Random notes..

at times, i just sit back and contemplate.. it is fascinating to visualize your short life in such short frames, which give it an animated fervour!

about my education, my career, my loved ones.. the last, sans everything else, make my life complete and sweet!

looking back, i wonder why would i ever want to pursue a techie's career?? and that too in the clique circle of the so called nerds?? why didn't i say a frank yes to a career with the print media, which seemed lucrative and promising?

may be because i was intimidated by the sheer load of responsibilities in the press? where everything you think, speak, and write go noticed the world over? and you get rated by what you write rather than your integrity and morals?

well, for an ardent student, who loved poetry, loved to read everything from PG Wodehouse to Sidney Sheldon to Neruda, a career with the print media should have been a natural choice.. but life is so unpredictable that you, at times, end up in the wrong street...and there you see the compromise between your passion and the bread winner... hehe..

beleive me, am not that cribbin' type you come across in everyday life...

yesterday, i was lying on my bed, looking up at the ceiling.. trying to spot the happiest moments in my life.. and within moments, i said voila....

it is the time when i read out those enid blyton bed time stories to my little bundles of joy, who keep clamouring for more until they are fast asleep...

it is the time when i sip a hot cup of cofee with my wife, discussing all those trivias in our life...

it is the time when i drive my daughter to school, listening to her non-stop conversations, about her friends at school, her class teacher who gifted a small red crayon to her, her new boy friend who said a cheery hello, her new found passion for free hand sketching, and all about those numerous cartoon characters that she watch on CN...

it is the time when i call my mom and say sorry for not being able to call her so often...

it is the time when i say my prayers to God, thanking him for His numerous blessings that make my life full!

so long

Packers and Movers...

yup..u guessed it right...we just moved outta our old office.. it was kinda getting stagnant in terms of space, in terms of coziness and in terms of look n feel... the building was in a low profile residential area.. sans the silence and homely ambience, it was kinda lacking professionalism, failing to accommodate an increasing head count.. and that led us to this setup, a three storied building beside a main street.. i would not say i was thrown offback by the look of it.. but would vouch for the cool ambience, spacious work spaces, reception, office and cool cofee hangouts.. we occupy the first floor..while writing this, i am looking out to the thick coconut grooves,dancing to the tunes of evening breeze... all the way up.. all the way down... and thats the new office..

ye.. i missed it.. our parking lot rocks!!!
