the cold and cloudy new year...and the bucket of hot water....

well the new year is here....Happy New Year!!!!....its cold..and cloudy.....howzzat it was so wonderfully sunny yesterday and i was planning to sit in the delhi sunshine (which may not be possible for a few days now....i move to Ahmedabad today evening....and to Hyderabad in three months...)....and continue my lazy...oblivious to the world reading....but the weather had other ideas.....

no-one's home...everyone's out to some work....i have filled a bucket of hot water about one third.....soaking my feet in it....and surfing the net....maan life is beautiful.....

it'll be back to work from tomorrow....i have to hand over charge....to whom...i don't know.....i have to train someone to take from me...."knowledge transfer" is the better term i believe.... The current job has been good....i have learnt a lot in the last one year...i have acted as HOD for IT...technical knowledge apart....there've been learnings in general professional life as well...handling different bosses...handling a budget of a few hundred lacs...showing authority....getting approvals....playing games....yeah its been good...can i teach to it anyone...nah..they'll learn it themselves....

ping-pong...its a beautiful game....a beautiful concept actually....there are many things in life that can be compared to it....maybe all...yeah maybe there's a ping pong game somewhere.....

what else...this visit to delhi was the laziest i have had...moved out of home only twice...thrice maybe.....enjoyed the sunshine....a novel....met a few...very few friends....the last of them is getting married in two months..had few drinks...lesser discussions....am quite looking forward to going back to....god knows where.....

it's a funny feeling when home town starts feeling different...a stranger at times...Delhi has always been home...in times good & bad....but it seemed a stranger this time...as if i didn't know it at all...resist as i may i am being alienated to delhi...i hope not for long....i wanna move back to this crazy....extreme weathered..rude....inhuman ....lively...city again...very very soon....but i guess it is still one and a half year away...atleast....hmmm...le's see.....

Ahmedabad's been nice to me.....though i have had a few of my scariest...most lonely moments there....the memories are happy and sad....more good than bad....the city's good...the pace is just what you need for a comfortable life...small enough to have single shops selling specialities....there's one famous shop for almost all delicacies....the girls were..well not up there...but then i went there with a different mindset and a different purpose.....and the festivities....the joint families....made you fell happy but with that feeling of being lonely at the most inappropriate time....but it was good....enjoyed my stay there....guess would enjoy it even more in my last (well...apparaently...though i sincerely hope not...) three months there...

well some things look better without a conclusion......
