New Year bash ....

After Marriage , this was our First New year celebration together  and 26th Year individually too ..... Me the Coup , she the apple ........starting 2 days went with loads of Hindi movie Masala ...... still with hopes with upcoming year will be better then all past 25 Christmas we had seen .

With 26th time promising with self that we will adhere to resolution ... although the criteria  changed from ANY job to BETTER job ... to getting married to getting settled ... from Two Wheeler to Shifting to a car .... from convincing parents to convincing parents-in-law ..

But i don't want to sound Pessimistic on 1st blog that i will procrastinate all these promises as i keep doing every year ...

First of the Promise I done with Mimu( My wife )  is change of job within 1st quarter of this year ... and keeping my fingers Crossed and  praying to God to Help me Attain the same .

Still whatever happen .. i will keep the attitude i learnt from Thakur ( My Father ) ............... " Itni tension na la ... Kuch bhi ho 17E/31( Address of my home )  hamesha khulla ha ..... u can always depend on Me " ......

And my resolution since 1985 ... ki ma papa ko bhi yahi vishwas dilwa saku ... ki " MAIN HU NA"

Reading Omens

God Has lots of thing to share with us ..they try to share them with situation , hurdles , peoples and choices .

he want us to learn through small difficulties and to get prepared for bigger one ... For the time , there was one constant knock on my mind for the job i am stuck in ... for 100 reasons i knw , it was only 3-4 reason which were kept me moving with this Work ...the Life which was constantly detorating my confidence , my urge to improve my life .. my capaciy to demand and get what a person like me deserved ... but u i ignoring the omens .... may be the omens send by god in form of low increment , late promotion. negligible bonus and a super - duper dumbo of the century boss went unnoticed by me ... just becaz of the fear what i am remain unemployed ... what people will say ...........

But God being the grand papa get the things done in most unexpected way and thats why the drama called EA happeened ... a Movie like scene was created ,, strong promises made ... a euphorian life was build around ... and just when the purpose was achieved .... i took the step ... the scene completed and suddenly the whole setup vanished .. just like it happen with movie set and what left was two of us wondering what at all happened .. But the role has now reversed and 2 professional with around 9 + package updated their status to " soon to be unemployed  " ...... One thought was - " hey its a big conspirancy ,, we have been cheated .. why such events happen to us .. what will we do ... what will we say to others ....when we started enjoying our lifes where from these cloud of uncertainty surrounded us ...

But the other thought is - that the way god teaches us hard lesson ... when we dont take the pile on our own ... they make things happen in their own forceful style .. the medicine may taste bitter for some time .. but believe it will have positive effect afterward  .. like it always happens and my 26 years is full of such example as i always resisted change and was always forced to accept then as they were good for me ........

Momma ,.. other then grey & white shades ..life has other colors too and we together will see and overcome all such phases .. this will only make our life truly rememberable and our relation stronger and stronger

Transition from Spinster to Married women!!

Me -Its so difficult to be a house wife for working lady,i wont quit the job ever..
She -Thts gd thought ,bt after having kids these feelings stop haunting u!
Me -Does having kids make lyf happier or again we go deep into responsibilities?
She-U enjoy that phase the most!!It is where u do what u wish..with a sense of more feelings!
Me -N forget all sorrows encountered,coz there is sm1 fr whom u r everything
She- Exactly,u are becoming more samajhdaar!
Me -Every girl must b having this same feeling..its so difficult !!B4 marriage a girl wishes n shares every small thng with her BF/Fiance bt the transition after marriage makes her feel that no other person in this universe can be d best except her siblings n mom to share all the ups n downs..
She -This is called"Blood relation" n the biggest truth of lyf!
Me -U never told me all these are true,i wd hv learnt it b4hand only...truly I'll nvr want my daughter to marry or if even it happens,i'll make her live lyk princess ,where she wd nvr hav to change hrself fr any1!
She -Ever1 is governed by his/her destiny n we must accept that ...........

A small conversation from one person who had same ups n downs after marriage as m getting to know frm mine!
Marriage - A word which rotates lyf by 360 degrees..wht u want,the way u dress,the way u present personally/professionally,ur lyk's ,dislyk's,feelings towards any 1 ...........all these changes.

Then y do we marry??A question haunting my mind n unable to get the ans?
Is it just the social stigma or just the physical needs that makes it an unavoidable ritual ??
It has been true fr evry1 ,evry girl,i suppose where the cultures are very different in the 2 families .Truly,i could nvr understand before, as to y pa-ma had wantd a mod family with huge openness fr both of us..I understand that today!
I wz taught to respect elders ,serve them in their bad times,i carried this sense of feeling only n will alwz maintain this...bt there r so many doubts on me n that also by the ppl who are world for me!

Ya,I hv many responsibilities,job is on one hand n family on another..I will not quit my job,coz i want some part ,some requirements of mine to be just mine..I dnt wnt to regret later ...as i did till few yrs back!

I do understand that old ppl will nvr change their thoughts,n the best practice that m doing from recent few dz is - Just listen n forget , bt still it is not easy as their thoughts ,vn go upon comparison with others ,it hurts evn vn u are tryng to do ur best!This is the moment when it sucks,as if i'm mad..No one can change their mentality & i need to follow this n make a rule of lyf that this sort of behavior is expected n i need to still maintain !!!

I know except my blood relations,no 1 can understand these feelings ,I will be wrong fr rest all evn if i do the best of my mixed responsibilities..I wnt thru' very bad phase in professional lyf since the beginning of this yr n after all odds,some positive thngs hv been kept in my lap ,i need to wrk out n make my transition at office successful ,but hav to deal with both transitions simultaneously..
Well hope all this will make me more stronger as m not gods fav child who will bestow all goodies for me in lyf!!

Revised Draft Guidelines For 2000 MW Grid Connected Power plant

Ministry of New and renewable energy has posted 2nd Version of Draft Guidelines for Implementation of 2000 MW of Grid Connected Solar power plant .

These Project are planned under  " State Specific VGF scheme" .

Important points are :

1. These project would be state specific , so developer would not have freedom to put project at any location as done in previous scheme .
2. VGF has upper limit of INR 1 crore for Open category and INR 1.31 for DCR .... this is a marked reduction as compared to last VGF of INR 2.5 Crore .
3. Introduction of Escalation : INR 0.05 / Kwh per year escalation is introduced till tariff reaches INR 6.43 / Kwh . This clause would help in balancing out for Reduced VGF and immediate need of Fund for SECI .

Guidelines are open for comment till March 16 , 2015  .

Results PEDA solar tender 250 MW

The Financial Bid for 250 MW solar tender floated by Punjab Energy Development authority has been opened .

In Category 1 : Lowest Tariff was quoted by  Azure for 4 MW project at INR 7.33 and Highest by International Switch-gear at INR 7.65 .

Category 2 : Entire 100 MW was picked by 5 developers with Solairdirect being lowest at INR 6.88 for 24 MW  and Highest by Crocus Infra ( Part of Rattan Power)   at INR 7.42

Category 3: 3 developers again Solairdirect at INR 6.88 to Crocus at INR 7.56 .


Entire List can be downloaded from http://peda.gov.in/ .

It would be interesting to see how these project quoted below INR 7 would be feasible as Land Cost in Punjab varies from INR 15 -20 Lakh/acre being one of the costliest in INDIA . Most of these project are expected to be located in MANSA and Ahore region due to better radiation Availability .

Although PEDA has set a tight deadline of March 2016 for this project to avoid change in benchmark tariff but it would be interesting to watch what percent is actually implement considering Last bidding where only 60-75 % of project are commissioned even after 1.5 years of PPA signing .

Remembering DL 3S BL 8445

It's Not a number ...It's the name of my Companion ....My friend which drove me 80 Km a day to-fro Office . Friend which stick with me in all season of year ..... during 4 hours a day /Night ... Patiently listening to my idea's/frustration/conflicts happened at office /home/girlfriend .

A friend who has all the ears for any crap i want to share , in a course of 2 years we completed 36,000 Km ..  

On a deadful night , somebody stole my friend from me ...took away to the dark's ...and what was left was helmet which seemed to be crying along with me in the memories of our friend ... It left a space in my life , which can't be filled again .... Felt like a portion of my brain has been removed ...

It's 2 anniversary from the date we were separated but i can still recall exact picture of my friend and all the cut/bruises/dent on it .... May be time will heal the wounds but the journey would never be so joyful without my friend and the road , the pathways , the flyover's , the bumps we conquered together will speak the stories of our relation .
