Well, I am here on the blog after almost 2 full months. A lot of has happened in these 2 months, let us see what all I could remember.
- Closed a deal for consulting with a Device company, whom I met during DIA
- Followed up with people met during CalAsia and DIA.
- Left for India on July 14th with family.
- In Nagpur until 26th July - Very busy with family, Harrier, Nagpur First and getting dental and medical tests.
+ Got dental work done for all, Blood tests done for Shubhra and self. Shubhra's Cholesterol is fairly high and Hemoglobin quite low. In my case my Sugar is pretty high both fasting and post meal. Hence we need to take care.
+ Abhay, PK's younger borther died in unexpected circumstances and police made it a case of suicide. This unfortuante incident took two full days for completing all last rites etc and also consoling PK and his family.
+ Had great progress on Nagpur First front. The press conference we held on July 24th precipitated permanency of the venture. More details on it later.
+ Also met with Harrier team and its sales team. Conducted Board meeting and other general meetings with Amit.
+ Visited VNIT twice once to meet Director Gokhale and on July 25th to address the Commencement of incoming class of 2009 and their parents.
+ Organized and had a gala time during the Silver Jubilee Reunion of Nagpur MBA Graduates of 1984. 17 Students and 2 teachers and their family attended the function at Hotel Center Point. It was fund time and also got well connected with so many people, with most after 25 years.
+ Visited Pusla Jain temple and did Puja there along with the Jains of the town. Also had a felicitation function there and I addressed the gathering including sharing my Impossible promise with them.
+ Spoke at a Jain Pathshala (Religious class) of kids and their parents on 21st. The best thing there was I connected with Kids very well and another one was that Ma was present to see all my felicitations and honor. In fact she got felicitated too, besides Shubhra.
Later I visited Delhi and Mumbai for business. Then Jabalpur for 4 days, came back to Nagpur for Rakhi - the first one after Babuji's departure and then visited Bhopal, Sagar and Khurai, before returning to the US on 12th with a day's stop at Mumbai with Arvind Iyer family. Details of this latter portion in the next post.
Now I am writing this on the third day of Paryushan (as per Digambar tradition) and today is Uttam Arjav day. That means I must follow the Simplicity (Straightforwardness) in toto.
The quote which have been with me for last one week is "When your shadow becomes longer than you, you must sense that Sunset is not far." What I have learnt with that is 'I must do more than I talk or talk about'.
