A long journey

Posted on 02/12/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Time takes time. Anything worthwhile takes time. Thats the whole deal. To let time take time. To let the important settle and to let the unimportant flow away. Everything is fairly under control. Chandan is comfortable with the online shop. Ashok and Hariom are moving forward with the software development using open source GIS. Chandrakant … Continue reading »

‘Money or peace’

Posted on 05/11/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

A huge trailer rammed into my car from behind as I was driving back from the office past midnight. The entire backside of the car was crushed and it is a miracle that me and another team member, Chandan (who needed a drop to Nehru Place) were unhurt. I managed to drop Chandan and get … Continue reading »

On this Earth

Posted on 11/10/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

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 »

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 »

Fullness and emptiness

Posted on 23/04/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

The books in the house are in the same condition as my ‘insides’. Tattered and shattered. I lost faith in books the night my stuff got thrown out on the roads due to non-payment of rent and me and my daughter spent a night on the roads. It has been a long journey since then, … Continue reading »

Thus far and no further

Posted on 09/03/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

It has been a long time. I have been travelling. Met Poonam yesterday who has recently lost her husband. What can I say? Grief is such a poignant emotion. Only silence can do justice to it. ‘words’ with all their large canvas can never express the depths and heights of feelings. At most they are … Continue reading »

All that matters

Posted on 23/12/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

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. Each ones’ journey is unique and each ones’ starting point is also different. And that any comparison is uselss and baseless. No crisis … Continue reading »

Hands up

Amma has been irritating me since morning. Kundan (He and his wife are running a beauty parlour and he often comes over to talk about his business) came over early morning after working a night shift and wanted to have breakfast. Now Amma is not used to cooking in the morning as both me and … Continue reading »

Thanksgiving

Posted on 28/10/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

Slowly but surely the wheels of fortune seem to be turning. Even as I write this, I am scared that it is not real, that I am just imagining things, that we will be trapped forever in this debt trap. That freedom and abundance is not for us. That being a woman is my biggest … 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 »
