You don’t work!

I just got into the Bangalore airport and was subject to “random checking”. The security at the airport has increased considerably! there are actual guards with actual guns and its a sure sign of precautions being taken because of the recent attacks!

So coming back to the story, the guard who stopped me, took my ticket and started asking my name and my age and where I am from and all that and then said what are you going to Bombay for? to which I replied, “I’m going on work!” and he looks at me and says to me, “No chance! you don’t work .. there is no way you work!”

After much debate, I told him, its true, I am a musician and that probably explains my long hair and “non work” attire! That satisfied his curiosity and as he let me go ahead after thoroughly going through the contents of my bag he said .. “The minute I saw you only I knew, you must be a musician or something, there is no way you do ‘work’”!

Little do they know!

I have never been this busy with my work in the office and this time round its for real! The work just never ends and so I am playing catch up with all that I have.

On other fronts, the British Council finally announced the award last week. Check it out! I am supposed to meet with them next week for some discussions and some interesting projects both of us have in mind

RadioVeRVe looks dormant to the world but there has never been so much action happening in the background as it is now … and the fruits of it will be seen very very soon! Don’t lose the faith yet

On the music front, the band is taking a well deserved break before we launch into tour mode again by the end of this month and from then on its going to be madness!!

So this phase of my life can be called ‘the calm before the storm’!

Work is where the heart is?

It is a wonderful day for an organization when anyone in the company can sit across the seniormost of management with a drink in hand and tell them things they think should change in the company!

Right from the focus on work instead of things like attendance and timing to things like this, Citrix has fostered a wonderful work culture and I am proud to be part of that!

There are a lot of things that need improvement but they’ve got some parts of it nailed down right!

Here’s to bigger and much better things!
