and i'm back again! this must have been the longest time i've been away! and even i never thought i would ever come back. but then i guess i was missing seeing my own posts out there! i'm such a narcissist! :P
there have been some big changes in my life... actually, big would be an under-statement.
for starters, i have changed jobs! and when you change jobs, or take up a real job after 15 years of doing your own thing, it is big thing! and especially when you have taken up a job which you have never done in your life and is not exactly your area of 'expertise'!
and because of this job, we've all moved out of mumbai! again, a not-so-small change, when you consider the fact that i was in mumbai for over 23 years! and the big boss has been there for even longer!
so we're now in bangalore... and its a whirlwind affair of school admissions, house hunting, maid hunting, furniture hunting, finding your way around, meeting people... its almost like starting life all over again!
the kids are having a gala time... we're finding new eating joints, shopping malls, complexes with swimming pools, and TELEVISION!!!
we're temporarily staying at a dear friend's place. he stays at this place only for a few days each week. ever since our brood moved in here, the tv set has been used for more hours than he ever used it over the last 5 years that he has been here!!!
p.s. every morning when i slip on my shoes, i miss the shoe-shine boys of mumbai!

wishing you strength and the adaptability and adjustment needed!
lots of love from London, where Spring has just arrived, let alone Summer! we have a "hung-parliament" with the highest voter turnout in years, and as the football season ends, we see how England may fare in the World Cup!

all the best for your stay in bangalore. as i read ur blog I am planning my farewell from bangalore after a 4 yr stop. life keeps on dealing new cards we keep playing it
Dear Guru
I read your blog almost regularly but do not react. I find this change in your life affecting me also. Because I remember when you left for Jamshedpur for your further education in HRD, I had strongly missed you. Because at that time we were working so closely for CM. This time your leaving for Bangalore gives me a feeling that part of me has gone far away from me. Prabably because internally you have been extremely close to me.
My best wishes to you in Bangalore for a new job, new life and everything. Pl keep in touch and dont forget your Chinmaya Bandhu.
Lots of love to Nirupama and kids

Hari Om GP,
I recently heard that you have shifted to Bangalore. You are going to be missed. I will be moving back to Mumbai in 2 months for good and was looking forward to seeing you. Wanted to be involved more in mission work and was going to consult you, asking if there is any project or work that I can help with. I am keen on that. Here in Singapore am involved with chyk coordination with nishitaji and also some other mission things. I wish you and family all the best.
I like reading your blogs. Keep them coming. Will send you a mail when I return to Mumbai. Will you be OK with passing me your latest phone number.
Hari Om
