The day started quite late in the morning... It is Sunday and I had planned to go to church but I did not want to leave without praying and reading the bible first. So I did that.

During the prayer time, I started to think about a lot of things and what came across loud and clear was that I will need to spend time praising the Lord as it brings freedom. I will need to praise God especially during the times when I am feeling low as that will bring freedom to my soul. I will also need to worship more.. Currently, I pray but don't do much of praise or worship.

I have decided to fast from today. Hopefully for 40 days.

Rebekah and Kevin came home in the evening and we listened to some of the nostaligia collection CDs that I bought in NZ. We had a good time. It is always a great pleasure to have them come home.

Following the meeting with them, I decided to take a walk to clear my head and so I landed up at the MGM kids world to play the video games. However, once I reached there I quickly changed my mind and made it to the Dishnet internet cafe to start working on this blog and so here I am.

The day has been quite hard. I am increasingly feeling sidelined in my workplace. I feel that I am contributing very little in the whole business - or atleast appearing that way. The indications have been that the NZ trip has been a complete failure since I don't have a single project to show for it. I am determined not to blame the NZ team for the debacle - I will take the blame. But it is difficult because I am not sure that I could have done better.

The news from SSI has not been very encouraging either. It appears that the merger with SSI is being called off and it might be left to us to decide what to do with ourselves...ofcourse we have been warned against attempting to compete with any wings of SSI. We have been told to take a look at mobile computing technologies as a possible exit route from the Internet services business. I will wait and see what happens. Rajesh wanted to know how long it will take us to make money on mobile technologies and I have informed him that it would take atleast about 1.5 years since it takes time for us to figure out what applications to write, to obtain the sufficient training, the execute the project... the first project will quite obviously be less than successful as a commercial project etc.

I am feeling a little depressed today.. but I know God has a plan for my life. I will wait for that.

This blog will serve as my daily journal. Obviously, I would prefer to keep it private.
