Daily Diary (DD) - Day 26 of 2018

2306hrs:

Didn't get up early as needed. I actually got up at 1430hrs! Did try and make up for lost time though.

Despite that, there is so much pending (to do) in an environment where the nature of my work necessitates that I remain ahead, by ensuring all data and activity captured hitherto is organised and archived in an easily retrievable manner. Admittedly, that is not the case and the pile of 'to do' tasks gets higher every day.

A certain elusive balance in all aspects of life is strained for and when matters are not in sync, certain aspects of your work lag behind and ultimately the public suffers. Working in public interest is difficult as it is and if one is not able to successfully make efficient use of time at their disposal, a tragedy can emerge.

There are always positives to build on though. The daily posting of this blog is a much anticipated activity that had been in the pipeline for years. 26 days into 2018 and it is almost certainly a permanent feature of my typical day. My life will revolve around it gradually and an Audio version in Urdu of the blog will also be a daily reality very soon. Since, most of our people seldom read English - at least not in a serious sense - not many more read Urdu but a considerable portion of my co-citizens are more likely listen to an audio clip in Urdu (or even Pahaari). Perhaps that is one of the reasons why most of us are described as 'Sunni' Muslims here. There may be more than a joke in that!
