The Sandman chronicles

There has been a gap in my posting! Not that i am a frequent blogger like the others, but even on my own standards, it was quite a big gap of time. I was Busy!! Plain Truth! I got a New Job, Moved to a New Place, and add to it the month of Ramadan. I joined Toshiba Corporation - Power Systems Division as Electrical Engineer on August 13th, 2007. On the very same day, i shifted with the whole lot of baggage to Ras Al Khaimah, a quaint Backwater City in the Northern portion of UAE. (Ras Al Khaimah is the Northern Most Emirate of United Arab Emirates). I am now the Electrical Enginer/In-Charge for a 400/132 kv Grid Substation Project for Transco in R.A.K. Now, I've got 'busy' in site. basically its all Civil Engineering Works that are on going, but it requires initial works from Electrical Dept. and Constant co-ordination. Post has been edited since, i was actually bitching about someone whom i dont like at all. Well, folks who work with me knows whos this person...so i leave ...

what title do i give it? Why I Write? Why Do I Write? I don’t Know! Why Do I Write? May be To Express My Self. I write the same way as I Speak. I Speak the same way as I think. So it's all direct from the heart and quite often spontaneous. I am not a master at stringing words like some of my friends who have a knack to line up words to express their feelings with the correct rhyming and all that poetry mumbo jumbo! I do wish that I could join some creative workshop and learn how to use words more appropriately, but then, I am too shy to show them my earlier written works – I am a closet writer and lyricist! So, what I felt about the partiality or sort of apartheid in the work place or society in the Middle East, especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi where I work, I wrote down these words. I don’t have any title for these words – I can't call it a poem because a poem must have all the poem mumbo jumbo like rhyming etc. So To all those who ever read these words, if you could come up ...

Why Me? There times this Guy used to cry! Why Me? Why Me? Why does it always happen to Me? He never saw the silver lining on the cloud's edge! All he saw was gloomy, black and dark! He never had friends, For no one wanted a whiner for a friend! He never fell in love, For the girls wanted all the flowery words! he never succeeded in his endeavors, For he never thought on the positive side! One fine day, This buddy of Ours! Decided its nough for him in this Big Bad World! He tried to end his life by hanging on a rope! But then, even Death didnt want him! But by the luck of the draw, Some sense tricled into his brain! he realised self pity was the greates of all vices! He shook all his leathargy off, He stood up and moved..and has never stopped ever since! And of course, He smiled, Made friends, Fell in love (many times!!), Climbs the Career ladder at ease, ever sure of himself! folks..that guy above..was me!

Earlier, I used to feel so lonley. I was basically an introvert, who as a child used to run and hide whenever guests came to my home! I used to find it difficult to introduce myself and talk with them. This stayed with me almost till my high school! But when i started my engineering college life in a place thats quite far away from my home, i had to interact with new people and make new friends - i had to change myself i had to get out off my shell i had to interact with people i had to lose the fear! and i did lose it. But making friends was always difficult for me. If i made a friend, it was for life. But i was not making many friends and those i have made are still friends. Then again i felt lonley! Then, as a rule of survival of the fittest - i had to evolve - make friends...go out and make the effort! I did! I got a lot of friends and my days are not so lonley!! i got a lot of pals through orkut - I had joined orkut just for the whim of it an i found that there was a communityt ca...
