I have moved in to my home in Velachery … The Painter and Carpenter did a good job but a closer look and you would feel that they should have had an eye for detail … But its ok … I am satisfied, given the time I could spend for supervision … I guess it was the best that I could do … The CD containing the Photos is in the office and so I will post that later …
It took me couple of weeks to get settled in … Set things up … decide a place for everything … set up the right “processes” so that I am able to maintain the house well …
One good thing that we managed to do was to dispose of lot of crap that we had gathered over the years … My father had already done the first phase of that job when we moved from Nagpur to down south … And “we” managed to do a good job of the second phase when we moved in here … Lots of unwanted things that Amma would say, “In such-n-such situation/occasion we would need that” … but the point is that, in those once in a blue moon situation/occasion we would not find that thing … So I put an end to the chapter and lots of crap was disposed …
One of the distinct difference I noticed as compared to Thiruvanmiyur was that it was hotter here … reason being, one, it’s the top floor, second, we are not that close to the sea as we were in Thiruvanmiyur so, there is no continuous supply of fresh, cool breeze as in Thiruvanmiyur … so to “beat the heat” we have fitted a cooler (we had retained the one that we had in Nagpur) in one of the bed rooms and also purchased an AC for the other bedroom … So the summer is cooler now … But still its really hot …
Things are very busy in the office after the re-org … Suddenly there is lot of work in terms of planning etc … Business is also flowing in steadily so that also keeps us very very busy !! I have been coming back home consistently after 10:00 in the night for the last week and a half … seems to take a toll on your productivity after a while …
The other day … I was having a discussion with Jan on Destiny … She was saying, “Everything in life is destined … preplanned … and we all are just players playing our part in this grand drama” … I was countering her statement saying, “What about people who have been successful in life – made it from rags to riches, they didn’t accept life as it is, they fought back and :-) After such an argument I couldn’t argue any further …But I still blurted out, “I don’t believe in destiny – I guess there are things that we can’t control, but there are things that we can control and make a difference”. The thought was there in my mind … And then in between all the chaos in my mind the eternal truth emerged … “THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO ARE ‘DESTINED’ NOT TO BELIEVE IN DESTINY. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ‘DESTINED’ TO MAKE THEIR OWN DESTINY” … Until next time reflect on that :-)
And I found a new friend in an avid blogger at office … You should all read his blog … Its Jamshed Velayuda Rajan at his best …
Jamshed: I have removed the setting that disallows non blospot members to comment on my blog … So you can go ahead and comment your heart out …
