rejuvenating yourself daily....?

Rejuvenation is not having a body massage at therapeutic centers with a whooping bill of 40,000rs or sitting in a resort for 2 days in the lap of  a hill station.I have seen people going to massage centers as a symbol of pride. when iam writing this few faces are flashing my mind who will stand in front of a coffee shop,resort,therapeutic center without the        watch man's knowledge to snap a photo and to update in their face book as if its their favorite place to hangout with. 

Go to a salon and have your beard shaved while closing your eyes for 30mins would soothe you down or having a chai in a roadside shop and observing the people coming there will heal your mind naturally.Take your bike and go for a long drive without fixing the destination in mind.When your morale is down go for a movie(didnt mean to say Satyam or Inox) cinema kottake.You will be given bench if you are royal or will be given a heap of sand if you are middle class.Experiment everything in life,not to update in your face book status but to take back more memories in your life.

What is that u understood after reading this?

Do all crazy things to the world but be intelligent,energetic by mind, be confident by heart and have grace at soul.

Ur Boss? or Buffoon?

If u have your boss who is not superior to you neither in qualification,skills,communication nor expertise but he was your boss just because he is  5-10 years older than you and his year of birth is far behind yours.

Its the same dynamics as it worked in our school.The teacher who was very tough and strict but who teaches really well would be admired by everyone and the gratitude and love for that teacher will always be in heart.On the other hand another teacher who was very jovial and friendly but who don't know anything in subject and don't teach properly will be positioned as a buffoon in our mind, though students will show interest to have chat with them for time pass.




The same happens in office also.Think of those faces who are worth for nothing,a person who really don't deserve to rate you but will use all interesting terms like you are not proactive- as though he is proactive even in forcasting tsunamis and hurricane,you should improve your communication as if he talks like an expatriate,if someone flashes your mind while reading this he will be the ideal fit of a stupid boss.


After working with any boss if you have no take aways from him or if there is no learning for your professional and personal growth,rather he learnt so much from you, he is a buffoon.

Difference between love and marriage!

I read this in a book but interesting and worth the read.

Disciples asked guru the difference between love and marriage.
Guru asked a disciple to go to the garden of roses and asked him to bring the tallest plant of them with a constraint that he should not walk back in the same way he goes,which means he can go forward but cannot come back.The disciple returned empty handed telling his guru that, at first i saw a tall rose plant but i kept walking as i thought i may get still a taller plant.I found few taller plants too and i continue searching for the tallest.but after that i found only short plants and as i should not come back in the same way i couldnt get one.

Guru smiled and said this is love.

Now he asked him to go to a sunflower garden and asked him to get the beautiful flower with another condition that after plucking a flower he shouldnt pluck the second flower.
The disciple came with a flower,guru asked is this the beautiful of all in that garden? the disciple answered that there were lot of more beautiful flowers than this.But i dont want things to happen the way it happened with rose plant. so i found one in the initial search and came back as stipulated i should not pluck the second flower, i returned back with this.


Now guruji said this is marriage.....




Hope you understood....

Right time to fall in love?

Your parents would have enjoyed when you had spoken something about love in your fifth grade when you dont know what it is exactly but annoyed and scared when you speak something of love post U.G or P.G by the time u felt that spark in you.

Had you told someone you were in love in school days none admits that.Society will term it with innovative terms as infatuation,You will get array of questions as, With out you getting settled in life what will u do  having that girl by your side?I have heard people telling that only to write your board exams u have been studying right from KinderGarten for all these 12 years.

After U.G the same will get translated to a different version.Planning your P.G or getting placed in a blue chip company will take a toll on your life.

Post P.G and after a job if you tell someone u had fallen in love they will retaliate asking you, How come you fell in love at this age after these many years? you should have fallen in love probably in your teens when hormones were gushing in your body.

In your early 30's probably you will wonder how come had you fallen in love 10 years back? Since you hadn't made it successful you will also term your love with same terms like infatuation,mere attraction,lust etc

Having said all these, i think love is all about finding someone u never thought of, instantly without worrying too much about other external factors like time,money,job etc etc....

Loneliness.....

In 2008 an offer from  Siemens for a hefty package,a fully funded course in Germany,meticulous plans on higher studies in the track, a current assignment to sustain myself before joining Siemens.

When all this tumbles

I got relieved from my current assignment. i was not interested in Siemens as i got to be in Germany for training and then in kolkata(Personal reasons also lie underneath this decision and let it be personal).My dream of higher studies was completely shattered for various reasons.All that i have done was i went to Germany and don't know what to do after returning to India.Past incidents were making me sedentary.


On the personal front there were relationship fading with time for really no honest reasons.I was in a situation to take lot of irreversible decisions both on the personal and professional front.By my side i had very few people who knows whats happening around me.

All i have understood was time can be best medicine to heal you than anyone and anything in this world.
Loneliness doesn't mean being alone.Its a state of mind which will put your morale down but enduring that will help you understand life.I was not addicted to alcohol,never complained my life to everyone i met,always putting a smile on face though was squalling inside.


I was just traveling to short and far-off places,sipping hot tea which went close to 7 cups a day to sooth myself ,sitting all alone in darkness(its not cinematic, i love darkness) and thinking for a path to traverse.

Have you grown up???

        Gone are those days when you would like to have samosas(Probably because of the crush you had on that north Indian girl) and having money to buy only one.Now that you have money to buy that entire samosa stall but you don't feel like having even one.

       When you were in your schooling or graduation you had a list of contacts to call but always your prepaid mobile showing poor balance(Think of those numbers you remembered by heart in your heart) .Being part of a corporate world, you enjoy a higher credit limit on your postpaid but either finding no time or don't know whom to call and chat with.

      Remember the days when you filled petrol in your bike for 20 rupees and still roaming all the day without bothering anything.Compare those days with now as you got all petro cards in your wallet and a cruise bike  still not happy to go for a ride and often annoyed when you travel by bike.

      Loved to go to petty tea shop those days even when nothing is impressive.But now having 200 signature dishes in menu and don't know what to order for ,finally ending with the same idli,dosa and it feels like having food is also a work to be done.

    Away back traveled as a group of friends  in EMU train or MTC buses.Now travelling in a AC car all alone.

    Eagerly was waiting for new movies (have watched damn mokka movies too,that tops the list) earlier and gave reviews to others.Currently even after getting so many  positive reviews not making up our mind to go out for a movie.

After reading this if you honestly admit this change in you tell yourself you have grown up!!!!!!!!!!!

My Experience with German in vellammal engg

I was teaching German for 1 year in vellammal engineering college and for six months i served as a guest faculty.It was interesting that i was the junior most person ever in the history of vellammal.I was just 21.It was a strange feeling that many students to whom i taught were actually older than me.


I found few of my school juniors also in 2005-2009 batch.Let me share with the interesting moments.

a.Students wanted to talk in German from day one.I was taken aback, they have learnt english from their 1st grade.Even after 12 years still they find it difficult to converse fluently but with German they want that to happen on day one.

b.while learning interpreting equivalents in english.
where are you going? to Chennai
Wohin fahren sie? nach Chennai. so to their understanding is nach means to which will turn wild in different conversations.

c.Students asked me curiously whats "I love India" in German.Hope you can understand for what its intended to.Probably to replace india with indira,induja so on..........


d.They tried with deutamil,deutlish,deutelugu.now please don't stare at your monitor.Deutamil is combination of Tamil and Deutsch and so on.


e.Reading  kőnnen as kannan,using kuchen as Küchen etc

Looking for your special one !!!!

Ever thought about that special moment of holding your special one's hand.How good will it be if she is a home maker to take care of you more than her child,the intimacy that you share from your childhood together,the understanding you share without expressing in words,the possessiveness you have for her beyond bounds and finally when she means the world for you.

If your wife is a home maker probably you will reside in a two bedroom flat(mean to say if you don't get fatty dowry to your conscience), you will own a sub compact car.On the personal front she will be by your side on your success and failures, you will be happy to see her lovely face daily after you wake up,your kids will be brought up with all love,care,affection the way your mother brought you up.you can hold her hands for a walk at night.(Bizarre that the IT and BPO professionals working at night ever thought of it).She will be a strong motivation and stress buster when you are morally down,frustrated.She will experiment you with all her cooking skills(indeed worth the try).More importantly atleast you will have conversations for 2 hours a day.

Now just close your eyes and think if she is a working professional for any IT,BPO,IT services.(Don't forget to capture a three bedroom flat and a luxurious sedan in your dream now)!!!!!!!

Soon after college!!!!! First job

Given are the 4 quadrants of professional life.Soon after your UG or masters you may feel that u know everything but you are not landing with a job on an area of your interest.Only if you have a deep insight into yourself you will find that you are in quadrant1 and only when you reach quadrant 4 you can actually be the master in anything.



Sachin after 22 years of international cricket still playing only in 22 yards pitch and in 150 yards play area.Just because he is a master he cannot ask for 44 yards pitch and 200 yards play area.

Never get frustrated or bored in your current assignment as legends like sachin are never complacent and bored after even 22 years of Intl cricket,though i feel bit bored to write this.

Charity and you

Charity

a.Charity is not giving 10,000rs to someone but giving 5rs to the needy means a lot more.
b.Dont show your intelligence by judging whether someone in need is worth to get your 5 or 10 rs as for you it means literally nothing but for them it means life.
c.If you happen to see the same beggar time and again dont yell at him though you dont want to help.Have in your bottom heart that  any human will feel hungry thrice a day and so it becomes part of his life.

d.Charity is not about giving anything to everyone its all about giving something to someone.when this chain transforms with time the world will cherish with love,kindness.

I love management jobs......U?

Difference between Technical and Management Prudence:

In any technical,production,technical support role your chances of going up or coming down the ladder is completely yours.

In management role your fate will hang in the balance of other persons decision.But why?

Just think

a.)Put yourself into the shoes of a marketing manager.After evaluating so many data,after choosing the right marketing medium,after finding the target audience you fail to get the expected response rate or conversions which implies that your marketing strategy has failed.

b.)You are in sales. you are really too smart in convincing and making people understand things. you have a flair of knowledge in the products you deal with but if customer is not buying your product for any reason which may be as stupid as he is talking and looking more smarter than me,my wife had a boyfriend by the name this guy has,he was starring at the receptionist for whom i had an eye on etc.


c.)Now that after all turbulent times u are the general manager of a company having 15 reporting managers.your role is to forecast the business to the company,being proactive in finding problems,forecasting the units to be sold in the next fiscal,ensuring the business is optimistic even in pessimistic financial weather,planning to the R&D to line up products for next 5 years. If your direct reportees and their reportees are not inline with your vision you will end up nowhere.

A technical person will plan for his future after 3 years,5years.But believe me if you don't bring any revenue to the company this month in sales,if your strategies failed to take off in marketing this quarter and if your vision shattered the position of the company this fiscal you are back home jobless!!!!!!!

If you are someone in any management jobs be proud and happy that you know to tackle any moment of uncertainity, you are capable of turning any situation upside down.
