To Find a Star

Happy New Year!!! It's 2020!


Here’s a star for you – Starfish from Kite Beach at Umm Suqeim, Dubai

Update: Went for a short 1 week trip to Tunisia at the end of 2019. Not really planned at all. It’s just that Tunisia is visa-free for both Indians and Malaysians! I had no guide books. (No, not even Lonely Planet had one on Tunisia that could be bought online. They might have an old book, before the Tunisian Revolution of 2011). But we had a helluva time. Anu’s happy. The kids are happy. Bliss! What more can I say?

At work though, it’s a completely different story. The ITS2020-1B Project has a Project Manager who cannot represent the Company or Project in the face of the Consultants and Client. The official Company’s representative for the Project for the time being is the friggin Deputy Project Manager (…yours truly, ahem). Internally, it is still the PM in charge. Our Company said my primary responsibility is still the Abu Dhabi Airport Project, and I only have to be the face of the Company for the ITS2020-1B Project. But to be the face, I have to know all, and in the eyes of the Client (who is no other than the Government of Dubai), I am in friggin charge. If anything goes wrong, it is my friggin neck! Have been back at work for a week now, and I’m over my head with work!!! Hundreds of emails still in my friggin mailbox, although I’ve been back at work for a whole week now.

What do I blog now? I’ve not downloaded the Tunisian photos… OK, how about continuing with the beach photos? So, here's a beach from home… Enjoy!
