End of a weekend is not a sad news for me as new challenges await at work in the forthcoming weeks. Yet another session of planning, few weeks of work and another weekend of celebrating accomplishment. That is Agile methodology!

This project stretched a bit far too long because of the greatest govt that Punjab has ever been gifted.

opportunity for the conversation with the abstract power and shared my requests, thanks and wishes for myself, family and some special friends at the same time strength for accepting all that is granted of it as it is. They call it Bhana.Later had Langar and a quick return.
Anyways, enjoyed the 20 KM ride up and down as well.
With millions of candles lit up on the Birthday of Sri Gur Nanak Dev Ji across the globe, I hope some of us will be blessed with the divine halo of the Almighty's infinite glow and lead ourselves closer to sanity, wisdom and contentment that the world is missing these days.

May the light prevail. Good Night.
