Transitioning into new project …

Since a long time, I did not get time to put up a blog post but  have been twittering all this while on the internet with few updates on the progress on project and personal front ..

I am now moving into a different project within the same group. The role looks challenging and puts me into actual people management and hopefully would give me a chance to apply my own people / project management principles across the board.

Early days (rather weeks !) for me in here and still getting into the project and understanding the know-how’s. Good to know there are already capable people working on the project, but they need a little bit helping hand in streamlining the operations that hopefully I can provide in due course.

Unfortunately this project was perceived as an “untouchable” and “messy” project so looks like I have a big task on my hands to turn the tide ! I am very hopeful I could do it .. but lets wait for actual results over next few months !

Anyways, if you care a little, wish me luck by commenting on this blog post.

However if you are too lazy to leave a comment, just say “Best of luck” in your mind and it would reach me :-)

Heading to India … for good !

So finally within next couple of months my stay in the UK is coming to an end … …

aeroplane_cartoon Having stayed here for more or less best part of last 5 years, this had become my second home away from India !

London, where I stayed for all these years been a wonderful experience to say the least. Although not as vibrant as any Indian city (read Pune), London has its own aura about being one of the great cities in the world. 

Experiences have been mixed for us during all these years some being kind, welcoming  and wonderful whilst some being very cruel and unwelcome!

Some of the good things includes the friends I collected here in the UK that have helped me during all those years. The first school of my daughter and her early early education was really wonderful experience.

Anyways, now I would be looking forward to managing my journey back and reducing my footprint from the UK over next few weeks.

Really looking forward to live a great life back in India and in my own home, I bought 4 years ago but never stayed in !!!

Looking forward to the week ahead ..

Finally few decisions were made last week and we can look forward to lots of changes in coming weeks for us here in London! Much better than some uncertain life we were experiencing during past few weeks …

Now can look forward to weeks ahead with optimism in the personal life as well as corporate life. Hopefully things will only get better !

Anyways, quick review on the weekend matches. I though the United – Tottenham match showed exactly why we are the Champions of the world .. and I guess I would not be able to summarize it any better than what I facebook’ed immediately after the match ..

… what a stunning comeback from the champions today. I guess God has made football only for such matches.. Glory glory man united..

Waiting for the crunch Arsenal match now on Wednesday, hopefully Chelsea will be put in place by Barcelona by Tuesday and so as Arsenal by Wednesday.

Meanwhile, trying out few new applications on my Windows phone… will post the details about them later ..

A weekend of disappointing sports results for all of my teams .. !

Unfortunately all the teams I supported over the weekend lost!

First, I supported Adrian Sutil of Force India to bag first points of the season in the Chinese F1 race but unfortunately he lost the control of the car with about 6 laps to go… very very unfortunate for him and the Force India team.

Then, I supported Manchester United when they played out the semi final draw at Wembley with Everton FC. While we played with an inexperienced team with 4 teenagers and almost completely changed team from the one won at Porto, we still had good fire power for winning the game in the allocated time, leave alone the extra time & penalties. I thought we kind of lost out partly because of bad referring as well as some bad team selection and disappointing performances from few key players. But nevertheless, due where is due and Well done to Everton. I just wish now they actually win the FA cup. I might not be able to digest a Chelsea win there, honestly !

Then finally, I thought my luck will shine in Indian Premier League, where I supported Kolkata Knight riders to beat Deccan Chargers and guess what, we were whacked there as well ! And more over, just to rub salt on my wounds, my favourite player Sourav Ganguly, got out just for 1 off 12 balls !

Yesterday was really just too much for me to bear !
