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 [...]

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 [...]

Dust unto Dust

My father called today and acknowledged the fact that the family had ‘deserted’ me for the last ten years. That I had survived alone and that in his opinion, I was a ’success’ even though I had not made ’ extraordinary money’. It is a huge statement, a huge awareness. I am glad he said it, even though it [...]

An Emotional Sabbatical

The highlight of the day has been this huge lemon from Assam that Dimpi has gifted to me (it was meant for Narendra but he called in sick so I got the benefit).  Thanks Dimpi. I mean it is the first time that such a huge lemon has been presented to me as if it [...]

’spectacularly unspectacular’

Most of the work in the realm of GIS is given to empanelled companies. And the empanelment is given to companies with a multicrore turnover and a large employee database (in multiples of thousands). So where is the opportunity for an SSI unit? Most of the times we are not able to participate in the [...]

Just being human

I am going through an irritable phase right now. Even small things and events are irritating me. I am not wanting to deal with ‘Amma’, the other part time helps , their lies, manipulation and cunningness. Even if it is for their survival, It takes a lot of energy and I do not have it at [...]

From scalar to being vector

And the presentation for the real estate guys has been postponed. And so has the Atlas. Since it can only be brought out in the next academic year, there is enough time for the publishers to take a decision. The only deadline which is beyond postponement is the clearance of the TOD (Temporary Overdraft) which [...]

The age of innocence

The bank needs 3.5 lakh like now. Else our account will become NPA. Ok. So we are just wondering how to close a project asap. And get an advance. That is like a herculean task.
I mean we are discussing with two potential clients. But two is just that. two. And the probability of closure is [...]

‘Beginnings’

I am learning that ‘beginnings’ are very important, whether of a project or a relationship. It is important to define the money required to mobilize the project, the needs and expectations in a relationship very clearly. And to not compromise on that. To not settle for less. We had asked for 4 lakh from Yashi [...]
