A day in my life....

Change is an eternal part of the universe and running away from it doesnt fetch much benefit to the success of life. But at the same time we all are naturally tuned to avert change and get into comfort boxes. It then becomes our duty to consciously fight through our natural inertia and force ourselves out to newer horizons which wait for us to help us prove our potential beyond the usual.  Perhaps thats what human kind has done over the years and hence we have unleashed innumerable potentials to do things which were otherwise considered impossible or beyond human capacity. So why the philosophical start to the entry...well wanted to share a thought which has been long lingering in my brain and perhaps over which i acted recently and successfully moved on. Yes i no more work for IBM, after 2+ years of impacting IBM's intranet and ibm.com i decided to move on. IBM was a great learning which perhaps i will never forget, and i dont say this because i have to... but perhaps there ar...

छोटी छोटी खुशियाँ, उन्हें धुंडने चला मैं  शायद कही गुम हो गयी, छोटी सी जो है  कभी मुस्कान दिल की यूँ ही ले आती है बिना सोचे बिना समझे हमको हसती है  ना past का भूत ना future की चिंता इनके छोटे से लम्हों मैं हमें मस्त कर जाती है  कभी मीठे से चुटकुले, कभी छेड़खानी यारो मैं  कभी icecream की treat , कभी टॉफी so sweet  बिन सोचे बिन समझे टेंशन दूर कर जाती है छोटी छोटी खुशियाँ आज कल बड़ी याद आती है 

भीगे पन्नो की एक कहानी है  आज बारिश को यूँ सुनानी है  लिखा तो बहुत था उनपे  उन्ही शब्दों मैं यह बह जानी है  श्याही चाहे पकड़ न सकी  फिर भी ख्वाबो की दुनिया अनजानी है  कुछ बूंदे ही लगी उन्हें मिटाने फिर भी उसे पहचान अपनी जतानी है  उस श्याही को यूँ दाग न कहो  इन्हें अब भी दास्ताँ जतानी है  भीगे पन्नो की एक कहानी है  आज बारिश को यूँ सुनानी है 

Yes it surely is...with the recent set of activities in life, it has been a ride worth remembering. The line " When you expect the least..." tends to emerge every now and then. After a long time, i managed to go back to mumbai and this time i took a kind of long time off working from home. With all the excitement in my head to show Jo, around and cherish the street food, it all seemed to be going as planned. And then it happened...what happened? well another one of my firsts...I was admitted to the hospital. Little did i imagine that i would be infected by travellers diarehha in my own native city Mumbai.  In medical terms Acute Gastro Entitis, was what i had...the funny thing about diarehha is that you tend to spend more time in the loo then the hospital bed you paid for. After my first set of Drips, glucose via intravenous , i was finally back on track, thanks to the doctors and the near and dear ones to help me along. Every thing went well at the hospital and ...

So 2012 is here...and its already shakin a lots of places. The recent earthquakes were surely a warning for a few. As for my start of the year...well a new and improved life...the married life. As you must have read in the last blog...i got married...now that jyotsna is here..life seems much different. Although its a strong learning period i would say, since marriage is not just about 2 people staying together with permission from the society and family. Its much more than that... Its a giant mixture of cultures, practices mindsets and above all identities. And above all mine being a cross cultural one, has surely exposed me ( and jo too) about the details of our cultures and traditions. The last time i wrote the blog, i had promised for resolutions. Well i did end up making them, but havent published them. Yet to act on them too. But in short, want to focus more of career this year, last year was full of events, with little time available for my career i guess. I will complete 2 y...
