September came so fast and its already the mid of it

Sun was shiny outside but it wasn't quite warm. It was a bit chilly, which worked out okay to make some breakfast in the morning. I had the windows opened, the air was circulating perfect. After breakfast, around 1pm, decided to take a shower and then head outside to Erik's bike shop for the shoes.

I was going to take the bike in the car trunk but I changed my mind, it seemed easier to ride. However, I ran into a small challenge. Going right, left I finally made it to Erik's bike shop. Then it was the time to pick shoes, it was simple, the same shoes has been asking me to buy it from years. Somehow the color I have been looking doesn't come for road biking and indoor biking. Its just that I would have really loved it from Matt from the Minnetonka location. Last time, I called whoever was working said, Matt is no longer with the company. So, I made it to Maple Grove location.

He explained few things and I had him put the pedals on my bike. The pedals have been sitting in the box from exactly two years. Yes, it has been that long. I put on the shoes, tried what Brian the sales guy said. I went outside to ride, I thought I was natural, got hang of it so quickly. The next time, I was trying to brake and take my foot off the pedal, didn't happen on time. Before I could react, I was on the ground baam. Did it hurt ? Yes, luckily it didn't hit elbow but around, I am not sure what is that part called.

After about 5 minutes of try, I decided to ride back to get home. I picked my shoes and old pedals and headed home. It was pretty good except one time, I thought I was going to fall again but, I saved myself. Finally after years of being scared, I did it. I felt once too but that comes with it.

Second Monday of September this year

Time flies, we all know that. I remember the new year 2017, I was quite busy getting all the release docs and all other things ready before going home. While getting those things all ready, it was February, then before I realized, I was back.

Summer came, and summer went pretty quickly, didn't feel like I got anything done this year. Travel was pretty much nothing, other than DFW. Even then, it was nice to see familied and friends there. Soon after Labor day weekend came, babu's janakiu ceremony I reached DFW again. This time the trip was quite different

I was able to give time to most people, I even stayed 33.3% time at each cousin and friend's house and with their family. It was an awesome feeling with different set of people, different house, and different set of kids.

The trip wasn't quite relaxing as the whole time I was there, sufffered from Sinus headache due to heat. It took abnout a week to get over that. And now today, I am sitting down with my laptop as always, thinking when I can go visit them. Looking at ticket for back to back two weeks, one for East Coast and another for back to South. Lets see what tomorrow says.

Until then I will bye bye. Oh before I forget here is my new pair of shoes, I am waiting for.
