So, as usual, I've managed to neglect my blog for months on end. No matter what I tell myself, I don't seem to have the patience or the discipline to do this regularly any more. I know I want to, but I can't seem to put down in words the millions of thoughts messing around in my head at any point of time...

Of course the last two months have probably been some of the toughest in my professional life; the big exodus of people from the organisation and then those of us who stayed back trying to get things back on track. There have been 16 hour work days seven days a week, there have been sleepless nights and missed meals, and a lot of bull from a lot of sources. But the worst seems over now, and I am looking forward to the challenges posed by my new role now.

Christmas is a lull as far as work is concerned, so after a long time I actually have time to sit down at home and do something other than work. I intend to use this time to do what I've been planning to do for the last six months - write about some of the trips I've taken over the last couple of years. Let's see if I can stick to it this time!!
