‘A new choregraphy’

Posted on 16/01/2012 by Aparna.Burjwal

Chairman, PACT Lucknow has sent a backdated letter to our bankers. Very strange. How can a government body send backdated letters? It is backdated because our postal department is not so bad that a letter would take more than three months to travel from Lucknow to Delhi. Misuse of power. Misuse of the government stamp. … Continue reading »

‘The Race’

Posted on 12/01/2012 by Aparna.Burjwal

IIT ke naam par ‘dhabba’. I used to think it applied to me you know. Because I had not been able to anythng spectacular. Anything pathbreaking. But I can change that opinion now. I may not have done my alma mater proud but I am not a ‘dhabba’. And the change has occured yesterday as … Continue reading »

License to survive

Posted on 29/09/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

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 »

Taking a chance

Posted on 09/05/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

I always end up hurting the people I love most. Appu wanted ‘Mothers’ Day’to be special for me.She bought a card and a gift (a lovely candle) for me. She also touched my feet. The gesture brought tears to my eyes. I mean I have hardly been a ‘mom’ like ‘mom’ in the traditional sense. … Continue reading »

To consolidate what we have and to not run after what we do not have. That in itself is a huge task for us. That would include the team members, the existing PC’s, plants, clients. If we can keep the plants alive and healthy, maybe we can take care of the human beings in the … Continue reading »

From CO to CEO

Posted on 31/08/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

I reached AAI office well before time today. I even missed my walk (which is very important for me, not for the physical exercise but for the connection with the trees). The person at the reception was rude and uncouth and I did lose my cool for a while. The word ‘reception’ comes from the … Continue reading »
