...sudden death

-

It was wednesday afternoon, the last week had been exciting with the extra monday holiday of Holi. Our products for which we had worked/ fought/ synchronized endlessly were finally going live. An early meeting was called upon with our European bosses... all of us skipped lunch, since we knew this was going to be a last meeting for some of us. After a moment of silence in the conference room... the announcement came...as i heard through the first few lines of the sentence my brain was not believing my ears.It was like a sudden miss-communication between my organs. Strangely the laughter and smiles among us didnt cease, somehow the weirdness of the news itself didnt allow us to believe that such a thing has happened....but in the end we all had to accept that...
Opera India had officially closed down and everyone was laid off.

My mind had an instant boost of crazy thoughts...no i wasnt depressed, but i was surely unhappy. I had just syncd into this new system... Opera was one of the places where i was happy, contributive and never felt like work...it was all a part of life...I had just started cooking well...Just settled down in my cozy apartment... office had just shifted..icards on my table were yet to be printed... all this gone...in a split second?...wasnt easy to belive or digest..

But i guess one has to move on...it was like a sudden death of something you had just fallen in love with...dunno if i will get the same team...same work and same environment anywhere else...but yes it surely was one of the rare ones i have experienced.

Moving out of this planned city with an unplanned surprize..was the least expected.
Life goes on...as i continue to fight out my odds.
Miles to go before i sleep...

Goodbye Opera.Goodbye Chandigarh...

dawn to dusk of life...

As strong Amber sunlight breaks out at dawn...I wait patiently outside the airport bidding goodbye to my parents once again. Staying away for last 7 years from parents has a feeling of a different kind...and maybe the thought never crossed my mind that time has passed by in a jiffy....thanks to the "be practical...avoid being over emotional"  value your family ...being strong was always more important.  Everyday as the sun rises over the horizon life takes a new meaning a new dimension. But we stay oblivious to the change...because we are focussed into our lives, focussed on being successful or winning smaller battles. Growing up is so much similar to a day...starting at dawn with little or no idea of the rest of the world... And then slowly u get to know the world with more and more knowing u reach a peak a time when u think u know the whole world... Just like the sun in noon...and then starts the evening a pleasant experience where u slowly give into the sunset of life...

Around 8 days after i first started blogging....i wrote an entry where i pronounced my new journey.This is the entry Link to the blog entry . It was a new shine...a new spirit and ofcourse it all began with the purchase of something that belonged to me....my new phone.. yes i had bought a brand new phone for myself.It was a gift from me to myself...and yes it was completely bought by my own kadi mehnat...And guess what around 2 and a half years later i have finally shifted to a new handset...a brand new phone...a Nokia N73...another piece of technology has entered my life. But yeah i would firstly like to thank my old phone for serving me loyally till the end...so much so that its still working fine and i have decided not to give it away but keep it as my backup...it needs some rst now after how i have treated it. However on philosophical front it seems very interesting to see that at that time i had just started my new life...a brand new start an erase and rewind and even today as i ...

Parameters ..of success

-
the parameters of success are so varied and the way we look at them also create illusions which are not what we think or have thought of but what we see and endear to desire out of momentary outlooks and then the thoughts of wonder linger around just to deluse our journey to our existing preset goals which get lost in the mist of the new illusions..... simple honest goals disrespected in the mist of worldly influences and short definitions of momentary fame called success
