A marathon run

The drinking water cooler has conked off in the office (Kya timing hai). And the meeting with the real estate client has been postponed to this coming monday. Everything is getting postponed including the closing of a project.
We saw some sites for the office. With a lot of filth in front of them, dingy and [...]

Still breathing

If you can run, then you must run. If you can walk, then you should walk. If all you can crawl, then you must crawl. But if all you can do is stand and breathe, then that is what you should do. Just breathe and stay alive. ( My colleague Munesh in IIT Delhi [...]

‘To not do anything’

The meeting with the AAI guys has been re-scheduled for tommorrow morning. There was a shifting of programs and it was difficult for me to reach their office at the given time. The list of queries (which is endless) is ready with me ( at least what is not clear, is clear to me).
Dimpy is [...]

When the time is right

Our outgoing mail server works intermittently. And when it does, it is like ‘Bingo’, what a miracle. We try and send as many mails as possible. The rest of the time, we use our personal e-mail id’s. The server sits in the UK and the incoming mails are never a problem. But the outgoing is [...]

‘Data Mandi of GIS’

I had a meeting with a real estate company today. The ‘real estate’ needs to use GIS. Sounds good. The meeting was at 11:00 in the morning (and mornings are a bad time for a meeting, mornings are for tea, thinking and planning). Since I have not really been meeting people over the last few [...]

Here and now

There are times when there is bankruptcy in all areas of one’s life, emotionally,spiritually and financially. That is what I am experiencing at the moment. I have nothing to offer to anyone, not even to myself. To sustain GC has been more than a 24*7 job. It has ensured that I have not been available [...]

Proving a point

Went to the police station last night after leaving office. Submitted a copy of the complaint sent to the police commissioner. It just feels as though there is no energy left. I am feeling drained today.
Shivaji, the accountant was also traumatized yesterday. After the way the landlord behaved with him, he just came and sat [...]

Bits and pieces

We have started serving lunch in the office. I mean that is truly an achievement. Regardless of the whining (mostly mine) about the cash flows, we are actually going ahead with providing lunch to our team members. Achha hi hai. If they leave, there will have at least something to remember us by ( apart [...]

The right direction

My daughter has put me on facebook. I really do not know why she is so keen on having me on facebook. It is a social networking site and I am a completely non-social person. But I guess, she wants me to have friends outside of my work circle and so there I am , [...]

Bon Voyage

Leaving for Ajmer tommorrow morning. It will be a break which has been long overdue. A lot of loose ends needed to be tied up in the office today. I guess there will always be work left undone but I hope I have managed to do the essentials, urgent mails, arrangement of milk,water,ac maintenance,working of [...]
