Wishing everyone a very happy new year 2016.
First time ever that I went to bed on a 31st night without a single drink. Irony struck the hotel in Dubai near Burj Khalifa as I kept watching the 63 storey building on fire as clock passed the midnight stroke. Shortly after at midnight Dubai time fireworks started from Burj Khalifa and was a wonderful sight.
The day was peaceful but the call at 11 shook me a bit. How rigid people sometimes can be and how uncooperative. Educated, cultured and evolved people behaving like this is strange. "Change" is the only constant in this world so why can't they adapt it. Use the women but show them they stand below. Force the women to their pleasure but do not please them. I wonder when things will change.
Was at home all through working a bit to prepare for my Monday meeting for the upcoming project. Going to be tough with 15 countries to manage at a point in time. Sadly enough my team is not fully ready yet to help me with and I need to spend a good amount of time to bring them up to speed.
End my day with this beautiful note that I received as a forwarded message:
Ahista chal zindagi, abhi kai karz chukana baaki hai.
Kuch dard mitana baaki hai, kuch farz nibhana baaki hai.
Raftaar mein tere chalne se kuchh rooth gaye, kuch chhut gaye.
Roothon ko manana baaki hai, roton ko hasana baki hai.
Kuch hasraatein abhi adhuri hain, kuch kaam bhi aur zaruri hai.
Khwahishen jo ghut gayi is dil mein, unko dafnana baki hai.
Kuch rishte ban kar toot gaye, kuch judte-judte chhut gaye.
Un tootte-chhutte rishton ke zakhmon ko mitana baki hai.
Tu aage chal main aata hoon, kya chhod tujhe ji paunga?
In saanson par haqq hai jinka, unko samjhaana baaki hai.
Aahista chal zindagi, abhi kai karz chukana baki hai...
Goodnight ... sleep well and take care
