If you haven’t read my previous blog post regarding Is She the “One”?, please read it first.

This will be really short. There is nothing much to say about it.

Compartment Session didn’t help as I couldn’t discuss it there.

Well I don’t want to look back to my life and think “I could have taken my chances then…”. So I let her know what this I think about her. The reply was that she is committed. Hard Luck for me…

That ends this scene here.

After this I had made a call to office. Some office issues came up; That kept me so occupied…

Life is all about priorities…

Some radical changes in my life can come soon, I’m thinking over it…

I’ve been in Tata Jagriti Yatra 2009 for the last 10 days. This turned out to be the awesome trip i ever had. The most interesting thing about the trip was that there was around 140 female yatris in the trip. If I narrow down the girls whom I should focus on in terms of looking for my life partner, I think I’ll have a minimum of 100 girls falling into that category. . Usually when ever i go anywhere, I end up in seeing some very special girls. There are a couple of really good girls in the trip also.

The question that disturbs me always is to be single or not for some more amount of time? Being in a relation some time before, what i learnt was never hurry for a long-term relationship…

So I want to take it lightly actually, but having someone really special on the other end the choice becomes really difficult. Should I let her know my thoughts? Will she be the one?

I think the people in my group will be able to figure out what I should do? So waiting for the compartment session to begin…

As I have mentioned before I’m so much excited about Tata Jagriti Yatra. I started adding people from Tata Jagriti Yatra facebook page in my profile and getting in touch with them before the trip. The awesomeness of knowing people and getting into the yatra is building every moment. I don’t know if there is anything more exciting so far for me. I still remember when I read about Tata Jagriti Yatra when i went for a product demo at Wayanad, It was in Mathrubhumi Yatra I think. I was so excited about it that, i registered for it. After good amount of excitement, trouble and all I’m on board for TJY 2009.

I have done some good shopping for TJY 2009. Prepared some checklist and bought new dresses and all. The hand book given by TJY team really helped. Flight tickets has been booked before, this time I’m boarding from Calicut International Airport and In Jetlite Airways, trying every possible option with it .

The only sad thing I found is that I can’t be with my team ioss when we celebrate First Anniversary of our baby Infinite Open Source Solutions. That feeling is killing me like anything. But I can’t afford to loose TJY 2009, My team is there for my disposal at all time. This is what life is all about… Priorities…

Well that’s all for now. Train is about to reach Kannur. This is good, Non stop from Calicut to Kannur, Should try this train whenever it is there…

I had applied for Tata Jagriti Yatra 2009 which is an annual train journey that takes hundreds of India’s highly motivated youth on an eighteen day national odyssey, introducing them to unsung heroes of India. The aim is to awaken the spirit of entrepreneurship – both social and economic – within India’s youth by exposing them to individuals and institutions that are developing unique solutions to India’s challenges. Through this national event they have begun to inspire the youth of India to lead and develop institutions both nationally and within their communities.

The yatra fee for the journey is Rs. 32,000/-. After reviewing my application and profile Tata Jagriti Yatra team has given me a part sponsorship of Rs. 17,000/-. So now I’m looking for someone who can sponsor the rest of the amount which is Rs, 15,000/-. Being an independent entrepreneur of only 23 and without any life savings so far, I will not be able to afford the fee for the yatra. It will be great if you can suggest someone who can sponsor me for the same.
