Yes I Did….

Image
I have been asked number of times that whether I do know any other Indian(or foreign language) besides Hindi(national language), Punjabi(native language) and English(global language) . And the question is quite obvious since I travel a LOT. Also, at times, its asked that if I don’t know, didn’t I ever try to learn any language too? Well, the answer of both is partially yes and yes. Partially yes for knowing other languages than the three I mentioned and yes for that I in fact did try (a really honest and effortless try) to learn one language of India. Heck, I even bought books, audio tapes to teach me that! Yesterday, while looking for an Oracle book, I did find one of those books in my closet. I bought this book in 2003. Needless to mention that I did read it more than once and not just for learning speaking but for writing as well. I have one more such book and few audio tapes for the same. Even, I was going to hire a tutor to teach me the same in person,a guy who came to my off

Finally, A Small But Much Needed Break….

If you are a regular here, you must have read my last post SMC , you would be knowing that after a continuous 6 days of work and a mere Sunday off, there was a grilling week which was waiting for me. Gladly, that week is over and not just over but with a  great satisfaction too came when I was closing the session. As I said couple of times by now, I had an expectation that the last week would be really hectic. And as like always with me, any wrong/bad feeling that I get into my mind, does come true so the same actually happened as well. When I reached to the office(and I reached very early, 8am itself) , I saw that the whole setup was different from the past sessions that I had taken and due to a change in the policy, I can’t access the support documents for it anymore as well. You can imagine from this that in how much tension I came after seeing this that while I was sitting in an centrally air-conditioned room, drops of sweat came over my forehead right away. I tried to check coup

SMC(Session, Miscommunication, Coffee)….

I couldn’t think of any other title to describe all the three things that’s the reason for SMC and I think it came up quite nice isn’t it :-) . There are three different things that I wanted to talk about and that’s the best I could think of to combine them together. If you are a regular here you must be aware that I had a three days session which I finished at Hyderabad and then I flew to here, Banglore for another 3 days session. Its normally till Friday I work but for this session, the Saturday was also occupied. Besides that it was going to be really hectic taking a session back to back including a travel as well, the module that I was supposed to take was also a new and tough one for me. I had taught an early version of this many times but this was going to be the first time for me for this version’s session. Gladly, it did go okay. I had just three delegates with me and as per them, they learned many a new things in these three days. With lesser number of delegates, its always

Travel Time & Mood Swings….

At times, within a very short time, your mood changes either by seeing something, meeting someone, reading or hearing something or even by eating something. That’s almost the same that did happen with me just now too when I read couple of things at the same time out of which, few raised my eyebrows and few brought a smile on my face. Needless to mention that the mood did change a lot and in a complete contrast when I read both the kind of things. First, let me tell that part which did bring a smile on my face. It’s an email that I have received from a delegate who attended one of my sessions some time back. Somehow, he remembered me as “Amit” and was using this name to send the email. Obviously, that couldn’t reach to me because this is Aman and not Amit LOL. Well, better late than never, so finally, he somehow saw on the certificate of his that the name of the instructor was Aman so he sent immediately the below email which just made my day. I have edited names from the email but the

Blogger Troubles & Pics….

If you are thinking that I have forgotten the spells of the world relieved in my last post feeling relievedd , well that’s not the case. I did it on purpose to remind me that it’s a post that I have re-posted on Friday because Blogger did some blunder and due to the maintenance of it, they removed the posts posted from Wednesday(temporarily). As per this post , they are now back to functional and are also restoring the posts(slowly). Mine, which was posted on Thursday, haven’t yet restored so I have posted the same with a new( and with wrong spells) to avoid the confusion. I hope my original post comes back soon from Blogger’s backup tapes. As I had mentioned in the last post that I shall be uploading the pictures as soon as I shall get them. Well, I got them last night in the raw format. Raw means that they are given to me in the form in which they are captured. There were a lot of them and the total size, without compressing the pictures, was coming up to around 5gb. After compres

Feeling Relievedd….

There is a saying that behind every successful man, there is a woman. Well, I am not really a successful man so I wont say that that this proverb suits me perfectly. But yes, I can surely say one thing that there is not just one but two women in my life who have always been the pillars of my strength. These two ladies know me more well than anyone else in this world, have seen me in my best and worst times and also, stood with me as well. They guided me, loved me, cared for me and still do in a way that I don’t think anyone else would ever be able to do so. There are so many things of my life which only these two know about. And these two are, my mother and my sister sis. Well, there is one another, third lady who knows most about me. She has seen some of those shades of mine which no one else would ever be allowed to see. In two days and few hours spent on an early morning on the airport, I had told her some of those things, pains, secrets of my life which I never did share neither w

All Alone….

I am an Aquarian and that makes me a person who would be much into listening than saying . This means, I won’t be sharing a lot of things, at least not with all at any cost. I may share all the happy things but the sad parts and/or the troubles, that’s highly unlikely that I am going to talk about them to anyone. There is something very important going to happen in my family on 8th of May and there are tons of things about it that I am handling right now along with 4 other friends of mine(thanks so much guys).  Besides the hassles and troubles of the arrangements, there are tons of other things related to this that are going in my mind right now but I can’t (or should say, won’t) talk about but I really wish I could. There is a marathon of mixed feelings going on within me. I am happy, scared, worried, tensed, sad and god knows what else. Also, I am feeling I may not be able to handle everything well but I shall give it my best of the efforts in a hope  that all goes well. Actually,

Joys Of Traveling Are Not Too Many….

I have just got back from my last session. If you have read the last posts of mine, you must be knowing that I wasn’t really feeling so well physically(and mentally) in the session but I am glad that it went well(hopefully since I haven’t got the official rating yet). The delegates were, as like always, so very good and friendly. All of them showed a great interest in the module and I hope that I was able to discuss whatever little I know with them. As I always say, if the delegates show interest in knowing about how can they contact you once you are going to end the session, it’s a sign that they have liked what you said and fortunately, the delegates of my session did ask me for my contact details which does mean that were happy. Two delegates, before leaving on the last day, came to see me all the way to the cafeteria since it was the lunch time. What more I can say than this that I am so thankful to all of you guys for hearing me for 5 days and I hope you enjoyed the program. Than
