Hi,

Its my first off after first roaster.
Good news from around. UNAMID peacekeepers are still there, even though fighting has started. Its odd, BBC is no longer covering it, so my information level has reduced a bit.
But i do know, this time it will be better and people will be somewhat safer.

My country is due for elections, so somebody is again going to get represent something that nobody out there knows about. But it will happen anyways. The only thing that it will help the country is: the huge spending that will be on during this time, it may help up the expenditure level of the country, improving the figures. It means we don’t need a war like gaza to boost our economy. It will be done with lesser bloodshed.
The worm causing the catastrophe in liberia has been identified. So the storm can now be controlled properly. The power deal in zimbabwae is now official: start the work people!..you have got a lot to do.
Obama has have had really too many setbacks this weak- its ok! it happens all the time, anytime better then yesterday.

Hari’s wife got sick. Extremely sick. I think she will have to move to hari’s paternal home. This is one thing that is over here with us guys, if anyone get’s in trouble, he has to call on back home for help. God knows what will happen to me when such thing comes to me.
Anyways, so he was on leave. And! well that meant i was incharge for the whole roaster. I don’t how you feel but running a terminal team is easier then running an govt or a family. For one thing everyone you are guiding is highly experienced they already know everything. So you only have to do paperwork and scheduling, guide small workshop teams and act fresh whole night. for three days, i was a bit disappointed by myself. Last day, i decided to go out and do the work, nothing, i went out with the fabrication team and sent the helper with the engineer and there i was helping out, when my time over there ran out, i found some more cleaning work for me. And it went out good too, It- in short meant, i had a bit of warm up with heavy duty equipment and lifting belts and ladders. It went good.

The shift went ok. Everything has gone ok till now. No calls from mahesh. I am relived & i have had a bad lunch. I ate something kind of onion vegi. just gulped it over with water and buttermilk.

….Only one thing odd- tomorrow is sunday, it means i won’t be able to write tomorrow. No net. But i think i will survive.

Hi,

First the best news: UNAMID stationed at mujahiri have decided to stay back amid certainity of heavy fighting. The moment i had read the news of them being asked out. Only thing that i could imagine was the repeat of Uganda 1994. I can do nothing more and i did it best- prayed to god. For me sitting here- the clashes have no direct impact. Yet i find it difficult to accept the victory of oil over blood.

Then the bad news: For consecutively two days, i was the shift incharge of the mech team, i did it good from my point of work, but both the times i have been deep eyed by my assistant manager for improper and incomplete paper work. Yeah, i can say- it’s an experience. ok! But i do know, today, hari will be back from training and today he has been scolded for the improper training that he has given to me.

Two things scare me the most :he will be angry a lot. And i know that there is a whole lot of paper work pending, which his senior has been pushing for me to take up.
It could mean that i will be working on a computer for the rest of my two night shifts and may be more.(I pray there emerges out some fabrication work, i would prefer that over the computer screen)

OK, so what is it that i did for the two days i was incharge????
It was something that everybody on my team was regretting and my AM rejoicing. CLEANING.

CLEANING: IS A COMPULSORY ACTIVITY WHICH IF HAS NOT BEEN DONE SINCE ETERNITY MAKES THE YARD CLEAN AND THE CLEANERS DIRTY.

But that is what my team did. I did it to. I don’t exactly know whome of us liked or disliked it.( i don’t store such feelings in my memory).
The highlights:
My brand new fork lift: 3T ACE. was used to its full for both the days, and as i have said it is beautiful and with its fork at a height of 3 meters. It looks cute.(I know the kalmar fork lifts-40 tones are also great- but short ladies have their own charm, that too if they are yellow bodied with black front and a nice double slide mechanism).
We lifted and arranged nearly everything that was in sight. and found several things which were not in sight arranged them all too.

I think this was good, for the cleaning that we have done, i am ready for any kind of scolding from anyone. I am ready to take any words from my collegues.
Several are wooing the work that i have done “Waste”. But i know this is one thing that will be boosting a lot in performance- guys don’t understand the basics of work they are senior to me, but i have found that they only tend to do their work and ask for salaries and promotions and stuff around that.

I am happy, now several things are more arranged and accessble. Whereever i have left i know it may not proceed ahead and my improper paperwork will be adding to bad words about my workstyle. I could not garnish the time to see what actually my men had accomplished. Due to the corrections in paper work i was doing or will be doing tonight, but when i get free from it, i would seriously take a look at it. and will surely let you know.

With Regards,
Apurva

Hi,

So January is out. Today is february the second. Good news: Well in zimbabwe MDC and mugabe have both agreed to share power. More good news, now russian church has a leader. Better news: Obama is not only sounding confident in his words about world reforms. Even better news: Bolivians are cheering great with their new constitution proposal. Importent news: markets are going up, slowly. More importent News: I heard IMF chief on BBC: economies with start picking up by later half of the year.

My news: Santa Clause has shifted to my village. Hurrey. Well some of you may not agree, or several may disagree but i think it is true.
Yesterday, was my off, and i left for town, instead of falling asleep did purchase, and went to bus stop to catch my bus back home
I WAS SITTING THERE, SIPPING TEA & I SAW A MAN IN PURPLE ON THE ROOF OF NEXT HOUSE WITH A LONG WHITE BEARD!!!. You will say what in the world: But you see i could feel that it was santa clause.
Reason- one, he looked fat with a 39 inch tummy, he was wearing purple clothes.(No red: may be because it is not christmas).
Two, He had a shiny beard.
Third- i saw two eagles with white wing base flying up there. Now an eagle is a different story here, you are only expected to see vultures in this region, which are nearly extinct. Eagles are not the story of the area.

Its a good sign for me: for at least i am happy.
Yesterday, was a wierd day for me, i was searching net on my phone for some stuff. I could not find it and fell asleep.

Today when i woke up, i just checked the phone- it had an article opened up on it, it was about saint antony. ( i was searching for fire egypt). lets be accurate, before today, the only saint i had ever heard of was saint valentine. The so and so name was nothing for me. But i did got to read about him. I thank god for it.

Yesterday was a good night too, i got to see MI 1. And i had dreams.
Office was a little bad, i was given office work, which i dislike a lot. I was actually detained by hari for both nights, reason i could not understand
I seriously don’t understand-
He detained me for both nights, that means i was not allowed to work on equipments, but was assigned fabrication work, i was welding, grinding, i was fitting parts. I was doing SAP work, but no equipments. I think it was coz, on my second day, i forget to log the teams on work in the log book.
He knows, i am addicted to cranes. I was furious, i was angry. And hari is a good person, so both days- i was not there on equipments but to tell you what: he brought home made food for me.
His wife cooked for me, he brought dinner exclusively for me both the nights. He said, i have had my dinner at home, this one you have.
Why in the world did you bring it then, if you ain’t not going to eat it, then why in the world does your wife cook it???
Fine i will ask her not to make next time, is that ok.
I took the bag-” I don’t mean i wont eat it, or will not eat it if you do bring it again. I just don’t understand” And the food smells great.

And he left for office, i for canteen.
SANTA: is a 5 letter word before 5 comes 4. I think before “santa” a man must learn the word : “love”.

Why do people take pain for others. It is unknown thing for me. I do take pain for machines, coz that makes maintainence easy. This thing about people, is like reading theology for me. I don’t understand..
But i am deeply touched. I did had also hurt my finger day before yesterday. Hari knows it. no body else knows it. It will leave a mark.

Just picked up the biography of AL Pacino: Third page: The wanderwall’s grand son said” Life is always on the wires - rest is just waiting”. I was hurt badly: not only by the wound, but also due to the courtesy showed to me by hari, i was hurt badly, for again i realized that day, i am alone- i don’t even know what is the difference between me and the equipment. We both hold no language, untill its a break down.

Mr. SANTA, i need to learn, what exactly does word, love means. How can i help build toys if i don’t understand which part is most importent for the child.
….I will be back to office tomorrow..
