The response, both, online and offline, that I have got after my last post has been phenomenal. Everyone has been very supportive and encouraging. My heartfelt thanks to all of them, as this support will only increase my resolve.
I was in dull and depressing London again last week. The hotel made it even worse. Bad service can make the best of brands seem the worst.
However, there were a lot of bright spots during the week. I was in London to be part of some workshops which were very successful, including the team drinks on Thursday! The session with Arshan, Mayank & Pratik on Wednesday was good as well. Went to Browns at Shoreditch. We got out of the place before Mayank's eyes could pop out of their sockets. The best evening out was on Friday, when I caught up with Grant for a drink and then had dinner with Navin. To top it all off, I was upgraded to First by BA on my way back!
Landed in Mumbai on Sunday early morning, where confusion reigned as usual at the airport. This time the cause was confusion amongst immigration and airline officials on which version of the landing cards to fill! So, after spending time filling out multiple versions of it, I finally made my way home.
Drove to Pune via the expressway in the afternoon on Sunday inspite of the jet lag. Wonderful drive! Was back at home after dropping in-laws at Pune in a grand total of 7 hours; door-door-door!
By the end of it all, couldn't wait to doze off.....take care.

I am absolutely supportive of your new initiative of quitting smoking , would be gutted if you restart. Was nice to meet and have dinner with you.
I completely agree with your experience with the hotel mine is no different .Mine is even worse than yours .
Great you are whizzing around and also spending time with family a truly very different Suresh than the one i used to see say three years back.
Cheers
I think you are right. And I think one should keep reinventing oneself, according to the circumstances / stage of life.
Having said that, I was always a 'Work Hard; Play Hard' character. You should know!
Cheers!
Suresh
