I was chatting with one of my friend in USA couple of weeks back and she was wondering as how I get time to write blogs in the busy schedule. I just listened to her and opted not to comment. The reason is quite simple. I am not really that busy unlike others. The term workaholic does not suit me. In fact, I would love to be workaholic. There are several plans in my mind to keep myself busy but very few of them have come on paper and only one or two are executed.

I took a challenge of per suing education. Enrolled myself in distance learning programme EMBA( Executive MBA) in Oil and gas offered by University of Petroleum and Energy Studies - Gurgaon, India. Its testing time!! Exams are scheduled in January 2010 and I am putting my best efforts here. Imagine! I will be entering the exam hall almost after 18 years. My last appearance was during final year of engineering. That was in 1992.

I am not a regular blog writer but whenever I write, it gives me an immense pleasure of expressing myself. Putting my thoughts in words. Oh! what I feeling. Its good to express it rather than hiding it all the way inside your mind.

Indian Oil's depot caught fire. Oil and gas plays a vital role in human being's day to day life. It has brought lots of comforts but at the same time this has to be handled with utmost safety.

Settling down in Perth was quite smooth and silky. We are enjoying our stay in this beautiful city. As correctly said "small is beautiful". Perth is small and beautiful.

I could manage to trace the weblinks of Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan's Poems. These are my favourites and I keep on listening again and again.

Pooja at Home in Perth dated 22nd August 2009

ciao again

Padmakar(Paddy)

On 22nd August 2009, we performed Satyanarayana Pooja at our home in Perth. Myself and Jyoti were planning for this pooja since long time. and we were happy that finally we could perform the pooja. Some of our friends joined this pooja at our home.

We also planned to have potted garden in our back yard and started working on it. Getting pots, potting mix, shubs and plants of our choice were on the agenda. Bunnings in Cannigton was the the choice to get all this stuff. Visit http://www.bunnings.com.au/ for more details. Plan kicked off and we have , jasmine, royal palm tree planted in medium sized pots, marigold flower, mint , Asian green chilly were planted in standard size pots.

Work on Hamari Library is moving at slower pace. We could manage to raise the Rs 31000/- for Kartavya library funding. Still long way to go. if you are keen on helping for this noble cause please do drop an e-mail on hamari.library@gmail.com

Also visit http://www.kartavya.org/Library.asp and http://www.kartavya.org/index.asp

One can experience a great spirit of Mumbai during the 10 days of festival as everyone in the city worships lord Ganesh with great spirit. Myself and Jyoti always keep remembering as how we use to enjoy during this festival when we were young kids and also even after we moved to Bangalore never missed to visit Mumbai during the festival.

ciao again,
