An Obituary

With heavy hands and a heavier heart, I offer my deepest condolences to Nikhil on his loss. No words or actions can fill the void that has been created in his life with departure of his dad to his final resting place. May his soul rest in peace and may God give Nikhil and his family the strength and will to bear the loss and look forward. We stand by him in his hour of need.

ॐ शान्ति शान्ति...

Prejudice... Unlimited !!!

I have always believed that people respond more to prejudice, less to logic and even lesser to context. People listen to a word or sentence and form a view about it and don't even take time to let the context sink in. Comment on my last post had me believe even more firmly about it. It seems like everyone thought that I am whining or lamenting or crying over what has been. I am many things but I am definitely not a cry baby. Context of the post was not to be sorry about the past. I very firmly believe that there is nothing, and I mean nothing, that can not be talked about. If I have something on my mind, I don't mind (pun unintended) talking about it.
                                             Its not just about people connected to this blog that I am talking about. I know a lot many people who won't even let you complete before passing on their judgement; and I sometime wonder that if they have listened to anyone at all in all their life. I see people who cling to smallest mistake of someone else but very conveniently cover up their own. I don't say that they are not right at times, but to think that they are the only ones right is the height of prejudice. Of course it is prejudice to think that other one is wrong without attaching any logic or context to the whole episode. Back in days, I was repeatedly  told to look at the big picture. Who does it now?

Covering the Gap !!!

Its been a long time and it is not unlike me to be not write for such a long time. There has been a lot happening in past days and I wanted to write about it too. I, however, decided to do other things; like watching movies or reading literature, to take my mind off the incidents instead of writing about them. Maybe I was too affected by them at those times, and I decided not to write fearing a biased outflow of emotions; which I consciously try to avoid. My idea of blogging on the go using my phone also couldn't materialize due to the fact that my phone is too small and screen to hard to type anything. I will try to address all I wanted to write in the past month, which for obvious reasons will be quite a mess as thoughts will not be streamlined.
                                      First things first, we have shutdown one of our business locations. It has been a long due decision. I don't believe that it was very well timed but it was to be done sooner or later. So I guess, sooner the better. Most of my time, and for that matter frustration, in the last week was due to the moving out operation. Theoretically it was supposed to be a cakewalk, due to be completed in first week of the month; which like any other project turned out to be quite different than planned. I guess it was my fault to assume that everything would go as planned without any interference, direct or indirect. I forgot that some people tend to dabble till the very end and then pull back, just like that.                               

  As I said earlier, my thoughts are not in sync at the moment. I guess, I will have to write daily to get my point across. It however may prove difficult than I think as proven by my earlier attempts at daily blogging. Lets see...
