People are angry

26/11 attacks on Mumbai were so deadly and dramatic that it took this long to sink in and now Indians are feeling anger over perpetrators. This will culminate into stringent action against accused and realization of horror of the moment. It was brutally unimaginable.

Stubbornness...?

Below are few of many incidents i observed during last 2 years making me feel myself as invisible or inconspicuous or may be they are usual things.
In office, new tool called Ideamax ( social ideation platform ) is launched and concept is your ideas can be considered for organization-wide implementaion depending on amount of votes you get from associates. So i canvassed ppl for votes online, on phone and physically meeting. Few of them voted my ideas and were thoese who i was sure of. But few ppl said "Sure, i will vote", some of them were not aware of ideamax at all and were introudced by me. They visited my ideas too but failed to vote.
Considering they did not know how to vote or may not have understood the idea also leaves room for susptection b'cos they always had option of coming back with their doubt.

Second incident is few days back i requested for some change in my personal details and resoponsible person did not pay heed to my 5 reminder mails, 6 phone calls and 2 personal meetings and moreover responded casually like we are discussing the issue first time. Finally change was done on 7th call. At least this gave me catharsis since it ensured there was something right i was following:)

Third incident was when i came to know after one month that my reimbursement request was not apporved and i called the person to enquire. He searched for something said call after some time. In second call he asked my extn number and said i shall call u back in 10 min. He didn't. Next day when i called him he started all over again from "which, when and how about request". When i expressed that i felt like govt office he retorted with suppressed anger "i hv lots of work". But i was never in haste, he could hv said me to call after one month instaed of tomorrow.


Final example is of my allocation in project where i can surely conclude that it was my need to get into project and hope to retain that energy to follow up .

Now i ponder, whether it was stubbornness, ego of the ppl or were they focused too much on their work and that left small window to occupy me in there briddled view?
If your company is working like this it is your badluck but i can infer one thing from this and relate it with Satyam Computers in a way that there is huge account cooking in many other companies too and CBI needs to invistigate it thoroughly.
Recently TCS executive gave statement saying they hv reduced almost banned travel to cut the costs. But senior people travel as and when they want. I heard my senor telling me and other coulleague how he went to some european country while coming from US and how he enjoyed wines at these places.

I am pretty sure there r many Rajus around.


i got a break for myself and went to visit riverside quiet place on weekend.

Disparity, Disparity, Disparity

How come two lives be at so much extreme in terms of the their artha (wealth) . CEO of wellknwon company draws (mind the word draws) aroung 40 Lacs per annum and LPG cylinder delivery man waits for his 2000 Rs a month sallary. Can there be exchange of work for very few days ?

Naam roshan kar diya

Sanskrit saying is Yen Ken KarNen Prasiddhaha Bhavet. I recollect this because few days ago i read about Pierre Salinger Syndrome ( Salinger was Press secretary for JFK who ince belived and confirmed internet article mentioning US tested missile on acutal plane carrying more than 280 people and killing them. And syndrome is nothing but who believes in such articles falling pray to new technology such as internet) and Lou Gherig's disease ( One which has contracted Stephen Hawking and first person to suffer from this disease which causes muscle attrophy was Lou Gherig).
There are innumerable examples where mathematical equations, constants, are eponimous. One idiom in marathi "Narova kunjorava" meaning not giveing perfect yes or no answer is also of the same kind.

Oz terrain

I always amazed at down under continent and people there and was struck by awe when read news about incient mentioned below.

Australia was engulfed by flood on eastern coast and wild-fire on western almost simultaneoulsy. Worst was that floods brought crocodiles in city area causing threat ( fact - 14 ft. croc killed and ate 5 yr old boy) and fire incited evil souls to turn out as arsonists and loot neighbouring households. But Country of Brave people fought both the situations very good and still stands as best travel destination. Hats off

Radical change

Today Vrinda and I observed one marriage pandal entrance banner sporting Bride-Bridegrooms' photographs in addition to their names and thought what a hatke and informative change to otherwise ubiquitous marriage boards like Dhore * More Shubhavivah or Kulkarni* Deshpande.

Think how we would imagine crowd inside and not satkarmurtis.

A Fine Balance

This book by Rohinton Mistry may be more realistic depiction of Indian poverty and slum life. The book is far better compared to movie "Slumdong Millionaire". But what prompted me to this is fame and undue media attention given to Slumdog Millionaire movie which may be good in they eye of west but certainly not true and realistic portrayal of Life in Indian Slums.
Hype made by discussions and illusions by mainstream media always concerns me more because it never gives due credits to true gems. For example, i really wonder how hype created by media and Swiss supporters around Tennis star Federer disguised his more losses against Spanish champion Rafael Nadal in their bouts till date. After Expressing my opinion I feel that one should not get swayed by highlights and opinions shown by mainstream media and not think that what media shows is best in the world.
