For past two months

I could hear these words,

Buy 1 get 1 free1 + 1 free

50% offer

75% offer

2+1 free…

It also hacked the radio stations where I could hear from RJ’s saying, Aadi offer1+1 song free :)

People are that crazy coming early in the morning, standing in a long queue getting things purchased. Could it be possible to sell the eminence materials for such low cost?Are people really aware of the quality???

Unless they are conscious that quality and price are directly proportional, nobody can change them.

My Corporate Teacher

I could say Iam not from any metro city. My schooling and graduation was from down south of TN. Iam very new to this corporate culture. I am unaware of all this hi-tech things. Still I could remember my initial days @ WIPRO how I addressed my colleagues “Sir’s” & “Mam’s”.If my manager asked me something I do not know what made me to stand up and answer him.But soon I blended with this kind of way of life.Corporate culture taught me to,Address your colleague (Whoever it may be, how old they may be) only by their names.

For whatever reason and person (How big they may be) you can address them,In your handy way (Might be funny to hear now, But it took some time for me to adjust with)With all these, my life moved just like that for six months in this corporate arena. I am a kind of person who hesitates to speak (Not because I don’t like,But when I speak they say I could not hear you)

I do not know how the project will be, its life cycle, requirement gathering, analysis, testing etc etc etc.But when I joined for a team, I got a new lead (I can say my corporate teacher) who taught me many things. I can say I identified rapid growth in me which made me proud to say that Iam one among the experienced person who can handle all the above said things.

I take this great occasion (Teachers day) to pay my respect and gratitude for making me what Iam now.

Am I accountable for this???

Sundays make me to see the sun only at noon. (I know many join with me) But that day made me to wake up early because nobody was there at my home.I know one would sleep happily,if nobody was there.True….I too thought the same. But my freedom was detained by my cousin and by her friend.They told me that they will join me for lunch.So I had to cook (Out of compulsion) for them atleast. So I started my preparation with vegetable cutting etc.

Things went on fine and fortunately my dishes also came out very well :) She came by 11.00 in the morning along with her friend. We whiled away the time chatting nicely. Tired of speaking, which also made us feel hungry and we decided to have lunch.Once she saw all the dishes, she exclaimed, “Hey is it you who prepared all the items?” :shock: Iam a pure veggie and she too… But when she asked me, why I did not cook egg? I came to know I was blind. She told me since nobody was around, I can take the liberty to cook and eat. “Please help me akka” she said…I screamed at her saying I don’t have all those here. But she ignored all my words,decided to get it from outside.

Here is what happened where I got a shock of my life….She came back home and started cooking it.I just accompanied her for cooking (Though I did not even touch it).When she opened the shell to put it in tawa I saw a chick sitting inside the shell. It is definitely not possible for me to explain the situation :(

The chicken was not matured enough to come out of the shell even. It really made me and my cousin cry. Besides all rancid, rotten things we could remember only one. We killed its life. Still now I could remember how the chicken sat inside the shell.It spoiled everything and everything.My cousin’s friend convinced both of us saying “If u did not do that somebody else might have did that”

Even though I pondered over many convincing statements, the guiltiness in me did not get vanished. This bitter experience is something which I would never want to recollect,this is breaking my heart till now… :(

An Ode to Friendship

I am not so very good in extempore. The day when I spoke in my induction training, (An initial crash course for fresher’s at Wipro) really made me wonder.
The trainer asked every one of us to deliver a speech on some topic. Some described about their natives, some on relations, movies etc…The theme flashed immediately to my mind was “FRIENDS”. Very tenaciously I addressed the audience and delivered my speech.After completing my speech I could feel the enthusiasm and spirit in my mind :)

I questioned myself, where I have been for all these days? What made me to do so?
Then I realize that the topic which I have chosen made me speak effortlessly. It also made me to comprehend “When the feelings are true and the words are from your heart” you can reach greater heights.

Yes. That’s true. When I started addressing the audience I can think of about only one person.She is a very close friend of mine whom I can share all my feelings. Our friendship is not long long years old, its just six years.

My college days started with her.I would like to describe much about my college.(Not here...Probabaly in a separate blog ;) ) My happiest moments are when Iam with her. She has taken enough care of me in a way that I dnt miss her, until now though we are apart.I consider our friendship as a gift. It involves many many sweet memories that stay not for a while but for my lifetime.Iam lucky enough to mention about her and our friendship here, on her b’day that too on this friendship week :D Glad to pen few lines for you...

I have met you few years ago
No matter whats the reason
We became frnz !!!
You are more a sister to me
Sometimes a mother...

You made me laugh
When Iam sad
You made me cry
For no reasons

No fights
No misunderstanding
No arguments
Really a hard one
That no one can break this

Your love, affection and care
Gave me strength
Gave me faith
Gave me confidence

Still I could remember the days
You drove away all my tough times
And shared my burden

Many a things
Difficult to list

All I wish you is
A long beautiful life
Abundant blessings from God
Good family
Good relatives and
Good frnz

All I can say is
Iam here like this
Its you because...

Iam cherishing the sweetest
Memories we had all...

A very happy friendship day to all :D

Short Shorter Shortest ...

It was exactly two and half years ago I heard the word EOD for the very first time when I joined WIPRO. This corporate term has made me perplexed. I decided to Google (an elixir of life I can say) to know what it exactly means.

It just thrown me with some bunch of meanings (Acronyms/Abbreviations) out of which I picked (short listed out of my ignorance :( ) few.

Again I happened to see some clusters...

* End Of Day
* End Of Data
* End Of Discussion
* Every Other Day
* Entry On Duty
* Entering Office Date and so on…

Having some more in mind whether if it would fall under this relevant category :roll: , I decided to get it confirmed from my collogue asking, “Does he mean to say, end of the day ???” (As though I am aware it ;) )

I heard the reply “S” which made me feel happy (Yeppyyy Iam rite :lol: )

In the same way I came across the term LOC. It again stands for

* Line Of Code
* Lines Of Credit
* Line Of Control
* Level Of Care
* Logic Of Constraints
* Loop On-line Control
* Letter Of Conditions
* Local Operator Console
* Line Of Communication and so on…

It really made me blink where and when to use :roll:

The list does not end with this, which really made me to question, why all these necessary ?Does they really consume much time when it has been used in full form orDo they really save time when it is abbreviated ???

Eventually Abbreviations/Acronyms share us some semantic and phonetic meaning which should not be a confused one.

Do you have any such experience ???

Heavy-Eyed !!!

There are loads of funny moments which you enjoy happening around you. One such thing which I witnessed is Heavy-eyed people getting caught during meetings or classroom sessions.

Out of compulsion they are forced to attend such sessions, which drive them to sleep.I used to observe one of my class mate getting punish for sleeping in history classes,(from standard 6th till 9th… I am sure :-) )

I also observe people enjoy themselves in their own dream land, in meetings which run with sober and serious discussions.The funniest of all is that some chief guests on the dais are also major contributors for this.Recently I heard Ministers and MP’s sleep in LokSabha meetings, who are actually in the respectable position as representatives for their constituencies.

Despite the fact “Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing”,Do all this really fall & end under funniest category or does it make any impact (Either on Presenter or Observer or Sleeper?)

Your views or experience on this !!!

Comprehend to Comprehend !!!

It was the time when academic year begins for the nursery school and teacher handles classes for standard-I students.

Teacher: Dear students !!! You all have been promoted from kinder garden. Its time for you all to learn many new things. So I begin my class with mathematics.
Students: (With a wonderful smile listening excitedly)
Teacher: An arithmetic operation includes Addition, Subtraction………..………..………..(Explained much about all these calculations. Out of curiosity to know their understanding teacher fired a question to a last bench student-obviously last bench seaters are the victims because of elevation :-) )I am giving you two apples. Again I would like to give you two more. Tell me how much do you have with you now?
Student: (After thinking for some time… answered) Five
Teacher: (Repeats the question again and expecting the correct answer this time)
Student: (Answered tenaciously) Five
Teacher: (After some time …) Tell me which is your favorite fruit?
Student: Mango
Teacher: Fine. I will ask you a question. If you answer this, then I will give you a mango.
Student: :-)
Teacher: (Repeats the same question with mango instead of apple and expecting for the correct answer)
Student: (With no qualm…. answers) Four
Teacher: (Felt very happy and appreciated him. Teacher again triggered the same question with apple instead of mango this time and waiting for the answer anxiously)
Student: (Answers again as…) Five
Teacher: (Got annoyed and beaten up him nicely) What made you think like this?
Student: You gave me four and I already have one with me in my lunch bag. So it’s five...
Teacher: (Shocked)

Whenever we question others we look for the answers only in one angle. We are not seeing things from others point of view. It is because we look at the truth through the screen of an intuition.Misunderstanding causes allegation and quarrel finally breaks the relationship even. To avoid misunderstanding we “Comprehend ourselves to Comprehend others better”

Here who misunderstood actually…Teacher or the student???

Fathers’ Day !!!

A beautiful day dedicated to all fathers, celebrating fatherhood to honor them. I am very lucky to initiate my blog for him...

My DadPersistence of perpetuity !!!

I remember days when it took a long time for me to sleep….
You would read story and sing till I sleep
I remember days when it took a long time for me to do home work….
You would sit with me till I finish it off
I remember days when it took a long time for me to walk….
You would wait till I follow your footsteps

Your hands
Taught me to pray,
Taught me to read,
Taught me to write,
Taught me to work hard,
Taught me to sacrifice,
Taught me to be generous … so on…

I remember your hands working hard till they bleed.
Forfeit selflessly for me…..
All I want is to live a life again for YOU and only for YOU.
