Got a new plan today…
February 28th, 2006
Getting up 6:30 in the morning to go for a jogging is a nice idea, but turns out to be quite an ideal one… & ideal things don’t mix & match well with our practical life’s. We come back from the office by 10 & by the time I finish with giving my colony’s doggies buiscuits [a daily task :-)] & washing my clothes [tri-weekly task], its almost 12… chatting & finalizing plans for the next day usually pushes back our sleeping time by another hour. Hence 6:30 in the morning seems to be too ideal 
On the same lines, going for jogging at 7-8pm is not possible either. Firstly, we don’t get back form office by that time… & secondly even if we do manage that somehow, our area - Keshav Nagar, is not such a nice place to jog around 
So the only feasible plan [as it seems to me] is to bring my jogging clothes to the office & take a half an hour break at about 6:30, jog for about 6 kms, come back, change & work again…
…aahhh finally i’ll be putting my plan to action at 6:30 pm

The MDK group - this pic was taken for the official MDK [about_us.html] page & is probably 3.5 years old. We (Me and Deepak) ran our college’s website (our brainchild) - www.maitzone.com for about 2.5 years before we ourselves decommisioned it because of lack of time… & funds. I learnt alot from the experience… both professionally & personally BTW, my last update on Deepak was that he recently left Infosys & had joined a nice organization of his work interest Kewl! Following one’s dreams requires some tough decisions Respectable!
