Welcome 2007!

Well, i thought i wud buy sometime this week as my boss is not there this week in the office!! ;) but i think fortunately that is not the case! i am quite overloaded with my regular work and plus the academic project that i have undertaken! but its definitely fun!

I have started receiving the new year mails, the mails of the horoscopes for year 2007.. mails saying goodbye to 2006, mails renewing the 'contract of friendships for the year 2007', and all the planning going around for bidding goodbye to 2006 and welcoming 2007.... the planning for 31st december! Lots of plans to spend the night in a club, or may be with friends, or just sitting at home with family and enjoy the 'TV programs' that come up! Well, for me, i havent planned anything as of yet.. lets see..

But finally one more year comes to an end.. a year of so many ups and downs.. a year of so many achievements, a year of some failures and year of sorrows and a year of happiness!

Lot of things happened in the past year.. i became manager in Cummins, and then, the very next day i resigned!!!!! and joint another organization at an Engineers level! funny huh? well, but i dont probably regret my decision because i am doing all the new things and uptil now, there is not much repetition of work! and yes, for the current senario, i can say, i am enjoying my new job!

This past year was also the first year of my married life. and as i said in my previous post, it was really a splendid year as far as my married life was concerned!

About the rest, well, there was nothing much other than home n office! so in all a good year for me! and hopefully the next year passes even better.. for me.... and for all of you!!
So heres wishing you all the best for the coming year!! work harder and enjoy each and every moment of you life!

"Life is an ice-cream..... enjoy it before it melts!!"

Is that so.........?

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at what u r studying or ur job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused.

Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone! but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about this only to realize that they are experiencing this or have experienced this b4!

I have experienced some of the things, but not all.. Is this what happens in everyone’s life?

Going back down the memory lane....

last two weeks were so amazing! just great! the whole preparation for the program we had made with the GETs of TFDC, took me back two years in time.. the time when i was a GET in Cummins India. My friend from cummins did leave a comment on my last blog.... and that just gives a swirl bringing out the memories of my first job!

OMPs.. that was what we were called as! and probably were proud to be so.. to get so many privilages under that tag! we were the kings n queens in there for a over a year!

The LC sessions, the trips, the treks (though i didnt go for many!! ;)) the get-togethers, the birthday parties and the sendoffs which we gave to our collegues!

it was so much fun! i still remember the record breaking book reviews which we managed within 3 days! even the rememberance of those moments brings so much excitement from within!

That period of two years, be it spending time in the assembly conf. room, be it having fun in the Learning center, be it sleeping while others are presenting their book reviews, be it getting thrashed by LC ppl and then laughing to no end!

The first official party for Manufacturing in CIL, and hearing to the 'kisse' of my dear friends, chalk (dont be surprised if you are reading this blog), girya, and krishna.. and the way the discussions went still brings a smile on my face as i write these lines!

I dont think any of the GETs in any of the companies i know, had so much fun! and the bonding which was formed because of this, still remains and i hope that it will for the rest of our lives!! (i keep my fingers crossed)

Everyone now is busy a lot.. some to US, some changed jobs (like me.. :)) and some are still there.. in that world where we've had the best of our times!

Sometimes i still feel like going back to to that place, and feel a bit sad about leaving those friends behind.. But the decision i made was a conscious one! and even though, i have left that place and those people behind, that time, those people are and will always be one the best parts of my life!!

A great Party...........!!

After 10 days of continuous work in office, coming back on the 11th day seems to be so boring! And with the absence of my boss in office today, everything for me is at a standstill!
Yesterday was my First Party at my new Work Place. And it went really good! Everything was very alike as it used to be in Cummins, only that the public in my current office is of average age of 25 years! So the public was young and very enthu! Well, Cummins ppl were also very enthu, but that enthusiasm usually used to reach heights, which I didn’t find yesterday! But anyways, a great party!
and finally my very hectic schedule comes to an end, and finally I am a bit relaxed and very very tired!!
Lots of things to do ahead! Many things to happen..
Till then… Ciao!

For the splendid year that we spent together.....!

Yesterday we completed one year of our married life! One whole year!! Wow! that really passed so quickly.. so many things that happened, intentional, unintentional, good, bad, and so many dreams waiting, yet to be fulfilled!
I was very much elated by the end of the day, because many people had remembered this special day in my life. It really feels very nice to know that these people are there to share your moments of happiness!
First Anniversary! and i was working for the whole day!! it was pathetic! But anyways, in the evening we did have a gala time and did spend some great time with our near and dear ones! But ofcourse, the whole day bash is pending, and we are planning to have that soon!
