Ode to my place of worship

Its been close to 3 years I have been going to my place of worship, for the past two years, I have not been able to attend Ayudha pooja at my place of worship. But this year, I did attend and I am even more prompt in putting up a post the same day! I was upset for not making it the last two years!

My place of worship is where I have been training for close to 3 years. Well, I do not know how much it has got to do with my professional side, but to my personal side, its got to do 200%.

I think, its got to do everything with what I do, what I think, what I wear. Its only after I enrolled and visited this place of worship each day, I did get better and its only after I got that better, I did complete 4 (really difficult) Himalayan treks and loads of treks in Western Ghats including Kumaraparvata and also did Kumaraparvata cleanup. [Next planning for the 21 day Himalayan trek, but not that concrete]

This has got to do with why I am persisting with the same job, why I am still content with being in India. It has brought me loads of happiness, in return for a meager two letter word called hard work (and yes discipline too).

I feel very happy after attending Ayudha Pooja, so here's attaching few pics where I pray each day. Hope to continue praying for many more years to come!.

Cheers,

Things changed in the last few weeks

Many things have happened in the last few weeks. Most of which is not prominent. But I do want to mention couple of things though,

- I have been training rather irregularly.
    Ever since I came back from Himachal trek, I did not find the enthusiasm to maintain that zip to train, resulting in missing training sessions for over 3 weeks and the irregularity still continues!
- At workplace couple of people left.
   One person left and the other one is leaving shortly. So the people with whom I interact has come down by 2.
The good part is, we had a security guard who had quit and changed his line of work who came back to being a security guard. It is an exception, but sad part is he too had left for good and probably got laid off in his other job!
- I excessively feel the need to be alone. These days I dislike speaking to people, sometimes, I even dislike people speaking to me nor speaking next to me. I prefer to be alone most of the times.
  If you think thats depression, then I disagree. its needing quiet time after spending your day amidst chaotic honking traffic plus extroverted non sense speaking office people! (I am glad I have matured).
- I am not enjoying work anymore, only thing which makes me stick is the 11-8 pm work timings plus leaves plus the free transport provided plus the comfort of doing my work instead of leading a team of dumb headed incapable nitwits!

I may sound sarcastic in this post but do I care, I still have the urge to travel, but too lazy to pack bags hence become excessively choosy on travelling. Plus I am aging too!

Cheers,

Blogging from office courtesy ..Jio

I never had dreamt of blogging from office, reason being unethical, using office network to post personal posts on blog. But owing to some very specific reasons, I did change myself and let myself in to the craving of posting during office time rather lunch time.

Those reasons include.
 - Lots of time since I posted, urge to write something!
 - I see people going for pizza breaks/lunch/tea time and again for over an hour. Is that ethical, considering we are billing 8 hours?
 - I found no time after going home that I could write about, either I travel out of town or to office or train.
 - Plus I get so moody after interacting with people that, I need some alone quiet time that, I do not want even writing to come in between, heck even the reading has taken a back seat.
 - Finally, I am blogging not from office network but using Reliance Jio hotspot from somone's mobile.

If you can call this as free marketing attempt for Jio, do I care? as if my blog has many readers!

Many things have happened over the last couple of months and I am indeed running short of time.

Let me try to put it few stuffs which I might have missed and which I can recollect!

Cheers,
