Once upon a time
And so it has come to pass that I have had an accident. The car smashed against a truck while I was driving for work. I was on the right side of the lane and must have been driving between 40-50 km/hour. The truck was in front of me and I have no idea whether … Continue reading
Waiting for Dawn
And what a day it has been! The presentation was a runaway success. The committe members were magnanimous in their praise and apart from giving a standing ovation, they did everything to show their appreciation of the work done. The chairman even said that they themselves could never depict the predictions or the calculations so … Continue reading
The best of the worst
The presentation at the Airport Authority of India is scheduled for tommorrow. There are 17 companies making presentations to the ‘Apellate committee’ and our time could be anywhere in the entire day. So the ‘scene’ for tommorrow is fixed. I showed the edited presentation to the client today and barring a few changes, they were … Continue reading
To create and live a life I love
I love the sound of rain falling on the ground,on the rooftop, on the windowpanes. I love the look of the drenched plants in bright green. And this morning has been quiet and peaceful. Just the sound of rain. Amma just gave me my cups of tea and left me alone. That is a huge … Continue reading

The meeting with the chairman at AAI went ‘well’ (although our height calculations are proving our (the clients’) case to be baseless). I mean we (our real estate client) has appealed for a greater … Continue reading
Life on life’s terms
Appus’ father is here to meet her and she is happy to be with him. He has come to see her after a very long time and I hope they can have a good time together. Me and Appu had gone to Greater Noida yesterday to take a look at the available office spaces. We … Continue reading
A marathon run
The drinking water cooler has conked off in the office (Kya timing hai). And the meeting with the real estate client has been postponed to this coming monday. Everything is getting postponed including the closing of a project. We saw some sites for the office. With a lot of filth in front of them, dingy … Continue reading
Still breathing
If you can run, then you must run. If you can walk, then you should walk. If all you can crawl, then you must crawl. But if all you can do is stand and breathe, then that is what you should do. Just breathe and stay alive. ( My colleague Munesh in IIT Delhi suggested … Continue reading
