By the time you read this I would probably be gone…
Whoa! bad choice of words, let me try again.
I would be spending most of my 40th birthday travelling – Swati had had planned a nice party but a client decreed otherwise, however all is not lost – If Indian decides to reach on time then just the two of us can still have a candle lit dinner in a nice sea side restaurant in Pattaya. But lately our official airline is being true to one of Indian traits “An Indian may reach but he never arrives.”
40!
Some how this figure has been made a watershed number by many and most who cross it say – WTF it feels no different – So here is the mandatory “WTF if feels no different” from me.
Umm… wait a min it does for me at least in terms of physical health. Instead of the passive approach which I had fooled my self into 2 years ago I actively started working out in gym and over the period of last year the pectoral girth has gone from a puny 31“ to a respectable 37” – that probably clarifies the, to put it mildly, the awkward alias of the title – Aasim though no longer says it but he always has that grin whenever I change my shirt. There have been some other embarrassing but artistic repercussions of this change, which thanks to my trainer is proportionate for the complete body but I think I will leave that for another day.
Last year I had mentioned that SANIsoft was poised for a ramp-up if needed – we found that it *is* needed and now we are firmly in the process of taking SANIsoft to the next level – yes it is stressful but then it is fun as well.
I still believe in marking milestones of life at 16,26,36 , the next 6 years promise to be exciting – I hope when I do take stock 6 years from now I will not find too many things which I had fooled myself into thinking as true.
Most of them photographs
Aha.. so another person who hit the 40 mark but still works and thinks like a 20 year old..
Congrats
If I didn’t know you better – that you would be humiliating

Thanks dude, how are things?
Things go well, but academia is a killer. As it turns out, I will miss Foss.in this year due to exams.

Hey happy 40 !
Thanks dude
Many Many happy returns of the day, should be fun to accomplish everything you set out to accomplish, atleast all the intermediate targets. What next? World conquest ?
The ride to accomplishing was the fun part – feels satisfied BUT right now what I am hating is that for the next level I am dependent on too many 3rd party people, just an eg: employees for whom dreams don’t mean anything…
Happy Returns of the Day!
Thanks
