After 28 years

India won the cricket world cup after 28 years. I was witness to the match. the tension was palpable during the end and myself, amrita and Birsa all cheered on. Birsa is only 2 years old-may not have understood. but he was witnesing history being made. Cricket whether i like it or not has become a national passion.I personally find it slwo- except when india is playing and it is dead end of a match :-)

2010- a great year to go through

It was like a flash!!! 2010- started and end with such a fastness that i am worried- may be- I am on fast lane too much. This was not an ordinary end of year. it was end of a decade. Slightly different from end of last decade. Last decade end was- full of aprehensions, it was time when I was in final year of my engineering and we were worried of the job sceneario, less opportunities. But I was hopeful. I always knew- if i worked hard without letting the complacency come in between or hopelessness get to me- I will win.Still lots need to be done- but the last 10 years has been a time to continuously work harder. So many success and failures- that together it made me a better man.Last year was an icing. Lots of recognitions- as if to compensate those dark days/months of early years of this decade- when once i felt- it was all worthless.2010- started with increased work loads, then there was awards, then it was change of role. Increased responsibilities. and it came with its own bagages, own joys, own problems. acceptability in role, further hard work to establish self.I sometimes feel hardwork is addictive- and am afraid won't be able to do any soft job anymore.I have come to love the pressures and that strange feeling when I just drop off to my bed--- dozing off thinking of the encounters of the day, customers/suppliers/my team......God bless. I wonder- if i continue the hard work - where will it take me. I look forward to next day with more anticipation, more hope and lesser greed. May i contribute more and more and make the world a better place.
