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 [...]

To be content

Shivaji went to the bank today and the situation has become very grim and serious. The TOD we had taken for executing the Yashi project has become a gullitone around our neck. We have been given an ultimatum to clear it by September 10 else they will find ‘ways and means’ to recover it. I [...]

To lose and start again

Appu and her team danced very well today at the teachers’ day celebrations. It is always a proud moment to watch her perform. I am glad her efforts have paid off.
A junior also read an extract from a letter written by U.S President Abraham Lincoln. I had read it earlier, had even put it up [...]

The greatness of aloneness

It has been a lonely day. I did all the tasks I was supposed to do. I went to the AAI office in the morning. This time round the reception guy had been pre-informed about my visit so there was no chaos. The NOC (No Objection certificate) officers could not give me a lot of [...]

From CO to CEO

I reached AAI office well before time today. I even missed my walk (which is very important for me, not for the physical exercise but for the connection with the trees). The person at the reception was rude and uncouth and I did lose my cool for a while. The word ‘reception’ comes from the [...]

‘To not do anything’

The meeting with the AAI guys has been re-scheduled for tommorrow morning. There was a shifting of programs and it was difficult for me to reach their office at the given time. The list of queries (which is endless) is ready with me ( at least what is not clear, is clear to me).
Dimpy is [...]

yesterday,today and tommorrow

More studying in the morning for the presentation at AAI. After a long time am studying 3-D surfaces,angles,slopes from an aviation point of view. Abhi bhi bahut kuch samajh mein nahin aaya. Have a meeting with the AAI guys on Monday. Will have to ask them to take an ‘extra class’ for me. The presentation [...]

A day of ‘meetings’

And yesterday was a hectic day. Two meetings scheduled in different parts of the city. With the roads and the traffic jam (and the constant honking), it was a nightmare. The first meeting was with a client dealing with infrastructure and the second was with the real estate guys. There is history associated with the [...]

Look to this day

It has been raining incessantly in Delhi for the past few days. The drains are clogged, the roads are jammed and the clothes are wet. We have no idea of dealing with rains on a continuous basis. And our infrastructure is more geared to lack of water (from the Gods above) and etiquettes rather than the abundance [...]

Bread from a hardware store

We will be making that presentation for the real estate client. So that is great news (except for the fact that I will have to study yet again). Our sample data for the North east cities is being circulated and hopefully something will work out. A few enquiries for training have been trickling in. So [...]
