Pundit's 2011 Birthday

Aneko kala jinko bhent mein mili,

Gayeki, chitrakaari aur Palmistry;

Jinka happy vaala birthday hai aaj,

Vo hain, Sri Sri 1001 Tripathi Maharaaj!!!!!!

Pup's 2011 Birthday wish

Pappu humaara sab se pyaara hai,

Uska face hi nahi, chuttar bhi dulaara hai;

Kaam to sab karte hain magar,

pups ne logon ko kaam pe lagaaya hai!!!

Gandhi's 2011 birthday wish

No Corona no budlight,

Humaara Gandhi hai sabse bright;

Chahe ho India, US or Singapore,

Pen uchalte uchalte usne zindagi bitaai!

50, and Still Strong…

Growing old is all about attaining maturity,
Floating new ideas and working towards them with sincerity,
Everyone grows old, not wise though indeed,
Vision is important, and so are the deeds.

With goals in mind we create opportunity,
Focus on people with imagination and creativity,
With each building block in place,
We empower people to win the race.

The race is long, but the vision is clear,
We are almost there with each passing year,
Determined to make a mark, keeping people up-to-date,
We set new goals, work hard, and leave rest to fate.

This is a special year, a new milestone set,
But we don’t need a crown or a diamond throne for that,
With 50 "printing" editions old and pen still mighty bold,
This is a call for Infoscions to tell stories still untold!

Life is Beautiful

It has been a while that I am able to find some time for myself. Again!! I think this syndrome strikes me now and then. Why? Am I slow or am I bogged up with too many things at the same time. Well, I’m sure and my wife also agrees that I’m not slow. It’s that I take too many things in my plate and try to eat them all and eat them in a well organized and systematic way. So if I see the current situation, my “platter” includes:
1. Family attention and frequent travel
2. Coordinating College Alumni site development
3. Helping Fund collection for College sports event
4. Office projects
5. My transfer status between offices
6. Investing and tracking my portfolio
7. Writing blog as frequently as possible :)

So the two key points are:
1. Lot of things at the same time, and
2. Working systematically

Both these two points add to the lack of time in my life (at least assume for now!). But if I introspect, the good thing is that there is room for everything! I mean I don’t see complaining to myself that I’m unable to do something because I don’t have time. It’s always that I say I don’t have time for myself and not for anything else.

So the next moot point is, am I neglecting myself. Well, I think that’s also not correct because:
1. I make sure that I see my face couple of times in the mirror and apply some day/night cream :-)
2. I make sure that I’m eating good and eating right (though my wife will disagree on this!!)
3. I involve in some physical activity – either some sport or exercising at home
4. I involve in some religious activities
5. I make sure that I call my close ones every now and then – this helps in satiating my hunger to remain connected!
6. I’m almost up-to-date in the Hindi movies arena

So why am I cribbing… I’m doing so much for myself. It’s just the perception. Change it!!
Sorry guys for wasting your time… I’ve no complaints whatsoever :-)

Life is beautiful!
