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 [...]

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 [...]

Our outgoing mail server works intermittently. And when it does, it is like ‘Bingo’, what a miracle. We try and send as many mails as possible. The rest of the time, we use our personal e-mail id’s. The server sits in the UK and the incoming mails are never a problem. But the outgoing is [...]

At one point in time, when I came out of active alcoholism, it was extremely important that I became part of the system, paid the bills on time, ensured that the house remained clean, that the meals were cooked and the usual jazz.
But increasingly, this is just not enough. It feels like all these parameters [...]

And the life in between..
My mother was always worried about the bottomline, the roof over our head, the money inflow, the bills, the marriage of her daughters, the fixed deposits, the running of the house, the quality of the food, the appearance, the looking good part. And she was an efficient housekeeper. The stuff she [...]

Finally got some uninterrupted time to go for a walk and connect with the trees today. And I looked at the vast expanse of green before me and wondered if I could ever be that serene and peaceful in my life.
But then I guess the trees and the grass really have no bills to [...]
