Pack up time

She also created the flash file needed to upload the photographs of the team on the interface of prithvipraroop. And she forced me to watch a movie on TV (something that I have not … Continue reading »

From nowhere to nowhere

Appu has left for Kashipur today after her exams to spend some time with her grandparents and her father. I dropped her to the station before coming to the office.

Sab theek hai. theek nahin hai to ho jayega. All is well or will be well. As well as it can be or should be. The sun will continue to rise without any effort on our part. The earth will also rotate. And yet we feel so powerful. So omnipotent. Kya chakkar hai? I guess … 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 »

Keeping the focus

Appu is having her pre-board exams and I am not being able to be there for her. She is studying on her own and coping alone. My mind is just here and there.

All that matters

Many times I am tempted to compare my life with that of others. My ‘insides’ with the ‘outsides’ of others. And I have to remind myself that each ones’ race is different.

‘THE SYSTEMS’

We have another enquiry from the ‘Airport Authority of India’. Its a strange feeling. Clients walking in on their own. Kaise ho sakta hai? But that is true.

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 … Continue reading »
