My Excogitation

Picture Courtesy: Pinterest There is always a never ending argument in my head about which is better a pattern or chaos. A monotonous pattern could not surprise you and cause a headache, but this means that there is no learning from it, this also means that you are never in the unknown thus experiencing life in one way till the end. On the other hand chaos means mostly being in the unknown; but this means that you have a headache to solve any issues that arise, this also means that you have the opportunity to learn a lot thus being ready to most of the life challenges that is being thrown at you. When ever I was put in a chaotic scenario in my professional life I would always be mentally fatigued and thus wanting to find a pattern to create a momentary satisfaction and when I do end up in a monotonous schedule in life, I do get bored very quickly and find a little it of chaos to get me excited about stuff. This would not be an argument if I had a substantial impact on this

Most of them says that it is a corporate ladder that we climb over the years. But now I feel its more like a food chain than a ladder. It is more like a mouse evolving into a cat, rather than climbing up the ranks. I have had the privilege to work with a delivery head who would get involved with each person under them (nearly 200) and also have worked with a person who doesn't even greet or smile when there is eye contact. I have seen a lenient leader who couldn't get any good work done by their team and a strict leader who got the best out of people. Upon looking back I have a few people who actually made an impression on me. On the deadline day when you have to give a demo, the process which has to reach from point a to b, gets stuck in bet

This was mine and Vijay's fourth bike trip back in 2012 or 2013, I don't remember the date. We had planned for a one day trip, we decided upon lepakshi and nandi hills.We started around seven in the morning. Not encountering much of a traffic inside the city, we crossed the city in about 40 min.There was a lot of speculation about an uproar in Andhra. Keeping that in mind we drove off past the international airport. Driving on the Bangalore-Hyderabad highway was one of the most enjoying drives that I had while driving outside of Bangalore. The highway doesn't have any speed breakers as such. All along the side are quite a barren land with a lil bit of greenery. The wind is very very heavy, which actually drifts the bike away from a straight line. We reached Lepakshi in the estimated time. The temple in Lepakshi is known for the roof top paintings, whatever is left of them. I was expecting a lot more of visual pleasure of the paintings, but most of them was left in

Finding inspiration is one of the toughest things these days. People depend on famous people quotes or works to get inspired. There are many talks and sessions conducted just for this cause. In between all these we tend to forget common people acts, with which one can get inspired. Recently I had one inspiration like this. It was a common man like us who inspired me. There is this guy in the housekeeping staff in my office, his action on that day inspired me a lot. Just to give a background on him; he is one of the very friendly housekeeping staff member. He normally enjoys his work, I have never seen him being sad at workplace. Greets many people with a broad smile every day in and day out. One day we had a mobile charger lying in our cubicle. For fun I had put up a post-it (as shown in the picture above). He came to me to ask what was that I had written on both the post-its. After explaining him, I offered him that charger and told him that was for free. He refused to t

Off late I feel that Hi is not a proper way to greet people. Hello is much more majestic way to give salutation or greet people in English language. On the other hand Hi is more of a casual way of greeting people; and being casual is too mainstream. I know that there is nothing wrong in greeting people with Hi and nothing right about greeting people with Hello. Its just that I feel whenever you greet a person whom you care then greeting them majestically is always better than a casual way. Don't get me wrong here, I am not expecting an hello from everyone. It is just that I don't feel good if I wish Hi to a person whom I care. Greeting with a Hi is like when u know someone but also when you are in a hurry.  While some might argue that Hi implies more personal greeting and Hello more formal way. Hello indicates the politeness in a person and Hi is just an easy, quick and careless way of greeting people. Just imagine your life being narrated by Morgan Freeman, then he g

At this age of 27, I am currently living my childhood again. I ain't no time traveler, so this is no story about Space-time continuum or any stuff like that. I have this experience of living my childhood again when I play with my niece. My niece is one little being who gets happy for even a small thing, and get angry for no reason at all. My home becomes more festive when she comes. My parents will be running behind to catch her. She walks everywhere; be it on the floor, be it on chocolate, be it on a ball, be it on a keyboard; she just doesn't care. Walking makes her happy and she just walks. When given a paper, or a tissue or anything tear-able; she just tears. Scribbling is one of the most fun things that she does. And she scribbles on many things. I have a few of my walls in my room decorated by her. And that is one of the very few stuffs that makes my room look more lively. Its fun when you watch these kinda cute little things, but you would enjoy it more when you are b
