In the recent days, I’ve understood that it is one thing to realize a dream and it is entirely another matter to live the realized dreams. In the past month, I moved to a house near the beach, bought a new car and got a project manager post in an ERP division – three of my wishes for sometime now coming to pass. Once the initial vibes settled down, I see that living in the ‘promised land’ is not that easy: driving such a big car through Chennai traffic is a challenge on its own. Having learnt and driven in lane-based-driving, I find it extremely difficult to drive in a chaotic and unruly traffic. At office, being a new joinee, no project is allocated; only a PC without a net access is given – which is equivalent to having none. At home, due to recent rain, motor to pump the water got repaired and so the whole of yesterday passed without water and I had to continuously follow-up in getting it rectified. As of writing this entry, it is still not done; having a sick mother with me only increases the concern.

All of these do disturb me but I’ve decided to stay put and see it through. After all, isn’t these events that make life, an enjoyable ride?
