Yodlee Yodlee Yooo

It has been over a month since my last post. It was not because of lack of time or events to blog but my conscience. Yes my conscience. The past few weeks my mind has been occupied with someone elses life and problems. I have a lot to say about it but will restrain myself, because it does not feel right.

Among other things I have taken up Martial Arts, a Japanese style called Kagedo. My group exercise instructor is a seventh level black belt, whatever that means. I guess seven levels above the black belt. He is a good teacher and has been doing this for more than three decades now. So my Tue-wed-Thurs one hour routine has increased to two hours now. By the end of the karate lesson I am somehow revved up for the aerobics class. Endorphins I believe. Me fasting this month has added to the challenge. My level of fitness has definitely increased though I am sure no one can tell by looking at me :-) We did a little bit of sparing yesterday and I was kicked and punched. After a long time I felt physical pain. I guess I will have to kick, punch and defend better to avoid getting kicked and punched.

Another thing taking up my mental time and energy is this whole VISA stamping process. I have filled out the online forms to book the appointment, but the forms get deleted after 7 days, if I don't get the appointment by then I will have to fill them out again. What a pain and what a ridiculous system. Too much to do, too many things to organise before I leave. Because I have to be prepared never to come back with no guarantees whether or not I will get it.

I discovered somethings interesting yesterday and have been hooked since. It is Yodlee. If you don't know about it may be it is a good time to check it out and see what you think.......
