Back to the basics

Posted on 02/11/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Could not go for a walk today. The keys to the office could not be located and I needed to rush with my set as the team members were standing outside. A lot of unmanageability and chaos. The guard is not well and he was extremely punctual in opening the office. So the morning was … Continue reading »

Muddling along

Posted on 18/10/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

The car is still in the police station. It has been seized at the behest of the RWA, the Residents’ Welfare Association. so this is the welfare they are talking about. Use the power and the position to cohort with the local police to harass women who are trying to be on their own. The … Continue reading »

Mass walkout -Part II

Posted on 10/10/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Once when there was no money and no work. And now when there is no work but a reasonable amount of stability (meaning that at least the salaries are being paid on time). The issue, which on the face of it is a non-issue and yet has been the biggest issue: ‘male ego’. Have been … Continue reading »

Give me a break

Posted on 20/04/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Sometimes I go round the office after everyone has left, before closing it for the day. I feel the spirit in the effort taken to build it. I can see the history behind each system, each printer, each project. Sometimes that is all I have achieved for the day. Just being there. But as it … Continue reading »

For today

Posted on 02/02/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Silakari of Aakar Consultants refuses to pay us. Refuses to take our calls. The last Shiva spoke to him, he wanted us to fax a letter stating (begging) that we need a part payment. The poverty in the minds of people amazes me. We have finished the work. It has been gruelling to collect the … Continue reading »

We survived

We are on the verge of finishing Nagaur and Uniyara. Thanks to Google Earth. And Dimpi. And Sandeep and Shikha.Only the survey of HT-LT lines remains which is being conducted this week. The Hyderabad project is moving ahead and we should be able to deliver a part output by thursday. The rest is inconsequential but … Continue reading »

Unmanageability,yet again

Posted on 05/12/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

Long back when I was trying to pick up a loan from Dena bank and it had been sanctioned by the head office, the branch manager asked me, ‘what is your problem?’ ‘Why can’t you be happy at home?’ I mean that for me epitomises the context in which ‘women’ ( the so called weaker … Continue reading »

Still breathing

Posted on 07/09/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

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 suggested … Continue reading »

Taking a stand

Posted on 06/03/2010 by Aparna.Burjwal

As kids, we got the basics (roti,kapda,makan). No doubt about it. And a good formal education. Nevertheless, we did not get any emotional nurturing or any ‘real’ education. I was daughter no. 2 and that in itself was a very unwanted scenario. And then, I was rebellious,different. So, I was always at loggerheads with my … Continue reading »
