ONAM 2009 -late entry
We had done decoration for diwali and Nisha was quite disappointed that we are not doing any decoration for Onam. My self and Ron joined hands with Nisha & Anish and celebrated Onam in the traditional best we could afford.
With only a few flowers purchased the rest of our decoration was done with the help of plants from ITPL (luckily no one was caught plucking flowers and leaves from ITPL property)
Every time WE do something different it only goes to prove Unity in Diversity :)
Shine in '09 WINNERS

A lot of processes which we started back in Feb and Mar payed off with this victory.

This shall be a moment in my stay at AOL that cannot be forgotten.
A glimpse of the moment that was captured :)

ಇದು ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ದಿನಚರಿ !!! Love's little Notes !!!
Here's an effort or should I say Moments in time which will be a good read after my retirement... am I serious about what I just said ? Yes, very much a believer in the destiny of time and plans unknown, I sure would enjoy the history of myself like the ones of Hitler I read... The only fear-shutdown of blog spot :(
I am not into the acts and modes of dedication,hence I keep it to myself and to the LOVE who shall be the last to strike that chord of my heart which shall be broken and never replaced, if for once it plays a tune I don't like...
22nd Jan 2009 :
Was on a routine at work & that's when I get an Instant Message-Hi Vish...
Conversation revolved around work & recent terminations and then to breakfast.
She asked me if I finished breakfast and I replied - I thought you were cooking breakfast for me and I want you to cook for the rest of my life...
Thus began "Love's little notes" :)
Till then with absolutely no thoughts what so ever,I was forced to think about what I had decided I shall never think. This time though the only difference was there was clarity in the chaos and the decisions that I made.
I guess Feb 2009 was all formal conversations and every time we caught up on gtalk or on aim I was only giving her time to think and I knew she was thinking hard.
21st Mar 2009 :
We speak about the FPR discussion that happened at work.By this time I was firm on what I wanted and she was helping me understand her better before a YES or NO. This can be the most crucial period because you are thinking and its not just the instinct.
08th Apr 2009 :
After long cellphone conversations we decided to meet at Malleshwaram Coffee Day. As usual I was punctual and have to admit she is as punctual too. As any other such meetings would end,this one was serious and it was about how much you can speak about yourself and your family.I was convinced of my decision and she was happy about her decision too.
But the final conclusion was until both families are not convinced we shall go no further in our conversations.
May 2009 :
It wasn't difficult at both places and infact my family was jumping with joy at what I told.It's so nice and beautiful to see your family happy.Some decisions that we make may not be an obvious sad look at the face but you know it's a worm slowly eating your mind starting from the heart. Atleast I was relieved and all losses were restored.
Everyday that I spoke to her brought a new life,sometimes it feels like you just started when you have done it all and had to fortunately or unfortunately taste the bitterness that it has to offer.
May '09 definitely showered some good drops on the seeds newly planted :)
07th June 2009 :
Without any apprehensions I invited her home and I could see the anxiety on her face and the curiosity in my family.
They liked her and it was love at first sight for them. Immediate plans were made that her family will be invited the coming weekend.
This shall be a day unforgettable where I felt nature has blessed me when it rained as if it knew I would love it. In rain with the one you love is a beautiful experience.(Heaven's Blessed on the first date)
That night with a sigh of relief,we bid good night to each other with a smile of faith and hopes.
14th June 2009 :
Her parents were invited by my father to my place so that they could speak and see each other.Have you seen the earth trembling,that's how nervous she was on that day.
It was a lovely evening where the families got to know each other.
21st June 2009 :
After their visit,it was our turn to visit their place.As expected it was a good get together.
The reason why all this was done so fast was because starting 22nd June it's ashada and no good things are done during this month.
4th July 2009 :
Now this was something that I liked...first time myself going to buy jewelry.Vidya came home and along with my Parents we went to Bhima jewels at Koramangala to purchase the engagement rings.
18th July 2009 :
First shopping with Vidya at megamart.We brought shirts and trousers for the engagement and guess what ? after long years I shall be wearing a sweater.I'm sure it will surprise a lot of them around me even my mother,because I believe the weather cannot affect me in any way & hence I don't wear any winter wear. It's my sweet hearts gift & I shall not only wear it but also brag about it :)
09th August 2009 :
The big day-got engaged to Sri Vidya at Kannika Parameshwari Temple in Srirampuram. Srinivasa Kalyana was heavenly. It was a good feeling receiving blessings from elders.Rings were exchanged and so were our hearts !
Now that I'm engaged I bring an end to this and shall start another post "Heart Work"

Love Of Swallows
Here his wife is injured and the condition is fatal. She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.
Here he brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.
He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead. He tried to move her....a rarely-seen effort for swallows!
Aware that his sweetheart is dead and will never come back to him again, he cries with adoring love.
He stood beside her, saddened of her death.
Finally aware that she would never return to him, he stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.

WoodWay Estate - ChikkaMagalur
It all started with a plan for a Team outing and I sat on http://www.holidayiq.com/ hunting for nearby hill stations and comparing the tariffs. Chikkamagalur was pending for quite a long time on my travel list and this web search helped me find a home away from home. Yes ! it was the Wood Way Estate which proved there exists a home away from home.
Though the mail sent by shreedev@woodwayhomestay.com had all the details regarding the route, we took another route which was not so bad but our vehicle took a hit.
Bangalore-Nelamangala-Tumkur-Gubbi-Kadur-Chikkamagalur as against Bangalore-Nelamangala-Chennarayapatna-Hassan-Belur-Chikkamagalur as suggested.
We (Myself,Ron,Joe,PK & Rufi) started at 0330 Hrs on 21st May 2009 from ITPL.Untill Kadur I could see the Santro speedometer hitting 100's & 120's,Rufi was at his best.The Kadur-Chikkamagalur stretch was broken with patches of tar rather than tar itself. Not too sure if I can call that a pothole or a crater but we had to run over it at 60kmph and we had to stop with a thud.Guess what! all the four rims were now bent and I could hear Rufi say "thank God the tyre is tubeless,else it would have bursted".
Ron gave a break to Rufi & took the wheels.I was now the navigator and it was a long 23kms that we covered to reach our destination - Wood Way Estate.
As described by Sushmitha ( she owns the place with her husband Shreedev ) it was love at first sight. Santosh,the care taker welcomed us with a warm smile and the first question he asks us, how about a cup of coffee ?- Oh man! the strong coffee from their own estate with wills from ITC was the best way to start a day. We were lost in the sight of the mountain ranges opposite to the estate & that's when we heard a maruthi gypsy come in. Shreedev who was all smiles introduced himself and this was the first time I saw a host who was all passionate about what he does for his guests.He quickly shared the plans and recommeded what activities are possible within the short stay that we were there.
The moment Santosh led us into the rooms,we were all praise about the interiors,the details that were taken care of,the wardrobe with a dressing mirror and most importantly the cleanliness of the restrooms.We all wanted to hit the shower first,but the sound of breakfast pushed it further.
Ron & Joe fell asleep amidst nature on the hammock and I could sure say - they were in an out of the world experience.
I spent some time with my camera and the greenery of the place and also made friends with other guests who had checked in.Time was sure flying coz it was already lunch time.Lunch was a combo of urban & traditional dishes which included kessa(made of a leaf which looks similar to plantain leaf) and jackfruit paliya.
It was a short rock climbing and we were on top of what seemed so huge from the bungalow. We enjoyed the sight of mist passing through us and the wonderful cloud formations. We hardly sat for 20minutes and it started raining.We did wait for 5minutes to see if the rain would stop as there was heavy wind too.But we were wrong and there was nowhere to hide.I was apprehensive about the Sony camera that I had in my pocket and hence took off my t-shirt to cover it around the pocket so that the camera is safe.
When was the last time you did something for the first time ?
Though I have different answers everytime, this would top the list of my favorites untill I find a better one. It was a great experience with the rain hitting you from all angles and you're walking half bare in the middle of nature saying to yourself-what a nice way to get kissed this way :)
Our evening was as adventurous as it could be and the dinner that followed was awesome,not to forget the IPL match between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Hyderabad Deccan Chargers in which RC won against DC.
I slept not knowing I actually slept for 8 hours straight whereas back in Banglaore I hardly sleep for 3-4 hours.I did not want to wake up & feel the pain of heading back to Bangalore.We spent time walking through the coffee estate and playing with browny & blacky,two dogs of the estate. But you know it well, I was home away from home and had to return back to the traffic and the chaos of the city life.
On our return trip, unplanned stop at Belur and that was indeed worth it.
Now that adds WoodWay to the list of places to be visited again before death.Thanks to my friends who made it happen,Sushmitha & Shreedev for running a beautiful show and to all the staff at WoodWay that make it so special and of course to Rufi's Santro who was the beast of burden and who took the hit yet managed to get us back home safe.

Heaven's blessed on the First Date !
We met near Malleshwaram Coffee Day at 1745 Hrs & then headed to the nearest wonderful spot - Sankey Tank. We walked unaware of how long we walked and finally sat on a bench. That bench shall surely be of historic importance in the years to come. For once after a very long time I felt , time flies when you're in Love. Yes it was indeed time for Dinner as was planned.
Nadhini Deluxe on New BEL Road played host for the dinner that followed. I couldn't have asked for a more romantic dinner when I had a table with a Red Rose in the vase and Kishore's romantic numbers playing at the background.
It was just after we stepped out of the restaurant that I knew Heaven has it's plans and as told by my best friend "If you desire for something,the whole world will conspire to make it happen".Yes it was raining with lightning and thunders in the middle of summer. Ah! what a moment to be with the person who has just walked into your life and who is willing to get wet in the rain saying - I love this moment.
Together we rode on my bike and now it's time to thank all Heaven's for making this day so special !!!
Prem's sure looking forward to more blessings - after all he deserves it ;)

Sweat trip to Murudeshwar and Gokarna
This was an all cousins trip that almost seemed impossible with the chaos and confusion that we encountered before we actually started on 30th April 2009. A long list on e-mails circulated with respect to budget, clothing and accommodation.
On the way we stopped at Jog falls for a sight that always remains fresh like the breeze and the mist that covered the valley. Our accommodation was at hotel kamat in honnavara.
On 31st we covered Idugunji temple, Apsara Gonda falls and Murudeshwar.
On 1st May we covered Gokarna and OM Beach.
OM beach would be the highlight of this whole trip. Though we reached by afternoon that too after our lunch at Gokarna Temple and stayed on the beach till 6pm, we felt we should have spent some more time just watching the waves, the rocks and another boat ride. Fun shall never end at the beach and it shall remind me of all the other beaches that I’ve visited.
We returned on 2nd May and on the way we also visited Lion and Tiger safari.
Temperature was at its peak and as always I enjoyed the sweat that kept on dripping.
This will be a trip that shall be remembered for all the heat, antakshari, memory game and dumb charades.
Kaka Bay – Coorg
After going through all the tariffs of Jungle resorts and fishing camps, we froze on Kaka Bay near Virajpet in Coorg. A wonderful place, adjacent to the river.
We left ITPL at 0420 Hrs on 19th morning, enroute breakfast and everybody fell asleep. That’s when Latha woke me up telling – vish our vehicle has a break failure. Luckily it was not a high way and the driver stopped the vehicle by applying hand brake. No other option left, we had to wait until a mechanic came from Hunsur and repaired it. It was lunch time when we arrived at Kaka Bay. After a full meal we all fell into the water with the life jackets on.
Rafting, boating and swimming followed until we were all tired. Then the usual round of a long walk, gossip and chat. That evening was lucky for me as I won 700 rupees in three Cards game with Irfan & Ron. Camp fire with dance was simply awesome. No one knew when they fell asleep.
Next morning after breakfast we headed back to Bangalore. Lunch and icecream at GoniKoppa was delicious. Sometimes fun never seems to end when you have good company, be it work or a picnic. This trip was soon to be followed by another amazing trip with cousins to Gokarna and Murudehswar.

In Love - Again !
In pleasures of love I write again.
Wings which were long dead ;
Have taken life to fly - to fly again !
To such heights I flew again,
Which only the power of love doth show.
Charming,enchanting,awesome and beautiful-
All words come to life again.
She was there,She was there,
She was all I could see.
The dimple on her cheeks when she smiles,
The sparkle in her eyes when we meet.
Every wave carries a new song,
Every moment takes my breath away.
I shall live,I shall live,
To that moment, till then -
HER HEART BEATS NEXT TO MINE.

Dilema of the LCD TV
I ran through all of Google learning how to buy a LCD and then search and compare prices of various manufacturers. To start off SAMSUNG caught my attention because of it's price,then by LG. I called up Ron and we went to Adishwars in HSR layout to checkout the Ugadi festival offers on different models.
LG SCARLET42 and LG JAZZ42 caught our attention because it has 40000:1 contrast ratio,both being HD1080 and USB compatible. Checked out the EMI scheme and also the exchange offer for SONY flat CTV that both of us had.Had little choice but to freeze on exchange offer because if you go with exchange offer on LG it's zero down payment and 20 EMI's.
Later in the evening took my Father to the show room to show him LG JAZZ and other models.As I had guessed before His eyes fell on SONY V40.Unfortunately for SONY there is no such offer. It was 33% down payment and 8 EMI's.
Even though I told my Father we will go with LG JAZZ , I'm still not sure if I have to wait for some more time and go for SONY.

Today's Fortune
You don't get to choose your manager's and all probabilities you end up working for someone you know is a freaking idiot,pathetic decision maker, high rated gossiper, wait's till the appraisal to give you a feedback,strong believer in perception and above all who considers your hard work as a threat to self.
Not on an emotional note but yes similar thoughts run through everyone's mind when you don't get the expected.This is the capture with a friend who went through the trauma of annual appraisal from a well known company and I had gone to console him and must admit tobacco does heal to a great extent at such situations. He finished a pack of tens.
Two most important things are taken into consideration when an appraisal is done.One performance two potential.
Let me give some insight into PERFORMANCE :-
There is no strategy when a Team is allotted to you yet you have to be all green week on week.
Little or no difference between a horse and a donkey ( both are beasts of burden).
People who steal your files are considered inventors.
The farther you are from your key responsibilities,better the management.
The word baseline and delta carries no meaning at the end but of utmost importance at the beginning.
Down time consideration is only in the books. In reality it can never happen.
Finally performance is directly related to the number of times you accompanied the manager for passive smoke and lousy dinner.
The next bit will make you roll on the floor laughing - POTENTIAL
This word can drive you nuts when you look at it's meaning in a dictionary- Potential means existing in possibility.
If you want to read further be very clear with terms such as Innovation,Passion,Accountability,Collaboration,Integrity,Leadership and Execution.
Untill recently the only meaning of execution i knew was - a putting to death especially as a legal penalty . But oh! my God it carries hell lot of meaning and I'm zapped.
Innovation is borrowing a book from the library and never return again.
Passion is walking fast and gazing stars when your manager is speaking.
Accountability is when you know how to spend the budget allotted to you by saving it in the bank.
Collaboration - I swear i just copied and pasted that from the file.I don't know what it means because I haven't seen anyone here use that word but only aware that yes it carries maximum weightage on your PMS.
Integrity is doing the correct thing even when no one is watching.Forget about the meaning, folks don't do things right even when someone is watching.
Leadership is pushing and pushing until you or the other fall off the cliff.
Simple understanding of Potential - all those work hours spent playing games on the net,ability to laugh aloud at the poor joke cracked by your manager,swiftness in moving your butt off the chair as soon as a senior arrives,poking your nose at all things hanging free,often trying to find different answers to "wassup",proving a point to the core that it was you who invented the wheel,generosity in buying a pack of cigarettes for your boss who earns five times more than you.
The most interesting conversation was when he went on and on the feedback given to him. Oh man, I truly felt like putting all those managers through a narco analysis because I knew my friend really well.
I guess the conversation went on for a very long time and I'm sure I may get nominated for revealing the facts that everyone are aware of in this industry.
It's not in everyone's stride to digest the facts and accept the fact that fate means you to loose.
It takes a lot of courage to take the punches and move on - yet you never know when I may punch back.

Renuka Bar and Restaurant (16)
After a tiring trip of long hours when I returned to Hubli, neither did I have the energy to cook nor the interest. A quick shower & I would ride my bicycle to Renuka Bar & Restaurant. Silent atmosphere with a very good service and excellent vegetarian menu.
By the time I made my fourth visit to Renuka, I had made friends with the waiter’s and the Manager. They would play Rajesh Khanna hits for me and I would enjoy my food listening to them.
If there’s a name of a Restaurant that I wouldn’t forget, it would be Renuka opposite to the Railway Station Hubli.
Philately Club of Hubli (15)
As days passed by there was something haunting me and that was about my hobbies. I used to so much absorbed in stamps,pencil sketches and my treasure trunk at home and I was missing all of them.That’s when I went to post a letter at the General Post Office and met Sajjan Rao-head of Philately club in Hubli.
I immediately opened an account and the next time I visited Bangalore I took back with me my collection of stamps. And the album that I had till then.
Sajjan Rao invited me for a couple of Philately club meetings and introduced me to the top philatelists. Thus my collection which had come to a halt started again and I would spend my leisure re-arranging my stamps.

Lord Varuna - Bengalooru crazy
Wait, let me think.............................. Never !
Come march and it's the start of summer. You see ladies with umbrella's trying hard not to face the tan.,continuous roar of the fan,silent buzz of air conditioning at office,people cursing each other for the congestion and the smell of sweat in trains and crowded buses,a little more business for all the sun screen lotions and people trying to be a lot more health cautious by consuming all the fancy cold drinks...
Alright, now let's come to the Garden City of India - Bengalooru ( where the skies cry when we sweat )
It's the mid of march 2009 and we have a beautiful,pleasant weather with rain drizzling and the cool breeze kissing your cheeks.
I was at work when Myself and Praveen decided it's time for dinner. The moment we stepped out of the explorer building of ITPL , wow! was the expression of the moment. It was drizzling and we decided to take a walk around the campass. And the heavy dinner that we usually have changed to curd rice- just a little more thrill to add on to the weather.
Overall a pleasant evening experience and I guess I would be greedy if I ask anything more from Varuna-the GOD of rain.
Bengaloorige Jai !!!

Why do we dream?
Both, however, agree that we dream during the REM, or rapid eye movement, phase of sleep. During this phase of sleep, our closed eyes dart rapidly about, our brain activity peaks, and our muscles suffer temporary paralysis.
The physiological theory centers upon how our body, specifically our brains, function during the REM phase of sleep. Proponents of this theory believe that we dream to exercise the synapses, or pathways, between brain cells, and that dreaming takes over where the active and awake brain leaves off. When awake, our brains constantly transmit and receive messages, which course through our billions of brain cells to their appropriate destinations, and keep our bodies in perpetual motion. Dreams replace this function.
Two underpinning physiological facts go towards supporting this theory of dreams. The first lies in the fact that the first two or so years of ones life, the most formative ones for learning, are also the ones in which the most REM sleep occurs. It follows that during this time of the greatest REM sleep, we experience the greatest number of dreams. The second physiological fact that lends credence to this theory is that our brain waves during REM sleep, as recorded by machines measuring the brain's electrical activity, are almost identical in nature to the brain waves during the hours we spend awake. This is not the case during the other phases of sleep.
Psychological theorists of dreams focus upon our thoughts and emotions, and speculate that dreams deal with immediate concerns in our lives, such as unfinished business from the day, or concerns we are incapable of handling during the course of the day. Dreams can, in fact, teach us things about ourselves that we are unaware of.
Connections between dreams that the human psyche have been made by many people over thousands of years. The famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle wrote in his "Parva Naturalia," over 2,200 years ago, of a connection between dreams, waking experiences, and emotional needs.
Others have delved into more complicated explanations for dreams, such as the prophetic nature of dreams written of in the Bible, which was and is a belief held by many cultures. Sigmund Freud, one of the fathers of modern psychology, believed dreams to be symbolic of any number of things buried deep within our minds and our memories.
Until someone proves or disproves one of these theories, or poses an alternate one, we are left at square one. Our knowledge as to what causes us to dream is limited to the fact that we do dream, and that dreams occur during the REM phase of sleep. Sweet dreams!
Dreams - unlimited !!!
I spoke to my father and he had his explanation telling since it's a change in the direction it may take a day or two for my mind to adjust to that position. It's been more than a week and I have seriously started to enjoy most of my dreams.
But on 10th march 2009 when I woke up, i could see that i was sweating. I was on my death bed in a hospital with my family surrounding the bed.Conversation about cancer which has attacked me at an early age caught my ears. I could see it all and i was speechless. I even counted the number of people around me. I was about to bid good bye to all when i actually woke up.
On a serious note I'm going to have my dream diary starting today :)
Details of all that I can remember shall be mentioned and the fear is the truth that I have to speak...
A little of Ghazini …
Strange – what was the best sought after yesterday, today becomes a blunder and I guess tomorrow, today will be a blunder.
Theme of the discussion turned out to be Ghazini (a Hindi movie). How I wish I had memory loss could be short term or long term was what one of my friend told and I had to agree. We live so much with the stench of yesterday that sometimes each and every breath becomes a rage of fear, anger, hatred and cruelty.
I being one of those who treasure the leaves and insects that I collected as a child, really would love to have the Ghazini effect. Even though life’s beautiful is what everybody keeps pretending today, we fail to realize we are running away from the realities.
It was half an hour that we spent together and it was joy – the very feeling of having forgotten what we wanted to.

Goa – Bye bye to 2008
Finally the bus arrived at 2300 Hrs and we reached Panaji at 0415 Hrs on 30th Dec 2008. Rufi & Suneer were waiting for us at the bus stand. Ron had booked the rooms at Baga beach and the name of the place was Joaquim’s – a wonderful stay with the view of the beach.
It was only on television that I had seen before the fireworks for the New Year celebration and this time I was a witness for the most colorful New Year of My life.
Time flew like it was nobody’s business and all I recollect now is the beach , the sunset , the banana ride and of course the long walk.
Cheers to Life and 2009 !!!

2008 - ಬ್ರಹ್ಮೆಯ ಸವಿ ನೆನಪು
Professional life :-
- ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು Team Manager ಆಗಿ AOL ನಿಂದ ಪತ್ರ ಪಡೆದೆ. AOL Internship Managementನ ತರಬೇತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡೆ. ಅದೇ ತರಬೇತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ CBTL ( Certified BPO Team Leader ) certificate ಅನ್ನು ನನ್ನದಾಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡೆ. ತರಹಾವರಿ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಗಳನ್ನು ನನ್ನ ಪಂಗಡದ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಮುಟ್ಟಬೇಕಾದ ಗುರಿಯನ್ನು ಮುಟ್ಟಿದೆ.
ಯಾವುದೇ ಅನುಭವವಿಲ್ಲದೆ AOL call centre ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಿದ ನಾನು ೪ ವರ್ಷದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡು,ಪ್ರಗತಿಯ ಮೆಟ್ಟಿಲನ್ನು ಹಂತ ಹಂತವಾಗಿ ಏರಿದೆ. Captive centre ನಿಂದ Outsourced centre ಆಗಿ AEGIS ನ ಆಡಳಿತದಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಒಬ್ಬನಾದೆ.
ದಿನಾಗಲು ೧೪ ಗಂಟೆಗಳಿಂದ ೧೬ ಗಂಟೆಗಳ ಕಾಲ ಕಛೇರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳೆಯಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದೆ. ಇದುವರೆಗೂ ಅಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರನ್ನು ಹಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ೨೦೦೮ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಗೆಳೆಯರ ಬಳಗ ಎಂದಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಬೆಳೆದಿತ್ತು.
ಅಗಾಗ ಸಾಕಪ್ಪಾ ಸಾಕು ಇನ್ನು ಆಗದು ಈ ತಲೆ ಬಿಸಿ ಅಂದು ಕೊಂಡಾಗಲೇ ಯಾವುದು ಹೊಸ ಪಾಲಿಸಿಯ ಪರಿಚಯ ಮತ್ತೆ ಅದರ ಹಿಂದೆ ನನ್ನ ಓಟ. ಹೀಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿ ದಿನವು ಹೊರ ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ನೋವನ್ನು ಮರೆಸಿ ಹೊಸ ಚೇತನವನ್ನು ನನಗೆ ತಂದು ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಕೋಟಿ ಪ್ರಣಾಮ.
Personal Life :-
- ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆರಳಿಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದ್ದ ಉಂಗುರವನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಟ್ಟೆ. ಬ್ರಹ್ಮೆಯ ಮತ್ತು ನನ್ನ ಸ್ನೇಹ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಬಲವಾಯಿತು. ನನ್ನ ತಂಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಭಾವ , ಸ್ಕಂದನ ಆರೋಗ್ಯದ ಸಲುವಾಗಿ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಬಂದರು. ಬಹುಷಃ ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಸ್ಕಂದ ಹತ್ತಿರವಾಗದಿದ್ದರೆ ಆಫಿಸಿನಲ್ಲೇ ಮಲಗಿಬಿಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. ೨೦೦೮ರ ಹಾನಿಯೆಂದರೆ ನಾನು ೮ ಕೇಜಿ ತೂಕ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡೆ. ಹಸಿವಿನ ಪರಿವೆ ಆಗಲ್ಲಿಲ್ಲಾ. ಏಕಾಂತದ ನನ್ನ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಅನುಭವಗಳು ಮತ್ತೆ ನನ್ನದಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಯಾವುದೊಂದು ಕವನ ಗೀಚಲಿಲ್ಲ , ಯಾವುದೇ ಚಿತ್ರ ಬಿಡಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ , ಯಾರ ಮತ್ತು ಯಾವ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲೂ ನನಗೆ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲಾ. ನನ್ನಷ್ಟಿಗೆ ನಾನು ಖುಷಿಯಿಂದಿದ್ದೆ . ಹಲವಾರು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರ ಮಾಡುವೆ ಆಯಿತು , ಕೆಲವರು ದೂರ ಸರಿದಿದ್ದರು , ಕೆಲವರನ್ನು ನಾನೇ ದೂರವಿಟ್ಟೆ. ದೇವರ ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಆರೋಗ್ಯದಿಂದ್ದಿದ್ದರು. ನನ್ನ ನಿದ್ದೆ ಮಾಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಹುಡುಕಾಟದ ಗೊಂದಲದಲ್ಲಿ ೨೦೦೮ರಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಲುಕಿದೆ.
