After two long years...that seemed to be too short

Two years, have passed. I have met with at least 50 new people during this span and now most of them are part of my daily life. I had some fantastic interactions with my Bengali teachers and co-learners. I guess now I am able to use my practical nerves over the innovative ones. (And even then I add such personal blogs.) In an attempt to keep myself busy, I have been learning about different new things, methods, techniques, new opportunities and business models, etc. I, also, made an attempt to learn Deutsche but I do not want to comment on the outcomes. I got an opportunity to travel little more farther than Moscow and landed in Germany. This flight cost me a service bond of some years but now I have few friends (rather identifiable people) in Deutschland. How can I forget – Wall CafĂ©, Lippstadt, Paderborn, Aachen and Vaals. In between, my "Go Goa" wish has not yet fulfilled. I am still waiting for that moment when I could be on the beaches of Goa. And that reminds me of the Dive-Agar trip. A place, rather beach, near Murud, is home-town of one of my colleague. Some months back, I got a chance of visiting the place. The place is gifted with the scenic beauty. And above all, apart from all these, after a long long time, I entered into Garba celebrations this year @Pimpri.

Not everything that happened was wonderful. My New Jersey plans completely collapsed and I should agree that as the price I paid for my raucous behavior. And since then I have knowingly maintained a distance with those involved in the episode – not for anger but for peace. I still fall little short at the tendency to carry matters towards the fruitful conclusion. And hence, I have changed two residences during these two years. Thanks to the 11 month lease and leave agreement system. And I was in the list of known-people for rickshaw drivers and bus-conductors. So let’s wait for the charts to turn lucky.

But, at the same time, I am happy that I have gracefully supported my family after my father's demise - 4.5 years back - and things have improved over the time that passed. My brother is about to complete his final year at his hotel management studies. He is enjoying his journey towards his destination. During previous year, he completed his internship at Sahara Star and I hope he will keep on conquering new peaks of success. And above all, I should thank my mom for her continuous (non-stop) support. Though, I can see things moving slowly as compared to time but they are far better than being stagnant. There is still much more to come. I can see myself getting ready for new experiences. Something like what I am doing now is booking the movie tickets. So I shall keep on updating you all.
Till then, CYA…

Decisions...and...updates from Aug-2010

Today on the very first day of Diwali...I have made up my mind...

I had to pick one of the two...first was well being of my family...and second was well being of the self...and I have selected the well being of my family...I have taken certain decisions...
(Aug-2010: Yes, I am following these)

First...In near future I will plan to shift to Sahakarnagar which will make my family complete...
(Aug-2010: Well! I tried this during Nov-Dec - 2007 but it did not help so scrapped this from the list)

Second...I am not going out of town on a permenant basis...like i had thought of running away to bangalore...for the sake of career growth...before the growth in career...I have to concentrate on well being of my family...
(Aug-2010: Yes, I am following this. But now things have changed. I mean my younger brother is no more in college. I can rely on him when I am away.)

Third...I shall plan to reconcentrate on stocks...that I had given up to liquidate the cash and concentrate on something else...if I can convert 1.8 to 3.2 in 14 months...I can do that again...
(Aug-2010: Yes, started long back)

Forth...Building a home comes back on the priority list...
(Aug-2010: this is still on the list)
Fifth...orkut only when really free...have to utilise the time more efficiently...so that maximum can remain for my people...
(Aug-2010: Yes, I have not seen orkut since...I dont kno - how many months but it has been long time.)
Sixth...4 wheeler can wait...2 wheeler is a priority...that will definately save the travel cost...
(Aug-2010: Yes)

Seventh...Put family first...then the career...and then the self...
(Aug-2010: Yes)
Eighth...maintain fitness...you can do good when you are fit both physically and mentally...change in environment is enough for mental fitness...next is physical fitness...
(Aug-2010: Yes, tried some fitness routines during last years. But the best is when I visit Germany, I loose some weight naturally)

Nineth...Keep the long term goal in the vision...and move towards it...this time...calculate risks and the move...
(Aug-2010: Yes, Need-Junction - www.need-junction.blogspot.com/ - is on track. Now, we are partners to almost 30 brands. We help them to find business and help our visitor to fnd the best product. So, its win-win)

Tenth...no haphazard expenditure...life is going to be big...and keep the best for the rest...and for the satisfaction of the complete family...
(Aug-2010: Yes)
Eleventh...develop the skill to convert worries into fun...be like that shekhar...who was living his life 1 year back...leave worries on to the almighty...if certain things have to happen...they will happen...just...keep the faith...
(Aug-2010: Yes, celebrating every minor sucess and trying to forget the biggest mishaps :) )
So this becomes my check list, which will always remain on this page and recall what I have to do...I shall satisfy all needs of my family and will try to make it complete in all respects...
