Living in dream!

Life is beautiful, and I am loving living it!!!

Whenever I say these words to myself, I understand that I am too happy!!!!
Morning 3.40! and it's not weekend.. Still I am not getting sleep. ;) Too
happy, too excited to go to bed! The ultimate sense of accomplishment!

It feels like living in dream. I wish, the time just stops here and I keep
living this moment forever. But time is time, and it has to fly.

It is almost an year now from last year, when I came to Hyderabad to make
this city finally a hometown. Probably Mom and Dad were the most happy
people when I decided to come down here and join TCS. The brand that is too
popular in their circle ;) By this time my dear sister already shifted to
Hyderabad leaving her career in Bangalore. She chose a flat and made it home
by decorating very piece of it, and also managed to get job, and then we
were happily settled family in the midst of family friends and relatives
(definitely away from my friends in MH)

Living life is, facing challenges, overcoming them, and making it a
experience. Sometimes it's sweet and sometimes it's sour. But, in all these
times when we are together as a family, when we have friends to support and
relatives to stand besides us, we cross every hurdle. And I too did. I feel
so blessed to have so many wonderful people around me. All of you are
Angels!

How last few weeks or months passed I did not even realize. It was in
January, when I realized that a complete year passed after I am back from
Singapore. I was back to stay with Family and had some ambitions to learn.
Professionally I did fine and kept learning, but it was not actually for
what I came back. I wanted to learn new things, boost my confidence and also
spend time with family. But I became lazy eating Mom's food accompanied by
Dad's pampering, and wasn't moving with the right pace. Hence I  joined
training institute to learn new technology, and I became busy. I just love
being busy (when somebody says I am busy, I remember one instance when my
previous company's Director introduced me as one of the busiest person).

My day would start early in morning at 6, and I would rush to attend the
class at Ameerpet, the training hub in Hyd. A morning bike ride, traveling
east and seeing sun rising in sky, was first fabulous scene every day. It
was more than 5 years, I had been to any classroom training. Back again in
training room, I loved attending the class, asked questions, converted
batch-mates to friends, exchanged notes and software, and took a glance of
what's happening around me in Hyderabad IT world, it was fascinating. Small
chats, some laughs, small intervals for morning breakfast were few moments
that made me feel light. After class, traveling back to home in day traffic
was painful. Looking at the L&T signboards throughout I would wonder how
long it would take to enjoy the first metro ride. Once at home I would
usually rush to get to office after completing the assignments. It's usually
after 9 in night when I would come back. Family talks and dinner follows,
followed by Maha Rana Pratap Singh.

It was one such late evening I happened to meet a wonderful person over
phone (who would become brother in law in coming days). I would remember the
conversation for rest of life. From the brief call to family meeting, and
then to gathering of two families took no time. I had planned leave to
celebrate Mom Dad's marriage anniversary on 21st Feb, but cancelled it to
accommodate new upcoming events. Grandmother was sick, so finalized the
dates of engagement and marriage which were too close. We did not had enough
time to make the arrangements, but relatives and friends made it possible
for successful organization of events. I did not invite close friends too as
I did not get time. Really! Too many tasks without leaves at office. I even
did not get time to do my own shopping for only sisters marriage. Hope you
now understand that I had too many things to manage on short notice :)

Finally the day 19th March 2014 came and went. All I remember is my sisters
smile throughout the marriage, and the happiness that I felt from it. Arun,
The Bava, new member in the family. Family is now more complete. I feel
again blessed.

It feels like living in dream. I wish, the time just stops here and I keep
living this moment forever. But time is time, and it has to fly.

I now have to take up new challenges, throw myself into another unknown
world, to push myself further and discover new limits. Yes, it is the time
to move on. Before that, let's enjoy this time.. and I wish this happiness
stays with us forever!!

Om Namah Shivay!!!
