Indicator

A rather accurate indicator of how routine work has become - the amount of time I spend on mindless internet surfing; same few websites in reflexive order: cnn, channelnewsasia, cricinfo, facebook, gmail, linkedin... with no objective or interest.

Time for a change. A toast to 10 years.

Lazy

I have this feeling that I am naturally lazy. I am probably not one of those super-charged Energizer bunny rabbit types. If there is an obstacle to my momentum, more often than not, I willingly take it. Most people do, I guess. It is just that, right now, my work is filled with exceptions to that rule.

Thirty two

It's here. I feel neither older nor wiser, but happier.
This is not as dramatic as the 30, but this one is special for what lies ahead.
I will be a father in a few weeks, and they say that changes life more than anything ever will. For both of us.
I have made a simple resolution today that this is also the right time to let another idea germinate. For which I will allow nine months. For by then, it will be two years. And, the symbolism matters.
Family. Happiness. Balance.

- The stay-honest letter from myself.
- The get-real conversation with Kaushik.
- The special weekend at the Mandarin Oriental.
- The stirring speech from Ploy at her farewell dinner.

Now, I am all set.
