Small life


Hmmn… it’s been a year I turned sadhu baba preaching you all the little things I have learnt…
Some irrelevant… some without lessons… some profound…
When I asked some of my friends about… whether they read my blog???
They said “Ya, dude I’m reading it all…. The articles have been improving and guess you are a pro now…”
After hearing such soothing comments… I wanted to know what he liked…
After I heard the answer, I got to know that he read it may be some 4 months back  but not followed it thereafter…
I don’t think it’s his fault and not rather mine… It’s how we perceive… that counts…. Nothing else…
Let’s see how we perceive with an example…
There is ditch in front of you… and you are driving your bike towards it. What would you do???
A)     Apply brake, so that ditch does not make you ditch
B)      Drive faster, so that you jump over the ditch
C)      Look for escape from ditch, skimming adjacent to it
D)     Get ready to feel the thud
If you are choosing option A, you are normal, responsible
If you choose option B, you are adventurous, irresponsible
If you choose option C, you are optimist, silent killer
If you choose option D, you are obedient, honest, confused
If you have other answer… you are logical, coward…

Most of us are messed up with this small life… then is it necessary to discuss on how to drive bike over ditch??? Hmnn… I say, YES
There are no big things in life… small actions produce big impact… The above example tells u d same…
One more example, I was asked, what love is?
I asked her back… “What do you think?” she replied “I think love is something which makes you die for one another”
Nice, it’s really a great bond which can make you die for other and make your life terrible without the other….
I replied…. “Sometime back my view was an equation”
Love=friendship+sex
Now, love is just love!!! The + symbol in above equation is love…
Again, I’m preaching right??? It’s the easiest thing… there are many who preach but to follow is tough job, leadership is easy than following, being self is important than being professionalwhat you know is important than what you don’t know…. I guess I make some sense or is it still non-sense...???

Comment

"Sorry mumbai you aren't better than mumbai"
Note: Read above article before continuing
The below article... sorry probably a comment to one of guest articles onlifezlesson.in "Sorry mumbai you aren't better than mumbai" .... Hmnn.. I seriously did not expect such a lengthy comment... thanks to sen... for such informative comment... nicely written... $#it happens.... 
Well, the 2 cities cannot be compared. Delhi cannot be Indias Financial hub (as it simply cannot rival Mumbais muscle power in terms of money & trade) while Mumbai cannot be Delhi (Cos political capitals have to be a show peice, which Mumbai isnt). There are few cities globally who are financial & commercial hub (eg - Tokyo, London etc) otherwise Financial hub generally are a neglected lot over political hub rivals(be it Newyork vs Washington, Karachi Vs Islamabad, Indore over Bhopal). There are few smart govts who have made even their financial hubs a show peice (eg Shanghai in China). Yes we need a great political capital but the country cannot progress w/o a strong finacial hub. Mumbai may still be numro uno but clearly is crumbling ..we must remember that if Mumbai crumbles, our aims of being an economic super power will be slowed. No city can match Mumbai in terms of being a melting pot of so many things. Yes we seen a lot of stuff coming up at Delhi (airport, roads, boulevards, metros etc) but clearly it is still a controlled economy (for political reason). Some of the best construction happens not within the perimeter of Delhi but in neighbouring Gurgaon or Noida. Most of the companies are located in Gurgaon, as a result white collared workforce in Delhi travel to Gurgaon for work. Some of the best malls are in Gurgaon or Noida. Some of the best construction projects happens in Gurgaon or Noida. This is not with Mumbai ..Mumbai houses everything within city limits. Be it best of clubs, bars, restaurants, contruction projects, corporates! ..and yes even the night life. It is these parameters that makes Mumbai a magnet over its neighbouring cities, making people to come to work or enjoy nightlife. I always say that Delhi is a city built by the govt of India, while Mumbai is a city built by the people of India. We need a global financial centre to realise our dream of an ecnomic super power and Mumbai is the only Indian city to make it happen. Negligence of it will cost us deeply.
Sorry sen, if  i did not acknowledge you about this... but i could not stop sharing it..... will drop you mail for dis ;)

Services Vs Industry


India’s service sector is growing at rate of 34% (23 from IT and 11 % from rest) andindustry at around 10-14%
Why?
1)      We would give 30 Rs tip to waiter(for his service with smile) rather than 1 rupee to beggar(not all)
2)      One prefers DELL to many for the  service it offers on a single call to customer care
Now, providing a service is not an easy thing, one has to smile at every fool... and understand needs of client to serve him and smile at him even though he scolds you or simply f**k u…
Smiling is easy, we get it naturally by looking at kids but a false smile is difficult toserve
The very logical thing why service industry is growing at pace is…. It is need of the hour… and we too get paid well… party well…
But then… if everything’s fine why services not a dream job for any one???
Coz…
“You are stick to serve… never get served”
Now, let’s look into industry… an industry is a place where people form a team not just to understand process but also people around which I guess is required…
Advantages:
1)      Meet people
2)      Work your a** out instead sitting in front of computer
What do the above advantages point to…?
“This guy is from industry for sure”
Yea, im from industry… but I had been to services… too..
Let me share the insights of industry which none would have ever shared with you….
1)      With people involves politics… better be careful with it
2)      With people there is corruption
3)      With people there is ego
4)      With people there is hatred
5)      With people there are responsibilities
6)      With people there is delay
7)      With people there are errors
But, isn’t it skeptical to just conclude saying now that services is better than industry… or viceversa…
Both have their places…. For beginner its industry that makes him mature… and maturity (expert) delivers better service….
Now, lets us explore the two dimensions together... why can't we have place where in
industry looks into service and
service into industry...
This is the emerging area... where the customer not only needs the best at best price... also he needs it with good service... 
So, Industries co-relate with services to excel....
Tata group, Wipro stands as example for it....
Google, Microsoft also falls into same category....

Make UP!!!


Oo ho ho oo…oh baby oo baby nivente vachane… oo baby oo baby….
The song made my ear drum beat to the rhythm… rajnikanth the hero of the film robo…with lovely ish following him… Rajni was very old in real but in reel he was different… heard from news that it took 2 hours to make him up for shot!!! But it proved useful when movie was a hit!!!
And we should really appreciate him for acting at this old age with the same charisma.
Is it only artists who make up???
I’m not talking about fair&lovely or fair&handsome or garnier or olay or loreal…
We make up our mind, our actions and our thoughts but at the end we are nowhere…. We are not we are…
A few days back while chatting with friend who loved a girl by heart, mind and soul… felt sad, when he saw that there was no response from other end… To soothe his grief I had to talk good about him and bad about girl… in the end it did no good…
There are so many institutes who teach “how to speak fluently” but there’s none to say “how to speak exactly?”
Coz… it is not a qualification or experience… this qualitative term has/had and will have an adverse effect to our personality…
I got four offers and had to decide which company I should opt for...  Eliminating choices was a difficult task but then to answer people around why I opt for one was much more difficult… I had my reasons in my mind…
But then…
I did not want to disclose them… as some would listen and most entertain with the same…
I makeup the answer and sounded like recorded stereo answering all…
They knew it was not the correct reason… How did they know???
We speak 80% by body language and 20% by words… Your body language reflects your feelings and emotions…
Example:
A heartbreak failure in love would result in nothing but sad even though one says he is quite happy now…
One can mould body and its language but cannot hide it…
One prays, scolds, shows affection, shows hatred from the same mouth with same words formed from A through Z… but body language or personality differs in every action, emotion.
And do balance your emotions and thinking… coz…
“Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel”
Hence
guys….Never believe in words… (Mine too)
Happy weekend!!! (Computer bugs)

Anna the brother


It was 4.30pm, I and my two other friends reached a company to give our final interview.
We were shortlisted to get raped for second time… wow!!!
We waited for an hour long with some serious, weird, tension faces… It is easy to suggest some to be cool for interview but then… you sweat…
In the mean time, my two friends started discussing about anna hazare…
I had no idea who this guy was as I rarely watch news and for that reason newspapers too…
It is easy to get raped first than wait for your turn after your two friends to finish their job…
Interview room
Blah!!! Blah!!!! Blah!!!
So… what are your views about anna hazare and lokpal bill?
It is a good one… (My mind started recollecting the things which my friends discussed just now)
It is against corruption… so beneficial to all… and anna is following gandhian philosophy of non violence which is admirable…
Ya, lokpal bill which includes social activists and government to form an independent governing body to punish corrupt… and even bureaucrats within 2 years.
.
.
Selected!!!
It’s been 2 months now… I still remember the day of interview…
If the name of Anna could have changed my life… why not his work can change the ways now work…(it will seem without logic... a belief)
Anna hazare, a farmer, social activist put forward a bill which is for betterment of us…
  • We need not take loans from world bank when we can give them
  • We need not be developing country which is for past 60 years… when we can be developed country
  • We need not import technologies when we can develop
  • We need not quench our dreams when we can fly free
  • We need not work under when we have power to rule

This post is to support for the great cause “Lokpal Bill”.
I don’t want you to share this or like this…
I just want you to make yourself acknowledged about the Lokpal bill…

Do or Die


I remember a scene from a movie in which father teaches his son to swim…
When they reach shore… father pushes son into deep water, the boy screams for help, tries to swim, drowns and swims and at the end he makes to shore… to find father pushing him back into water…
Same was the incident with Alexander who ordered his men to destroy their ships when they reached enemy land… which was their only way to escape if they get defeated. so...
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”- M.K. Gandhi
The idea was to eliminate the choices in life….
When you are pushed to extent that you can only either Do or Die…
It is then you show your true colors… it is when…
“Your thoughts; become words. Your words; become actions. Your actions; become habits. Your habits; become character. Your character; becomes your destiny.”
A clear thought in mind is what is required to fulfill your destiny… why all this now?
I say, it’s now or never…
I dream of becoming an administrator, I dream of showing remarkable outputs from my project.
But the life always plays its role like mother making you comfortable at every point which makes you feel lazy to even take step ahead, and there are so many others to distract you from your goal… how to remain focused?
  • Eliminate choices
It’s either you or not you…
Life asks different questions but with only two options
YES or NO
It is YES or NO that decides your thoughts, actions, habits, character and attitude.
The delay in taking decision just adds up one more decision to be taken…
.
I want to study… but let me watch this movie now…
I want to exercise… but let me sleep for today…
.
“If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
I’m not a teacher to teach you how to act and react… I’m just a friend to remind you to act before it’s too late… I have missed an opportunity… so its to warn you before you fall into pit...
Practice to eliminate choices...coz...
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”

And do take time out to relax and not relax to get timed out.
