Hey
So I am finally back in Mumbai after like 4 months of sabbatical in Goa.(Because of the pancreatitis..more about it some other time)
But,save for the hospitalisation,surgery,bed rest,strict diet etc, I had an awesome time at home.It was a break much needed.Far far away from the frustration,disparity and the negativity of the job(I tend to exaggerate this every time..I know :p),a calm and cool vacation at home with family for around 4 months is the perfect antidote.
Surprisingly towards the end of the period I was actually looking forward to joining back.Looks like even the happiness and relaxation taste sour when overdosed. Hehe
Apparently I wasnt able to book a train ticket,thanks to the overwhelming number of tourists leaving Goa on the same day,I had to book a bus ticket.Was able to book for a non ac sleeper bus for an exorbitant price of 1500.
And thus on the auspicious day of 2nd of January 2011 I left Goa and embark upon a journey to Mumbai.
On previous day I was having acidity problem.As a precautionary measure I had a blood test.Apparently the levels of an enzyme which is an indicator of pancreatitis had gone slightly high.I was literally jelly-legged.But then dad consulted the doctor and I was reassured that there is nothing to worry but henceforth I need to seriously cut on oily and deep fried food. :(
Bus journey only contributed to the bad mood.It was the worst one ever.
Inspite of the cozy and comfortable sleeper seat I had a terrible time with continuous head-splitting headache and acidity and upset stomach.Couldn't sleep for more than 10 min at a stretch throughout the night :(
Somehow in the morning the bus reached mumbai.I was feeling much better.The headache had been reduced to the occasional pangs.Stomach has made peace with me to a large extent.I reached home.There was no time for the after-journey nap.So freshened up and caught the bus to the company.
I am one of those guys who would judge the year from the way it starts.
And to be frank I had some qualms regarding how things gonna be this year after the way things were turning out last 2 days..
Thankfully things straightened out slowly.First of all I got a warm welcome from project buddies.Second,and best of all was that I was told that I had become comparatively thin. :) (A Joy short-lived until another friend greeted me with "PeTya".Grrrrr)
Although nothing had changed drastically as far as project is concerned,the team had grown in size and also the work pressure was comparatively less.On top of it I got a workstation in a very safe and fortified place.(You have to be an IT guy to understand the value of that).So I could have rendezvous with my old time savior buddies viz office communicator,Dilbert,pagalguy,wikipedia etc without the leads watching :p
Also caught up with another lifeline of mine,the table tennis in the Gymkhana.Thats the place where I have gotten more acknowledgement for my skills(TT) than I ever got in my project. :)
So all in all the week went pretty fast (just like the Time does nowadays) without any bumps or hiccoughs.And I let out a sigh of relief. :)
Ill say this year has kickstarted really well for me.Hoping that it remains faithful to its mood throughout. :)
I love to make resolutinos every year.Here are some for this one.
- Blog more.(Have set a target of atleast 50 posts this year :) )
- Crib less.(This one is tricky.But I love challenges)
- Be more positive and optimistic.(Again difficult but I think I am on the right path.In fact you can sense it from the tone of this post)
- Lot less social networking (It's the need of the hr)
And few more...
Hoping to abide by them till the year end.Would love to refer to this post at the end of the year regarding how many of those resolutions I could do justice too.
Have some dreams,aspirations,ambitions...And I am very positive about them.I have become a firm believer of the law of attraction (Like attracts Like).Too many experiences to ignore it. :)
So let me severe my blabber right here(if you are still reading) and kickstart the blogroll by wishing you all a very happy,prosperous and a satiating new year.May all your (and mine) dreams and wishes come true.May we do not need a resolution list next year :p
May this year be one of the awesomest one ever.
C ya.
PS: Nothing changes much in the real world when you are in a limbo.At least not in 4 months :p
