family for long time. After that I went to near by book store - Books A Million and it was a very good experience. Then I watched the movie "Pink Panther" and enjoyed a lot.

Sunday
On Sunday, I subscribed to lots of magazines related to programming that I always wanted to get - MSDN, SQL Server Magazine, ASP.NetPro, Code-Magazine and Dr. Dobbs Journal. Then I also purchased a couple of books from MS-Press because for the first time I found a complete comparison/ step by step guide on C# in a book in so simple terms. I was quite excited to learn about structs vs classes in details. I'll read more when I get the book. Then I went ahead and had long calls with my family back in India. It always feels good when you can talk to your loved ones :)

In the afternoon I went to the temple. It was Mahavir Jayanti celebration their. My Wife Arti sang a Bhajan which everybody appreciated. All the people complimented her on her voice. After that we just went for some groceries (not too much ;)) and came back. She cooked Pao-Bhaji for me :D

I had a call with my friend Vishal Doshi here in Augusta. He's an amazing guy who helps almost everybody. He was instrumental in helping me in settling in Augusta. In fact, he's the one who helped me in getting my car, most of the stuff, getting around, introducing to people etc. I'm planning to go to Jagjit Singh's Ghazal program next weekend with him. I'm sure it'll be an enjoyable trip.

Look forward to more technical stuff during the week :)
