Yes, I have been quite irregular to my space…guilty as charged!!!
There have been a lot on my plate off late.
Work…well!!! Don't get me started on that…let’s just say it pays for
the bills and Home Loan EMI’s. But it’s not as bad as it sounds. We have
finally got some appreciation from the client as well as higher management. So
let’s say all’s well that ends well.
With my current work at office, I have been learning a lot
of Frontend development for mobile and tablets, irrespective of the OS. Currently
we are targeting a good product, which if done well will give us a lot of
recognition. At the same time, I have been on my own developing a couple of
applications, some for the web, some for mobiles and some for Android. Now, the
point that I am trying to make is, the kinda work that I have done in the last
6 months, I hadn’t done in the last 7 years. I have somehow cultivated the
interest of learning more technologies and brig myself up to date. It feels
nice…learning and gaining proficiency on not just new technologies, but trying
to fine tune my other dormant talents…one of them being painting
My first painting is finally done, and everyone else other
than me thinks it has come out nice. May be I expect a little too much out of myself.
But as DB rightfully said, I just can’t become a MF Hussain one fine day. So
patience is the keyword, and hopefully the next painting will come out better.
Talking of my next painting, I am doing a knife painting
this time. This one is the one I really wanna do nicely. It’s a nice colorful
and romantic, and I am sure if done well, will look amazing on my new house
bedroom wall…when both of them are ready that is.
And talking of my new house, they have postponed the
handover date. It was April next and September next it is now. Grrrrrr to that
!!!!
Bhai has finally changed his job. His previous job was
killing him…I always knew this with these big Indian companies, they pay you
peanuts and suck away all the life from you. His new job seems to be nice so
far…and he seems to like it too. With these baby steps, I hope rest of his life
falls into place one by one. Touchwood!!!
MIL is not keeping well since some time, and sometime last
week when I saw her on the Video Chat, I really felt bad and worried for her.
The sad part is, we being at our place and they being at theirs, very little
can be done about it. That’s the sad price you pay for the money and lifestyle
that brings you away from your family.
Well...with that we come to the end of this bulletin. Thanks for listening!!!

And Finally : mon chef-d'œuvre
