Get out & start Living

I vivdly call that day when I met one of my friends.That was when I came to Bangalore for the first time on the job. I happened to join my first job in an IT organisation.So as usual parents' expectations were high & to add to my woes I was very slow in catching up the process at the organisation.so I was totally in a mess. Since by nature I am shy I could not mingle with people that easily.Even my roommates were frustrated at my attitude. One day he called me up to his place & we chatted about our career & how life is moving & how many girlfriends we have(U know this is the first question u are asked when you meet a long lost friend).Slowly I veered our discussions towards my worrys & woes.He tried to avoid as much as possible,because we just wanted to enjoy the time we are together.Suddenly he told me in a calmer voice."Bibhu what do you think??? You have only prblems. no one else???Start to look around & you will find every one has his cup of woes which is over brimming. But successful & happy are those people who learn to live with their difficulties & make the most of the life that has ben bestowed upon them by the almighty.Can't you see how lucky you are to be in the creamy layer of our society???Where people arre lucky enough to have a single meal for a day you have a job that pays handsomely,that makes you learn everyday,that challenges your intelligence sometimes.What else do you need????"I felt like a suddeen awakening.Is it the case???Why can't I se the sparkling light of the lightening in the darkness of the night. Am I missing out something everyday ????From that day I started telling myself in the morning "WHATEVER HAPPENS TODAY,LET IT HAPPEN. I PROMOSE TO LIVE THE DAY AS CHEERFULLY AS POSSIBLE,BECAUSE LIFE GIVES US A SINGLE CHANCE TO LIVE.IT MAKES US LEARNED EVERYDAY BY GIVING US EXPERIENCE.NO EXPERIENCE IS BAD OR GOOD. EVERY EXPERIENCE IS A VALUABLE ONE.SO DON"T BE AFRAID TO GO OUT AND START LIVING.BECAUSE BY THAT ONLY WE CAN KNOW WHAT LIVING IS ALL ABOUT "

Forgetting the way to live

Recently I met two of my friends. One was already into the job with me for the last three years. The other one recently joined my organisation & was hardly 1 month old.He came to visit mje some time back & my god what an enthusiasm he displayed.Bubbling with confidence he told me that he will stick to the organisation for the first one year & if he is not satisfied with the kind of job he will get or do then he will switch over or do some higher studies. Our talk was full of life & plans about how he will go about the job & why he likes this profession & all those kind of talks which a kid talks when it gets a new dress to wear. The other friend I sometimes go to tea with & our talks are full of the petty politics that are being played in our organisations, about someone who has gone on site & stayed there for last two years & still we are in the same place for the last two years. Sometimes it feels so boaring that in stead of sipping coffee & getting refreshment I feel like going to a lonely place & sit there calmly without thinking anything abt the job I am doin & the kind of profession I am into. See the contrasting features. One is just a new born kid on the block & the other one is a so to say in the youth of his career.When the person should be more energetic in his or her youth the opposite seems to be happening. Sometimes I wonder if it is the price ine has to pay for being in a profession which pays more & expects the same in the quanity of job also. Why can't we have organisations where we nurture the energy of the new born kids & utilize that to grow the organisations as well as the individuals??Why do we allow the kid to become a frowning adult?? The day we realise that & our organisations become aware of this on that day we will have people who will ride the horse of enthusiasm to conquer the world

Be worthy of your creation

Every single nindividual is a great creation of the almighty.Don't we know how painful it is to write a bug free program whyich will give us some output which we desire.Even when we know the outcome of the program we make a lot of mistakes to write the program.Imagine the difficulties that the creator faces to create these large no of human beings & that to the behaviour of the final entity is unknown.It is wonderful to think sometime if we could have known beforehand how we will behave or for that matter if every human being is passed a template of the activities that he is going to do & their outcomes.How great it will be to know how will we look and feel when we turn 50 mor for that matter 60.People will be knowing beforehand how their life will be.We can reduce the crime rate for the criminals will be knowing in advance that they will be commiting some unwanted things..But keeping aside these feel good factors dosn't this thesis decrease the charm and enjoyment that comes with life.Just for a second think ho would you behave if you know thye result of an activity that u r goin to do.Ther will be no motivation & also there will be lethargic & laziness all around.So it is better to live as it is now & savour the uncertainties that comes along with being alive.Let bus try to prove our worth to the almighty who has taken so much pain to create each one of us.

Life is beautiful,But you never know when it throws nasty surprises

I remember one phrase "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL".Any doubt regarding this??? No, not at all. But does this beauty last forever or it depends on the way you look at life. A soldier facing the bullet of enemies in the war field will surely give a kick, if this line is told to him.A person sitting with a huge bank balance & good house will always give an affirmative answer if the question is asked whether life is beautiful or not?? So see these are two indiaviduals who go through same cycles of life. Taking birth,living in a society,then facing death. But their response varies from one end to the other end.One thing is true for sure. Life is a celebration of experiences. No experience is good or bad in life. Every experience should be celebrated. Also one thing must be remembered here."Life gives only one chance for us to live". Then why to waste it in cribbing & thinking about the failures that we face sometime.It is already agreed that life is full of surprises,but isn't it enjoyable to face them. Can you feel the excitement when we were kids & had to appear for the tests.The excitement was palpable inside the school campus.But there was a difference between the pupil who was prepared to face any eventuality & pupil who didn't prepare well.So the student who prepared well had the last laugh & he was truly enjoying the excitement.But the other one who was less prepared didn't have the chance to do the same & was anxious. So to face the nasty surprises that life throws at us let uis be prepared & enjoy them. LET US SAVOUR LIFE BECAUSE IT IS TRULY A DESSERT

How much money does one require to have a cover over his head

Was searching for the right answer today.Got up early in the morning.Felt quite better today. Was down with cold since last two days.Thank god I am feeling much better to write something.Went to see a flat in the evening which was due to the sole reason that Debula bhai wanted to have a look at the site where Satya bhai had already booked one.Mama, me & the other two rode on a bike to the place which was two kms from Marathalli junction.My god what a price to pay for having a flat of 900 sq ft carpet area.30 lakhs approximately. No idea whether I will be able to buy a flat here till I am there in Infosys. Already mother & father had given their consent to move out of the village.Came back disheartened formthe site. After dinner surfed the net to find a suitable land or flat to buy in BBSR or Bangalore. Got some lists. Let me try my luck tomorrow. It is already 12 O clock & mama has slept.Anyway I will let you know what happenes.

Coding and uncoding

Back after a hiatus of two days when I was not able to think anything beyond codes. Now also I am not able to think anything beyond that.But I have taken it to myself to be disciplined at least in maintaining this small diary of mine.So I will write something whatever comes to my mind.Nothing important though.Coming back to code does not our life seems to be a cryptic code & success people are those who skillfully decode them with the help of the clue they get from their surroundings.Today there was a good discussion on bulletin board abt the great books & someone from the crowd wrote that 'ALCHEMIST' didn't have any stuff to be considered as a great read. I could not know why :( Was thinking of giving him a good answer but the difficulties in understanding thre code kept me busy throughout the day.Sometimes I really wonder is life all about going to office at 8 O clock in the morning & coming back at 9 O clock in the night,sipping that bad coffee & having those junk foods they sell at a premium because people working in IT are considered to be rich. Huh they had not seen my Bank balance I guess :). I badly need a break from all these. Where to go ???? Let me think.No where to go . people have changed bwith time & being a social animal we all have to adjust to this kind of living.So let me go & prepare for another day of circus.

Life And It's Intricacies

Man, can you imagine getting up early on a sunday morning & getting ready for the class when you should be sleeping nicely.Felt like shouting to god today as I had to do the same. If i would have known about all these harassments would not have joined MBA course. Still went to class with eyes loaded with sleep.Class was good in the sense that faculty teaches at the top of his voice which like a monster keeps the sleep away. Had my biz communication class today. I enjoy this class . You know whyb?????bcoz I get to know a lot of one liner. Like today :) what was that he told ?????Yup...... got it . "IF LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY EVERYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN A WINNER".Hmmm has a lot of validity. But is it the case ???? Do we feel that life is easier. Not at all. Life with all it's intricacies seems to be more difficult than the E=MC2 formula.The plight of an adult is more than that of a std. 1 child who has been recently introduced to algebra & has been asked in the exam to find the solution of a quadratic equation.The child can make nistakes & still reapper the exam but what about the individual who commits a mistake in the life. Does he or she get a second chance???Nopes . Remember life does not give a second chance. What we do is impromptue and once a mistake is committed it is done. We can learn that & move ahead & reapply that learning once we face that kind of situation. But I wonder if we face the same situation again and again in life.Huh heavy philosophy.... :). What to do ??? I have taken to Krishnamurthy's readings in a big way. Huh. Have to initiate my appraisal tomorrow. It is already 12 O clock & mama is tensed. What to do ??? I am also helpless. Let me c if I can help him out.Shashanka is bindaas guy. Had his share of enjoyment in evening & now he is literally snoring.got to go.

Smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

Management & Life

Had my mgmt. class in Jyothi Nowas College .What was the topic??? Let me recall :( yup it was about strtegic planning.Class was Okie. But the prof was getting tired while teaching :). Was wondering whether these funda.s are applicable to an organisation only. The strategic planning is about making a long term plan for an organisation (Kep It Simple Stupid).But can we apply these same things to how we manage our life.After all our life is an organisation . Right???? But how many of us plan for life. Don't we take life as it comes.... In morning I had a discussion with mama how do we manage our life ???? Do we need to take each day at a time or we keep planning for the future every time. Morning I had a realisation as I woke up from the bed that 'YOU GET OUT OF YOUR LIFE WHAT YOU ARE WORTH OF'. What an intresting line .... & amazingly it is true ....Life is all about getting what we desrve.. But does not that creates unnecessary confusion about who will decide the worth of us ??? & once decided is it constant ?? Can you imagine the confusion??? So better to take the life as it comes. Not to worry about the result but to do the duty in such a way that we feel satisfied that we have done the job to the perfection.

lost in the maze

yday had a chat with mgr.Talked my heart out. Was suggested to improve my asertiveness skill :( Was confused totally.Wanted to call someone up & cry on a considerate soul's shoulder. what the hail ???? I forgot that I am one of those unfortunate souls who are destined to walk alone on the path of life.By the way staying single has it's advantage also.U never ned to worry what the other person is doing??Remeber the quote from 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari".IF YOU CARE FOR OTHER'S DREAMS WHERE IS THE TIME FOR YOUR OWN DREAM.Huh why am I writing all these stuffs ? Perhaps frustrated with the way life is moving..... Still wondering where do I stand?Life seems to be a maze & I am lost.Lost so much that sleep has become a rare commodity for me.Sometimes it is frustrating not to get it easily.But mama is having a good sleep nowdays.Mama is a database man.He always talks in terms of database.Ought to be(as he is one of those DBAs).ha ha ha.Don't know what he will say when he will see this.But he is a perfect lover's material.Mami is lucky in that sense.Shashanka(My other roommate) , he is also having a nice sleep.Though I don't like him sometimes but I admire him.Don't know how he caries on after so many heart breaks.Perhaps he has got a solution for that.I need to ask that to him. He had a gud day today.Got to know that he will be goin to USA sometime this month or next month.We will have more snickers in our freeze this time provided he spares some from his friends ;). Debendra bhai has become a perfect family material.But can't help it as Bhauja is not well.Hmmm forgot to go to hospital today evening he asked me to come.Got to go.... It is already 2 O clock in the night ,I am using mama's Laptop.He will beat me up ;)...... A lot of things to study and a lot of things to do...... .
