Day today 4 March 2011 diary

Job change front – I am also aggressively scouting out leads for job change as I know Dell is not my career growth path. Dell has given me couple of recognitions in past few months which makes the stay for few more months in Dell bearable. We are expecting to get our appraisals done by March end. But until I get the new job I really have to keep trying. Since I am asking for general management roles which is changes of stream and also step ahead in realm which has very limited opportunities. Keeping fingers crossed. Every day I motivate myself to dream big as I want something special which I have not done before and for which I will be student. I am not fearful of being student but I want that opportunity to arrive. I dont enjoy what I do but I believe I will enjoy the new role as there is something to learn/grow/something to practise for the first time. Will destiny favor the brave and the dreamer.

Health – Diagnosis has been reconfirmed from more neuro sources. This is follow up action from my parents side not me. I am not even discussing health at all. It is just endless dark tunnel for me. I don't want to know that I have rare illness.(I dont like using the word disease - illness sounds more healing and everyday use word) Anyways my parents are coming back to Bangalore and they want to have follow up visit with NIMHANS neuro person to chart out course of medication. All neuros which my parents consulted as follow up believe some kind of medication should happen as they believe every attack which would happen will do some damage. I don’t like this approach especially since approach is to take steroids. Let us see what happens. We will know by 20 th March.

On alternate careers - bought the canvas to paint should be able to start ASAP. Painting teacher is busy this Saturday as I planned to start this Saturday. Tried to connect with couple of people on linkedin who have opened retail chains for various stuff – like baby clothes and whatever. I plan to blog every morning as a religion and today was first day of plan and I have launch in Dell. Can’t write at all. On teaching Avi(my son) – One good thing a week – yesterday started teaching avi responsibility of learning to manage his things. Only two things right now – getting ready in morning if he wants to go to school and finishing his home work in evening. It is tough thing to do – constantly demonstrating how much I am with him in getting him to be responsible at the same time making him believe why it is important to own one’s life. As a teacher I should be persistent which is tough – it is easy to do it for him rather than to get him to do it just with his own initiative.
