Life and Choices

It’s a Christmas Eve and I am on terrace watching people getting ready to celebrate Christmas. Not much of a festival view though, as I am residing in a locality where Christians are less. Neighbor’s kid is preparing himself for the Christmas celebration and asking his Mom what all things he is going to do for the celebration. I remembered the Diwali celebrations by kids. They were also happy about the festival and they were also excited. Both the kids were unaware about the religion but they were simply happy about the celebration. Their birth was not chosen by them.                 I wonder there are choices that we make and there are some which are not in our hand. Are we happy with the choices that we have made from childhood to till now? Did we make our choices or we were under some pressure to choose the one in which we are living now? Do we regret the choices we have made? So many questions.              ...

Childhood and playgrounds

Last weekend I was free and jobless. Thought of going on a bike ride and took out my bike from the garage. Since I had not used it in a while it was not starting. Some how managed to start it and went out and stopped near a children park. There were lot of kids playing and I could not resist myself from entering the park. Chose a bench and sat seeing them play.          There was a cute little kid in pink dress playing the Swing. She was all alone. She was happy in her own world. She reminded me of my childhood. I have grown up playing alone in my early childhood. I am not complaining about the lonely childhood because that was fun too. I felt that the little girl is happy and very friendly. My perception soon changed when one more cute girl in a light green skirt started playing near that swing. She was holding a polythene cover and she was filling mud in to it. Suddenly the pink dress girl stopped her swing and started throwing small stones at the girl filli...

Sunday Madness:Time Travel

Weekends & laziness gel very well for me. I always think I will do better things tomorrow than being lazy, every Friday when I go to bed. And then comes the big Saturday morning and I start thinking its just Saturday and I better give my body a little rest before I start of something new on Sunday. Then the rest of the things you all know!! its the same thing that happens to most us. Rest continues for two days and the weekend is over and we are up for the next week.         Here is one such lazy Sunday with weird thoughts this time. woke up with the sound of TV when my cousin started playing FLASH season two episode 8 i guess. Its a cold Sunday morning in Bengaluru and I don't prefer to get up from bed even if its the last day of the world.Pulled up myself on bed and started watching TV. Flash is doing a time travel and seeing what is going to happen in the future and I started wondering myself if I ever get a chance to do a time travel then what am I going to...

Nightmare

May be you are gone for good, May be we are apart for a reason Still I remember you and cry in vain I still feel the pain in every heart beat I still feel it's a nightmare and I will wake up from this, I know I am not dreaming , I know you won't come back, But still I hope its a nightmare. Never felt your worth when u was around, Never did things that mattered the most, Now that you are gone, doing all that you wished once Hoping that I will wake up from this nightmare

Perfect Ending

When do you know it’s the right time to end something that you have started knowingly or unknowingly? Men and women both go through this problem, it is not gender biased. I personally most of the times wonder what is the right ending conversation when you are chatting with someone on WhatsApp. For Ex. You said your love a good night and she replied back saying good night honey.. sweet dreams take care J . You are an idiot now. You have not told the sweet dreams and the honey stuff to her but she did so now a part of you forces you to reply with a smiley or some other random line like love you honey. Now that the other person has not said love you that person will have to say Love you too baby!! So I think there is no perfect ending line for anything and even for relationships. It has to go through all the phases and reach its destiny. Now that I am thinking of relationship ending lines, is there any specific line that ends it properly. It might happen that both know that their relat...

Story of an Ant

John was running for saving his life. White and pretty girls in black skirt and white top are chasing him with axe in hand. The ground was wet, there were water and garbage all around. John steps on cow dung and slips shouting oh shit!!! Girl in front of the chasing party shouts at john "yes you are a shit!!" . With no intention of letting him go, the girls started throwing their axes at John . looking back and avoiding the incoming axes and keeping the same pace was getting difficult. Suddenly a girl with beautiful looks with an average height of 5 feet catches the eyes of john. She is not the prettiest but their was some magnetism in her face and her skirt which is making waves. For a moment john forgot the need of the hour and there it is, a axe peers his chest and a foam like stuff starts coming off johns mouth. He wipes it and looks for a cloth to clean his hand and there is nothing around and suddenly he realises he is on bed and wipes his hand to the pillow. A hot wa...

The BPO Then and Now..

The big idea of saving money by getting the work done from others originated in early 90's. The CFO's (chief financial officers) were keen on saving money on process which dint earn revenue to the organisation. The best example is the contact center, this part of the business needed investment, manpower and a lot of trainings to keep the service quality and hardly generated any revenue in measurable forms. This gave rise to the idea of outsourcing these tasks to the low cost areas mainly offshore places, where the labour cost is minimal and has the ability to adopt and develop the sort of talents necessary for the business. The companies dint have to do much investments for this. The word outsourcing itself did the magic for them in the developing countries. The entrepreneurs developed their own service models, governments offered tax savings and young generation fell in love with the service concept. Even though I have generalised a lot of things above but it is almost the sa...

Live the life in the rush!!

What’s the weekend plan! My answer would have been lying on bed and getting rid of the stress. But who said stress will go off if I sleep or remain lazy!! It took a lot of time to realize what am I losing by being lazy. This is one of those enlightening weekends. I had a corn surgically removed from my feet yesterday, and my leg is wrapped with bandage. I am not allowed to put pressure on my legs as there are stiches. So it is obvious that from yesterday I am lying on bed and watching TV, chatting with friends and talking over phone. Sounds like I am really having fun right!. But it’s not. I badly want to get up and walk, jump, run, ride my bike, exercise in gym everything. It’s just been 24 hours and I am already bored with my bed. Now that I am bored I got time to think about what I was doing and what I should have done!. Until day before yesterday I wanted all the time in the world to relax and be lazy on bed. That was kind of my retirement dream. I had always wondered about aged ...

In love with my ride

That’s my ride! that’s my ride!. Bangaloreans bikes are the best friends here right!!.. from going to office to meeting girlfriend and even for relaxing we need a bike.   Bikes are a part of our life. But the question is how much do we know about our bike? This one is my ride:   I don’t know much about the mechanism but I understand if my bike is unwell.. that is like really an amazing thing. When u feel itch in your throat you know that there is a cold coming.. same way I know when there is a   change in sound of the engine something is wrong with my bike. On odd days I don’t feel like going to work but the thought of riding bike makes me pull up myself and go to work J I know this is too much but that’s how it is. Long rides on bike are really really enjoyable. I had been to my native approximately 500 km and the solo ride was amazing. I just fell in love with my bike again. You race with people on highways you run y...

Few lines!!

Gone are the days, when u and me were we, Gone are the days when u was more than me The lonely days are here like a never ending summer Evening walks are no more a routine Late night chats have vanished                                                      Still I wish a bright morning every night for you I know I have ruined it, but it is what it is You made me live and I made you live Now just that I am alive in thoughts that you are alive somewhere

Mental Health and Social Media

“I am sick of being alone L ”,   “I hate myself” or similar very personal emotions are posted on social media nowadays. Even though this is not very age specific pattern but the majority of these posts come from teenagers. People get out of a relationship heart broken and the next immediate thing to do is to go and post on a social media site “u broke my heart”. Yes I agree that they are letting their frustration out, but they are ignoring the fact that someone else might read all these and misuse their emotionally low phase of life.                 One more factor we should see is the most of these social media out bursts also relate to certain mental dis orders.                 Larry Rosen, professor of psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills, outlined the results of some recent research, which also points...

Why Corporate is Turning Towards Managing Social Presence

Hey did you check my fb status ? Hey I shared a witty quote on twitter,  I have shared a cool pic on Instagram just checkout.  These were the quotes few years back.  Now also these things are discussed but there are few additions to it,  such as "@***insurance your service is pathetic " or similar post on fb page etc.  And the followers of these people  start liking and commenting…  and the negative word of mouth spreads and prospective customers are kept away from brand!!!!  The other side of the story is that if there is a good word in social media and that gets viral then its going to be a free publicity for the brand and which is worth more than print or television advertisement. So as to keep up with the trends the corporate has to move towards social media and it is inevitable for companies if they are looking to keep their feet grounded in the storm.  Today's business has become so much customer centric that,  even a singl...
