Here I’m once again to keep myself as active as possible. This is no write-up as such; it’s more of a self assessment. I started of with the Blog couple of months back, only to migrate from another portal. And I said myself to be more active on this, possibly 4-5 write-ups every month. Somehow, I have been able to meet my expectations.
Things are going pretty well. Last week, I had couple of things in my mind to write but somehow time did not allow me to do so. Most importantly, the Australian Open. Nadal Vs Federer. What a match it was. A sporting treat. I had all the highlights in my mind, set by set, but by the time, I sat down to write in, it seems to have faded in some way. Federer has been my favourite, however, Nadal is surely the next big thing. I mean he has already won couple of Grand Slams, even bettering Fedex in most of the matches, but Australian Open 2009 would now surely put him into this elite club. Federer’s tears said it all, how tough it was for him to let it go; I mean he just gave his all, but he realizes someone outplayed him. I was always in awe of the backend Fedex has, but here’s someone who bettered, and boy! How better was he. The unbelievable angular shots, athleticism. Nadal, I’m going to follow him from now; but again, I’ll not forget Roger, I hope he goes on with one more Grand slam to catch up with Pete Sampras and topple him.
Couple of things happening at the personal front. Feeling good about the changes. For once, I went to the Office Gym last Monday. Huh! It was a difficult step. As if I’m entering a temple. I saw the weights, multi gym, benches..and finally the cardio machine. For me, a tread mill is where I belong, I guess I need to stick around with it for the next couple of months. Last year, I was in the same gym only to fulfill my membership( I had bi-annual meaning two days in the year) and done. And yes, this time around, I raised my bar, its been a week now! Hopefully it will continue for sometime.
The Gyming efforts came in only because of the food that I take now. For a change, I’ve having home food, yes! I got myself a new cook. He’s a Bong, so we have the eastern connection. All I have to do is, do myself a DJing act. I play some Kishore Kumar numbers, coupled with some Mithunda & Bappi da numbers from the net, and he’s all smiles, his happiness comes out in the dish. I take food in office as well, to me, it’s a great satisfaction for I have been attending the same cafeteria for ages now. However, I’d rather keep my fingers crossed for now, for this is the third cook that I got in a span of 6 months.
As I’m writing this piece, my TV is on, and ‘am simultaneously catching up with it. NDTV has come up with this noble initiative GREENATHON. Great! Corporate Responsibility is essential, does help in the nation building. Good to see the media getting into it. Specially for a very important cause, lighting up villages that never saw lighting. There’s this solar lantern that has come out, feels like respecting those who invented this. There’s a mass clean up doing in the banks of Yamuna, as part of the initiative. Worth an applaud. Even I loiter around every now and then, but acts like this makes you pause and thing. There’s something that needs to be in the curriculum of every institution, public and private organization, COMMUNITY SERVICE. The west has it in their’s, even we have it in some of our schools. But there’s a mandatory. Hope NCERT takes a note on this. I know corporates show a lot of effort in community service, a lot is being observed in voluntary involvement. People take up causes in Old age homes, free education in orphanages, distributing books and notebooks etc. Bangalore has this whole traffic control issue. There were few voluntaries that supported the traffic police during weekends. But I guess we need to make more on the cleanliness part of the city.

Just saw the announcement in NDTV that the intiative crossed the 2 crores level of donation. My appreciation goes to the Bollywood fraternity, people who are involved in the cause. I like Preity Zinta, she’s always there for such causes. On an overall note, yes! it was all in a noble cause, nation building cause.
And I, definitely shall continue to keep jotting down my thoughts as and when I find time…
