Contrasts

yesterday night nat geo was running a show about the sunderbans while at the same time discovery was running a show about megacities.

it was quite a contrast. my mind though is more fascinated by the jungle than by the city, and i watched the show about the sunderbans. it really was interesting - there are mud crawlers in the sunderbans, a type of fish that can walk on the ground! another interesting thing is that the fishermen in the sunderbans have trained otters to help them catch fish too!

if only we could evolve and develop without destroying nature!

Work, dust, heat and all that...

all i see out of the window from office is dust. the building across the street is barely visible. despite the thick cloud, it is still 40 degrees outside.
apart from the weather, there is work that is keeping spirits down. i do not know how many times have i had to deal with clients that are either plain stupid, completely ignorant and arrogant.
it is surprising the kind of people you meet as a consultant. people have money, have it invested, and now want you to tell them it is a wise and feasible investment...otherwise you are not doing your job.
and with all these factors to raise your spirits, is the knowledge that you have to sit back each day in office till late trying to finish work. and by late it is around 9pm everyday.
it is taking its toll. just keeping paitence as i hope someday all this will be worth the wait.
