I am back now. I have been really tied up with a lot of things in life, not that anyone would bother,but yes, i need to get back to my silly old ways to write again. Anyways, the update is that I am in India now for a short sweet holiday due to my visa change process. I am joining another firm in Bahrain , a competitor and am pretty happy about it. 

I am leaving during the last week of August for another long hiatus, so to speak. It has been really good going so far and hope better days ahead. 

Cheers!

I feel that a decision in life can sometimes be so much of a blessing. My last relationship was never really a relationship. But, thanks to my partner, we somehow managed to pull it through for 14 months. Out of those 14 months, we were living apart for almost half the duration. We were always arguing while we were apart, yelling, saying horrible things to each other which does not didn’t do any good. Anyways,  I am glad that I have moved on and what it seems like, I presume she has as well.  

It is always better not to leave any grudges behind and we should not let it fester. Who knows, we may cross paths again.

 When I was in India in January, I very nearly did. I crossed her house and had to meet someone dangerously close to her house. In fact, it was the very same block, which would have been approximately 5 minutes walk to her house.

Hope all is well with her and her life is moving on just fine.

 

Cheers!

I am beginning to totally stagnate in this organization I work for.  These guys have never, I repeat, never have ever paid our salaries on time. I have been politely and politically been requested to achieve a target of  265000 US$ by the end of March. They have given me a letter which states if I don’t achieve the said target, in all probabilities I would be asked to pack my bags and head back to India. They are about 20 of us who have been handed the letter. Their fucking excuse is the recession. The good news however is that I have already achieved 80000 of the 265000 and I have 7 weeks at my disposal.

I think it is totally ridiculous. Firstly, they never fucking pay on time and then they expect us to achieve targets beyond our wildest imaginations. I have started to look out for other options in the Middle East, probably in the United Arab Emirates. My first cousin lives there and it would be nice to have some family close by.

Anyways, all I am saying is I am totally out of sorts now and feel like heading to a bar and getting drunk. Guess what, I can’t even do that. They haven’t even paid us until now.

Wish me luck friends.

 

Laters….

I came back last week from my vacation to India. Landed in Delhi  en route to Calcutta. It was a fun trip. My family from the U.K. , U.AE. were visiting as well. Delhi was nice . Met up with friends after a year. Calcutta is always nice with family.

Hope all is well with everyone and hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year

I have finally bring myself to have the feeling of love again, which is more than a welcome change. I never imagined this would happen, but to God’s grace and my perseverance, it has resulted in me feeling beautiful and wanted. She lioves in South Africa. I enjoy her emails and moreover , we really enjoy speaking to each other. We are planning to meet. Though It is a difficult proposition , but I hope we can overcome the nuances and meet soon.

More,  as it progresses.

As you all may be aware, I live in the middle east now but originally belong to India. This is the first time I am experiencing a life which I have  never lived before. For one whole month, all the pubs, the liquor shops are closed. You cannot even eat in public until the fasting is over. This is a first time for me.

 

Has anybody been through this ?

I really don’t know what it is about marriage. Currently in work place, there are three divorce proceedings in progress. This one guy actually got thrown out of his house by his wife. Obviously he does not have a place of his own, so he crashed at my house last night. He has been seeing this girl from the office and they plan to get hitched pretty soon. What I don’t understand is , how can one get hitched if they are already married. I mean , get a divorce and then re-marry. To top it all, he has a cute 4 year old daughter. I really do not know where and when all this is going to end.

I am 32 years old and now watching marriages breaking up in my office and one in India, I am reluctant to tie the knot.

Any suggestions ???
