"Something about office"

Early morning travel, Adigas breakfast, morning working hours, then tea break, again work, lunch time , then the "tree" meeting with team, then again back to work, noon tea break, final work till the clock ticks 5 to leave for the day - - - a very very brief outline of my course at office.

Mail forwards

Forwarded mails are the most common these days especially in the curriculum of an IT professional. Bulk of these usually irritate us but there are many which could contain momentous information. Pictures, facts, humor, comparison, criticism, forecasts, antediluvian things are some examples of the types of these. Lack of work , boredum at work are overcome by these mails. Not all of them assume the same importance, there can even be some nonsense mails which irritate you. My recent obsession is reading up these mails and forwarding those to many.

Reasons 'Why' people do not share their knowledge

There are many reasons for people to show no communion towards knowledge. Some of them include :

>Firstly they are not confident of the knowledge they have and are quite introverted

>Sharing of knowledge leads to "loss of importance" when it becomes a common pool

>They are aware of the knowledge they have and consider it unnecessary to share among others as they are able to accomplish tasks

>Some others consider it a waste of time

Psychiatrists

Came across this in some blog, felt interested so i have posted it :


How do two psychiatrists greet each other?

''You are fine, how am I?''

Mathematics affinity

How many ever new subjects I have come across, I am still enamored by the beauty of mathematics. I had this pertinacious feeling of getting every problem 'first' and 'right'. I found myself trying out new , craziest methods of solving questions .
First it is to do with numbers and number system... next the Algebra :
"Algebra is a cobra which makes you gabra" , all to do just with those a, b, c, d alphabets.
geometry with those angles and triangles led my mind to mad-angles. Later added up with the "theta" concept, all were equally interesting . This affinity later tuned to puzzle solving. I even harried quite few of my buddies to solve puzzles. Well if you are ready , here goes one :

" get the result of 88 by using only four 4's "

Stars and galaxies

From the times I was a tiddler I had a great interest in stars and galaxies. This admiration actually started when once I had been to a small hamlet where my grandparents stay. At nights we had to doze outside the abode to beat out the stifling heat. There, when I just laid my head on pillow , the sky was directly overhead with stars spread all around far and wide. Inbetween a beautiful, shining, calm, titillating moon appeared to rule all these stars.
I had been to a Planetarium once to view the virtual effect of all the stars and galaxies. There they happened to show the various galaxies identified, our own galaxy The Milky Way and various nearby galaxies. They also showed various constellations identified and the beliefs behind them.
At class 10th, if I have not mistaken, we had a chapter on stars and galaxies. I still cannot block out a sentence from my mind - "There are more stars in the Universe than all the grains of sand on the earth". I had stopped a breath at the sight of that sentence. I really wonder how this could all happen. This also led me to compare and contrast the minuteness of life on earth to the vastness of the Universe.
The sidereal system has had a lasting effect on me and would continue in the future too

Commonsense supercedes the five senses

Everyone would have heard of the phrases -"Don't you have common sense?" or "Don't you have sense?" atleast once in their life time. Sometimes you literally are frantic with the things around you so your common sense assumes insignificance. Recent political developments in our state also tend to show the lack of common sense among our elected leaders.
You also tend to hear - "Does it make sense?" which has the connotation of the situation faced being completely non-sense. Hence it(common sense) is one of the most desired quality expected out of anyone and it overtakes the other five senses too.

Accolades and Diatribes

When success is driving you , you are filled with accolades, whatever you do is right
When failure strikes you, diatribes surround you, even if everything you did was right

The past is no predictor of the future

If you think you have done great deeds in the past and take up that as a basis to predict your future success then you are misguided. The situation is no longer the same, its been cultivated. The hiatus between the past and future helps you to germinate to the surroundings. If you are not ready to accept this truth, then your future is dilapidated.

the greatest depth

I saw this only once....
Nothing is so ever profound....
I never knew of this before....
Never felt it later too....
The intensity was too high....
The sharpness of your eyes....
Penetrated me completely....
You knew this too...
Never did you admit....
Nor I.....

Grueling travel

Traffic on roads has extended beyond control. Whether you drive or you travel by vehicle you are a victim of this stress. Cacophony of the horns, thick black smoke from emission pipes, people haphazardly crossing inbetween, pits on roads...... you finally manage to elude from all these and end up getting caught at a traffic signal!!! such pathos for all those people who manage to battle up with the traffic with forbearance

Conundrum

don't try to identify other person's mistakes, because they would correct their mistakes and will curse you for the rest of their life for pointing their mistakes

Dream "high"

I am one person of the kind who sleeps heavily. I found the dream start flitting through my mind. I find myself soaring high and high into the unknown space, beyond the earth, beyond the sky. The path never ended but was not seeable too. After a while later i found to have struck an apogee. Then there came a gust of wind like a maelstorm which suddenly pushed me from that point . I see myself drooping down and down and down impaling the air like a bow . I now could clearly see heavy thorny land in front of me . Eyes filled with affright, hands trembling, legs shaking and body jerking-Now i knew nothing could save me, I tried to remember all good things, all good people , also the mistakes i committed towards them, but it was too late, nothing left. The moment of end approached too near, suddenly!!!! a clamor!!! my alarm rang heavily ...... slowly I opened my eyes which still found the surrounding incredible. Hands still weak from the effect took considerable time to handle the alarm. Soon i could hear dulcet voice of my mom from kitchen. I expressed an ejaculation at that, started walking slowly out of my room doddering

what's this in my hand??

Something new, Something we craved for in the past four years, something the world is rotating around, something which promotes miracles, something which gives you boldness, something which gives you dignity, something which will never satisfy you, something which promotes lot of tensions, something which you get in the corporate world, something which made Bang an IT city, something which your relatives look for, . . . that 'something' is in my hands today!!

Emotional addiction

I have always known to have been a strong person from within but rather from past three years I find myself contradicting it. This nuance was caused due to me meeting a person three years back. I still cannot forget the eyes which beholded me . They worked like an opiate to capture my emotions. I never could take up an audacious decision for myself regarding this. As a result of this the entire matter became dilapidated but till today i feel that i have shown up severe chicanery towards myself

Happiness associated with the 'feeling of completion'

Completion of tasks or work always leads to complacency. Completion of school, completion of college, completion of degree each tend to add brick by brick to build a human being. These completions are essential for an individual to achieve great happiness. Completion of an exam, used to provide a lot of relief and happiness during good old school days.
The new item added to this cart is - completion of a day, then a week, furthermore a month in office. There is a specialty associated with completion of a month in workplace as you get money and debit card into your hands.
Software engineers are known for their frequent job switches' hence their stay in a company, even for a month is valued. Although completion is good in a sense, it also reminds of more responsibilities.
Happiness at various culminations is not the same. The purity of happiness from childhood to present situation is drastically reduced. Change has influenced happiness too. . .

Equanimity

Stress, strain and pressure give a perfect description of modern life trends. In an attempt to become a paragon multi path ways are preferred, which lead to tense situations. Success is inversely proportional to tension.
This can actually be illustrated with the recent victory in the Twenty20 cricket match by Indian team. During the tense situations in the last overs the captain of the team maintained his equanimity while the batsman from the opposing team gave up himself to stress and tension , leading to a wrong decision of hitting a shot. This cost them a victory.

As people tend to grow to higher positions they need to manage large number of things, this puts them under pressure. All these situations can be easily faced with equanimity of mind.

Equanimity is usually not easy to achieve when the situation is beyond control. Various other options can be perceived in this regard. Eg Yoga, meditation . Even a pleasant sleep or a small walk can achieve calmness when executed at the right times.

Thus the great pillar stone for success is composure and equanimity.

Cell phone woes

Now that we see cell phones in everyone's hand its high time i wrote a post on it. Cell phones day by day are being upgraded with new features and so are the woes associated with them. Pre-paid customers have one kind of problem while their counterpart postpaid people have different kind of problem , all to do with currency. Upon all this the network does not remain stable.

I make a call to a friend to thank him for his help...
me: hello how r u?
frnd: hi! can u hear?
[line disconnected]
[Call again]
me: hi again, i hope u r able to hear
frnd:ya quite better
me: actually i called up to thank you for the information u provided
frnd: the network is really bad today
me :can u hear what i say?
frnd: ya , now i am able to hear. How r u doing?
me:i am doing fine. i called up to tell u ....[line disconnected]
[call again]
frnd: I think lets talk some other time, its not quite audible at all
me:...oh..ok fine. lets talk some other time, bye

There is one more problem associated with cell phone called the "CELL PHONE SYNDROME"
You can feel the phone ringing even the phone is not actually doing it. You feel to have got a message although nothing happened. This problem seemed to have been occurring most commonly as i happened to read it in a newspaper.

One more woe is that when you are quite expecting some important call you get a call from the subscriber with a list of callertunes or ringtones. It fills me with anger to the core. But the next time when you neglect a call it would surely be an important call from your manager or someone.

One more associated problem i don't really understand is why the hell these phone manufacturers make the buttons so complicated. As the number of features increase, the path to reach the basic facilities of cell phone like making a call and messaging become more complicated.

The problems go on and on with no end at all. But still you cannot spend a day without your cellphone :)

Latitude

Compared to the parents of my friends I find my parents giving me a lot of latitude regarding making friends, spending money & time. Without having realised this, for past so many years I have just led a life in confinement. I castigate myself severely for this. I have missed a lot of friendships due to this nature of mine. I hesitate myself of the days when i never spoke to many people due to my introvert nature. Now that i have improved in speaking up with people i find a lot of improvements in my surrounding environment. I feel free to approach anyone, this has filled in a lot of confidence in me. This audacious nature has helped me achieve great things and hope it does in the future too.
