The Interim
I haven't updated this page in the last few months, 8 to be precise. Quite a lot of water has flowed under the bridge in the interim. ...
I have travelled far and wide during this period, Tirichy, Tanjore, Calcutta, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Madurai, Coimabatore......
I have moved up the corporate ladder, though I dont know if its the best thing to have happened to me. My ex-colleague, whom I was reporting to, moved. For the first time in my career, I genuinely felt sad that a colleague had quit, though it paved the way for my rise in the organization.
I grew a beard, took it off, then grew a smaller one, and went back to my normal "no-beard" status.
I finished 4 books.
I saw the entire "Carry On...." series, all 24 of 'em.
I saw three other good movies - Brokeback Mountain, The Godfather (for the second time) and I enjoyed Madagascar (for the third time)
I rejected an offer for a post that paid twice my current salary in Chennai
I saw a very close mate struggle with life after his marriage broke up and felt proud when he came out of it fighting and stronger.
I began playing cricket again and touched base with old mates from college in the bargain. Felt good...
Drove down to Mysore one sunday with friends and enjoyed every bit. Hadn't done that in a year's time till then.
So now that I am up-to-date with my ranting, I hope to regularly update this space going forward....
