2006-2007

Its been an year since I blogged. An eventful year of my life.

In retrospect, I would say "It has been an year which has probably taught me the most about my professional strengths and weaknesses, has acclimitised me to what I felt were mundane jobs with no thrill, has helped me link the micro in my life to the macro, has brought me closer to my family and friends."

I have found new friends; quite influential ones. Guidance by Raveen is by far the most enriching experience of last year. I have had a lot to learn from the likes of Sarfraz, Yash, Mounish, Sarabjeet, Sandy, Satish and my affable customers. I have seen Chennai to some extent now and I believe its not too bad a place to live in. Only problem being its a bit too dead and you need good company to survive Chennai.

I have missed Kunnu, Dola, Mayur, Saransh, Preet, Rahul, Chandu, Saloni, Shikha, Utsav, Tolu and umpteen other juniors who will always be a very important part of my life. Boka, Khushboo, Sam are the ones I have turned to for advice and enthu, when the two were needed the most. For a change, my relationships from college have spilled over to my working life :) (very much unlike my school days where I totally lost contact with my school friends). ITC has been a rewarding experience with a host of challenges, opportunities and horizontal growth. It still continues to be after 1 year of dedication to ITC.

However, what seems to be still lacking is a direction on what to do, what to achieve and how to do it ? Maybe the question will always remain, at every turn of life ! Every day, I resolve to find the answer to the same and everyday I fail to accomplish the task ! Guided by others, I move with no vision of my own, lost in the sands to time, grappling to find that one thing that will blow me out of my mind.

Great to have you back !

Well, its good to know of enriching years, but we'd like to hear of enriching months, weeks or even days.

Lack of long term direction plagues the successful individual. You'll have to get used to it or create some (fake?) directions to eliminate the perceived near-sightedness...

Any Bangalore trips planned? I'd love to meet up.

Take care,
Kag
