I simply call Him Sri. The greatness of the man is simply Wow! A super-soul, not to be expressed in words. In any case I find words to be inadequate to even try and express Sri

Busy Day...

Had a hectic and up-to-the-neck busy day. Its 7:00 PM India time and am waiting for my boss to come back. He's out visiting an uncle of his who has had to be hospitalised. This guy is going thru a rough patch! Me thought why not try and key in a few lines in the breather that I have got. Want to go out and steal a smoke too but writing, ah! that's my first love. Got a load of work out of my way but with the pending work getting postponed the s**t is going to hit the fan soon! The infernal mailbox has again crackled to life and I better get going, first my smoke then the rest.

Change of Scene

Has been ages since I have last used my blog and a lot of water (gallons in fact!) has flowed under the bridge since then. I have had a big change of scene and have transplanted myself in a new city - Kolkata. I am no longer a Delhiete (How do u spell the stuff?) and long live the King! Phew! What a breath of fresh air. Somewhere from the middle of last year I got extremely disenchanted with Delhi - the people, the traffic, my neighbors - the whole freaking lot! To top it all working along with Kiran (someday I gonna write about it!) really took me off the hinghes. Such a lot of missed opportunities to really build a good, classy technology and consulting organisation. Yes! I will write about that also.

Coming to Kolkata was a pure chance. When I last visited my Dad during my mother's first 'back-to-home' (I had lost her last year right after the Durga Pujas) anniversary we were discussing how nice it would be if we could all live together. Back to Delhi I don't know what (maybe Ma!) made me ring up Jishnu, and lo and behold! I find the guy landed in Kolkata! My CV gets mailed, I get interviewed and land a job in the same organisation where Jishnu works.

Packing up was in a real frenzy. Shifted out of Delhi lock, stock and barrel in flat 10 days. Just ran out of there. I am enjoying staying with my Dad and small bro after 14 long years, Yeah! similar to Lord Rama's 'banabash'.
