A Working Getaway

It has been one crazy week. The Delhi trip went well - work wise, although my baby had stopped feeding well. It had been a crisis on both fronts and juggling it had been stressful and draining at the same time. As if that wasn't bad enough, the fog in Delhi seemed to have conspired to ruin everything I hold dear in my life. Thankfully all went well enough, thanks to an understanding boss, a helpful colleague and an accommodating wife.

Chennai went much better and I must admit it is a much nicer place than Bombay, for me at least. The roads are better and we are not so anxious about taking our little darling around the city. Before you know it, the craziness of the whole trip is over and so is the little break I had after that.

Now we are back home and I am dreading the drudgery of Bombay life, the city that is so in your face that anyone would feel claustrophobic and desensitised over time. Glad it is only a year left to go. Both mother and daughter have fallen asleep. Thankfully, mummy is far more efficient than daddy, since she had been on her feet getting everything sorted out without a moments rest.

I definitely have to spend much more time at home at least in the evenings and hence will need to figure out how best to reschedule my working life.

Well thats all for now. Next working trip is Goa.

A New Year, A New Beginning

It is the 5th of January 2010. It is amazing how the decade has passed and how much life has changed. In 2000, I was alone and depressed for reasons only my closest family and friends know why. In 2010, I am married to a wonderful woman and am also blessed with a darling of a daughter.

The new year has brought across the shores of Malaysia, for we (Vasantha, Aleeshya and I) have finally moved to Mumbai. As I look from the dining table over to the hall where Aleeshya is fast asleep, I cannot help be grateful to God for the miracle that we call children. Aleeshya is a bundle of joy to us and no matter how exhausted we are, her innocent smile never seizes to energise us in our care for her. Aleeshya is slowly starting to stir, so I best end this entry for now.

Until next time, laters all.
