Resurgence of the blog

So I stopped blogging once I moved out of NESA and to the central offices of Airtel in Gurgaon. Turns out, it was not a good move. Now, finally, after 5 years, I am restarting this blog all over again.

Let me see if I can recap my past experiences, including parts of NESA and other crap that I pulled through.

  • Traveled the remote reaches of Arunachal Pradesh in Eastern Himalayas. Did Tawang, Bomdi-la, Dirang, Along, Pasighat. I met a lot of people, enjoyed snows and wonders of a different kind.
  • Traveled solo in the inner reaches of Sibsagar, Assam, and the ruins of the ancient Ahom empire.
  • Walked the oilfields of Digboi, stood at the easternmost railway stations of Tinsukia.
  • The mega party of Kohima's Hornbill festival. Got drunk, ate Bats, Squirrels, Deer, Honey Bees, Silkworms, and other things that I no longer remember.
  • Fought with my HR and got a transfer to Gurgaon
  • Made new friends in Gurgaon. Created a new household. Reconnected with a lot of civilization. 
  • Finally got the Telecom work roaring. Suddenly went into a hyper driver of performance - doing and building stuff, getting scolded by friends and family alike.
  • Bid adieu to friends who started to depart to build better lives in the United States
  • Crashed and destroyed my Spine in multiple places. In other words - learned how to paraglide.
  • Cried, laughed, embraced fury empathy and joy. Lived, let lived, died, broke, and remade. That's been a hell of a ride.
  • Started a new phase at Airtel. Worked on projects of great magnitude. Obtained the bucket seat to the great Telecom rivalry story of 20th Century. Went toe to toe with some of the best technology people in my space and ended up improving upon it. 
  • Finally learned how to lead. And led my first set of folks.
  • Changed heart and ended up studying MBA at Darden

  • Belonged

Backpacking across upper Assam: Part 2/3

Hi I am the normal(ish) 21 year old engineer in Guwahati, Assam. And this the second part of my journey. thank you for making it this far. My journey veered towards Sibsagar , the ancient capital of Ahom Empire and the pot purri of Assamese culture. It is a very unassuming city, which to reach I took a window seat on a traveler. And then Mr. Murphy cared to weigh in, streaming a flock of children into the cramped traveler, much to the delight of goddess of misery, though I dare not complain, for obviously, people who hate children are categorized same as people who love children in a manner that Vladimir Nabokov would describe as natural. Yet this observation is not about my trials, though I will have more, because I found that even in this far of land, the gangrene of tetris loaded Gameboy exists. Even the sound is nostalgic. The place is quite quiet and I arrived and ran into my host family’s patriarch, who did not understand half of what I was saying, but given Mr. Ki...
