The Best Laid Plans!
About 1 month ago, nothing seemed to be going right. Everything seemed to be in a state of disarray.
Personal life. Professional life. Life. Everything seemed to be a mess.
Slowly, painfully, I started to get my priorities right. Disengagement is a tough damn task, but it didn't look like there was any other way out...
Distractions, aberrations never ever seemed so beautifully timed!
I know that I had something else in mind when I started off... not anymore!
Certain things became top priority... I realized that there was lots more to look forward to at the end of every working day! The world "passion" and "enthusiasm" got redefined in this new context.
I still remember that long talk with A over a cuppa in the B block market, and the set of strategic decisions that we took after that... the turning point!
I always say that my favorite takeaway from MBA is the love for long-term planning... strategizing, if you want to go one notch higher.
Parellells can be drawn between the past one month in our lives, and a month-long live project in Strategy and Operations (S&O)!
For once, I'd acknowledge the fact that I'm a good Manager... in addition to being a superb salesman, of course ;)
At the end of 30 long, eventful days, I can satisfactorily say that the best laid plans do fall into place...
The icing on the cake is that the real fun starts now.
I've managed to unload a huge burden that I had been carrying, and to tear up a completed 'to do' list!
July is going to be my month, I know it for sure... no strings or hinges attached.
On a serious note, do not miss out on Toy Story 3!
I was desperate to discover how, and why the hell had it managed to break into the imdb top# 250 so soon, even if that meant watching my first 3D movie :P
It's an awesome film... especially the kiddies in the hall, including myself enjoyed it thoroughly!
I so want to be child again :'(
A long small-weekend finally ends!
Fingers crossed for awesome days ahead... and awesome mausam!
Asta la vista.

Back to the future!
Suddenly it struck me that 35 years down the line when I retire, I wont have to bother about finding things to keep myself busy!
Lots of stuff from the archives (be it from gmail, gtalk, fb, blogger, diaries, photo albums et al) to indulge in for, at least, the first couple of months :P
Woohoo! So much for answering the question related to looong-term plans!!
Things fell into place beautifully today evening onwards...
Feels awesome to have a wonderful boss... you rock, PB sir!
After a 15 hours long day spent in the office, 10 hours seem like a cakewalk! :))
The house hunt till now might not be in vain... depending on you, AK!!
Somehow I feel that the days are too short... why can't we have 48 hours long days?!
But then, who needs so many hours when you can live a lifetime in a few minutes... :)
Anyway, early to bed today... bonnuit tout le monde! :)
