How does this अवतार (avatar) look on me??

'Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed Babloo Saheb' - is the avatar worn by me as - I need to lead important initiatives (hence Saheb word as part of full alias and Babloojee as short name for showing respect this position carries). Babloo being a childlike name indicates challenge my soul faces to work as formal leader. Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed indicates the inspiration I take from गिल्हेरी (Gil heri) that is simply our cute friend squirrel! (S)he is very alert before jumping from the heights (thus bright eyed) and though she does not know the depth ahead, (s)he knows that her/his bushy tail will act as wonderful parachute for her/him to land joyfully (hence the other attribute of being bushy tailed) I seek to imbibe these values over next few weeks as i wear some important hats for few projects in my life and hope that these values become intrinsic part of me so that the avatar can be freed for use by someone else :) .

Will you accept my invitation?

Well I know you love me and care for me!

But you know what I am missing you and all of you might also be missing me (or my unkept promises :) )

I suddenly realized that its around 750 calendar days since I exicted and jumped in habit of blogging...my few random posts won't reflect at all the kind of experiences I have had as direct outcome of this hobby by reading from several folks, meeting few and relating with a few.

During last few years I seem to be missing on few hygiene aspects related to managing my time for best benefit of myself and others in many personal matters. Thus I am lucky that you all have still been with me and are always gonna be there as we move along...

So what I am gonna do is list some of the things which i promised to each of you with some indication of time i desire to close the and all I would do is strike these off as and when they are closed... so keep pulling me and encouraging me, cheering me as I crawl to these simple steps...

1. Nandika - let me get your bicycle fixed up - target - 8th/9th jul

2. Neetu - let me go to sleep by 2.15am 8th jul IST (i know we need to continue living happily and thus stay away from this 'Dream Express' - nick name of my newly acquired PC, beyond healthy hours)

3. Dr Lolla - will send you updated Synopsis and Approach document for my PhD Thesis by 10th Jul'06 and will also call you after that to share my ideas on your upcoming program on 'Art for Non-Art folks specially those in IT'
