Turmoil and more turmoil





Yes writing after long time and so much happening after 1st week of august. Somehow the things I learnt during the past few months were;

You need lot of determination and zeal to write a daily or a frequent blog, (I really admire Amitabh for writing the daily blog in such a hectic schedule)

Also, the more I want to stay away from Rotary the more it is chasing me (or to be frank involving me)

The search for ‘purpose of life’ is getting more distracted then ever before and I am still not out of blocks for my search.

Past two months has tested my relationships in rotary, as if to see if I can come out with flying color in relationship test.

And finally, how winning can fail to bring joy is something inexplicable?

Let me categorize the events unfolding in past weeks

RID3140 world

The utmost turmoil one can wish for happened in our rid3140 world. Two dialogues aptly convey the happenings. Mrs NI, wife of Dr BI, remarked ‘perhaps it is not in our destiny to be DG’. And local AG phoning me and asking ‘why things don’t happen at top level as you wish?’

Yes our AG with help of BD wrestled the DGN from DR BI. It was against all PDG nomination and defying the group opinion. In fact I had specifically told both AG and BD that ‘u r rocking the boat of our group. In case u want to rock it then have the power and confidence to stabilize it’.

Now the boat has been rocked but has the duo power to stabilize the boat and direct it towards our predetermined objectives? Only Incoming days will answer the question

The more I wonder on these happening, the more I am disappointed at the turn of events. AG may have been the first choice of some from our group but all of them would not have liked AG to win this way. I personally feel betrayed and would blame MB for such a situation. His double cross games made our senior PDGs lose their face and in turn our group becoming laughing stock of rid3140.

But who is to be blamed for this fiasco? Our PDGs, whom I was repeatedly telling to have a transparent dialogue with eligible candidates? Or BD trying to ensure that our groups power centre shifts to him. Or AG who erroneously feels that he has been aggrieved party and also for feeling that the position was his for taking? Or I should be blame myself for laying low instead of taking proactive stand and ensuring settlement within group?

Perhaps there may be a challenge and the coming days will be like Bigg Boss serial where friends turn against each other, as days go by. Indeed we are heading into turbulent times. And hence my opening remark; ‘And finally, how winning can also bring no joy is something inexplicable?’

How it will end? ‘Que sera sera, the future is not for us to see’
