And so I wonder

Posted on 23/11/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Sometimes I wonder, what is more important, to be happy or to be rich, to be able to cook a good meal or to have a good looking balance sheet, or maybe both, to look good or to feel good, to be real or to fake it to make it, to be quiet or hide … Continue reading »

Survival of the fittest

Posted on 21/10/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Its pre-posterous. The president of A block (DDA SFS Flats), Saket complaining and harassing a resident of the same block. I mean this is the best way he could think of proving that he is more powerful. The issue is not the ‘car’ and definitely not its ‘parking’. The issue is the ‘power scale’ and … Continue reading »

‘Let go’

Posted on 31/07/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

The earth will continue to rotate without our help. I wish I could say the same about the office. Saturday has been declared a holiday but it is a major day of operations for the HR/Admin/Accounts. The entire office is cleaned, the systems are scanned for viruses and the accounts are brought up to date. … Continue reading »

To drop it

Posted on 07/06/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Loss of people. The biggest loss. We have lost Shikha. She left the company yesterday. Despite repeated discussions and multiple efforts to re-align her vision with that of the company, we have failed. Myself, Narendra,Ankit,Rahim. All of us tried. It is difficult to be a part of GC.I guess letting go is as important as … Continue reading »

I need to go

Posted on 28/04/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Silakari is back in our lives (Oh God!),with a lot of accusations of how we do not know our job. I mean what he should be saying is that he is himself not clear about the specifications or that he does not know how to get a job done. In place of that he is … Continue reading »

The facade

Posted on 04/02/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

A stalemate with Silakari of Aakar Consultants. Yet again. I think its a dysfunctional system. Working with the government. Secrecy,lack of clarity, mis-use of power (those on the seat are brazen about using it to humiliate others like the current STP of Ajmer, he refuses to take our calls, refuses to listen). And that is … Continue reading »

Unmanageability,yet again

Posted on 05/12/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

Long back when I was trying to pick up a loan from Dena bank and it had been sanctioned by the head office, the branch manager asked me, ‘what is your problem?’ ‘Why can’t you be happy at home?’ I mean that for me epitomises the context in which ‘women’ ( the so called weaker … Continue reading »

The inside and the outside

Posted on 03/04/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

And finally, it seems that I can heave a sigh of relief, for now. There is work, money is on its way (unbelievable), enough to meet our bills and I just don’t know how to be happy. My gloomy face is stuck to me. well, old habits die hard. Me and my daughter are planning … Continue reading »
