2010 - A year of storms in my life

Finally gathered courage to write a blog after a long time. Was thinking, must write about 2010 year. As this is the year which will never be forgotten in my life, this was the year in which so many things happened in my life which I have never thought of. I started new year (Ist jan 2010) having a dinner with my wife in a five star hotel of chennai. It seemed a wonderful and great start of the year.Rest nothing remarkable happened in Jan2010.
Feb 2010 : My in-laws visited us. 2 weeks were full of fun, frolic and enjoy. We went to visit lots of places in chennai. I got one award from my project account for clearing some exam.
March2010 : A great month. I come to know about my appraisal rating. Finally I got top rating so chances of getting promotion increased.In the mid march I went to our hometown. So enjoyed a lot at home. We husband-wife went to visit some temple with my mom and dad. That trip was really good. Most important thing also happened in march 2010 and that was I booked my first flat in gurgoan.
April 2010/May 2010/June 2010: I come to know about my promotion. Most awaited event of my life.My wife got job in an engineering college of Chennai. So it seemed as if now life is going to be smooth now although frustration was always there that we were very far away from our families. Always wanted to go to North India so that remain stay near to my dad as he was heart patient. My mom could have needed my help anytime. We went to Ooty a rememrable trip.
July 2010 - Got released from my project. We went to Kodaikannal. Another wonderful trip.
August 2010 - Another event happened or I say dream came true. My brother has gone to US in 1998 first time since then wanted to go to US. tried my luck in 2001. Got admission for MS in US but didnot get visa. Last year applied for H1 visa didnot get so it appeared as if there is some power which does want me to go to US. But in August 2010, I tried again to get visa adn this time I got my visa.In company also, I started getting projects for US. At the same time, some other activity started in my professional life and that was job interview in Accenture. We went to Yercaud, a nice place to visit.
Sep 2010 - The month which totally changed my life. The month which I always used to look for as my, bro-in- law and dad's b'days come and my wedding anniversary comes. But something happened in sept 2010 tht now I will never wait for this month. My visit to US almost got fixed and suddenly without any reason, it got cancelled making me upset.But later I come to know by some power made it cancelled. I finished all my interview rounds with Accenture. One day I got call from Accenture about the offer made to me. I made a call at my home to give another good news as finally another dream was coming true. My mom picked up the phone before I tell her this news, she told me tht dad is not keeping well. Then I had a talk with dad. It was never in my dad tht I was talking to him last time.It was my dad's b'day. Mom got dad hospitalised.for 2 days, keep on getting the news tht dad is fine. But suddenly on 20th sept night got a call from mom saying dad's condition has become severe. I just brust out planned to go home. midnight, booked the tickets and early morning of 21st sept, left for home town. But before, I reach home, dad has left me all alone in this world...................
Still many things happened in the rest months..will write later.. Not in the position to write now.............

from mobile

Finally my first blog from my mobile.My another wish has been fulfilled. Whenever I used to read samiran's blog written by him from his blackberry, I always dreamt of writing blogs from my mobile. And finally today I have got the immense pleasure of writing it from my nokia N-97. Really a nice phone, has all the features which I was looking for in a phone. Although iphone is also similar to it. But since its costly and more stylish, i can flaunt better :-)
Also the purchase of it has remained timely. I have been allocated a project and have to spend more than 1 hr in commuting one side. So to do timepass its the better source. I think its enough now to praise about it. I stop here no more flaunting.

Comfortable Zone

I always wonder why we feel that past was better than present. Why not we think future will be better? One of the reason I feel is that we do not want to come out of our comfortable zone. Sometimes we feel that whatever is going on, let it be as it is. We want change but don't go for change because we become habitual of the life the way we are leading.I didn't take the project in Bangalore, because I felt I am comfortable in Chennai.Rather the reason was I didn't want to come out of my comfortable zone.Just to validate my laziness, I thought I will take up flat near beach in Chennai which will not be available in Bangalore. The result neither I got the project nor I took the flat near beach. If I was to stay away from beach, I could have gone to Bangalore and could have fund the better. But nope,want to stay in the comfortable zone.Anyway have to come out of my laziness.Have to leave the comfortable zone. I feel SRK is right when he says "Thoda or wish karo"

Normal/Abnorml

Its a Thursday night.. I am alone at my flat... One of the flatmates has been transferred to banglore other has gone outstation with his friends..Its drizzling outside..I was chatting with my colleague and discussing his personal life. I thought of to have a cup of tea and just some thoughts start wondering in my mind..Some people think that I am not normal. My room mate feels that he and his friends are normal and since I dont behave like him, so I am abnormal. Am I seriously abnormal? If I want everything to be perfect..If I want all financial a/cs to be settled at the earliest...If I want others not to be self centric...If I love cleanliness....If I can cook food...If I don't eat junk food.....If I ........infinite things....
Is a man supposed not to do these things then he is normal????
