Day 13978 to Day 14039

To begin with I crossed the 14000 days of a wonderful life! Isn’t that a good enough reason for me to be allowed a longer-than-usual sabbatical from blogging?
 
Thank you!

So let’s continue the “bulleted reporting” of my life and thoughts since then
  • IPL 6 eventually had Chennai vs. Mumbai and guess what Mumbai won the trophy (Anyone surprised??)
  • Cannon 600D found its way to my home/cupboard on Fathers Day.
  • Guess what, I banged my new car Ertiga’s door to a curb. Costed me 1200 INR and 15K INR to the insurance company to replace the door!
  • My organization had its 9th Town hall a week back. This time it was out and out “audience” role I played
  • Finished reading a book – “Asura” (autobiography of Raavan) and amidst an equally interesting one - “Oath of Vayuputra”!
  • Started a new screenplay/short story titled “Abduction” – Rashoman style of events of the day of kidnapping of Sita from 4 angles – Ram, Raavan, Sita and Lakshman
  • Joined PMI’s Campus Ambassador Program as a volunteer. Slow pace of start but hopefully will keep me engaged and excited because somewhere I believe in its cause
  • Talking of “cause” and ones I believe in – Education is one of them. Towards that - am super-excited as I am about to start a volunteer work of “upgrading the communication skills” of high school students in my wife’s school. One hour each Saturday for  40 so-weeks to get the “English-knowing-urban-students” in par with “English-speaking-urban-students” for a competition of the “equals” in the future!
 

And something that I promised in my last blog is still pending – What if my kids were also blogging. So you will see two additional sections on how my 7 year old and 4 year old would have blogged starting from my next one!!
