A Lonely Weekend....

And its almost less than half an hour here in my place before it starts 13th of July, Monday, declaring the end of a weekend, a long and lonely weekend. I thought I would go to a temple but that plan backfired as the person with whom I was supposed to go, he thought that I am working on Saturday so he left me and went alone. I got a call from a friend that he would be coming to see me but later on, I got another call from him that he is busy somewhere else so he won't be able to make it this time. No issues with that as he was busy in some family matters of him. So that left me sitting in my room. I wanted to go to a shopping mall but I left that idea myself. Somehow, reading some books, listening a song (yes one song only because I liked it very much) , hanging around on the OTN forums, I spent this weekend. I have a seminar to deliver tomorrow and hopefully I shall be able to get back home after that time which is important as I came here in a rather uncomfortable health condition. Wish I can go on a break, on a vacation where when I am sitting in the flight, I don't have to carry a tech book with me. When I shall land up in my hotel room, I don't have to open book immediately and start reading for the next day. Its been a long, very long time since I had gone for anything like that. I know its not coming anytime soon but still, would be better if it could happen. Anyways. its time to listen the song for one last time before going to bed. Hope tomorrows seminar goes fine which is at the moment the biggest tension over my head.

Finished With Smiles....

Alright so I am done with the program and I must say, I am really satisfied the way it went. As I already mentioned, delegates were really nice, co-operative and intelligent. We had a very good time through out the week and surely, discussed a lot about many technical topics. Its always great to have the discussions in the session. This just proves that delegates are finding the session interesting and worth of their time which is very important as they spend a lot of their working time in the session, causing them lots of pending work which they have to finish afterwards. So its must that they find the session and discussions important and worth listening. So seeing this happening is always satisfying. And the last part is always important for me to see that while leaving, whether they have smiles on their faces or not which they indeed had. Moreover, the candidates wrote a lot of kind words about me in the final rating for which I can only say that I am really not worthy for any of those as I know very less but I am truly thankful to them for their kind words! Overall, it was a nice session and I am thankful to all who attended.

What's next now? Well, I was supposed to fly tonight to Banglore to do another session. A session which earlier was supposed to happen on coming Wednesday. Somehow, the program got rescheduled and it was now happening on Monday instead of Wednesday. I had to do another program here only for one day which could only happen after my Banglore program. Well, after two rescheduling's, finally the Banglore program is canceled now. Which means the one day program is supposed to happen now on Monday and this means I have next weekend to spend over here. This would be a rather boring thing to do. But I have got no other choice except to spend it. I wanted to go and do some shopping but I guess, it would be some other time. So the best would be sit and prepare for the next session. But at the moment, its time to watch something(anything ) over the tv to relax myself. I can take at least one day off from the tensions which otherwise are not leaving me :-) .

Hope you have a nice weekend.

Coincidence Or....

I need to take a decision tomorrow. Its one of the things which I wanted to happen from a very long time and which is very important for my professional life. Now, I have been asked to come and get it and the irony is that I am thrown by circumstances at that point, where I have to see an other side of picture too. This does mean that there are almost certain chances that I have to let go this thing, at least for some time. I don't know what to do, as much as I want whatever it is , for me, as much as that other end and its thoughts are stopping me for not going towards it and just let it pass with the hope that there would be many more future opportunities to get it. I talked to my family which obviously  said to go ahead but I know, doing so would just bring so many issues on top of the already present ones. Not sure what to do, really don't!

Just like above, I wanted to get one another thing for me. I saw it with my friend over here while having lunch the other day. I had mentioned to him so many times that I want it so much and tell me some shop from where I can get to which , he even promised to take me to that place. But I won't be going for it. I know if I go and get  it, there won't be any issues from anyone, heck my mom would be the happiest person to be! But I won't be going to get it. May be some other time, its not that important too as like the other thing which I mentioned above. Kind of funny , but still not-so-pleasant coincidence to see a similar sort of thing happening twice in a row.

Am feeling so alone at the moment. I really wish I could ask someone, could tell someone what I am feeling at the moment but whom I want to tell, those seem to be already very busy. So even this is not a cup of tea for me at the moment. Should I just add it as the third coincidence or should say that wishes are not just for everyone, not sure really if you would ask me?

Easy Part Is Over, Tough Parts Starts From Tomorrow....

It will be short as I just got a phone call from home which have put my mood completely off. Things are okay so far with the program. We got couple of cancellations due to which the number of delegates got lessen. But still, all the delegates who are present at the moment are very nice, sharp and co-operative. At the moment, things are fine but this was the easy part up till today. From tomorrow, the real deal starts when we shall be going much more deeper into the session. Hope all stays fine and things would just get more better.

A "Cool" Travel....

Well, yes indeed, it was a very cool travel. Normally I travel in the bus( which is no issue for me since I am doing it from so long) and by this time when I am writing this, I am still on the way. But because, I am having an early flight given this time and because of that, a train ticket( thanks to my accident) , I am actually at the moment on the airport itself, free from check in and other things, writing this blog post. The travel was indeed a lighter one as the train was an air conditioned one and after the train, in half an hour, I am on the airport. So I am not feeling tired at all despite the fact that I woke up at 4am to start the day.

Now there would be a wait for 2 long hours before I would get into the flight. I am not sure what I do with the people who look with strange eyes to someone who is having bandages wrapped around  :-). I am seeing couple of new shops open at the terminal. I wanted to get some thing for myself but I guess, I shall take it some other time :-) So what do one can do when he got no shopping to do and got 2 hours to wait? Well, the best is to sit over the web and write/read blog posts isn't it :-) ?

A Tough Week Starts Tomorrow....

I didn't think that I had to go but it seems that it is inevitable. I don't have any choice but to leave despite of my health. There are 2 programs which got scheduled and there is no alternative except myself for them. Its going to be really tough to travel, work in the condition in which I am at the moment though. Both the programs are completely new for me and this would just make the things much more harder. Let's see what happens? I shall be leaving tomorrow and hope everything goes well and fine. Wish me luck guys and pray that I would be back in one piece and by myself :-) .

2 Lessons Learnt….

If you come over here often, you must be aware about this fact that there hardly is any time when I don't meet with an accident or in other words, I always meet with some accident( pick whatever you like) :-) . But today what happened, in that there is no fault of anyone else but only I am responsible. And it did teach me two important lessons of the road too. What. you still didn't get it, I met with an accident , yes again :-) . And this time, its a "little bit" severe!

Before I talk about my condition, let me talk about the lessons that I won't probably forget ever. The very first lesson is, one must not get lost in the thoughts when he is in command of the driving. Be the thoughts of joy or pain, one must not think anything and should only look at the road ahead as if you are too busy thinking, you may not see what's coming ahead and by the time you actually come to know, it may be too late! I am so much upset over few people and some things from some time. While driving today, I don't know when and how I was thinking just so many things. It was my bad that I was too lost in my thoughts that I just didn't realize that I am driving fast and there is an sewerage cap which is not properly closed and is raised to a very high level. By the time, I realized that I am just right ahead of it, it was too late. I did try to put brakes but as I said , I was just too close. So what can happen when you hit almost a feet high solid iron cap struck firmly with a fast bike? I was flying in the air. It wouldn't be much bad if I had not done the second mistake which became the base of the 2nd lesson that I learnt today.

The second lesson that I guess, I won't forget is that when driving a two wheeler, one must wear the helmet over his head and should not carry it over his arm like I did today. Probably, it was just not my day and I did two repeated mistakes. I normally won't take off the helmet as long as I won't reach to the destination but today, I had to get the petrol. So I took off the helmet at the fuel station and since then, I didn't wear it back. And this was probably the biggest blunder that I did which did cost me a little too much when I touched the road after my short flight in the air.

So what happened? Well, not much except there are some stitches. Its been quite some time since the last when it did happen that I had got stitches. And this only did happen because of my stupidity. Other things are okay, I am not considering them as severe. Hope this has not effected me too badly, hmm what day it is BTW ;-) ?
