7th to 10th October

On 7th visited Safdarjang hospital and showed my broken tooth to the dental surgeon. She recommended RCT and filling. Met Vikas at Oberai Hotel over lunch. Vikas said we could meet there next day. I told him not to plan as my experience is that generally we could not keep upto the plan. Let the next get together remain unplanned. He felt disheartened. But I could not help. On 8th visited CGHS for approval of certain tests.At SBI got internet and cell banking done. GR Gupta desired to come to handover his case to me under the Public Premises act. I asked Vicky to assist me in the case. Sh. Gupta will come next day. Missed morning program except regular walk. Got so much absorbed in 20 kilometers walk competition of CWG on tv that the time passed unnoticed and lo !! it was 9.30 am. The commitment of the participants enthused me so much so that I was on a high through out the day. The whole day was spent in watching boxing, athletics, shooting, archery etc. events. On 10th wished and blessed Khyati on her 9th birthday. I had promised to get her passport by her 9th birthday and she got it on 11th. It could not come on 10th, her birthday, as it was Sunday.
Liked reading of the interview of Sam Pitroda, advisor to the PM on publi information, infrastructure and innovation during the week. In the interview published at page 34, supplement dated October 3-9, 2010,of the Indian Express, date 9th October 2010. The substance of the interview is "There is a pattern to the journey because you drive it. You design your destiny. It is not about waiting for somebody else to give you directions. The last time I had a boss was in 1974! After that, I never had one. I did whatever I wanted to!"... His idea of happiness "To get up in the morning and not to have to worry about what to do during the day"...About Karma " I am just one of 7 billion people. One destiny. You do your thing, then you die. Nobody will remember you in any case." About a major challenge... "it is all inside. I am not looking at any motivation outside. And I always do multiple things. So if something gets stuck I drop it and work on something else. It is a journey . There are no destinations."..."I had 2 quadruple bypass surgeries, I have four stents. I had cancer. So my lows have been very intense. But I go to hospital, get it fixed , then I am on the road again, back to normal."....Because you can always look forward to work, you create and enjoy it, whatever it is- building something, polishing your shoes, cleaning the floor, reading a book"..."there is no Saturday or Sunday."
I recommend reading of the interview to all. Retired to sleep at 11pm.
