At work.

Its been one helluva week. Mixed emotions. I was asked to answer a question that got me thinking. "Whats your experience of working with this team?" Now here i am, a jackass. I could answer this in 20 words, 50 words , 100 words or even write an essay on it. Blame the UPSC. I can add lot of raw facts, analysis and yeah god bless me even charts :). Jokes apart, the only thing that will influence the process of forming an "experience" is the people around you. I have been extremely lucky to say the least in my entire 4yrs of career so far, to have had the opportunity of working with amazing people. Some times i think, myself and elusive lady luck have been joined on hip like twins! And hmmm, yes i can never distinguish between the teams or rather my experiences between teams will be the same or i would be doing myself a great injustice of demeaning one over the other. Of course, the process may change, the amount of work, stress factors blah and blah change among teams but should i give a damn? after all profession is just a way of spending the not so productive part of your life! For me its been the same so far, few good men, few damsels, few dudes, few boozers and of course a villain or two in every team and the jokes, laughters, sadness, crisis in different shades. Life just moves on. Get hold of it.

Dont get too close

Bachelors like us have got nothing much to do in spare time apart from getting busy in whatever comes in our way. I have been hanging out with the same bunch of guys since ages and keep doing the same monotonous things to spend the active part of every day life. And it so happened to me that i ended up being real close with them and vice-versa. Like hell, there comes a day in your life when all dear ones migrate, depart and then when it so happens you have no option but to be depressed. Of course there is a way out by socializing with new kinds of people, getting busy in new things or seriously pursuing what you hate doing. But then damage has been done. So dont get too close! Friendship is all about JUST staying in touch.

Hmmm.

Came across a quote which had me thinking for quite sometime. The smoke added fuel to it. "Everyone is born unique, then why die as copies." This has been one of the best thing i have ever read. Now i am determined enough to live as i wish, scrap the "regards" for society. I believe the dynamically changing society has a place and strength to accept every type of human.

And, I am wrong again

All throughout my academics, i have been neglecting the social science, environmental studies for they were boring and were full of facts. If it wasnt for the pressure to excel in academics, i would not have mugged it up; forget about learning them. The sheer neglect of these will definitly make you sort of outcast. If it wasnt for the cultural enlightenment in eng college, i would probably have a tough time mingling with people. And today i feel how important the social sciences and humanitarian sciences are for the developement of us as citizens of the state. Hats off to all those people who are passionate about these subjects to the extent that they go ahead and educate the masses on the same. Not that they are dumb to be engineers, doctors etc. Humanitarian science needs IQ, analysis..etc and all those grey cells we need for science subjects but it also needs something more like emotions, understanding of human needs.

be yourself

why cant you be just yourself? With half the people portraying themselves to be somebody else, its great to find people who are just themselves. Flaunt what you have got, not what you have acquired illegitimately to flaunt. World will be lot simpler then. If you are bad, stand by it. I dont give a damn about what you have got and how funky those things are.

No title, not worth it

learnt it well. Ignorance is best form of defense, so is arrogance. anything in between is as gud as indian education system.

Keep Cribbing!

This is excerpt of gtalk communication. I finally found one who was in sync with my thoughts!Not just in sync but he mattered most too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risky is online.
me: lo why do ppl keep cribbing abt their job when they can be better off some where else
Risky: I was wonderibng the same!
me: :D
Risky: its our head which refuses to believe we are responsible for our sad state
find one guy who has met with accident who says it was my fault
except me, of course :)
me: exactly..if they cut salary, layoff some they start to crib
by jive they dont own business and running business is no dicks work
if business is not doing well whose fault is it!
Risky: :D

Risky: college life and other stuff was cool too- the worst nightmare they might hav had would be a girl/guy leavin them or flunkin in a subject. even the jobs- placements were easy
they never fought for anything everything was giftwrapped til now and the real world gives bareknuckled punches- and nothing else
they cant stand it- and hence blame everything else except their incompetence
