Changes

For some time now my life was not changing. Same old things going on. Same project same job profile, same old things to do. But since I have returned back to Mangalore, things have been moving swiftly. Earlier, in mangalore, I would not have even dreamed of taking a weekend off to go to Goa. And there I was enjoying a sunday with Makarand in Goa. Trekking was what we had done last in Matheran some 4 years back. and Last weekend I found myself trekking to Kudulatritha with the Syngenta EAI team here. I thought I would have some time for myself as soon as I come back to Mangalore. But Am in middle of yet another project and am finding myself increasingly busy. Am coordinating a project for Singapore sitting here in India, just as i used to do from onsite.
Things around me also have been changing swiftly. Am one of the oldest member of the project now. Am treated with some respect here. Our PM also has left the company, Yet another PM would be joining Syngenta EAI, fourth one at offshore now. One new PM will be joining the Onsite team. Athar will be on a leave for a month. Cant imagine life at onsite without Athar who always used to keep us on our toes. Will have to see how things work out in his absence.
Finally Am still undecided on whether to get my stream changed from Project management to Technical. Was almost sure I have to do that till I had a chat with Jagan. But am uncertain again. Anyways this will be postponed for atleast a month now, since Athar is on leave and Jagan has already left. Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya....

Me back in India

Finally I am back where I belong. My country, my land, My city(?), my animals, my mosquitoes, my people, my busses, my trains :) so good to be back. Nothing has changed here. Same old company, same old trains, same old friends, same old FAWDI. But some things have changed. The fact that I was an ordinary SE when I went to Switzerland with almost no voice. Now am a PA (they say its good to be one :)) and people do listen to me. wanted to write something good. but i seem to be jumping on many thoughts now. so will write something later :)
Cheers!!
