If you?re reading this post, I?m already on the plane or maybe even in Bangalore. If you?ve been following this blog for a while, you?d know that I got placed through my college last November. As required by the job, I have to relocate to the city of Bangalore and the time has finally come for it.

This is in fact the first time I?ve ventured out of the safety of Mumbai into the unknown. Two years back when I set out to do my MBA in SCMHRD, Pune, I knew that I had everything planned and fixed with no need to worry about food, clothing or shelter. This time, it?s a question of shelter. So, if any of you reading this in Bangalore, know of a good 1BHK in Koramangala area at reasonable rates, please do drop me an email.

My office is located in Bellandur, so any suggestions regarding where to stay are also welcome.

Another purpose of making this post is regarding support for my WordPress plugins and themes. I?ll be tied down at least for the next two weeks and I?m pretty sure for two weeks after that as I hunt for a place to stay, get accustomed to the new city and job and get all the basic connectivity, which includes a decent internet connection. I do have my Airtel GPRS connection and a Reliance data card, but I hope I get a good signal to ensure I don?t get too frustrated to stay online.

Hence, for the next month, I won?t be able to fully and completely provide the support at the speed I have that I have for so long. Please do post your support requests in the forum. I?ll try to check in once a day or at least once every two days and respond to queries. Sending me an email won?t help. Read why.

So until then, do wish me luck. I?ll try to stay active on Twitter as well as Facebook (at least in the nights).

As most of you are aware, I quit my job in order to study further.

Began Saturday with a visit to the accounts department at L&T to finish of the settlement. Collected my service certificate

Skipped my class on Saturday (bad boy!) because I had to sell off my two cellphones.

Am planning on buying a N90, N80 or a N93, depending on a lot of factors. What do you suggest?

Went for my AIMCAT on Sunday. This times was a lot better, though I am sure everybody else must have felt the same.

Class was on Numbers. Glad I attended because I learnt stuff I would never have dreamed of!

Went for the 6pm mass.

Woke up nice and late today Had plans on cleaning my PC and the area around it, but that didn’t happen. Did take out the VA books and started studying. I kinda like doing that, though I don’t have much of an option anyway!

Came home really frustrated from work today. Not frustrated with what I do but with how much I am supposed to do.

I don’t think I can call it frustration. I guess it is just plain exhaustion. Anyway, I’m blabbering…

As I reached home my eyes fell upon Words of Hope Daily Reflections booklet for April, May and June 2005. Simply flicked it open and read this for April 4

The reflection is the passage from Genesis 3:17-19.

This really has lightened my spirits. I’m still tensed however as Genesis 3:19 says,

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

And here is the prayer from the April 4th entry.

Prayer: Lord, give us the courage to work, even in the face of difficulty.
