First desire, then deserve. Completely opposite from the famous saying. But this is what I believe, I this is what I have tried and found true. Many things you dont deserve at some point of time. But once you desire you start working towards your goal. And one day you achieve it. It goes without saying that because you deserve it that's why you achieve it.

Being 26th January as holiday, I stayed at home. I did some home cleaning work which was supposed to do on holiday.

In the evening, I have to go to Rajeev Chawk to see Pranav. It's exactly between Noida and Malviya Nagar. Metro train has become the easiest way to travel in Delhi. It's similar to local train in Mumbai where people rush to catch their trains, specially at the time of going to office and coming back. In the same way, people rush to catch metro train in Delhi at office time. Some times there is no space left in the metro to accommodate all the people standing on the platform. Then, they are left to wait for another metro train. Government is contemplating on this issue and is going to increase the number of boggies.

Unfortunately, I could not go to meet Pranav. Sometimes, office becomes the most important thing in your life.. more than anything else. My office needed me to work till late, making me unable to meet him.

No prob.. maybe on Saturday or Sunday.

When somebody recognizes that I have created a good design, especially when that person is my boss, I feel good. But sadly, I need this feeling from time to time in order to work properly.

It was a good day today. Tomorrow is republic day, so it is supposed to be holiday. Although I will have to go to office for half an hour.

Last Diwali (2010), I was in Delhi. It was good. A picture taken on that day is being posted here.

One more good news - Pranav's 1st semester result is out. He has been declared top in his class. I distributed sweets among my friends, who I stay with. But I am yet to meet him and to offer him sweets for his success. I am very happy.

One year ago, on 22nd January 2010, while in Delhi for Ode to Earth exhibition, I had decided that from now on I will stay in Delhi. Although it took another four months before I finally came here. But since then I have been here. Life has become more difficult that what it was in Jaipur.

But one has to face the challenges when one wants to move ahead in life. That came to me in form of struggling, which I did not have to do while in Jaipur. And more, Delhi has a different temperament. So, I had to learn what people actually mean when they utter something. Being from a small town makes one's life difficult when one wants to settle in a metro.

Being jobless for a long period can never be good experience for anybody. I was not different. And I felt so irritated, hopeless and sometimes depressed that it was very difficult to maintain my cool. It took a long time before I got a project with Raw Mango. I really feel grateful to Mr Sanjay Garg. Although in any professional relation, both the party get benefited, but it was me who felt relief and gratitude.
Later, I got a job at CFM. But it did not last long. Finally, in January 2011, I got myself placed at Raw Mango again. And again I am grateful to him.
