Lease for 24 hours
End of the day. Very hectic. Two meetings ( as if a lot is achieved in meetings), one conference call and in the end a discussion with the team. I hope we have achieved the ‘aaj ki dhyadi’ today. Labourers that we are in the realm of GIS. We have to earn our daily bread. … Continue reading
Mass walkout -Part II
Once when there was no money and no work. And now when there is no work but a reasonable amount of stability (meaning that at least the salaries are being paid on time). The issue, which on the face of it is a non-issue and yet has been the biggest issue: ‘male ego’. Have been … Continue reading
Still on the battlefield
Narendra Kumar Das has left GC. A huge loss. One step backwards for GC. But maybe it was time for him to check out new horizons, new associations. He has contributed to GC for a very long time and all of us wish him all the very best. We collected a few copies of the … Continue reading
Surviving the trough
The work for the water proofing of the roof of the technical section will begin tommorrow.

water leakage in the toilet, no water supply last evening, e-mail not working and so on. The details. The small details take up big time. Is this what life is all about? The smaller details.

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

On this Earth
Walkout in a group (bhed chaal), definitely provides one moment of glory. One moment of feeling important. Gives that one moment of revenge. A high. But after that there is still a life to face, a career to build and the real issues. Because the real issues do not walk out of our lives just … Continue reading »
