I can see clearly now...

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies


The only thing is I don't see blue skies. For one its raining heavily for the past 3 days. Past few days have been as usual hectic, with the company setting up, and 'Running shoes' developing not so smoothly, its been a roller-coaster ride (as expected, of course). In the middle of it, we had 2 wonderful meetings on Sunday. The sheer joy and the passion of our mothers and aunts' in putting together such an occasion is admirable and tremendously inspiring to say the least! The rain was hardly a deterrent and so many women turned up, braving the storm and the water-clogging shows how, when you have the spirit to challenge and the spirit to seek happiness, nothing can be anobstacle. Happiness resides within each one of us and its an amazing sensation! The women's division members of our organisation (a global NGO) really proved that they are living for a true cause- a mission to change the world through their own lives. I just hope some of the youth of today take a page out of this.

So of course, I gave duty at the meetings- very fortunate on my part. Though the evening meeting was also bit embarrasing to say the least- my dear mother started speaking about me and how I was this n that n all that before, and how through her own life-transformation she hsa brought about such a change not only in me, but in the whole family order... Anyways it was fun too. :D

But work work n work... The rains have pretty much brought all my work to a standstill. Rabin, the guy who works in my office is brave- he came all the way from way out of town, in spite of the raging storm. Will have to appreciate that sometime. However, the printing is not working out- cos of the rains the print isn't drying as fast as it should and with the exhibition approaching, ts imperaive that the invitations are sent out asap - today would have been a good day to do that. The pace at which the office is being fixed is also frustrating. The plumbing guys need to work outside and cos of the rains they 
can't of course. Let's see.. right now the entire plumbing- bit of the electrical stuff, the paint, and the carpentry is left. After which the office will be all set for proper business. Its good learning for me - as I plan on setting up my own company very soon.. Aah my dream project.
Anyways the rains are being a damper.
I generally am a fan of the rains. It makes me feel fresh - almost as if the sins of Man are washed away- a new lease of life given with every drop- a new sound created by every surface the rain touches, a new reason to smile, a new sensation amidst the old familiarity of love-worn faces. I can see clearly now with the rain falling on me.... The obstacles will always be there... The dark clouds seem brighter today.

Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared...
