My better half

She actually is. My better half that is. I normally don't admit to it in public, but I guess this blog is OK because she never reads it though she says she does. On reflection, why is she my better half ? Basically she brings out those aspects in me which I feel makes me a better person. Well she has made the most of the frequent transfers and the seperation that my job entails. Surprisingly even in a nondescripit place like Kharagpur, she has kept herself busy. Some of her activities here are outlined below

· Working online for a HR company, matching profiles with job openings.
· Trading stocks online, albeit on a small scale.
· Yoga classes on a daily basis.
· Part of a meditation group doing Kriya Yoga

Well, that is apart from her homemaking responsiblities. Now what do I do in my spare time, sleep and run ( on a fitness regime nowadays !) apart from blogging that is. Her latest activity was to attend an interview for Wipro's BPO set up in Kolkota. She made it through the interview. But relocating to Kolkota is really not on the agenda, but the interview gave her a much needed market appraisal. I was pleasantly surprised at the pay package offered (approx 15 - 20 K depending on the incentive offered). Somehow I feel that when she enters the job market after about a year (when our younger son Pranav start's school), she would do well to acquire a skill set to complement her MBA. After looking at the industry scene, Technical writing is one area which we have identified. But that is into the future, as the song goes

"Que Sera Sera,What will be, will beThe future is not ours to see"

On that note, so long till the next post.
