just like that

It almost seems that Oct-Nov is my blog hibernation period. Even last year, I haven't made many posts in this period. Anyways, since Iam making a re-entry yet again, I guess I will use this post to just give a snapshot of what's been happening with me over the last six months. Return to serious blogging only if I manage another post this month.

1) Work - When I made the choice on campus, I knew it was a good one but wasn't exactly sure if it was the right one. Six months post joining, the initial signs are encouraging. Responsibility, Independence and Pressure would be the few adjectives that I would use to describe the journey so far. With training getting over, I am just waiting to be let loose on real work.

2) Travel – This should count among one of the perks that I have enjoyed at work. From the buzzing M.G roads of Bangalore to the serene shores of Pondicherry, I have traveled across four states and 17 towns, learning something new at every stop. There was a period when I had to explore some new towns in interior TN with just a map, a sales officer and an Indica - Good fun it was!

3) People –The brusque menial in my godown, the smart yet down-to-earth MBA salesman, the multi-crore dealer who sits in a shop so small that two people can’t enter at the same time, the cab driver who has seen more countries than I ever will, the risen-through-the-ranks manager from whom I keep learning new things about management everyday – Its simply been a terrific time meeting new people and understanding what motivates each one of them.

4) Friends – Right at the top of the list of casualties. I knew I would lose touch with a lot of people once I left campus but even the 25-30 people with whom I wanted to stay in touch with have slowly started drifting apart. It may be because my work is too hectic (such a lame excuse!), I come online for a very small time and Iam not exactly the calling types but the fact remains that the only friends I have stayed in touch with are the ones who have bothered to call/mail me. Hoping to correct the situation in the near future (just the way I hope to write a blog more regularly)
