Chanakya quotes (Indian politician, strategist and writer, 350BC-275BC)

One step ahead and two back.

From last two/ three days I am pondering over one issue. Am I going ahead or just the reverse of it. I haven't got any hint, so I thought to just to freeze it. If anyone read it, I am sure will impression how confusing person I am.

So let me come straight on the point. Due to shifting of my place I am required to take many hard decisions and that too quickly. And I find me lonely, no help is coming forth for decision making process. Some time I just wonder, am I going ahead or back.

I am strongly optimistic despite meeting so many disappointments, still I have high hopes that every thing will be settled very soon. I hoping against hope. Don't laugh, I am serious.

Let say bye now.

For today only

Days are passing like never before. Its the work culture of Bangalore which is keeping people occupied in their job for more time. Then add travel time, and there is hardly any time left to see sun from a place outside office.

Just two hour ago, my boss while while walking from one department to other noticed the bright sun and appreaciated the view. For me it was an experince first time. A strage combination.

The city where I live now is one of the best city, but some things I find are not being paid much attention. If any one reading from Bangalore, please do focus on what I have noticed.

Many improvements in the city are brought in by the people living there. The time has gone to wait for the Government to take action and do some thing. I have seen it in Chandigarh. Take for instance daily cleaning. No doubt the staff comes to clean here but still lot of garbage is found here and there. This is because peoples participation is some what less.

This can be solved, if people are concerned and ensure that garbage is not to be thrown or dumped. It is to be given to some body for further disposal. It is working very effectively in Chandigarh. There are Private Operators who collect the garbage from home at a monthly fee of Rs. 20/-. Every house hold happily pays it and save lot of time planning for disposal. Some of the Operators are earning very well (Rs. 80,000/- per month)

May be, this can be adopted here as well. I hope some body will get a business idea or civic sense from this.

Hard to unbelieve.

May be I could have contributed some thing useful, but it’s rather hard to concentrate. For me, difficult to un-believe that place has changed and I will not get back what I enjoyed at my past location. I am around 3000 km away, I can’t even plan at short notice to go back.

The challenge for me here is to make this place as my home town. Easier said than done. But I have to accept it.

In the last one month, I have seen loneliness at its peak. None of the friends or known persons are around (most of them are out of stations for last three weeks).

Let’s see what is there for me in May’07

Moved to Bangalore

Although it was a difficult decision to move out, but It took less than a day and I was landed in Bangalore. The first day was very busy like a first day of a baby when born. My experience was almost similar. I had left behind stable and settled life of 14 years to try out some thing new. New environment, new work area, new set of people at the same time I was with no roof to stay, no car and without my family.

It took nearly four days to regain my full senses.During this period many times I thought, 'had I done a mistake'.

Now after 10 days, I am slowly gaining my energy. Now putting up my effort to plan future in Bangalore.
