ThoughtfulChaos

All good things must come to an end. And so must this blog. This is my last post on this blog. Bye ThoughtfulChaos.

This has been my first seriously maintained blog and it has been active for close to a year and a half. I have enjoyed blogging here but now it is time to say adieu. What better time than the New Year’s Eve.

There are no specific reasons for doing this. Well, there are many minor reasons but no single major reason. I have made quite a few friends through this blog and have blogged about many a topic. This blog started out as a platform for my opinions on everything under the sky but pretty soon it turned into just a personal diary read by my Dad, a few close friends and a few more.

There just might be one more post after this but don’t bank on it. Bye for now.

This is my last week in Delhi. I am moving to Mumbai next week to puruse a new opportunity!

Same company and same group but different project altogether. Not only a different project but a different job profile and one that is full of challenges. Needless to say I am really excited and all geared up to go.

I will keep this post short because I am really really short of time. More details in the next post.

This weekend will be spent in good old Ahmedabad as planned. I have missed Navratri for 2 years in a row now so this time I made it a point to be in Ahmedabad for Navratri. Many of my friends are also there in Ahmedabad so I am going to have a ball of a time.

That's all for now. Over and out.

On this day, 2 years ago, I joined my current company. It has been a very interesting 2 years with lots of ups and downs, both on the professional front and personal front. In these 2 years I have seen 4 new cities (Trivandrum, Pune, Mumbai and Delhi), gone through around 2 or 3 job profiles, picked lots of new skills, made lots of new friends, lost touch with some friends, lived alone far away from my family and probably morphed into an adult. I still am not sure about the last part but well that's me.

1. In Mumbai.
   
   • Saturday night to Sunday night.
   • Staying with Gaurav so that means long discussions late into the night. Mostly gossip.
   • Might bump into Suman who is coming in from Melbourne. Will meet her if her flight is late and she misses her connecting train to Ahmedabad. Am keeping my fingers crossed :-)
   • Just missed Namrata who should be in Australia right now. All the best Sahil. And you too Namrata. But mostly Sahil :-)
   • No specific plans in Mumbai. Might go watch a movie with friends. Or just chill out at some friend's place.
   • Keeping my fingers crossed about Mumbai rains. Kunjan told me yesterday that trains were cancelled for a day.
2. In Ahmedabad.
   
   • Monday morning to Wednesday evening.
   • Feeling a bit homesick. Has been happening more frequently recently. Don't know why.
   • Lots and lots and lots of home food.
   • Hope it does not rain much in Ahmedabad when I am there.
   • Bantu coming from Bangalore for a few days. Will be meeting him in Ahmedabad after a long long time. I think since the last 2 years we have met only in Mumbai. Wah re Mumbai!
   • Suman will be in Ahmedabad. Long time no see, very few emails and calls... so lots of catching up to do. Have already told her that Monday lunch will be at her place. Shameless me :-)
   • Hopefully Mona don is free in Monday and Tuesday.
   • Wanted to meet DA-IICT gang but am not sure if we can work out something. Long time since I met many of them.
   • Wish Vineet were there too.
   • Have to check up whether any more non-resident Amdavadi friends of mine will be in town.

Feeling hungry and sleepy but lots of work to do... so back to work. See you later.

If I were a poet I would have penned a poem.
If I were good at articulation I would have written something more meaningful.
If I had tons of money and time I would have visited you.

But I am none of the above. So I will just shout a very Happy Friendship Day to all my friends out there. I am very lucky to have tons of friends from different phases in life scattered around the globe who have each given me different things and still continue to do so.

By friends I also mean my parents, grandparents, brother and other relatives with whom I am close... after all these are one of my earliest and best friends.

Life indeed wouldn't be even half the fun it is now if I didn't have you guys. Thanks.

Even though its not Christmas I do feel a little like Calvin.
