License to survive

I need to thank Appu for the lovely theme of the blog. Simple and Elegant. Thank you bebzer. There was a time when we had just entered the portals of IIT when the first question we would ask each other was ‘ hawa kya hai?’, meaning what is your AIR (All India Rank)? That was … Continue reading »

Only silence

The payment gateway for the online shop continues to be an enigma.We are still trying to figure out the compatibility issues for integration. And of course there is a huge cost attached to it. There are no free lunches anyway. The team is settling down to the absence of Bhagat. Narendra Rana has taken over … Continue reading »

Safety and Security

To ‘reclaim’, ‘ To recover’ all that has been lost over the years. That would definitely be a very tall order indeed. Sometimes the losses extend over generations. Emotional and financial. The emotional losses are not even visible. The running away, the hiding, the fear, the deprivation, the abandonment, the lies, the manipulation. Even to … Continue reading »

The ‘cover up’

One wicket down today. Ankit is not being able to cope with the pressure at GC. He has taken off today for some flimsy reason, headache and fever. What’s a bloody headache? And fever? Just take medicine and report to work. Suit up, Boot up and show up. I cannot understand this at all. So … Continue reading »

Give me a break

Sometimes I go round the office after everyone has left, before closing it for the day. I feel the spirit in the effort taken to build it. I can see the history behind each system, each printer, each project. Sometimes that is all I have achieved for the day. Just being there. But as it … Continue reading »

One more step,one more day,one more breath.

The notion of being free. How deceptive it really is. The more freedom one wants, the more disciplined one has to become. It is a very stange phenomenon. For one, being physically free does not imply being free mentally. And any kind of freedom brings with it its own bondage. Because to maintain that freedom … Continue reading »

The ‘money’

We are being able to pay the banks. The liabilities are being cleared, slowly but surely. That in itself is huge. Easing off of a certain amount of pressure. The salaries and the bills. Perennial issues. I don’t know what I want to write about. Writing is all I know I guess. Appu says we … Continue reading »

The calls, clients,banks,payments,instalments,house,rations,dal,chawal,atta,gas,breathing,the looking good and in the middle of all this seeking,believing, hoping against hopes that love might be existing somewhere. That humanity might still be alive. And so we have advertisements beaming out flashes of a happy family, of a … Continue reading »

Back off

‘Back off’. This is the message we sent out to a real estate client who was breathing down our back. Allow us to breathe. We are here to offer our services. Not to sell our ‘self-respect’. Actually there is an inversely proportional relationship between the two. The more self-respect one is willing to give up, … Continue reading »

Small mercies

How does it feel when an ongoing war is over? How does it feel to see the loss, the dead bodies littered all over the battle field, the loss of relationships, of sanity, of self respect? Even if the war has been won? Does the victory matter anymore? or the fact that we have survived? … Continue reading »
