This friendship is very special
for you remind me of a vast blue sky,
delighful, empathetical, Lovable and free,
that’s there for this world to see
I wish I could gift you rainbow
along with the white snow;
the one colour missing from the bow,
and would shield you from the cold winds that blow...
I gift this to you
with a special thank you
for you have been there for me
to guide and motivate when the need be
For you know my sweetheart
You are a sweet little friend I care about
Your affection and love knows no bound
Sweetheart your friendship is worth any pound

These days
Its been three years since I left the most interesting phase in my life – working with ACES and the kind of fun I had, has never been surpassed till this day. Fun at work is always the mantra to gather momentum on work and to work endlessly without realizing that the brain has ceased to work.
From the forgettable SunGard, India job which I favored to an Airline Business Consultant job with Mercator in Dubai, to the shallow job in a global bank where I could not synch (sink) myself in which the repugnant job of recording 8 hours of work per day in to the timesheets was honestly the only work I did in a week, I was banking on a non-banking job. Not many would take it as an avenue to complain as something is being given for free and that too with a solicitation to work in another country. I was roped into this MN Bank for working on projects and for representing my team to the client. True but shameful, I never knew who the clients were till days before I left the job. I know this is an apologetic throat clearing but that’s the uncelebrated fact I would gleefully accept any day.
History repeats itself. It did but with a different unit of SunGard and this time in Singapore. Destined to work with the pre-sales force, I garner myself to become one of the most revered professionals which I always wanted to be. An astute and a thorough professional is what I wanted to become. That is where I end up after the long wait. I would proudly say I am working and working to compensate for all the unsolicited huge pay cheques I had received before. Working 18-22 hours a day make me forget all those days. Memories will still linger and I take it as an inspiration to move on further and work even harder.
An embargo to personal life is what I had destined myself for I have had more to personal life in the last few years than to my career. But there had to be a drain in every belief and activity. There had been some excruciating moments in the past few months that understanding each other has been the course and way of life for me. The lesson learnt no matter how good and true you are, all the accumulation of hatred and grudge against you will overwhelm the charisma. For me, it will never penetrate to my fist sized heart but I would be very careful in choosing fiends (oops friends). I always had my roomie by my side, no matter what I did but the other best thing that has happened to me in the last six – seven months is the gain of a true friend – a sweet little gal – (kiddo as I call her ).
Sumptuous life is the way I have been in Singapore – Extravagant in terms of energy. This is an addendum to the richness in ruthless spending. Money always takes a secondary spot and living for the moment always spurred me on to this ruthlessness.
These days I am restricted to understand what I am doing with money.
There have been several first times to everything these days. I used to be a happy go-lucky guy earlier not caring about what ever happens, I was always with a smile. There is a slight change to that these days. May be that’s what we call a mature head or I am being tamed to become one.
I am trying to analyze whether this could be due to the heavy workload I have taken on myself and becoming emotionally weak as sometimes when I am really tired I have no one around to tap my head to make me sleep. Could be that…miss you mom or perhaps prayed too much to god. These days I am very careful about choosing my words when I pray. Earlier, I prayed to choose but these days I choose to pray.
