Sinning is the best part of REPENTANCE

Well let's face it, no one is perfect in today's world but then again who do we have to blame someone else for it. Sinning and bending rules have become so much fun and exciting that walking the straight line has really become a drag. I say its all about justification, if you can justify you can cruise...

My management is on my back on Why do you take that ‘breather’ of yours every five minutes?
I like it. I like having those few minutes to just relax a bit and think of things other than work. ( I am an IT professional, so there isnt much meaningful work to start with...) These are those very few moments that help to maitain my intelligence even today after 3 years of software building experience. Dont get me wrong, I still can design a fool proof neural architecture on the best of Microsoft dotNet framework without even breaking a sweat which makes me good in what I do, but this just doesnt stop me from comparing myself with the guys sitting in a small room and coming up with ideas which result in a creation like The NIKE Cricket ad or the Nescafe inspiration. Ever felt what an architecture feels when he stands in front of his building and says.... "That's one's mine" a feeling I just dont get seeing my solution being published over planet E-COM.
Do you realize how much time you end up wasting every day because of that? Try cutting that out. It reduces productivity and disrupts concentration.
Now I can see that grin on all your faces cos each one of you has faced a similar form of verbal anecdote.I don’t think it is a waste of time and quite frankly, I couldn’t care less about what you call ‘productivity and yeah, lest I forget, my concentration span is less than 20 minutes anyway. And please stop nagging me about work. I don’t like it. I work because I have to, so stop trying to ‘motivate’ me already!Don’t you have any pride? Don’t you feel like you should fulfill your potential and do something worthwhile?Refer above for the first bit and as for the second, trust me, you don’t want to know what I call worthwhile…

My oh so very fortunate female senior acquintances say You are capable of being so sociable at times! Why can’t you always be like that?Perhaps the temporal aspect is less relevant in the ‘at times’ which may have more to do with the recipients of the afore-mentioned behaviour.Lately all my explanations and sputters disguised as outburts are greeted by a very common comment ...

You know that is not true, so stop fibbing.Untrue? Perhaps it is, come to think of it, when you say that from a solely grammatical and syntactical perspective, but what about the circumstances that surround such instances? Call it choice or whatever you will, but there is always an environment.That would be hypocrisy, wouldn’t it? And let’s face it, what I say is also true of purely social interactions.Some people deserve better and some worse. As for hypocrisy, once again I suppose that depends on perspective and the priority one gives to his various endeavors...

So by now you should have a pretty fair idea about the very so demanding IT world and teh panache by which unsolicited advices are provided which often take shape as orders and reflect on your appraisal cycles too.

Why don’t you learn from your errors and just take the plunge for once in your life?
And on the same note, why don’t I try wearing my ethnic wear to work tomorrow?Stop being the clown and think seriously about what I am saying. Time and conviction has cost you so dearly in the past. As they say, ‘Better to bend than be broken’.Try telling that to an oak tree.Then stop trying to be an oak tree and learn from a willow.Then again, perhaps you would appreciate the ethnic apparels, huh?Talking sense to you is like trying to break a brick wall with one’s head!Now there are people in some part of this world who can actually do that....

It’s time you started loving yourself. Nobody can love anyone or anything, unless he or she loves his or her self first!
Yeah, Narcissus was such a great example of that. Ever wondered why the vain are so alone?It’s got nothing to do with vanity. Everything does not exist only in extremes, you know.True and yes, I do know that, but could you please enlighten me on that illuminating opening comment? Somehow, the more I contemplate the subject, the less coherent your remark seems to be.Well, it’s simple. A person who feels inadequate would be so consumed in his own perceived shortcoming that they would engulf his being and become at least a pseudo-reality.Perhaps a good read on the difference between confidence and vanity is in order for you. Oh and of course, a refresher course on verbosity would suit you well too.

Creativity at its peak

Officialy I just moved Nescafe ads to position 2 in my books after this one...

Back up or get backed up...

Seems like a journal from an IT geek telling you the fringe benefits and moral obligation of Backing your data. Well not to solely disappoint you this post is a mere anachronism of my thoughts from this weekend. For those of you who seek for a point in the end of this blabber, I suggest you quit, cos lately speaking without a point and purpose has become more of a hobby for me which I thoroughly enjoy, so stop making that cynical face and get off my case.

Have you ever noticed how our society is finally getting along with the whole IT concept and outlook? The modern information age teaches us to keep backup of sensitive data to help us in time of crisis similar to our folks who still keep like 10 photocopies in separate file folders for “JUST IN CASE” moments which for in person I haven’t witnessed yet. Now what I wonder is that whether this critical concept from the burgeoning IT space applies to the ever so personal relationship space too? One of my friend just got out of a 6 year relationship, a thing he used to brag about and we used to envy. He termed it as LOVE, as for me I am not sure what it was. Point of the matter being does being true to someone really pays up in the longer run. Frivolous as it seems we all have seen a thing like this sometime in our lives either in first hand or as a passer by. Are relationships really getting that tough? The other day TOI published a very nice article on the present drift the poster boy Indian male is having towards the no hassle Love. According to it men my age have started to avoid getting into relationship to avoid interference to work or to shun them from the heart ache of a heart break. This means no more office romances and Barista dates phew!!! There goes my country’s economy. Jokes apart this is a pretty serious epidemic, when one never gets a return on his\her investments. Getting back to my friend, he was a pretty smooth player and had she not walked by, he still would have been going on those mindless charades of dates and movies without the prospect of settling down. Once he takes himself off the “MARKET” and give up the eternal search, his prime investor pulls out the invested fund and crashing comes down my pal’s scrip value. So if I were to evaluate this situation my friend turns out to be a dumb player who was foolish enough to believe that the female would stand up for him when the time arises or was he???

This brings me to this big moral dilemma… a girl always has an excuse to exit an agreement on the pretext of her family in turn signifying that she had a backup all this while but if the guy so as to even stays in touch with his “EX” he is termed as INFIDEL… well this doesn’t seem fair to me. Till the time we remain cautious we are termed to be emotionless freaks who are just in for the show and the moment we come near to the point where we start settling down suddenly the parental factor kicks in. I don’t want to sound like a misogynist pig all of a sudden and just to prove that I am not a sexist I believe the same goes for men walkers too. This has to be the most boring chain of thought I have had in ages yet it seems to bother me quite enough to write it down.

They say endurance and persistence are keys to make any relationship work, I wonder does anyone even know what it takes to be serious in relationship free from all variables… I obviously am totaly lost so I better put some whackiness back.... Why does life get so serious???
