      The week from the last post sounded to be one of the most challenging ones. and it's good. i've learnt so many different things in different areas of life. actually it means, that i'm ready to face such level of the challenges. The main thing now is to implement all the action steps in the reality and move ahead. When i feel to hard i tell myself, that if i got scared after each fall,when i was learning how to walk, i would not be able to do it till now. So life is moving. And i really started to value things that i have more. Think you need some situations in your life, just to realize, that nothing is given to you for granted. i understood one more thing - i'm really lucky and happy person, thanks God for it. and if to take happiness, it should go from you, the last thing is to expect somebody to make you happy. But sometimes it's so easy to feel sorry for yourself, then i wake up from such thoughts and move further. i love this life too much, to give up so easily. And i want to learn, and implement my learnings. So, less words, more actions. It's like a mountain, you climb and fall down and then climb one more time, and so on. And the more experience you get, the more complicated it is to climb that mountain, but you do it. Why? 2 reasons - you get the pleasure of climbing and falling down and you want to touch the ice on the peak. that's it. Or like in the computer game -when you reach some level there will be very beautiful cut scene or video)
    
      What else is going on? we plan to have an internet in our flat. Sometimes it is so strange to me, that in India with it's good level of technology development, the price of the internet is so expensive. Then i think about the % of the population, who are actually using it, so it becomes reasonable.

     There are a lot of new people. You know, lots of them are still new for me, even if they are here for 1 month already. That's more about the difference in a distance, as i've mentioned some time before.

this week was full with different events and memorale dates.
First of all on 4th it was my first anniversary of being in India. yup, time just flew away...but the first memoriesare still alive. I remember my first flight in life and taking pics of the clouds, New Delhi airport and having no idea, what to do after coming out of it. Remember Mayank and Kunal, who made my 1st 2 days in India full with positive emotions.Trainees flat in New Delhi and my trip to Pune. First memories about CS and a number of the memories, connected to my Suzlon XP. Time goes by and i've already joined new company and preparing to make a trip to Ukraine. When you're there you can't believe, that you've ever left that place. Coming back to Pune, brought a lot of changes in the lifestyle. We started to have our separate place to live with Utkarsh and that added a lot of the interesting and happy moments from the one side and a lot of responsibilities from the other side. I'm happy and i thank God a lot for sending him into my life. My xp in Stratecent makes me feel satisfied and wish to do more and more. I feel this capacity inside, so searching for the opportunities. On the date of the 1st India anniversary Kishu's dad was here, so we had a really interesting time with him.
Yesterday i was reminded (Thanks, Edu) about another date. My xp with Suzlon started on 7th of September. It was my first international corporate xp and i'm really glad, that i have it. I try to keep with my excolleagues in touch, but it's a bit different from chatting each day, when you're working together.
Know, i'm happy to celebrate these days, because they tell me about one more thing: live is like a river. it's floating constantly and each day brings you lots of positive moments, luck and xp. And i'm really happy about it.
we, dressed in traditional way
I trully believe, that i will have chances to fulfill my dreams and to meet all the people, with whom we were here in Pune at least one more time, even if we're on the other corners of the planet now. And i know, that both of us, will make our best to sustain and develop our happy life together.

     Why not? it's actually very good question. Sometimes i notice the moments, when i'm lazy) may be even not just lazy, but sure, that i can do it on the next day\time. For example - seeing something beautiful around you and pass by on the bike, because it's to much actions to take the pic. But from the other side it means, that i don't really want it. Because i've proved to myself number of times, that if you really want something and are ready to pay for it - you'll get it for sure) 
      Now i'm striving to become a professional. Read more, do more and get more. I totally understand, that i'm the only one, who actually cares about my development and further achievements. It doesn't mean, that other people don't care, but if i'm not doing anything, who can help me? 
      I like to talk to my possess, the level of inspiration about our company and products, they carry inside motivates me a lot. I like the job, which i'm doing now, and when you listen to the person, who really believes in uniqueness of our product and great possibilities, it makes me feel motivated even more. It makes me feel, that i'm doing something positive in my life, something, which is a bit above only money, and at the same time it can bring you both - money and development, if you do it with excellent quality. 
      I love life. I totally understand it. And i will keep saying thanks to God for the number of opportunities provided. Even, if something comes, that makes you feel not so good, you understand, that it was only for your development and growth.
     
     Yesterday we've met new interns from CS and had a pancake party from Jose. There are 3 new German people now - 2 girls and one guy. All of them are for 6 weeks only, because they need to go back to studies in October. One more guy is Kenta, he's from Japan, his English is totally different for me and i have a feeling, that this is mutual. Panckaes from Jose were nice designed and really tasty. Roaming around CS memories and moments were coming to my mind. lots of interesting ones, even looking at the 'wall of honour', which is almost full now (it's fine, we have more walls there))). 

Feel happy...

       It's raining since morning. At such days you have no wish to get out of the bed and go somewhere. The dark sky out of the window doesn't motivate you for adventures outside the flat. But you hear the alarm clock and start to move. Totally automatically you dress up for a gym and get out of the flat. You start to wake up totally, while doing cardio and feel really grateful, that you came here. In other case you will feel sleepy for the entire day with such kind of weather. There are not so many ppl in gym in the morning, preferably teenagers, who're quite funny, when they stand in front of the mirror and try to search muscules on their bodies. And in case of any result - continue doing their exercises with huge passion and a goal to be, like that guys on the pictures on the walls. I'm waiting for the swimming pool to start. Don't care much about the ladies and general time, i'm ready to swim in jeans, but to Swim! )))

Thinking about the weekend) it was cool) Actually, everything started from small farevell to Milosz in our flat. For the guys it was the first time to see it) And it was still lacking some basic furniture, which was not a problem for a good time. Farewell party to Melanie. Totally unbelievable, time just flashes. And i understand that i have known her for more than half a year, wow! One more thing comes to my mind, that this Saturday it's going to be exactly one year, as my adventure in India started. Sunday brings a lot of positive news and a dinner in Godfred's house. Food from Ghana tastes 'ama'y'zing', so now the time for Indian - Ukrainian dinner) Actually, already had some trial of "Ukrainian made chicken", results sounds to be tasty;))

I'm grateful to God for the moments he gives in my life, for the person he gave to me. I feel very happy and grateful about it.
Thinking about the rain - think people got really scared, when it was raining 40 days without a stop. The biggest + is the greenery at this period of time.
Found one extremely funny and quite old commercial:
Have fun and learn English)
My progress in languages is not very big As for now - biggest conversation with our maid - 5 sentences from my side)) making fun of myself and continue learning))

Sycle society has new interns. This time balance shifted to the side of the beautiful ladies, which represent Germany and Portugal. I still haven't met all of them, but think it will happen in the nearest future.

Hey! What’s going on in my life for the last weeks)
Extremely good adventure of the past weekend – was our 4 days trip to Goa with Utkarsh. Who told you, that there is a ‘season’ for Goa, can be corrected in better way. Because, there’s always ‘season’ in Goa. Actually it starts from October till March, but in the August Goa will surprise you a lot. It’s worth seeing such beauty of colors and nature as it is there) I was surprised in the positive way of things. It started, when we got out in Margao and took an Activa. This was not the first time of being in Goa, so we decided to find some not overcrowded beach, which will give and opportunity of peaceful romantic weekend. Choice came to Varka after some research in the internet. Varka appeared to be really nice beach, but due to the offseason, there were no shelters on the beach and we didn’t want to agree for smth less than that. Almost the same situation was on Colva and Benolim. So, we took the direction towards the place, which hosted us very nicely last time – Palolem. Driving to the Palolem we were getting excited by the beauty of the nature on the way. You have this feeling for the every moment – let’s stop, take the camera out and click this view – and after 5 meters – one more view. And one more… Palolem had some foreign tourists and lots of fishermen this time. We’ve got a room in the house exactly on the beach. What else do you need? Terrace, with the view on the sea, place to keep your clothes and 10 meters to the sea, where you can run. That was the case with me… But first of all, we were extremely hungry, so went to taste sea food specialties. I really love them a lot. I’m very occasional non-veg, but can’t resist from delicious prawns or fish. Mmm, even now I can feel taste of the prawns in garlic souse if I close my eyes and imagine it. At the same time Goa was greeting us with changing weather – it was quite cloudy, but without heavy rains.
If you have a real wish to test your swimming skills and see big waves – go to the Agonda beach. It has very strong stream and the waves can be of your height) also it has some stone surrounding which gains marvelous green color during the rainy season. So you feel like in fairy tale, palm trees, amazing greenery and white waves…Yup, you can add me, collecting shells and Utkarsh, laughing from this pic))
Back to Palolem. If you want to try extremely delicious cuisine for very reasonable price – try Casa Fiesta. You will be amazed with the taste of the sea food and also can try the Mexican food by the original recipes.
If to put all the XP in bullet points, Goa worth going in monsoon because:
1. Extremely beautiful nature full of colors
2. New places are waiting for the adventure seekers (recommend: Kuskem, Cob de Ram and magic bubbles)
3. Delicious sea-food (recommend Casa Fiesta on Palolem)
4. Extreme trips on Activa during the rain
5. Sea…the magic of it doesn’t let you go without the best memories
6. Moments… (This point you should fill on your own)

Tuesday, 17 August 2010

yeah, i have found some time to appear here.)
What's going in this beautiful part of the world, called India. or if to take bigger zoom - in city Pune and my life)

i learn how to play chess. this is the first thing, which comes to my mind. playing chess with Utkarsh is really tough thing. But it has it's own pluses, it becomes easier to play at my workplace. As for now our score is 60: 3... you know, which points are mine)

i really like the place, where i work now. first of all, job gives a lot of opportunities for creativity and ideas implementation. and i feel happy about it. Second reason is the ppl, who are around me) all our team)) like them;))
this weekend we went for a movie together. (actually, 'expendables' was a nice movie with all old school of action heroes). Let's see, what will happen next)





We've got used to our flat,it's really nice place to live) We still haven't got the internet in our flat, so the only opportunity it's office time. 

Mornings bring a portion of energy after paying a visit to gym) yeah, i feel cool about it, even if you need to wake up at 6a.m.)) feel better, then when just sleeping for the entire morning)) they promise working swimming pool from September, it brings my level of motivation to the top)

Want to share this with you) Made today in the morning. Coming earlier to office has it's benefits: while waiting for somebody to come and open the door, you can spend some time, observing the nature around. I like to take pictures of the nature, it's always photogenic. The funniest thing is, that you can see it every day, but just pass by and don't notice. And at one moment you say: "Wow, it's really beautiful"



Reading "Dilbert about future" by Scott Adams. it's really funny, but i think, that some ideas are a bit out of the date. In any case it's interesting. I find Dilbert quite funny hero. (in the book, when Adams gave his phone number in one of the comics, 650 people called him! and 300 found Dilbert Sexy O_O )) )

sometimes realizing my passion into cooking) i really love to do it. may be, because i think, what will the other person feel, while eating it) and then different ideas are running to the mind) Also cooking is a great way to increase your mood) you can't cook, when you feel bad or disappointed with something)) So you just switch it off and think about the beautiful things which will come)
have a few of images on my working pc)
