And after many many years......

And after many many many years.....the 'brat' returns to the workshop amidst seriously hectic work schedule, stressful chores and some fruitful trips. I was planning on to update my blog since ages. I know ..i know...there is not much of a history to this blog that i can say ages. I've realized one thing, it is not easy to run a blog as it is to start one. Though i knew this from the very beginning, i assumed i'd never fall for that. Overconfidence, I guess. Actually, it is not tough to write but it is tough to get the initiative and pen it down or rather should i say key it in? To add fuel to the fire, along came a few weekend trips, some long workdays and a looooong awaited India trip, my blog took the backseat. Once i came back it seemed that my boss was having his revenge on me for the two weeks he let me off. I was made to work for 12 hrs a day straight for a week. For a moment i felt like i understood what my friends in IT companies complain all the time. Poor souls.. sometimes have to work on weekends too. I'm glad that there is no weekend work policy here in US.
For those of you guys who do not know, i was in India for two weeks in the last week of August.
India trip definitely filled new energy in me in spite of exhaustive two weeks i spent over there. There wasn't a moment i leisurely sat down and thought ' ahaaa...this is the moment!'. I was at the beach, my favorite place, only to meet up with some friend and only used it as a get together point to go elsewhere. So moral of the story....I definitely need more holidays.
India trip was a success in its own sense. After you spend time with your family and friends,attend a close buddy's marriage, a cousin's flash engagement, drive a bike which you are passionate about, and most of all get a positive break in some high priority issue that you have been pushing aside, can't you call that a successful trip?
On looking back at the trip, I'm glad that i met some old friends after years, sorry that i still could not meet some, thankful that there was some'one' to run along with me, angry that it had to be over in such a short time and extremely frustrated at my painstaking journey. it would take up a whole new post to give details about the memorable travel experiences. I think i should feel good that at least the trip was worth the screwed up-travel.
A special thanks to my bro for having let me drive his priced possession, 'Royal Enfield Thunderbird' which he bought it all the way from B'lore to Vizag just for my driving pleasure. It was awesome experience to drive a bike that powerful. A ride on that beast simply pumps that positive energy in you showing as a gleam in your eyes and contentment on your face. You simply have to ride it to 'feel' it.
Well...that's it. My only point in today's posting was to let people know that I'm still in the rat race.I'm back. I hope that i can keep this tempo up and keep my readers updated. There are still lot of experiences to share. Watch out for them.
Now i can have a peaceful sleep. Good night everyone.

P.s: No, I will not have maggi three times a day.

Feeling like you kinda motivating me to continue my blog (stopped posting long back).

One thing that struck my mind all the while reading your post is -- whats the "positive break in some high priority issue". Clarify this before my imagination gets to work.

Good work. Keep blogging!!
