Written a long time back..was in drafts and just published it..
Few years ago i believed that i was an practical pessimist i guess that doesn't hold good anymore..I am now more of an optimist oozing with confidence and grit of a man on mission.Past few months i have not been myself and that is clearly shown in my recent posts..there always used to be my soul in the posts but nowadays its not the same..reasons may be numerous..trying to hide something or in the phase of transisition but doesn't matter..my posts are still good and they do tell about myself.
Last few months a lot of things have happened which could have broke me but i am bloody strong that i have stood strong without even a tear spent..Lost my grandpa..hit by recession..lost a good friend ( she got a guy )..trip got canceled.fell ill..health has deteriorated(still haven't been to doc)..but i still feel great about myself..I have always loved myself and have started to feel greater about myself..But one thing that has always haunted is me losing ppl..what the crap is that..can't i ever be successful in friendship..donno what goes wrong..have had numerous friends till now and will have many more but i wish someone would tell me what actually is wrong in me that my friends can't hold on to me..my friends have always made me feel special in their lives until they find someone..Donno what to write..But i have learnt living life this way..
No regrets..

Year of 2010
Bit late but better than never..Back to writing a blog and living in tradition of writing a blog in January..The topic pretty straight forward my yearly update :-) i just hope i don't copy paste everything from my fb and twitter profiles..
Let me change the format of the yearly update from the month by month as i usually did..Why?????
Change is the only constant? or i am too old to remember the dates (will write from remains of memory or memory remains)..ok enough its just that i prefer to give importance to the things that have happened rather than the time... let me see..habits usually die hard..
Year started on a good note with a new client being added to the company profile and a big client with a good prospect of growth and the trial period was an excellent success and growth has been tremendous with team growing from 3 ppl to 11 and we handling more than 70% of the customers..A professional organization and a very good one to grow with..Hope to see more success and growth with the client..
Then we had a change of management in another client place and hence had to cut down the resources but me and my partner being strategist planners we ensured all was well we just did a bit of reshuffling of resources across clients.
Family pressure regarding taking away my independence(marriage) had started in October and the agitation if you may call it was 2 months old but still the warrior in me fought on :-)
Dad had started looking for a plot or house in and around Rajajinagar but as always we had a argument and the proximity had to me maximum of 2 kms from my current home :-) We saw many some priced as high as 12.5k per sq ft....and then zeroed in on some but every house had some or the other point me or dad disagreed upon..
Then finally we saw a plot about 0.4 kms from my home and initially i had outright said no and didn't even visit as i had to cross West of Chord Road but my friend suggested me to have a look and i did and then we finalized on it but the owner was an entrepreneur in US and he was coming down in June so registration had to wait on till then..But i loved the plot...
The IPL started and kept me glued to the tv for the first few days and then had me glued to cricinfo for few more then preferred to look at scores of RCB matches and the points table..
RCB had a good performance and Dravid had some pretty good knocks..End of the day they reached semis and were knocked out by spirited Mumbai.. But finally were able to win a match convincingly against DC in all 3 years of IPL..RCB were more like chokers when it came to playing against DC..
Oh yeah..before the IPL Kallis, White, Merwe, Morgan, Boucher and Steyn had a privilege of being at HRC at the same time as me and a few friends were...
My birthday is a day i look forward to not for the gifts or wishes alone but for the time i introspect and i loved the way i have grown in every aspect but i am never contented or satisfied..Still a lot more things to and i always want something more and get bored easily with monotony and something which has already been done/achieved..
May is the month my company completed its first year and i felt really proud and kicked about it...First time in my life deciding on pay raise or hikes certainly made me feel good..
We had a small get together of sorts where we just ordered pizza and gave all my employees wrist watches and sweets...Promise guys the party will be on in a few years for anniversary celebrations:-)
Prospect of new clients joining was looming large and hence had to be on my toes with getting infrastructure in place..hire resources etc..all was done and new client did come in but lasted just 3 months..its a secret but there was misappropriation of funds and false advertisement of Google analytics to get more investors..I cannot name the client :-) One of the clients i was happy to let go as they absolutely had shabby process and its difficult for off shore companies to work if process is not solid..Happy that i got the big name in my client list though ;-) ..
Oh..i think now i came to about July or August and there it was the topic of marriage..it blew up and i had no cover so had to give a go ahead for ctrl+f with a set of crazy criteria and thankfully been able to reject everything even without meeting anyone from past 8 months..Don
t know till when i can do that but been successful so far...
Then i got my vision correction done and am happy about it...i can wear sun glasses now...not can i just have to bloody wear it to protect my eyes from all the dust and pollution around..That reminds me that i had to meet my Doctor and it has just been a delay of just 6 months for now...
Dentist is just a month away from being one year..Hope he doesn't charge me more for going late :-P
The plot registration was done and the owner of the plot was a very good guy and i got instantaneously close to him and still maintain contact with him and he shares me his success story and also has promised to let me know of any opportunities that may arise as well.
Then the planning of the house happened not without its share of arguments between me and dad..I always felt arguments get the best of every person and end product will be superior and i agree to it..me and my dad never agree on anything unless we have a discussion and have our say :-)
The plan came out well and when we were supposed to start the construction..Tarle happened with the neighbor..he has not left a single inch of space but expects us to leave 3 feet..we had left 1.6 ft and then i spoke to our engineer and told that just leave it and lets proceed and we did so.
My point is if 100 ppl make a mistake it doesn't become right just because he has not followed the rules doesn't make sense for us to break the rule and argue saying u have not followed and so won't we..sounds kiddish..
The plan is awesome and love it..Ground floor of parking space then a duplex home and finally a floor for office.. I am not a fan of having office and home at the same place but financials and time saving takes a priority here for time being than my likes..My office works 24 hours and hence it is safe and convenient that i stay as close as possible..
Now now and now let me talk about my first trip to Goa....Did i love it?? yes i loved every moment of it and certainly asking for more.....Now i clearly get why in DCH those guys planned one trip to Goa every year... for the serenity of Goa...Man makes me go back.....But missed my best friend as he was not able to make it for personal reasons...looking forward to spending time with him there..We can talk about everything under the Sun and above it and beyond it as well..I would love that to happen in Goa..perfect ingredient for relaxation...Lets see when and if it happens..But overall mesmerized by Goa and won't care the company can go there alone as well..
Then got a very big project from a leading company..ok i think i can reveal this AOL and we did a good job and we are promised more work and yes already in talks with more stuff..
Then finally we decided to launch or re launch our website..Being a web development company and building corporate websites for many companies it was a shame that i was still sticking to a kiddish website i had built for fun in a matter of hours on Feb 2009 even before the company started or idea chipped in i had this website and probably for fun then :-)
The website certainly took a lot of my attention from many things that were happening around and made me focus and the result made me happy..it came well and it was well received..
Then i got a new found interest for discovering good music especially english classics..so the search is still on and have got some awesome collection and i keep listening to glory while working..Helps me focus..
Ok i am getting bored..will add more later...not sure..
