Let me share...

I received a mail, a forwarded one, it really made me thinking….that’s why wants to share it with you all… Dad used to give us Rs. 20/- per month, in that we were not only able to eat stomachs fill, but we were able to save too!!! Now we earn a sum of 20K, we have no idea where it goes, let alone saving it!! Which's better, the former or the latter??? 6 subject in a year, 6 different teachers!! One project since we joined and just one manager!! Which's better, the former or the latter??? We used to make notes; we used to study for ranks!! Now we scan thru our mails; we struggle for our ratings!!! Which's better, the former or the latter??? We have still not forgotten the people in the next section!!! Now we don't even know who sits in the next cubicle!!! Which's better, the former or the latter??? After getting back from a tiring play, we used to do our homework!! Now who knows/cares about home; all we do is just work!!! Which's better, the former or the latter

Two of the few major showcases of India: Konkan Railway and Delhi Metro, the man behind both of them, E. Sreesharan. The Centre does not think the 77-year-old internationally renowned technocrat merits special consideration and has made him run from pillar to post to reclaim illegal deduction of Rs 4,000 per month from his salary as Chairman of the Konkan Railway from where he retired in 1997 to head Delhi Metro. Poor guy, after workign so hard and honestly, what he is getting!!! After retiring from the Indian railways in 1990, Sreedharan joined Konkan Railway on a pay scale of Rs 9,000-10,000 for a period of five years. Without his permission, Konkan Railway deducted Rs 4,000 from his salary contending that it was a re-employment under the central government and he could not draw pension and salary from two government departments at the same time. This went on for five years till he retired. His salary was less than half of Kpnkan rail executives and he was workign as CEO of a public

It seemed a long day at office..pata nahin kam nahin ho paa raha tha. Actually, I am currently up-skilling myself to new technology, so busy with it. Ayways as I was unbale to concentrate in office I asked Nishant to leave early with an idea to reach home and study a bit but the issue was that I had a meeting with Andrea, my manager who sits in Waldorf and my rest of the team at 6:30 in the evening. But we have flexibility to attend it from anywhere, thanks to Telecom revolution. So I reached home early and did my work for sometime. I had to go to pick Anjali after my meeting. I was driving to Global Business Park listening to same songs on every FM, seriously many a times I like listening to AIR (All India Radio) as they play quite a variety of songs otherwise all new FM's play same 10-12 songs from recent movies. No wonder even bad songs becomes a hit one like Tha kar ke, tha tha kar ke!! My habit is to give Anjali a miss call roughly 5 minutes before reaching her office. Coz of

12:30 PM The year passed by like any other, by my life has definitely changed. 31st December 2007 I was enjoying my day with Charu and Anjali in London planning for the evening...there was only one plan, to go to the river and watch Europe's best 10 minute fireworks on the stuck of mid-night at Big-Ben with famous London Eye as the background. It’s a must watch event at-least once in ones lifetime. It's amazing to see how Rs. 10.5 crore can be burnt in 10 minutes (London spend ₤1.3 million on 1st Jan 2008 on fireworks). Anyways this year I will watch it again but on youtube. Year started with preparations for the SAP PI certification, which I cleared in the first week of Jan then came the tough decision of coming back to India for good, used to wonder whether the decision is gonna be good or not…finally decided when Vishal visited and we were having pints of Foster’s and Stella, with bowl of chips at Metropolitan Bar on Baker Street outside station, along with Rajoo, I mean Raj

It was last week when we got a mail from our manager stating that we have received this quarter's team budget. As soon as we get this mail like every time a buzz of deciding what to do with the funds flows in the team... thats the only point of discussion until we decide on something, like last time we got a useless trolly -laptop bag and we went for a team lunch at Barbeque Nation. This time somebody wants to got for 3 lunches (at decent restaurants and that too Indian), I don't understand why people don't want to experiment with new cuisines/places. Anyways back to the options some what voucher to spend on their own but thats not possible as the whole purpose of the budget is to developing team bonding and it has to be spend in some team building activity....which is nothing but only going out for team lunch....pathetic. team building activity, people are not ready to stay back in the evening as they have to reach home, people cant come on Saturdays as they have ot

It was 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon when Peterson was playing a steady innings in 5th ODI against India at Cuttack, I was following ball by ball score on cricinfo.com suddenly there was some disturbance on speakers above my desk. We were sure it is about the fire drill, which everyone was aware of since morning. People had already made plans, what they are gonna do during that time...some were palnning for long tea/coffee break and most had plans to have early EOD from office. But unfortunately that was just the speaker check...the first failure of the drill. Later in 10 minutes we had proper announcement and siren announcing the evecuation of the office. The lady on the speaker was trying to sound like it was a panic situation, and she managed very well....she asked everyone just to leave the desks as it is and leave the office premises though staircase. As everyone was aware of the drill, they were pretty replaxed and were not at all understanding the criticalness of the situation/dri
