May 20th

In cab and it's raining outside. I think this year rain came quite early. It's pleasant weather outside and it's too hot at deoghar. Don't know what the kids will do. All the shopping is over. Got a turtle jacket and a tee. All set to go. Tickets are booked so no tension there as well, running after TT to get a berth.  Got the new weights and the exercise bench. Really loving it. Post the work out it feels so great and elevated and it releases the stress. I am able to handle much more load and complex things quite easily. It makes a lot of difference. You feel good from within. I have started a dinosaur tale for Etu. He is fascinated by them and every night I have to tell him a section or portion of the story. I call each episode with a fancy name like "TREX chased away" or "the monster anaconda". My whole intention is make him forget the day and just listen to the story make some correlation with the past or laugh his way out. I make some funny stat...

I got my exercise bench today. The intention is to use it in the long run but let's see till when it goes. The barbell rod were a disappointment, I was expecting the bolts to be more round type but it came as  it was with me now, the old one. But still it's good. I am expecting the dumbbell sets tomorrow that will help me giving the variable weights for bench press, shoulder press and also lighter weights for side raise. I am converting my 3rd room as mini gym.  I love it, well I don't have any other place to spend money so why don't spend on something which is good and is healthy. Shopping is on full swing for Ritesh marriage. It's almost done but still something is pending like blazer. Shall I go for it, in hot summertime will be a pain. But Ritesh marriage is the last big ceremony at our home. He just ordered his camera, was watching it closely for about a month. The price kept moving up and down and finally he got it at 34k approx. I got the surprise refund of 2...

Good news. Got 30 percent hike this year. It feels good to get a fat check every month but with every passing time there is an extra responsibility that is entrusted on you and the expectation is set very high. Still fumbling with the management terminology, which Prashanth is expecting out of me. I feel he is a bit annoyed with my salary and was not expecting these numbers.  Thanks a lot Mathai for the trust and confidence in me. It was only because of him, I could have done something as good as this.  To be frank, I am not over board with this. Yes, money is important but how much. You will only feel the  need when you badly need it like medical or education. I am still very far from education but medical is not under you. Planning to get a health insurance on top of company paid. Never know when it's required. I am a simple guy, not fascinated by cloths, watches, electronics etc. Need a very small number to live. I like travelling but with small kids it's difficult. I ...
