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

Poem on Mars

 Happy New Year! I wanted to post a poem I composed on seeing the perseverance land on Mars along with the success of Amal and Tianwen-1 probes Ground in white and flames of gold, Once you leave earth, you will know The dream of flight, passionately bold. The dream of stars, dreams of Titan’s snow Red in blood, to red in dust, Grit in ink, standing on Newtonian shoulder Born a child's laughter, now a mother’s trust Our will - this, to fly to our next boulder Once you leave earth, you will know The cost of blue, the music in brown Green are the pastures, only the sheep to mow Empty our docks, no ships to drown Gaze towards the sky, you'll know And rage against our prison, our astral dome We will our lightning. We must go. For in our heart, adventures are home.

An Ode to my flights in Virginia

In the Shenandoah mountains, high above the trees  A drone soars and flies with the greatest of ease  Its propellers spin, lifting it up to the sky  As it dances and glides, so graceful and nigh The mountains stretch out below, a tapestry of green  The drone's camera captures the beauty unseen  It flies over valleys and streams, and dips and turns  The landscape below, forever it yearns As the sun sets low in the western sky  The drone returns home, no longer to fly  But the memories remain, of its journey so grand In the Shenandoah mountains, with the drone in hand The drone is a marvel, a feat of technology  A machine that defies gravity  It can go where no man can go  To the highest peak, or the deepest canyon below The Shenandoah mountains are a wonder to see  From the air, they seem to go on endlessly  The drone captures it all, the rolling hills and the rocky cliffs  A true masterpiece, a natural rift As the lig...
