Updates updates updates

The past few weeks have been quite hectic. Work has soared to an all-time high (at least in this job) and 14 hour days with no weekends was the norm. It seems to be regularizing now.

The last week was particularly hectic with our annual strategy summit - Open Minds 2008 happening. The event is owned, coordinated, facilitated, conducted and generally pretty much the baby of the team I work with. I was designated as the support for the Emcee, which meant dealing with last minute schedule changes, script writing and generally putting on best behaviour, Sunday clothes and all. Key highlights of the three day event were:
a) Dinner with Kevin Freiberg
b) Lunch with Ram Charan
c) Evening with Som Mittal
d) A very special evening with Niladri Kumar, Vikku Vinayakram, V Selvaganesh and accompanying artistes.

The sessions were great and while some gave me new perspectives & ideas, some reinforced basic beliefs. I shall be writing about those soon.

As you can imagine, there hasn't been much of 'life' other than this in the past few weeks.

My July post on 'Driving In Hyderabad' won me a dinner prize from 040 - Explocity's Hyderabad publication. Wondering when I will take that up. Thanks Renu for letting me know that I won!

Working on some interesting ideas (partly from need, partly to keep myself busy); shall keep you all posted on those as we go along.
