Yes it's been awhile since I had updated my blog and I have to say that it has been my fault as for the past week I was so busy with my work. My wife came back from her holidays from India and she flew out from Chennai and I as usual miscalculated her arrival, thinking that the flight would land as per schedule but the Malaysian Airlines landed 15 minutes ahead of schedule and also she cleared the immigration and customs very fast and I was 15 minutes late. By the way the flight landed at 5.15 a.m. instead of 5.30 a.m. and I was at the airport at 6.10 a.m. So am I to be blamed?

Well since she is back, the home front seems to be in order now but my work front is crazy. I was promoted minus the pay increment and now I have double the work load. Oh...God how I wish the last interview that I had gone to should materialize and I then I can kiss goodbye to this present company. Everyday I am runnng in circles trying to get things done and I don't have the right people nor the "people" in the first place. And I have datelines set like "yesterday" to get things done today.

Tomorrow is a holiday due to "Hari Raya Haji", the muslim festival of sacrifice but it looks like I have to sacrifice my holiday and be at my site office tomorrow to prepare for my meeting with the sub-contractors on Tuesday. So I guess I am the lamb that is being sacrificed at the altar.

Feeding the blog with my problems is not a good option but I have turned into a zombie, from the moment I wake up, walk, talk and eat "work" as the new management that took over the company is driving us with a whip and the "bloody" economy is not helping me as I know getting another job with the same pay is nearly impossible. Looks like I have to bear with this hardship and be that lamb as I had mentioned earlier.

Like they say "Life is no bed of roses".....

Well, if you are the lamb, then at least your wife is there to cook it. Was she angry about the airport pick-up delay?

Good to have you back and blogging, though.

lol...I like roast lamb...

She was angry for the delay as she called me from the airport and snapped at me....and I didn't know where to park the car...at the pick up area or the basement carpark ...as she didn't tell me where she was waiting...she was just angry that I was late...

So how are things at Mumbai...

if the flight was supposed to land at 5.30, then you should have been there at 5.15...arriving at 6.10 is simply not doable...now you know the wrath that my hubby must be facing at home :)

scribbler@I got up at 4 a.m. and I drove from my house at 5.00 a.m calculating the time it takes to land and clear the immigration and customs...unfortunately the flight landed early and also my wife told me that the flight was practically empty, that's why she was cleared early. Mind you after that I had to get her breakfast and then rush off to work...

Btw Thanks for the award...

I guess a little waiting is ok...as when I fly back I usually take the cab home...

Renu@ Life is like a Hell Hole for me with all the work load but sometimes I guess it is better to be running around in circles rather then not having any circles to run around...

You are right on my mistake in keeping my wife waiting...

Thanks for dropping by...

Happy Birthday Post

Guess by now I would have collected one of those and it's like getting closer to "home" that is if you get my drift. Woke up pretty early in the morning and my son from Moscow wished me "Happy Birthday" on MSN chat and it was about 1.30 a.m. there (God knows what he is doing up so late). My wife just wished me ...... It's a sad day for me as I know I am getting older and nearer too....(should I say grave....) Here are some quotes that I spotted on the net and would like to share them with you, to at least cheer me up..... Emily Dickinson We turn not older with years but newer every day. Bill Clinton When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old. Cherokee Expression When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Paul H. Duhn You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your des...

Writer's block

Seems like I am stuck on what to write and where is my tea to perk me up? I am sitting in my cabin at my office and wondering what I should write. So far nothing interesting happened to me as it has been work, work and work. I was appointed as a Director for one of our subsidiary as a corporate nominee from my company. But the catch is, I am appointed as a Director with all the liabilities minus the extra cash. Am I being foolish? I leave that as it is and now I have to unblock my writer's block. Come on ideas, flow. Looks like it is dried up and maybe I should meditate and something might creep in while I am in bliss meditating. But then again, meditating in my cabin is not a good idea as it would construe that I am sleeping on my job or they might think that I have turned into a zombie. Yeah, I got my trip to Hyderabad on 09.11.2008 approved by the Directors and I am going to be there to wind up my residence and office, I would be there for a week (aha...paid vacation). Well that...

LIQUID LIFE

H 2 O In an irony worthy a Greek tragedian, the first act in the drama of water crisis is going to be a global flooding. Global warming will result in a rise in sea levels as the glaciers and ice caps melt, thereby depleting the earth's crucial reservoir of clean, non-saline water Nilakshi Sharma Frogs are being wedded to frogs in elaborate; ritually correct weddings in Assam in an effort to appease Varun, the rain god, because there has been no rain in Assam in the past few months and the ground water is drying up. Quillagua, a Chilean city that holds the distinction of being the driest place on this earth, is dying a parched death. Their lifeline, the river is dying. What the water companies have not taken away, far in excess of what they were supposed to take, the mining companies have polluted to unsustainable levels. In Chamoli, Uttarakhand, the smaller glaciers have disappeared and the largest one has retreated by many miles. United Nations Development reports are warning...
