Roshan

is already giving us a taste of the helplessness that will be our new normal as parents: taking his own sweet time for his debut and overwhelming us with the anticipation.

Take it easy, little one :) The world will wait!

Timing

Lesson for the day: leave the company before your godfather does.

Home

The Little Red Dot is now formally home.
Majulah Singapura!

Confluence

An interesting day.
I was hosting a recruitment talk on behalf of my firm at a business school.
On the same day, my wife got on to the admissions waiting list for the same school.
My brother got an offer from my firm.

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.
