A year passed by

A year passed by... With so many travels to India and back, I am exhausted. So many functions and events, some good, some bad, some as they should have been some not. So many lives touched, many new people met, shared some thoughts, shared many memories... A year passed by... When I look back, I am back to the same state where I started a year back.. but empty handed. A year passed by... I am back to square one

On this day, God wants you to know...

this days I am quite hooked on to the facebook, like many other everyday mailers, I subscribed to this: On this day, God wants you to know... ... that today you have a cause for celebration. Today, you should celebrate what an unbelievable life you have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make you stronger. Just as a gem cannot be polis...hed without friction, nor can a life be perfected without trials. Take a time to acknowledge your life and to praise yourself. Such a wonderful thing!!!

Flying Kites...

I haven’t read the Marathi novel, but somebody did mention about this: An employee is flying kite from the terrace of the office. It happens the same day is the inspection and the inspection officer finds the employee flying kite. He inquires why the employee flying kite during the office hours. The employee replies that he just thought of flying kite and immediately asked for official leave (which he is entitled) to fly kite. When was the last time when we wished to “fly kite” and had taken an official leave for the same?

Save Paper

Presenting some tips for saving paper, help in reducing global warming. All of these aren't new, but we seldom use: What we can do Use both sides of the paper (also known as duplex printing) Go digital -- save on postage by sending files electronically, and let your client decide whether to print them, ofcourse PDF the files before sending!! Print only what is necessary Unless confidential, use the other (blank) sides of old printouts as rough paper Eco Tip Signatures – Append a line in the email such as: Before printing, think about the environment or Please consider environment before printing this email Benefits How come such a simple gesture CAN make such a difference? Imagine how many sheets of paper are uselessly printed during the day all around the world!!! Tons of paper and thousand of trees could be saved if we just gave a thought before printing it. Do I really need this printed?? This is the question that we need to do before punching that button. And just add a messa...

Punishing the wrong child…

This is an old incident, worth thinking on for everything!!! Two cousins – “Good” and “Naughty”, of same age, say around 7-8 years met at their grandparents place. As their pseudo names suggest, Good is obedient, Naughty is defiant; Good is accommodating, Naughty is stubborn and they both differs in practically everything from eating habits to other activities. Good’s mom made him eat everything, every vegetables even if Good likes it or not; Naughty’s mom couldn’t make him all vegetables, he used to eat only potatoes. At Grandma’s place, grandma prepared Brinjal which is disliked by both Good and Naughty. But, Good is ready to Brinjal because of his mom’s sake, whereas Naughty refuses to eat as he wants only potatoes. [ Potatoes happens to be liked by both of them .] Grandma appreciates Good for his wonderful behaviour, as he eats Brinjal, lots of praises for our “good” boy. On the other hand, Grandma prepares potatoes for Naughty and tells him he is not worth of any praises. So far s...

Let the fear go…

#1: Fear of losing job Last week had been really busy, in amidst of work; I was put on working on financial model for the company. I love excel and every time I use excel I get excel in my work. I was given a half baked model to work on. I hate working on half work done by others and then I spotted mistakes in one mistake… that’s it.. took me more than 3 days to understand and correct all mistakes only to realize that the model isn’t working because of too many hard codes… Am back to square one and prepare a new model in less than a 2 days.. I ended working over weekend to see that next morning bosses changed all the parameters!! And then balance sheet wasn't tallying, and to add to the nightmare currency of company was presented in US$ whereas it was local currency. I had terrible time, frustrated and tired of working on model. That night I went to bed and said, what worst can happen? I quit, they sack me or I leave my career as financial analyst and remain house wife forever.. wh...
