a month's sabatical...

Discovered i have had nothing to write in a month..is that true? Well, not that anything has motivated me. Ups and downs, rights and wrongs...so many emotions have been criss-crossing each other that now it all seems like an entangled portion of a thread of cotton lest it would have disentangled with ease. Maybe its how I am looking at my life these days. Will this list of To-Dos ever end? Professional - Personal, they all seem to summon an agenda!! Phew.... At work I can now say i have the hang of things, now supposed to tell myself i am at least a spec better than where I started. Went through the whole RA (route agent aka driver salesperson) stint and then got promoted to being a CE (Customer Executive) which I am today. I actually have some 6 sectors across the whole of Chandigarh, which are supposed to be my markets, i am supposed to know all shop keepers and deal with any issues that may arise- a walking talking bible of these markets-- learn the mechanics, understand what is apparent and try to change it too.. testing all my faculties, sales, marketing, and manpower too... it is definitely very challenging and interesting but need to still get under the skin of things and look at the bigger picture which i am perhaps still missing, getting too involved with the granularities. I guess there is some learning here too. I can say I already have a few things in mind, but somehow I am unable to unfreeze the frozen budgets to melt in my favour! Another learning... :) I am also nearing my mid year appraisal here at the Unit... so I better have a LOT to say. Personally, I really think I am enriching myself. I think I have now encountered all possible types people and problems and have a better grip on the dark side of life. Well, if you are a relative reading my piece- PLS dont fret and in the curiosity pick up the phone and call my parents to ask if I am OK, yes I am :) and if you are a friend- call me I will give u all the dump and then laugh it off... some friends have been doing that I am ever so grateful to them. Apart from that, these days am also trying to sort out a close friend's problems and thinking for her... hope I am thinking right and that everything turns our right for her, coz she is really a very special friend. Have been going to Delhi quite often and just love being home..Mom & Dad are ever so so loving and they never seem to have enough of me... I reciprocate. Even my brother, is growing up and everytime I go back home I see he has become much more independent and smarter... he is such a darling. Have been missing so many important things at home... staying away keeps u away from things you need to know... never got to know my mom was undergoing medication for some serious problems.. hated the fact i could not be there when she must have gone to the hospital for a test - and then waited anxiously for her report... scares me even more... hope everything is ok. Getting to the lighter side... watched Chak De- twice- and really liked it. The first time with office crowd and then with family and guess what I cried the second time round :D... after analysis of why that happened, I discovered that the first time I was sitting next to my boss....lol. Waise the movie was very nice and i loved te repartees of all the kudis... i think well done...plus the after effects, we won a series... pls someone make another Lagaan, we might just have lost the NATWEST series by the time I finish writing this... Till now I have been around quite a bit in Chandigarh so for those of you, looking to stop by please contact me.. i can take u around - for free. Another craze these days is Sa re ga ma.. i am avidly following it and enjoying every moment. Infact my territory is sponsoring - Awaaz Punjab Di, which is a local take -off on the Indian Idol. SO i got to see the internal working of these shows, the madening crowd, the enthu crowd. Some Punjabi women were dressed to kill.. well i dont know KILL who...hehe.. well that’s the charm of Punjab -- what u wear is watever u possess... Chalo..abhi baad mein more
