It's uphill now....

... The same day 'she' hit the jackpot, 'her' master too hit a milestone.
Hitting 9 years of professional life, it has been one cherishing journey so far.

However, it's now that the actual uphill will start.... the expectations will now rise from both sides - the employer as well as the employee. It is gonna be fun as well as challenging going ahead...

Looking forward to more milestones in multiples of 9!

'She' hit jackpot today...

... No, am not talking about my wife. She has already hit a jackpot with me - at least that is what I believe :)

This is the Maruti Suzuki WagonR that I drive. The 6.5 years old baby clocked 77777 kms today.

Along the way it has done innumerable Pune-Mumbai-Pune trips, a few trips to Goa, Mahableshwar, Diveagar, Shirdi and a trip to Aurangabad. 

What remains on 'her' and my wishlist is an interstate trip to coastal Karnataka and another one to Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. 

Being so highly reliable all the way without any major breakdown enroutes, she has been as dependable as ever.
She does show signs of aging with rattles on bad roads but it still has a punch in the belly when revved in the 'sweet' zone...

2 interesting events in its history, can be recollected now, which I have already blogged here and here.

Looking forward to 100K kms after which probably it would be thought of as a spare car. That milestone would be one childhood dream come true for me :)

Upgraded my Nokia...

... after a long stint of time, and lot of criticisms from wifey on my old Nokia classic phone, I finally 'upgraded' a few weeks back. The reason for upgrade was not criticisms from wifey or close friends, but because the Nokia was conked to such an extent that every time I tried opening a message in the inbox, it used to re-boot.
It was a nice phone, and worked for me quite well especially with the Opera Mini I'd installed on it for browsing FB and occasionally checking GMail at work.

The 'upgrade' is a much better one with a few features more than on the Nokia. It is the best that could come at that price and can beat some big players hands down in the segment.

Here is what I have now! :)

New wine in old bottle

Pun intended on that of course...

And that is what I call, when you get a new lease of life at an old place. I cannot be more specific here for professional reasons, but it has something to do with my recent post.

Wishing myself lot of luck as I turn onto some new wine in an older bottle...
