Delays in the change

My life is hardly dull or boring. At any given point of time there is always some or the other action going on. Be it a tussle with the boss or an offshore team or a tussle with the HRs and the interview managers of the couple of companies, I am trying to join now for last 4 months. 

Somehow something or the other factor keeps my life interesting with the delays and it often incurs frustration for me. Somehow I dont find a reason why there should be a delay in rolling out the offer for me if i have cleared all interviews. 

Starting all over again for a new interview is very painful process and even more painful is the attempt to get to that HR or manager who is incharge. When they have to schedule an interview, they'd call you many times, but when it comes down to the feedback, they dont pick their phones. 

Its already close to a year being in USA and almost same time away from the blogs. I have travelled to many places like Washington DC, Seattle, New York, Virginia etc and have enjoyed touring places alongside my pretty cute wife whom I call Tofu.

Many more tours warrant in the next few months, but only after the supposed move. I am due to vacate the apartment in next 2 weeks or so, and so I am trying to get an offer soon and move directly to the other state wherever the new job would take me, but thats looking more and more difficult now. Dont want to move to another apartment and break lease in just few weeks or a month or so. 

More desparate I get, tougher it becomes for me to get what I want. And perhaps that sickens me even more. I feel I get a raw deal when it comes to job changes in last few yrs. Havent changed a job in 45 months now and even when I came to Infosys, I had similar frustrating experiences for 3 months before 1 day when a call from Infy HR sealed the change from Kanbay to Infy. Hoping a similar call would do the trick now for me very soon than later.

Misfit Me

The hurt feeling, the hurt locker, the feelings you have caged for years make a comeback in a flash when you are misunderstood. Carrying a tag of being the most understood (mis) person in the world isnt easy thing to do. It always sucks when you are misunderstood by your own people, who are part of your innermost circle, the most closest persons any one can be. You feel terrible, you feel horrible and you feel like going to a shell. 

And all of this on a thing which every time in my case is blown out of proportion always. I am a master of controversies, anything I say or i do is always misunderstood. Always. No matter what point of time it is, no matter when it is. No matter which part you are in the world. Controversies and  misunderstandings always follow me.

The entire framework of the social relations in India is skewed one. It requires you to be politically correct always,  speaking your mind always lands you in the trouble. Doesnt matter whom you speak your mind, the drama that follows leaves you hollow and horrible. You feel horrible. Being politically correct is the thing of the present. Being rationale, fact based and sane is something that is non Indian. You got to be worshipping the other side of the fence who join hands to marry..Especially if you are from girl's family. Stand every legal / illegal demand from groom's side. Fulfill every expectation they have, that's worst part of society like India has from eons of ages and centuries. 

No wonder I am such a misfit and such a character who is not wanted around when it comes to the marriages and stuff like that. I dont stand the age old traditions which have to be followed, which should have adhered to. Skewed traditions. And if you dont follow those, you are not in. You are stubborn, you are idiot, you are goddamn adamant..

Welcome Sam to the world of the blogs again.  Short of my usual best, but I see the time when I would be near to the best I have been for my blogs.

Comeback

Its been a year that I made a serious post on my non cricketing blog. I attempted to make a lot of comebacks limited to few days and few posts. But all of them failed. Most of them were limited to rants out of tough days in the office.  The motivation, zing was lost and there was nothing left to write. 

However after a year almost, I feel the time is ripe to write again. I dont know what I would write. May be for few days it shall be a struggle. May be for few days it would be reposts of some old classics. 

May be National Blog Posting Month shall help.

Hope this time, I am able to sustain the zeal and passion to write for long time to come. A lot has changed since the last post was made. We have  relocated again, made a lot of purchases, went through a lot of ordeal and what not. All of this, I shall share in the days ahead to come.

Flavor

Only thing I have to write now on the blog is how well we live the life and how deep do we love each other. Thats the only flavor on this blog. Right now. For now.

S has suddenly made life charming and dazzled with excitement added with the tadka of luv.....

Surreal and sweet.

Love never felt so delcious and surreal as it is being now. Its complicated but nice.

House on fire!!

Its just 2 weeks after getting married and we have hit awesome chemistry.  I would use word perfect. Just one small fight aside, the things are fantastic.

Touchwood.

This is very surreal and sweet.  Nice and uncomplicated.

Right person is very important. And she is the one for me. I say so. I can say we have made a flying start. We had stupendous times in Himachal even after cancelling out the Chandigarh leg of our trip and instead travelling to Gurgaon to be with my cousin and his wife for our first Holi together. It was their first holi together too in India post their marriage. Had super times there.

Touchwood.

They'd say this is honeymoon period and this is the start of the times together. But I have got rave reviews for us together. Snaps on facebook say so, offline comments say so too.

I am sure when we start our normalised lives from this Monday when I resume office, the passion and the zeal would be same as it is now for the last 16 days of the life.

We are glad that we found each other this point of time and we are amazed to have hit awesome chemistry right from day 1. Like house on fire. Touchwood and let this fire blaze even stronger.

Terror strikes again (if)

It seems that the terror has struck the country again, this time in Pune.  Suspected terror attack has led to few casualties and injuries in the suspected blast.

The security agencies have been caught napping, the entire state machinery was busy in getting a movie released and outscoring the dumwitted right wing party.

he terror has hit the city, I work in and thats scary if thats a terror blast of course.

This blast has going to have long term prospects in the city of Pune. This also means we have also got to be careful while going to crowded places like multiplexes and malls.  Swine flu and now terror, the city of Pune is now getting to be a city to be wary of and be a bit on the toes. You never know what.

I am no more in Pune right now and for 3 weeks going to be away from it. 

Is that a blast from IM ? Is it rejuvenated after the hibernation of more than year and half.

This also reminds us that there is a strong need to punish the forces responsible for 11/26 right away and send a very strong message to the people responsible for terror attacks in the country all over the years. Perhaps its time to be strong against this elements despite whatsoever religion they come from and rise over the petty vote bank politics. Better the government does it, better for the country and its hapless people who just sees its elected leaders fight over a petty statement on a country players playing in IPL.

Run up to the big day

The Blogging has taken backmost seat in the priorities of the life right now. This has been a tough week where in I had to cope with something very unexpected at personal level and also ensure that the big day goes off well. The day has already been postponed once while being in Middletown all for the project dates and in a bid to stay onsite. 

Its just 4 days from now and then the life changes in the sense that :

• Independence alters, I wont say I would lose it or end it. Someway or the other a lot of things would change. 
• I would have somebody to whom I can dedicate my pangs of romantic poems and cheesy 4-5 liners inspired from those awesome scenes.
• I'd have somebody to accompany me to the movies and the travel spree I have, but restraint till the time.

And many more changes that happen, but I would not be like the typical married men and she wont be the one like typical married women. 

We've our own plans to take the life we want it to be and we would make every effort to ensure we succeed here..The travel plans as in for the honeymoon are laid out and its in the land of snow and chilled cold just to acclimatise her to the cold weather she is going to face in her first country travel outside India.

Life has been pretty hectic in last month or so. Office front has been going good, I complete one more project today, 5th overall here in Infosys.  This has been a good project experience and first one with no expression of emotions on the workplace. I have been working hard to make myself count relevant in the daily life of Infosys and this project would further add brownie points in a journey of making a comeback after the fiasoc of last April, the tremors of which are still being filled.

Buzz is out and I am on over it.  

Thanks to all the readers who have been reading me even after the brain freeze of last week.

Blog book and Jitters

Life seldom gives you second chance and if you are smart enough then you grab the second one with more than full hands.

I get married in 2 weeks time and in a gift to myself for that I m getting my book published. Book of blog posts of this awesome blog. It has to be kept secret.  If she unearths it, I would be prone to questions and I wont be doing that.

I have been writing this blog since Oct 2008, good 16 months now being here.  Rants, frustrations and desparations all have been the part of the posts here. And if somebody new in my life has a glance at it, then she is not going to be too comfortable with it.

A book has always been an idea never dwelt into. Actually i dont have required patience and time to write it. Office takes most of time of mine and then back home, I am exhausted. So where is the time to book a write ? Actually since my stint @ Middletown, I m being a bit reluctant and lazy to write here except the frustrations and confusions getting to a relationship. However thats going to change soon with me settling down in the new life with a person heads and heels over me.

PS : I know this is start of something unknown, we love each other and would do so for the rest but we never know what could transpire in her mind. Yet we would wish to overcome whatever hurdles come in the way.
