Learning in the last year and a half

The last 19 months have been a kinda of a roll-a-coaster ride! Mostly troughs and a few peaks.

What have I learnt:

1. How to wear a tie - precisely how to tie a tie knot

2. What it means to put on weight!! ;-) What it means to be of normal weight when compared to being underweight!

3. How it is to deal with difficult bosses. Though have not fully figured out the solution, but am much better than before

4. How not make a suckers choice! Help from HR came handy Read this wonderful book, which made me realize the suckers choice which I keep often making Crucial Conversations

5. How does it feel to fall from a position of power or from a successful career to a not so good one :-(

6. How not to fight with friends for the wrong reason

7. How much little of MS Excel I knew and how much more there is to learn

8. Work at times as an individual contributor

9. How to travel 4 hrs each day to work by public transport and what it means!

Ferrari Ki Sawaari

Ferrari Ki Sawaari Watched this movie last weekend and I was like WOW!! what a movie. This movie is real good, especially if you are a parent, you'd like a bit too much. The entire movie is good, with no boring episodes or unwanted characters. Every single character in the movie is there with a purpose and has been cast well. The first half belongs to Sharmaan Joshi and the next half is carried through by Boman Irani. Boman has done an excellent job, his mannerisms, his body language, his dialogue delivery, EXCELLENT is the word. I would say, A MUST WATCH for all Indians.

Culinary Skills

Off late my cooking skills seem to have come to light or rather seen the light of the day! For a long time had an inclination towards cooking and the previous week have learnt to - prepare a vegetable burger - cook vegetable pulav I should say, the inspiration for this was from the book You Don't Need A Godfather: Create your Own Success by Elango R. In this book read this concept of shared reading and i applied this to shared cooking and of course the wifey was very very happy I Say!

Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain

This is one of my favorite songs

Song : Diye Jalte Hain
Music : R D Burman
Lyrics : Anand Bakshi
Singer : Kishore Kumar



Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain, Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain
Badi Mushkil Se, Magar, Duniya Mein Dost, Milte Hain, Diye Jalte Hain

Jab Jis Waqt Kisi Ka, Pyar Juda Hota Hai, Kuchh Na Poochho, Yaron Dil Ka, Haal Bura Hota Hai,
Jab Jis Waqt Kisi Ka Pyar Juda Hota Hai, Kuchh Na Poonchho Yaron Dil Ka Haal Bura Hota Hai,
Dil Pe Yadon Ke Jaise, Teer Chalte Hain, Ahanha
Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain, Diye Jalte Hain

Is Rang Roop Pe Dekho, Hargiz Naaz Na Karna, Jaan Bhi Mange, Yaar To Dede Na, Naraz Na Karna,
Rang Ud Jate Hain, Dhoop Dhalte Hain, Hmhmhm
Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain, Diye Jalte Hain

Daulat Aur Jawani, Ek Din Kho Jaati Hain, Sach Kahta Hoon, Saari Duniya, Dushman Ho Jaati Hai,
Umr Bhar Dost Lekin Saath Chalte Hain Hmmhm
Diye Jalte Hain, Phool Khilte Hain, Badi Mushkil Se, Magar, Duniya Mein Dost Milte Hain
Diye Jalte Hain.
