India Trip -The Beginning...

I am on my way to my home country 4th time since I left my beloved India in Oct. 2009. 

Everytime I had different reason to revisit my homeland .e.g To see parents, family function, relaxing.

Everytime before this I was a student and was received by friends and society as a Student. Though there was ofcourse a gosip. What Sasane Mama's Son is doing in Germany. Sasane Mama(my dad) is working hard day and night and his  son is NOT sharing responsibility. To be honest I was feeling the same when I use to meet him personally. He indeed is a awesome dad who never made me realised that there are some problems whatever they may be....Nahhh .. this is not going to positive way. Lets break ...

Now I am going to India as a researcher  and will visit multiple schools, engineering colleges , companies and will speak with students. I will share with them my experience and my understanding of brand 'Made in Germany'. 

Now I am going to India as marketing guy of my company AiM (www.active-integration.de) where I intend to travel 2500 KM by road and do marketing of my company. 

Now I am going to India as socially conscious young researcher and will try to meet achievers n performers from every field. e.g Justice A. R. Joshi, Mumbai High Court, Addl. Commissionar of  Police  Vishwas Nangre Patil , Ma. Sindhutai Sapkal, Prof. Dashrath Sagre n Mr. Ajinkya Sagre ( President and vice president of  Sagre technical Institute), Dr. Tapan Gandhi (Project coordinator of Project Prakash ), Dr. Mukund  Joglekar (HIS achievments he prefer , better kept secret) , Maithili Tambolkar (young Industrialist) , Mr. Ramdas Kakade (Industrialist) , Mr. Akash Dadhania (Young Industrialist from Gujrat), Paresh J. M. (Social worker (He would hate if he reads that I mentioned him so... ), was working with UNESCO for past couple of years.) , A great social activist and spirutialist His Holyness of Dera Sachha Sauda (I hope , I could personally see him.

Me Workaholic ... Really ?? Am I ??

Am I workaholic ??

This is NOT how my daily office table looks like. Photographer in me changed objects, cleaned table, changed desktop background
to make it look like well organized Doctoral Student.

Last two days I have been suffering from throat infection. And was not able to concentrate fully on work. Well my day is starting so to say regularly 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM , I am mentally fresh but still I am not able to work fully. Reason : Well you need energetic body along with energetic mind to do some productive work. Yesterday, like 5 hours before I was totally down in the energy had my dinner soup in half sleep and was wishing to wake up at 6:00 or 8:00 AM. Then I slept at lets say 9:30 or 10 and in the night I woke up thinking that its regular wake up signal triggered by my brain. I checked the clock and it was 11:30 PM ... Waittt... Excuse me !! Now how the heck did that happen ? Body was NOT still in the mood of working though but mind was. It got motivated by reading extremely positive response from ExProf who is helping me now just because he is kind person. I decided to come office with with warmest possible cloths and planned to sleep if I was sleepy. 

While planning this I was thinking of updating status on FB something like "Celebrating halloween my way in office at 12:00 Midnight.. Am I workaholic ? " Or " I just need to buy sleeping bag for myself which will make my status message 'Working from home ' and 'Working in office' technically the SAME. " 

Since I couldn't converge on one, I thought of writing everything down detail in a my second iblogg. ;-)

Don't Angry Me !!

It was normal working day for me. Started as usual at 4:00 AM. Worked whole day more or less as per plan. Ahh jaa... Its badminton day today. I called my badminton partner around 17h and decided to go together to badminton hall. My iPhone was with me but not ofcourse during game. So there was no way I could see any phone, mails or messages.
After the game, in changing room when I checked my mobile I saw strange mail, one of the master student wrote me personal mail and asked whether I took his book from the office just because I have access to the room where he is seating. Come on !! Are you kidding me. It was not at all cool. But I controlled my emotions. Went back to office and then to this room where I found his friend working. I politely informed him that I have nothing to do with this book and requested him to inform this student. Then I came back to my office wrote official reply to his mail. As soon as I sent my polite reply. Somebody suddenly rushed in my office. It was the same guy not in good mood (Well, I completely understand this). He asked me about this book in raised voice , even after his friend informed him that the book is not with me. I started to loose my temper. But was still in control.
(Thanks to meditation practice). Then in the same voice he started that you are NOT receiving my call, I have been to your office and you were NOT there. Excuse me !!! Its my mobile and it is for my convenience and not his... Then I requested him first lower the voice and go out of my office but he tested my patience to the limit ... And then boooommmm .. I proved that I am NOT buddhas. I raised the voice used all possible 'f ' words and hold his shirt and dragged him out of my office. Took him to his friend and was discussing with his friend ... then all possible arguments were there... but I told his friend that I am NOT interested in talking now because this guy is NOT in mood of discussion he is arguing always...
Now while writing this blog I justify my behaviour with following point...

1.  Even if I have access to the room he is seating he shall have wrote to the group mail and NOT personal mail.
2. He should have discussed the points in lower voice.
3. He should have knocked my office door before entering the office.
4.  He should know that I am PhD student and he is master student and I need NOT to inform him if I use his room
5.  He should have not blamed me for not being in my home and/or not receiving my personal phone.

Even if all above mentioned points are in favour of my behaviour, I now regret my action :( 
(Afterwards, I have apologized for my behaviour in group mail without forgetting to condemn his unprofessional misbehaviour !)
..but then I convinced myself that it was "your reactive response to this person's misbehaviour".

I do like Gandhi and his thoughts but once in a while you should also have to be NON-Gandhian.
