On a Comeback

Its been over 3 months since my last post........thats a very very long time to have not blogged, but circumstances were such.

My trip to India was a very busy one. Just before I left, my boss asked me what I had planned for my "holiday". When I told him the plans, he said "Looks like you will be more relaxed when you are back from your holiday". Yes it was a hectic trip made worse because of my health.

It is not good to be on a holiday in India and to fall sick, get dehydrated, lose 2 kgs in half a day and get on drips to be barely able to recover in time for a very important occassion - my ENGAGEMENT.

Well, well...... Yes that is right. I was in India for my engagement. i am now engaged to my sweetheart of 3 years (actually a little more than that now) Gayathri :) For those of you who are wondering, she is the amusing_musing Gayathri, whom I first met via my blog on indiatimes :) I dont lie when I say that Blogging has given me a lot :). I will put up some pics when I find the time.

My parents were scheduled to fly to Melbourne with me. We were supposed to spend 3 days in Bangkok on our way in. Because of my health and because of the Civil war situation in Bangkok at the time, we cancelled that trip and flew straight in to Melbourne.

The last month and a bit in Melbourne have been hectic and stressful. My health has not been the best, still only recovering. My Dad fell sick and spent 10 days in hospital in Melbourne (not the best way to spend a holiday). And now that hes back home and recuperating, the Insurance company wont let me sleep, with all the documents that they want to settle the claims.

And then theres work, where my project was in Deployment phase and I was spending extra hours at work. And then theres the weather in Melbourne which has been like winter, though it is supposed to be peak summer.

Phew!!!!!! Enough of whining, i guess. I suppose, if I have found the time to blog, after all of the above, its a positive sign. I am looking fwd to more of this.

Stay tuned for more!!!!

External factors

The last 8 months have been like a roller coaster ride. There have been things that went well and there were things that could have been better, but what hurt the most are the things that did not go my way. The frustrating part of this whole ride is that the things that did not go my way were all environmental or extrernal factors, none of which I had control over. It brings about a feeling of helplessness.

I have never been a fan of roller coaster rides at the theme parks. I am looking forward for this ride to end so that I can get on my feet and walk my way past things at my own pace and with myself in full control. When on my own feet, I can atleast step up my effort if the environment conspires against me.
