31st December 2014 – Happy Teachers Day!!







Yup you  read the headline correct… It’s not a Typo… Though headline shares its name with famous whisky brand but no am I not few pegs down ;) as you know I don’t drink. Hence Proved – Headline is correct!!

So when whole world is in Party Mood and have already started the Pre-Bash prep why this geek is penning his thought on 31st December and that also with such funny headline – trying to be different? Naaa – I am already different in many ways (contact me in person for more details J ). I am penning this as a Return Gift to “Sweet 14”…

Well 2 0 1 4 was a unique year for me… I believe I can proclaim this year as un-predicted and unplanned – almost all things didn’t went the way I planned itJ; now please don’t ask me to attend some Planning Trainings; I am not good at attending Classroom Trainings though always like to give one… ;)

Coming back to “Sweet 14” aka 2014; it gave me many rich experiences and learning. Life was a Roller Costar ride in 2014 with many lows on professional and personal front; this year somehow snatched all Positive Energy that typically a Sagittarius Guy possess and spread out…but I am not complaining; at time things don’t go as you plan but its ok – they make you prepare for some Big Things in Future – In software testing World we call it Pre-Requisites so you see there were no Expected Results in Sweet 14 but it was just Data Prep and Pre-Requisites creation – too much
Software Lingo dude; sorry for that J

Human Mind is an amazing creation; when things don’t go as per plan -Initial days mind tries to revolt and seek questions in every small things; reach out to friends and families to get support but as time passes he adjust with it and see bigger picture – learn from it and manages to see positive stuff from it… well I think in later days mind works with Heart to see good things and stay positive. If you’re Heart and Mind works in tandem you will be at peace else it will be “Brothers in Arms” for you J

So to be true Sweet 14 was Negative Energy minefield… sometime I wonder why I believe so much in this Positive \ Negative energy – I doubt I was a scientist in previous life’s ;) sounds exciting but for this life Software Professional sounds fine J. Things were not that great at personal front due to multiple Health issues of Family members; losing few of my close & dear ones as God thought they deserve more comfort with him. Professional less said the better J though I really enjoy my work; my standups (I can see few of you smiling on this J) but when you don’t get the expected “stuff”; at times you lose that positive energy that momentum at workplace…

So should I say this was a Bad year- A Big No! Ya things didn’t go as planned but then what’s the fun if there is no unplanned stuff in life. Did it made me weak – Nope I am too healthy to be weak ;) It gave me few good learnings – it taught me to be patient; it made me stronger from within. It made me learned how to survive at times without support of family and friends – though they are indispensable. It made me realize that thinking it’s a Bad or Good Phase is your state of mind and the way you want to see things.  It taught me to be more patient with times and not to seek a reaosning for every single thing which does not go as per plan. It made me realize that being Negative is something you choose to be and coming out of it again depends on your choosing – no one and just no one can do it for you...

“Sweet 14” was a memorable one; a year of learning few things and more importantly un-learn few things which were accumulated deep in mind and heart but were impractical… did it changed me as a person I am? Not sure but then that’s what the “Exciting 15” will let me know J but one thing is for sure “Sweet 14” taught me a lot and made me a slighter better person so my Dear “Sweet 14” thanks for all those teachings and learnings and on this last day of yours – I wish you a Happy Teachers Day because you my dear “sweet 14” was a great adorable teacher for me…

Now “Exciting 15” I warn you - you better be exciting with me ;) because I want to write a same Blog for you after 365 days and I want the Tile of that to be “31st December 2015 – Thanksgiving day”

Thank You Captain...

Thank you Captain… Saturday 18th January 2014 – a date I am not gonna forget easily.  OK – so day begin pretty early or should I say Night ended pretty soon when I departed from Pune at 2 AM for Mumbai; as I have to catch flight to Varanasi… It’s one of the shortest trip I was making to Varanasi – 24 hours and back (btw that’s the minimum one way travel time; if I would have taken service of Indian Railways’ - considering no delays in Foggy weather of North – Love Fog BTW- reminds me of some dear ones… ) Ok so at Terminal A1 awaiting Air India’s flight AI 695; not that great Terminal I would say as my mind was comparing it with “Exclusive T2 Terminal” pictures that every News channels was showing; just wonder every news channel has it and then also its “Exclusive”. Flight was on time though Information Board was lazy and showing it Delayed – may be effect of a Chilly morning; or it was miffed that why the board is not upgraded to T2 Terminal level ;) Boarded Flight; I a...

The Panic Handlers...

Hey Nitin – Did you saw that mail…? We should respond “ASAP in next 5 minutes”. Me – Okkkkkkk… Which mail? You have not checked your mails yet… (As if it’s a crime in India not to check mails as soon as they come)  Me – Ahhh my outlook is acting bit weird you see - Long Live MicrosoftJ. And when I finally got to know which mail s\he was referring to I didn’t found any reason why we need to respond ASAP in 5 Minutes… BTW either it’s ASAP or 5 min; till now no theory has proved that ASAP = 5 minutes. Again it depends who is asking; so if your wife is asking to do a household stuff it’s by default ASAP and you are supposed to leave everything aside - get up right away and start doing it…  If your colleague is asking who is in direct completion with you then you have lifetime to do that work may be in next life if you wish to ;). If your Boss is asking you to do it mean you are already Late and you should have already done it by official standards – Lazy Bum J We all...

I failed and i am glad i did...

 Dedicated to all Respected Ladies I know Generally i don’t write Blogs (Notes) now days... (Though I want to write more often)   in fact it’s rare now that i anything apart from writing business mails... Life is kind of dedicated to writing mails from outlook - Accenture account :) So why suddenly on a Chilly Monday morning i am writing this blog to all Ladies out there… Reason is simple - a realization; something which i always thought that i knew or understand it but i never did... what i knew was miles away from  reality... ok i know you are going crazy ki kyaa bol raha hai - so let’s come to point – 4 days back i.e. on Friday Morning Sheetal (my dear wife) has to go to Varanasi; and we took a decision that Shubh (my 6 old year son) will stay with me in Pune... Sheetal was bit skeptical if i will be able to manage and i always like a cool chap said - don't worry yar; i will manage i am capable of it and what not (Damn overconfidence!! ). Her flight l...
