Project Bedlam...

It’s been chaotic to say the least … these past few days … well past month I would say but last ten days have been like the final assault … Normandy landing … operation desert storm … project bedlam I can call it… just that we are not even at the climax …. If this is the pre-cursor to it all who wants the climax … rite..?...

I have forgotten what dinner is … for the past 10 months I guess … but these days it McAlloo-TIkki n Coke that’s keeping me runnin… this would probably kill me but there’s no way out … Ah but there always is …. It just needs to be found … in the right place … so sayeth Dumbleedore :)

The moon is out after a long time today … surrounded by dark clouds but still able to radiate. It’s good to see it … lots n lots cometh back ….
We had the quarterly open house today … No increments this year was the bottom, top, middle line … the crux of 3 hours of precious, billable time spent. @-)

On a parting note …. Lights will guide you home …. And I will try and fix you!

Luc n Late Nites....

Just saw a distant cousin (whom I have never ever met and the only connection I have with him is his mom is on my fb friends list) sing this amazing Tamil song with just his voice and no instruments … will post the link here after getting permission over here … but it was very good and I am not such a big tamil music fan – ironical but true. Its funny come to think of it… he has been born n brought up in the US and he is a better exponent of classical music that quite a few people I know who live in India … n that includes me. People out there give more importance to Indian culture (in some ways) and this is a subjective thing absolutely… guess its natural. We mortals, sitting here in India try to ape the west while our country people there try to bring the India to their cold n dollar rich homes there. It may be coz my earlier generation was born n bred in this country and went there post 20+ years of India stay. Will the same case be applicable for those in my generation who have been born n brought up there? Parental n community pressure may have had them learn karnatic classical music or Hindustani or tabla or harmonium but will they go ahead and put the same pressure or have the same expectations from their kids? May be …. May be not … have some relatives there and also a lot of friends so it is always the same thing that I hear or see. Ah well such is the way of life… :)

Saw Luck and it was the most amazing DKD read Dimaag Ka Dahi movie …. Shruti Hassan was disappointing to say the least … her father n mother’s shoes too big to be filled may be… but she looks sweet. She has brown eyes… but with some white marks in the cornea (would that be the brown part of the eye? )…. Oh but Harry Potter was awesome last week. Totally !!! Expelliaramus !!!

What am I doing here u may ask … up so late … n I would say work… still in office … damn these bugs n payments n bills … they are killing me :(( sneaking in some lines before I go back …

Waiting for some news … anything good … a bike ride in the rain perhaps… or is it too risky…

Bon Nuit mes amis

Updates...

It’s been a while since I penned down anything … Has been a bad 6-8 weeks with work pressures reaching Godzilla levels … it still continues and probably would do so for the next couple of months atleast… damn! Wish I had won a jackpot and could relax off its interest.
Add to this has been the pain of moving to a new apartment….. Apartment … hmm I say that for ease of understanding but its Bombay so apartments can also be a single room n so is mine … I could have called it a studio apartment but then typical studios are supposed to be huge and mine is miniscule :D The only saving grace is a balcony with a view anyone in Bombay would kill for … Ah well maybe not kill but you get what I mean … just some snaps to corroborate my claims…

Seems like I live in a bird sanctuary but nope...nadaa..illay...nahi... it still is Goregaon-Mumbai!

Bombay aka Mumbai is on a tsunami alert for the next couple of days and offices have been doing a lot of BCP (read Business Continuity Planning). Many companies worked last Saturday and have declared Friday as off while some (as dada, my colleague here just mentioned) have allowed their employees to work from home. Not our company, at least nothing officially yet coz we are in Goregaon which is on a higher level comparatively. Let’s see what the morrow brings …

Got usurped by an evil warlord so had to take a break …. But just came back from the dome in our office building and gosh is it windy today. Bombay can take over the title of windy city from Chicago by the looks of it…
Work beckons … so more later… Ciao

A Forward I Received ....

My Father sent me this forward today... (he does that a lot these days) and it got me thinking ... of so many things ... least of which was about a sparrow...

Gr-attitude has 3 Ts.
Trusting, Trusworthy & Tolerating.....
The first 2 persons in our life showed us this from day 1
Is it not long since, we have forgotten.

We may Remember Occasionally
who guided us WITH LOVE& doting
when we could not understand- right& left shoe.
We are son or daughter or SIL or DIL to some one, who are unable to sleep thinking about: whether we remember them at all.

We are so busy in our own wonderland, we forget 2 things:

1. That someone is eagerly awaiting for our call/ care.
2. One day we also would be in their shoes doing 2 things.

a. Eagerly awaiting for the call/ care from someone whom we could not learn to stop loving AND......
b. How we did not give a little time for our own care-givers when they needed it as badly as we do now.

But would that not be too late !!!!...

Watch this Video & give a little thought; we could avoid that
guilt atleast in our sunset years.....
