still I won't hesitate to Apologize to those whose mails or calls may have slipped my attention

the
REASON ---> Ever Since I donned the
mantle of Project Manager in a Reputed
Firm, I was assigned on a project to one of the Top Pharmaceutical companies in the Country at
HYDERABAD .
Famous for its Delicious Dum Biryani , Hyderabad is usually
called the land of Nizam ! but
!! if you throw a stone in any direction
, it is bound to hit either a Rao or a Reddy 
and mark my words ! They are all friendly and
helpful if you approach them right 
and mark my words ! They are all friendly and
helpful if you approach them right Very few know that the name Hyderabad means "Hyder's abode" or "lion city", derived from the Persian/Urdu words hyder (Lion) and ābād (City or abode). So this Lion was Busy as a BEE for the last 6 months in the Lion City , 10x7 manning two Projects with a dedicated team of Engineers from Switzerland and India and you all very well know that whatever the Lion does ! He does it with Precision , Diligence and Assiduity
Some
of my Angler buddies from Hyderabad did
make plans for my fishing in Hyderabad but Sadly I couldn't spare the Time , 
my Fishing Bug was forced to hibernate ,

This is how the Lion looks in the Corporate World
Here are the pics of my favourite Firangi Engineers
After 6 months the projects were smoothly on track nearing completion before the allotted Date and by now I was now dying to shake that rod & dip my lures in saltwater , have that blast of salty breeze on my face . It was now confirmed that I was suffering from Acute deficiency of Vitamin-SEA I decided to attend to other clients whose future projects were also in the pipeline up for grabs and very slyly I chose a Company which was located closer to the sea somewhere in Maharashtra
called them up fixed a meeting time, took the
next flight to Mumbai picked up my rod and a handful of select lures, despite the tight schedule , I was firmly determined to squeeze in a couple hrs of fishing timeHence with the confidence of a Young Lad and Experience of an Old Man , I set out on a Business cum fishing trip
Leaving home early to avoid the traffic on
road, my hand was always in the Cookie box, this was my breakfast on the road ,
reached the place in the afternoon, had lunch and set out for the Meeting with
Only one Topic in the back of my Mind ---> FISHING ---> FISHING &
FISHING LOL this was the first time I was mixing Business
with Pleasure and I had to mix it well
so that no one finds out about it !! this trip shouldn’t look Fishy at
all !! even though it is lol…….
It just takes 10mins for the Transformation from a Gentleman to a Ferocious Hunter
Finished the Meeting dashed to the hotel changed my dress into that of a hunter,
another point of rendezvous this time it was with the unknown Beauties of the
water world and my intentions were very, very knotty !! To hook anything that swims underwater (
LOL)
As I drove closer to the Sea , I switched off the Air conditioner , rolled down the glasses and started to take deep long breaths . for 6 long months I had terribly missed these Negative ions that keep me Positive and now I wanted to inhale them as much as I can in the very limited time at hand
My mood
was instantly enhanced with the first salty draught that entered the car , Once
on the seashore the
atmosphere there was conveying serenity and erudition
immediately I felt like Home ! The
SEA was my School and also my Workshop , here I learned Patience and all the Tricks of the trade thru the endless Trials
& countless Errors that
went in to the making of an angler whom you all know by the name 
Lionheart
The
glittering water danced in my eyes under the setting sunlight, I was a happy
man ,
Prepared
my tackle and declared the WAR !!
the Cowardly Crabs took notice of the prowling Lion and quietly slipped in to
the water and alerted everyone, as expected !! 
Once again the faint-heartedly Timorous
Bulky Big Beauties of the water world were afraid to face me, they were well
aware of my Love & Lust for their Fishy Flesh 
instead they sent their immature subordinates to mollify and propitiate
me
With
hardly an hour left for sunset ! so this time there was no time for foreplay in the luring game, I immediately began the hooking ……….
when
the sun came down and kissed the sea goodbye , I too decided to leave the place
driving towards Mumbai . Pssst.. I will report sick for the next two days (till
I am stuffed up to the gills with fish tikkas ) and then with a wicked wolfish
grin will quietly take the next flight to Hyder’s Abode / Lion City or Hyderabad
whatever you may call it ;-P
A Super Recharged and Refreshed Lion is back on the return flight to lion-city Hyderabad
