Back to Sanity !!

The frenetic activity happening in my life over the past couple of months or so have been crazy. The only word that describes it perfectly is 'Insanity'.

It all started with a stupid Govt official rejecting forms which were certified by the Indian embassy at South Africa as being true copies. But our 'Mr Do not teach me to do my job' at the Ministry of Corporate affairs shot the application down as he were rejecting Dawood Ebrahim from setting up an arms factory in India!! That was just the start of the long process of reapplying all over again. The application once again travelled the length and breadth of the Indian Ocean to come back to me only last week in China. From there they travelled back with me to the Middle East and back home to India. Now they are lying on the table of 'Mr Do not......'in Delhi. He is sure lucky to have papers that have travelled 3 continents to be on his table in his dingy office in Delhi. I bet the bugger has not travelled past the NCR region all his life.

The Stock markets in this period have been acting completely crazy! Please do not take this as whining. I made some money and lost some more with all the uncertainty over who is going to come to Power in Delhi. Every morning i would wake up and tell myself today i am going to initiate the correct trades.. and every evening at 3.30 pm i would be an enlightened man.. The movements in the market have their own funny ways.. 8 times out of 10 i called the market wrong and hence ended up loosing some money. But hey as a wise man once said ' You win some you loose some ' ( psst...the wise man who said this also happens to have written my previous blogs) This culminated in the most shocking but positively surprising 2 mins of trade in which the sensex rose by 20% and thereafter ceased trading!! Holy shit who would have imagined the markets going up by 2099 points on a single trading day... Phew . At least now there is a firm bottom in place and i know NOW how am i going to trade these markets!! Some sanity coming back ...

On the personal front it has been a roller coaster ride.. Marriage has been treating me pretty alright. Anu and i have been getting used to waking up next to each other every morning. All the small little things that we have shared in the past 6 months since marriage have only made us understand each other better.. Sharing a meal at a small restaurant,catching up on a movie in a small lil theatre, gulping down beers never seemed so exciting as it does now..

Maa & Dad have started spending more time with us here in Mumbai.. l these years that i was away we kind of lost 'connect' if you know what i mean.. i was too busy to ever understand their needs in the last 6-7 years that i have been away from home. Now it is much better, working for a start up now gives me some additional time that i can spend with them and understand them much better. Come August when the operations start i will be back to my old ways... So til then i am going to enjoy every moment spent with them.
New bonds made, some old ones forgotten. Who knows what the future has in store?

Till then , peace within!
