Smile and Wave !!

This is the second entry under the same heading... for reasons beyond my control, i was unable to complete the post in one single sitting. Its weird how the road of life goes, you never know whats beyond the next corner, sometimes you don't even know there is a corner or an intersection until you actually get there. Something similar happened  when i was on vacation. suddenly I was at a new crossroad. A crossroad I was expecting but not so quickly... Well, it was a fruitful, relaxing and wonderful vacation that left me nervous and apprehensive about the future. New decisions, new doors opening, new people entering my life, some doors closing... and a sudden change in perpective.. The folks were happy to have me, luckily Hans was there too, we had a great time together. felt so good to drive around Goa sitting behind the wheel of the car. Some developments have opened a lot of questions... questions like what have i been doing with life, just fooling around or really looki...

Ah yes! The strategy of it all. I have just come back from a week long (short actually) break from home. Felt so wonderful to go home and breathe the fresh air and greenery of Goa.... Yes I could actually breathe in nature, after staying 4 long months in Dilli. The first thing I did was to rush to the bar and restaurant and have a ton of squid and fish and have a quiet relaxing drink at a reasonable rate, unlike the establishments in Delhi. Add to that the incessant rains and the power cut at the hotel. the ambience was perfect, an exact opposite of that in Delhi... so serene.... Now i am back in Dilli and not very happy about it, think it was too short a holiday, i think my folks concur.

ll Har Har Mahadev ll Truth behind the Miraj (Maharashtra) riots : Which the secular media ignores On 3rd September 2009 Muslims in Miraj (Sangali, Maharashtra) took objection to a scene which depicts the slaying of Afzhal Khan and started rioting. Their strategy was to immediately destroy 3 Lord Ganesh idols and then beat Hindus in the area. Tense situation persists even after 2 days. The National and International media have turned a blind eye to these unfolding events ! Here are the facts .....   Muslim youths stonning Ganesh Idol of Maharana Pratap Ganesh Mandal   Kindly visit the news link for details news and also to see videos http://www.hindujagruti.org/news/7785.html Muslims desecrate three Ganesh Idols & there have been attacks on Hindus at many places in Miraj (Dist. Sangali). Reason for Riot is the scene erected which depicts the slaying of Afzhal Khan. Muslims attacked the Police with sticks & stones. The Police arrested the Shiv Sena ...

Ha Ha!! Another meeting with the G-men. This time with those of the SEIAA committee of haryana. Well project one of 3 got through after some stumbles. While projects 2   and 3 fell flat on their face. The reason being.... now don't get me started. Firstly anm over enthusiastic architect who kept spilling his guts and allowing the members to find flaws. (although I tried to cover up most of them). Secondly, a very poorly and illogically made EIA, I mean who in the world has seen a Rain Water Harvesting Pit that can recharge at the rate of 160 cubic metres per hour. Thats like pouting water in the sahara. well, many more flaws later the committee has torn the entire report apart and now we have to submit a reply as soon as possible. I knew from the day I was assigned that the projects were doomed. the proponent turned on me, the members of the committee turned on me as a consultant. I mean come o what can i do, i got barely a day to go through the project and I cant change t...

No title for todays entry. I have but a smug face when i think of the mgmt of GRC. i dont think they ever gave in to the demands of any employee before. But I huffed and I puffed and i got my 15 days overtime. Hooray! Monday I go to Chandigarh, an SEIAA meeting, I know nothing of the projects I shall e presnting, but yet I have been chosen to represent them. Why? I do not know. Well, a one day picnic. Maybe I will go to see the Sukhna lake.

Bad day today. I have been working extra hours in the mornings before office starts since the 21st of august. Today when my paycheck is due the mgmt tells me, they pay overtime only for hours worked late (after 7:30 pm), not for hours worked early (before 10 am). How convenient. The *&*(&*&^%^%$$#% could not tell me that when i was coming in early everyday. Why was I not informed of this supposedly mgmt policy when joining? Just so they can get free work out of me. How greedy can these guys get? No wonder the commies have so much popularity, still I am not a commie. But i do feel sympathtic towards them... for now! I lost almost 15 hours of overtime pay. I will bid my time. I will get even... someday!

Today was a really good day! It seems there is justice in this world after all, even if it is dished in small amounts. I can be quite cynical and quite the sceptic too. but today changed all that... I recently swapped my CDMA Samsung phone for my mom's phone, cause the phone is dual sim and heaven knows why I need two mobile connections. Well the new Tata Indicom sims wouldn't work on it, so i go to a mobile phone shop. the technician tells me it will cost me 400 smackaroons to crack the phone plus I have to leave it with him for a whole day. with all due respect to all communities, I frankly don't yet fully trust Delhites. so I declined and took my phone to a nearest Samsung authorised service station. It seems a minor software update will do. but will only work with Tata Cdma cards. Ok. fine, I get it done and they don't charge me a thing. cool, but i lose a half day at work. then i go to the Tata Indicom guys and they replace my damaged sim for free (i tried to ...
