‘Main bahut kuch kar sakti thi/kar sakta tha’, an often quoted cliche. To kara kyon nahin? There could be many answers. Many explanations. But they only scrape the surface. What are not visible are our own emotional handicaps. The physical handicaps are only too visible, too much in the eyes. The deeper wounds and lacerations … Continue reading »

‘From Marusthali’

Was feeling a little unwell and yet went to the bank for a meeting for the renewal of the limit. The meeting went alright. The bankers have a positive attitude towards us and hopefully our existing working capital limit will be renewed. So the oxygen supply should continue. On the surface, everything appears to be … Continue reading »

Surviving the trough

The work for the water proofing of the roof of the technical section will begin tommorrow. We pay for the water supply through private tankers and we have to pay to stop the rain water from coming in through our roof. What an irony. The fire guys came apparently to inspect the premises but in … Continue reading »

The ‘cover up’

One wicket down today. Ankit is not being able to cope with the pressure at GC. He has taken off today for some flimsy reason, headache and fever. What’s a bloody headache? And fever? Just take medicine and report to work. Suit up, Boot up and show up. I cannot understand this at all. So … Continue reading »

If you win, you lose,if you lose, you lose anyway.

Is there any game where you lose either way? If you lose, you lose it all, if you win, even then you lose it all. If there is such a game, then ‘enterpreneurship’ is definitey one of them. If you lose, you are on the roads (unless of course you have the assets to sustain … Continue reading »

To de-control

It is a very strange thing. My mother was very conscious of wearing glasses while her photographs were being taken. I think the discomfort has been transferred to me as well. It is very difficult for me to wear glasses all the time although I think the need to do so is amply clear. The … Continue reading »

Just fine

To naaya kya hai? What’s new guys? Absolutely nothing. Its the same grill. The calls, clients,banks,payments,instalments,house,rations,dal,chawal,atta,gas,breathing,the looking good and in the middle of all this seeking,believing, hoping against hopes that love might be existing somewhere. That humanity might still be alive. And so we have advertisements beaming out flashes of a happy family, of a … Continue reading »

Just killing the time

The past, the present, the future. Its all mixed up. one leading to the other. Each overlapping with the other. We keep trying to sort out the present or preparing for the future. But the past needs to be sorted out first. The unfinished work, the relationships which were never closed, the emotional debts, the … Continue reading »

Stay with us

I am a little worried (what’s new?) The lease for this house is getting over and we will need to shift by March end (first the office and now the house). Hopefully, the office will be settled by then and work will not be hampered. ‘Being a tenant’ is such a nomadic experience. One has … Continue reading »

Euthanasia

My mother would be appalled by the way I run the house. The ‘dals’ are not kept in a linear row in the store, the containers are not symmetrical and probably have not been washed for a couple of months now. To top it, we have rats in the house. And for the larger part, … Continue reading »
