Finally...end of a relay!!


"It's been a hard day's night, i have been working like a dog...i should be sleeping like a log". - Beatles..love these lyrics when tired and out of life.

Enjoy the song - Hard Day's Night!!

Last two weeks have been frantic..heavy duty meetings..new acquaintances..frenzy people..crazy discussions..pointless arguments..endless drives..sleepless nights..to say the least. One of those periods in life where you do not realize what's around you and get carried away by the fast pace of life...no regrets though.

Can't just get over the relay of meetings and overshoot in timings we had over the last 2 weeks. at work. Offshoot discussions, multiple layers of debates, no single mission all contributed to the hectic schedule. The worst part is to play roles in bits and pieces. I ain't no good at that.

When finally done with it, i expressed my relief with a 2 hour sleep. Goodness me, it so relaxed my nerves and mind. Now all set to have a 'Fun-filled Friday'.

During one of these days, i met people with negativity towards life. and ragged behavior, after which i feel more confident with all that i am. I am glad i met them as that ascertains me the value of my life which provides me with such opportunities.

During the same time, I also ventured out to do one of the silliest..adventurous..crazy..'out of nowhere' acts of driving all the way to London just to watch a movie acclaimed by all genres of people..'VEDAM'. The 'out of nowhere' experience is not a result of sheer act but he manner and timing of it. Can't explain everything here..will post the experience sometime soon. All i can say for now is the experience was worth it!!

Now the all so happy part...my travel to Hyd on 21st of June..Yay!! excited!!

And when my travel plan to Hyderabad broke out i was in no position to relish it..But it has sunk in now albeit another travel plan. Packing and stuffing all the incredibles into one case is not an easy job...infact i feel that i should get paid for that too..but no idea who would do the payment to me. 

Even after traveling like rain..i hate packing up my unorganized and randomly placed items into one baggage. It reminds me of 'living life in a suitcase'...believe it or not, i had done it and not without atleast 30 kgs of lugguage with me when i was in the US and Canada last..kept moving from one place to another for every 5 to 7 days..raged to death with packing and shifting i should say.

Nevertheless, 'No pain, No Gain!!' Alrite folks..my next post would be from Hyd, if at all i can buy some time for it, or after i am back in the UK...hopefully with a BANG!! :)

A typical workday...

When everything falls in place around you, the world you live in seems to be heaven..it was one such day i had at work. I woke up to heavy showers of rain only to realize i had to hurry to catch the early morn meeting at work. reached office..got the work going with morning rusty musings. These days it is nothing but meetings all the way..from 830 hrs to 1800 hrs i was trying to 'satisfy' different set of people by attending them and providing info and clarifications on what i presumed was obvious. But as my profession says, irrespective of who it is and what is asked for, oblige with more than worth customer's bucks.

By lunch i had already completed a couple of long meetings and discussions trying to explain nothing more than what i had been doing for the tenure of my stay in UK...at lunch time we, the team, had started cracking 'naansensical' jokes on people around in native language or our own Hindi while gulping stuff through throat. Quick lunch and back to business, customers waiting to allure, with questions though...oooohh!!you bad mind, c'mon after all i ain't into 'rhandi baazi'!! pause..or am i on parallel to it?? wateva...a pretentious smiley on my face with logical (or not so logical) answers to make them feel better with sounds of 'oops!!' here and there as even the product does not turn up to be a support during these times of heavy self betrayal as much as the management,  if something goes wrong.

In the end, closed all discussions on a successful note with a broad smile on the face..this time for real..not because of the success but the relief of being revealed from the torture of explicit feeling of self betrayal and modesty uncalled for. I was swift to pack up for the day and head home for a quick nap..like ever ended being a 3 hour sleep..all in all, it was a smooth and neat stroll in the park and good display of wits to keep the attention of the audience. At last 'I' also am satisfied!! YAAY!! not a bad thing once in a while..required at the fag end of every hectic day.

Referring to the very first line of the post..everything had fallen in place and i had fallen with it..'in line' with it..."no confusion only great combination!!" ;)..now doesn't that make a place for heaven?? or may be not...

I opine that if everything around you is just perfect, then something in you ain't right..coz 'NOTHING can be PERFECT' neither mother Nature nor Sachin Tendulkar!!' I now stand corrected "When everything falls in place around you, you fall with it, and then the world you live in seems to be heaven".
