Two different days

Usually my life is full of surprises. and I have become habituated with so many of them. 11th Feb and 12th Feb were two of these days.
11th- it started normal. I had the usual rounds of reprots to be made(week end) my own updates and round of customers- went to meet BEL had a very detailed meeting and i and my application engineer prem got late.It wa 830 pm. Prem opted to go home. I stayed back for 'few minutes'to check mails. Then suddenly roit broke out of office. It appears- some 6 police men were killed by naxals in morning near tumkur and our office being opposite to police lines- we were locked out between police who were demonstrating and police who were taking no actions.Police people started burning buses , looting shops [ hence lost whatever compassion they were demanding] I somehow braved the stones and managed to put my bike in new office building basement parking. Then they started throwing stones- our secuirty people tried stopping then thought better of it. We had to stay till 12in night and returned after the violence stopped.

Next day i went for aero show- 2005. It wa great- i travelled over 23 kms to see it in yehalanka airstrip. but time spent was worth it.

Two different days- but enjoyable and exciting in it's own right.

when do you say it is done?

When we start a work we feel it is having a starting time and a ending date. That is the time we never ask ourselves- when wewill define that end moment?

During the progress of work we never know when it is going to end and feel deadocked.

So we need to learn- how to say- when do you say it is done?
