THE DHN DILEMMA

 After a long time I thought of writing about my workplace (as it is really intriguing). So as it turned out I some how managed to successfully complete my Singapore project and was anxiously waiting for my new assignment. I flew back to Bangalore to our new office and was extremely happy to see my people grow leaps and bounds. I was once gain handed the Railway Team and my joy knew no bonds when they told me that next assignment of mine will be in my home town. My disappointment was greatly reduced.( I did not want to be back in my team but then home is home). So bags packed within the blink of eye and i landed in my home and was royally treated by mum's food.

Then the next day taking a walk down the memory lane i started for Dhanbad , the same dusty roads i used to take for my entrance exams. The case with Railways office in general is that they look in a very dilapidated condition from outside as if they would fall just with air blow but the fact is that inside the building, there are huge powerhouses who can turn on anything and who manage the largest employer of the world. And my good luck or bad luck whatever, I ran into two such power houses Sr.DFM and ADFM/II. I have always been a fan of the IRAS gang, not because they have different ideas but because they can make simple idea a wow idea within the blink of an eye. May be that separates these genius people from we ordinary people because they think out of the can, not because they are some super humans but due to the fact that, they stretch themselves to the maximum and are ever ready to burst out of the cocoon where in we ordinary people limit ourselves.

So, I was very happy that I got two such astounding supervisors who in every way made my job easy by showing me the way. But at the same way I was really astonished to see the extreme gap between the top level and middle level in Dhanbad. I have worked in quite a few Railway projects ranging from extra modern Western Railway to extremely less resourceful South Eastern Railway, but the so called gap , I had never seen at any place.I really want to make Dhanbad as one of the best , one which other Railways can envy, but sometimes I lose out my conviction and motivation after I interact with people here. May be there is a lot of inertia here but at the same time there are Newtons like Sr.DFM and ADFM/II to neutralize that. One session with these people, and you just get back your enthusiasm feeling all over the moon and ever ready to rock. I have never seen a Sr.DFM or a ADFM sit with me at 8 in the night or on weekends ensuring the correctness of the system. These people have literally slogged it out with me in their endeavour to make Dhanbad the best, but I know some where down the line the middle level and the lower level have to catch up to make this dream come reality. I just pray that before I go from here I can say that I was a part of this turn-around.

Bottomline is no one knows what the future is in store for me but for sure Dhanbad experience will be an ever lasting one.

THE B&T EFFECTS

So as it generally happens, was off to Kolkata ths weekend again escaping from the hectic work life of Dhanbad and trying to get back into the groove at 'CITY OF JOY'.  But there was a sense of anticipation this time, the eagerness to meet the tiger of our team, the guy who has taught us a lot and still we are learning from him. But to our surprise we had a beautiful surprise guest to go with the handsome hunk and man , did they make a couple ? Gorgeous,effervescent and charming duo and the first question stuck , they look so made for each other types, its like B was always made for T and vice versa.

Seeing them one is forced to believe that Love does not come with a tag of restrictions and limitations, it is an independent feeling that arises from within and is purely unconditional and boundless.The way they effortlessly communicate through their eyes is just awesome. Its like T is the oxygen which B is trying to breathe.Some people keeping looking for that perfect one all along but they have had themselves for each other all along. On seeing them one feels that their love will make them strong even on their weakest days.It is like one is not the half of two rather two of them are halves of one.One is cheese and the other maccaroni. Their love awakens our souls and brings calmness and peace to your minds. They just fit the bill, B & T making two broken pieces as one.Watching them i realized their every move and every touch and gesture made complete sense giving the completeness to the feeling of love between them. They are like the glue that hold their lives and faith in each other together, they have learnt to hang in and stay connected.They have a faith in their love and that strength and blessing is so large that it can carry them till eternity. No one is perfect in this world neither me nor B&T but its their combined flaws that allow two separate beings to hinge together. If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, then they spending time together is a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale.

I have often wondered that how do relationships last and i guess i got some answers today. WIshing both of you a very happy union and lots of good life ahead. CHEERS TO B&T.
