Come Sit By My Fire…

You have always been a very good friend to me. You have always been a guide to me to show the right  path. When I wanted a hug, you were there. When I was alone, you were my shadow.. For you, I have always been a priority. But now, when our lives have put us apart, when I haven’t seen you for days…I realize that you are a very special part of my life. Someone has rightly said,”Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” You are one of very few people who really know me, understand me… I want you to be with me in every aspect of life.

I just want you to come back…come sit by my fire…

The Voice of The Rain

And who art thou? said I to the soft-falling shower,
Which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated:
I am the Poém of Earth, said the voice of the rain,
Eternal I rise impalpable out of the land and the bottomless sea,
Upward to heaven, whence, vaguely formed, altogether changed, and yet the same,
I descend to lave the drouths, atomies, dust-layers of the globe,
And all that in them without me were seeds only, latent, unborn,
And forever, by day and night, I give back life to my own origin, and make pure and beautify it;
(For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering, recked or unrecked, duly with love returns.)

Walt Whitman

It’s been a while

Yes, it’s been a few months since I last blogged. Life has been very crazy this time. I finally graduated with engineering after a long 4 year time (not completely, yet to do my integ MBA part). I left feeling very excited and overwhelmed, but I guess that’s to be expected after becoming Er. Nishant Goel…J

The excitement came with 2 months of vacation, which was actually meant for summer internship to acquire management skills (they think I am already done with my engineering skills), which I (almost) did very passionately.  I opted to work with SIEL Limited (a part of erstwhile DCM group). People there were very supportive, in kind, they helped me with everything they could. One thing which took my surprising level was that the employees at SIEL were very content with their jobs and most of them are with the group for more than 25 years..!! (when compared to that in most of MNCs). Besides, I used to get delicious meal at subsidized rate with tea 2 times a day (which helped me to stay awake in office...thanks to people of Assam) and a refreshing ‘Shikanzvi’. The period left me with an all time new industry experience with tons of practical knowledge and understanding, for which I am eagerly waiting to implement.

I should also admit that I have not been doing everything to keep myself healthy during the internship period. I did my breakfast full of paranthas (butter to be obvious), slept in day hours (night hours as well) and started exercising (which ended the next day). Now that I am back to my studies, I plan to pick my schedule backup.

So, that’s just a brief update on my life right now. A lot more posts would be hitting the blog in the coming weeks… J
