Alright now.. after a month and a half, I’m back on here. Those who have read my last post were probably expecting me to continue the discussion I promised, but since I have not been able to do so for more than a month, I have decided to drop the topic for now. Have had a mixed experience of happy and sad feelings during this time, and I’m here to share it with those who already know about most of it.. and those who hardly know anything..!

A very close friend lost both his parents in a car accident back home. His parents were like my own family members to me. Worse still is the fact that I haven’t been able to speak to him in the last month. I don’t even know where he is staying right now. So the loss of these family members close to my heart has been a cloud over my thoughts during the last so many weeks.

After every tragedy in life.. we go out looking for some happiness (or what some may call cheap thrills) in life to compensate for the our loss. But unfortunately, nothing can compensate for a loss of this quantum. A new job.. of a type you want would probably be considered by most as an achievement. But compared to such a loss, they are no more than a cheap thrill.

My new job will be with State Rail Authority. It’s still nowhere near my dream job (Air Force), but I guess it’s a step close to my dreams than my current job. I’ll be starting that job on 17th of November. I will be involved in three months of training and then two months of probation. This is going to delay my next visit to India till at least late next year. But o well, I guess that’s for a good reason as well.. because the pressure from my parents for marriage increases every time I visit India.

Well, this is it for today. Tomorrow is Diwali. So gotta go ‘n plan something for tomorrow with friends and family. Hope all of you have a great diwali. Bye now...!
