May be the creative well had dried up(in fact could not think of a proper Title) or it could just be that I did not feel like writing anything for some time now. My last post had been a long time back. So I guess I am back now.
Its been almost three months since I landed on the shores of Singapore (well I just landed at the airport, that was purely for the dramatic effect, never mind!!!) I haven’t shared much since then. For starters, Life has been frenetic.
If you are looking up in Google (bye bye dictionary 
) for frenetic it reads ‘Fast and energetic in a rather wild and uncontrolled way’ . Well that’s how life has been.
A new job – you know how it is, the learning, more importantly the unlearning, the flurry of manuals, process notes, the intros, the careful distance that you maintain while you talk to future team mates, the joy of closing your first deal, the pathetic look on your first mistake, the helpless expression when someone asked you something you (obviously ) did not know. All this has been pretty interesting. Apart from that, the walks in the afternoon after lunch is something that I am loving. And in no other country you can afford to walk right past the Parliament and the Supreme court. We do that every afternoon. It’s cool, I know!
People – In a land far far away, I did not hope to make so many friends so soon. But God willing, it has been great. Right from office to home to weekend games it has been friends all around. After Kanpur, Coimbatore and Pondicherry – in this country I am basking in the company of friends.
Look Closer.. that's me bowling!!!
Cricket – this is the highlight of my weekend. After 3 and a half years I am back into active cricket. The best part is I get to play in grounds of absolutely good standard, with the complete kit. An amazing set of team mates, good competitive matches, the usual injuries, first going flat while bowling and then going flat (literally) after your spell. Not having played for so long was really tough. In fact I dropped 4 catches before I held on to my first one. We have lost a couple of crucial matches ( no correlation with the dropped catches though!) but are hoping to come back with a bang again. Maybe you could expect more blogs on cricket in the coming days with the amount of cricket that is getting played. Let me talk no more of cricket as the steam that left the ears of fellow BIM-ites has reached me and it is scorching hot.
One event I missed was the Formula One –Night race in Singapore. We got to walk on the track 2 days before the event. My God, these guys did not even have to pave it over for the race. That is the standard of the road here. The track was a mere 200 yards away from our office and the sound of vrooming engines was too tempting. Yes, we could hear them sitting at our desks. Hoping to make it to the event next year for sure.
So I guess that is it for now. Will catch up sometime soon!
