the settin...
ok the winter is coming up here, you can feel the cold...but wait first the autumn, havent seen an autumn in a long time, only in the good ol'd days of SPS, Darjeeling, thats when we saw the leaves fall last, north india didn't give you the opprotunity.
surprisingly was thinking of ongole, 2 winters ago, a 25 degree winter (celcius) and people in sweaters looking at the mad north indian (me) in shorts on new year's eve.
the cattle town...you know i could have been the ranger...
instead i only sold oil.
and yes i miss the chai not my snobbish darjeeling special (which i still love and have access to here, enough in stock) but the roadside guy's one and yup had the opportunity to have that at quite a few places all the way from jind to cumbum...sipping away my then wretchedness
the other thought which hit me today was the mandevian hullabulloo. It was not a guava orchard though as some has us to believe but more like a two year 'strategy bazaar', we sold ourselves silly allright, right from ajit da's accent (he was one of the better prof's around, and i can never forget the way he picked up the phone and called up his friend the CEO at Reckitt, and say thank you murthy..) to the full bloodied zeros on Sahai's quiz.
may god bless their souls..all the way long to the No. 1 ranking.
