Crazy as ever!

Hey readers, how is it going on with you? I am super-busy here what with having to write an article for the ICFAI Charter magazine, composing questions for FRM 2008 and simultaneously working on 2 top-secret (not defense level) projects! Besides, having to constantly go up against my IT team and the HR guys here at office and I got my hands full! And oh, I forgot to add the bit about me missing out on my reading and the arrival of my cousins, along with their daughters, for the summer vacations! All in all, life sure is super crazy / busy / fun at the moment!

I hope to share with you more on my secret projects in the days to come – provided my efforts bear fruit! Else, it will all go down the toilet with not even a trace left for you to ponder over! Meanwhile, work at office is exciting – got 2 downgrade/upgrade calls right on the button! But heck, this isn’t the place to discuss my work, is it? Oh, and are any of you wondering why I haven’t published any photos from Canon S5 camera that I dedicated so much space to a month back?

Well, frankly, though I do have a lot of photos on the camera, the net connection at home has been nothing short of pathetic – I am using Reliance’s NetConnect and man, the speed is not only super slow, but it also takes an eternity to open a page! I am super tired and fed up of the slow connection – I’ll upload a bevy of photos once I get a new connection – probably sometime next month.

By the way, I have finished reading James Patterson’s Hide and Seek – I might be tempted to write a review of this book sometime during the weekend! ‘Til next time, take care and play safe!

Climbing the ladder!

While on one hand I was thankful to the rain last night for making the night cooler, the same rain played a spoiltsport in Delhi when the washed out match between the Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders got rained off! With the washout went any slim hopes KKR may have entertained of entering into the semi-finals of the inaugural edition of the IPL. Quite a disappointing - some may say fitting - end to Dada and SRK's Journey!

A lot of promise - on paper .. They fought bravely but only in patches! Apart from 2-3 outstanding innings, there wasnothing substantial coming out of the KKR camp. Most importantly, the team had to play well together which they failed to have done in this edition atleast! Hoping for more from them the next time they come out to play! We still love you Knight Riders!

By the way, I am currently busy writing an article for the next edition of the The Charter magazine by ICFAI - so my posts may be very general till I finish with that! Additionally, I am workng on a top-secret dream project at the moment, details of which I can't furnish now. So please don't ask me! :-) I thank my argumentative friends who often ignite this I'll-show-you-how-it-is-done spirit in me - just keeps me going, trying my level best to go one step further, climb one more rung! Korbo, Lorbo, JEETBO RE!

Scribbling .. For Fun!

Hey readers, so how are the summers going? I sure am burning in this heat - my office AC was conked out for the last 2 days and man, it was damn suffocating in here! We even had one person fainting in office, now where are all the activists demanding good working conditions when you need them the most?

If the days are hot enough, then the evenings we got to deal with these Northwesters which even claimed the life of a person in Kolkata .. The guy stayed just a few blocks away from me! Yeeks.. So sad for him! Somehow, it feels so strange .. The guy died because a tree fell on his car and he got crushed to death! Even I was out that night and could only gaze in wonder when I saw trees dancing like drunks and heavy branches crashing at my feet! Somehow, I made it home but that guy wasn't so lucky!

Death is so sudden, coming without any warnings! And that's why folks, do what you have to do NOW! Don't wait for tomorrow or the next moment! Say what you have to say now, do what you have to do now! Don't leave things unsaid or undone - go easy with tensions, misunderstandings, bad experiences! Live life for the beautiful moments it presents you with NOW rather than what may come tomorrow!

And just for the record, I got my profile & my photo (slightly hazy and cocky) featured on the May 2007 issue of the CFA Charter Magazine from ICFAI University! Life, death, sorrow, joy -- everything walks this path together!
