Leaving Patna

Leaving Patna after a gap of 66 days on 8th august . It seems it was one of the longest continuous stay at Patna since 1997  , not even crossed ganga bridge forget about out of the state. The hallmark of this stay will be always remembered for quality and quantity time with amma,beenu and naina and some very close relatives and friends . Heavy rains on some day made water logging in front of house but everything was just fine. Another feature of this stay was regular golf and morning and evening yoga with no non veg food since 30th April. During this period tried to make naina understand lot of things and she started reciprocating and seeing the points . Beenu also started going to yoga classes and liking it . This slow pace of life was only possible due to voluntary sabbatical since 1st July 2016 . Initially I thought that I will back to work from 1st July 2017 but it automatically got extended with good going at Patna .
Now like all good phases of life it seems this phase also coming to an end. Leaving today for Delhi and most likely during this trip finalize my association and will return to active work by September.my intuition says that another hectic phase is in offing . Let us see how things moves forward.
During this phase surprisingly on skgm front things moves forward and all credit goes to mamuji and also ashok ji and Vicky ji.
There were some troubling moments but it did not made any dent.
The sabbatical phase also seen several family trips , started with deoghar, then dwarka , then Varanasi ,Hyderabad ,tirumala,delhi, rusho get together Delhi , narendra ji son reception Delhi,navodit birthday Delhi , neha marriage Calcutta,Amma visited Ranchi and Delhi.
My solo visit to central america,us and Canada, garhwal 2016 , ramgarh 2017 and Allahabad marriage and finally to rishikesh in may 2017 .
Govind also shifted to patligram, lot of work is still unfinished but it seems they are happy . Ghataro repair work also completed during this period .

Overall a fantastic period for taking stock of situation on all front before moving for next call.
This period also marked June and July as the most disciplined month of my life .

2024 Reflections: A Pause Year

Image
🌟 The last day of 2024 feels like the perfect moment to pause and reflect on what has been an unexpected and transformative year. As I look back, I vividly remember the final week of 2023, entering 2024 with moderate enthusiasm and a sense of steady anticipation. However, the year unraveled in ways I could not have predicted, bringing challenges on professional, personal, and familial fronts from the very first week of January.  🎒 The year unfolded as a mixed bag of deep experiences and travel. There were highlights, including one international trip, three visits to Goa, several visits to Delhi, and journeys to Uttarakhand and Sikkim. Yet, these moments of travel and exploration contrasted with an overarching sense of internal reflection and reconciliation. 🛑 2024 became a "Pause Year" for me—a time of slowing down, both physically and mentally, to prepare for the next decade of life. It was a year marked by introspection, as I grappled with errors, unmet expectations, ...

Don't Criticize Past, Learn from it and Build on it

These days media and particularly digital/social media are full of past references to almost every aspect of life in India. Be it the development of country, culture, religion,poverty alleviation,politics, external affairs , India-China relations, India-Pakistan relations, you name it any and there is backlash. It seems that after independence only after 2014 India has moved. There are propaganda like 6 years versus 60 years etc. There are clear goal of these propaganda but a sizable number of educated people with understanding of the situation has also become part of this brigade to denounce our past. They become critical individually as well. Why this is happening ? and why people without thinking too much become part of this propaganda machinery  and started criticizing the earlier periods since independence . One thing is very clear that they don't have any interest in going to the details and become part of the crowd and to some extent hypnotized by the daily doses of such new...
