Where do you see yourselves in 5 years ... ?

This question was asked to me in my interview for the first job and I remember having said ... I want to contribute to the company and grow with it. I have switched my job from my first one which means I just met part of the deal ... grow not with the same company but with another one. The next five years ... am not sure where I am going to be but it should be on similar lines of growing with the company.

Last 2 days in London never gave me a feeling as if I am back home ... I need some more time to get back to normalcy. Oxford memories are still around ... and the pressure is piling up on me to deliver what I have tasked upon myself.

Saturday was spent mostly at home planning for next week, brainstorming ideas at home/ the building/ at work, checking on all non-organic stuff at home (thought of phasing them out slowly but half of them are already expired making it easy), cleaning the fish tank, reading loads and loads of articles around organic / sustainable food and the initiatives done by some individuals / corporations to reduce their footprint. I did manage to go for my 5 miler at a good pace around the Isle and Greenwich although it was raining. I did manage to exhaust (non-organic ) sabudaana khichdi which lasted the whole saturday and sunday brunch.

Sunday was spent again reading stuff and checking on vegetable boxes in London with two really good schemes one run by growing communities (http://www.growingcommunities.org/box-scheme/order.php) and the other by River ford (http://www.riverford.co.uk/) but I prefer the growing communities as they do not do home delivery. I prefer to pick up the box myself by cycling 5 miles from office. Decent workout and reduced foot print too :). The pick up point is Hackney city farm which is this small a very beautiful farm in the centre of the city. I checked on a few happy pigs , hens, goats, donkey and some cute rabbits. The staff were very friendly and did see scope for volunteer opportunities and individual and corporate level.

Went to santo's place and tried some marathi with Arjun but ... it has become so crappy that I should now stop killing marathi. Ambu joined us in sometime and we both left for The Gun to have a Double JD to celebrate our 5 years in the corporate world. In all it means that I have missed my long run for the weekend ... which means on top of the manic monday I have another 8 miles to run. Wishing myself loads and loads of luck for tomorrow to face the music on Climate change and GPS issues alike.
