A day comes with lot of hopes and challenges. I cherish for my success and then look for cause of failure. The sad feelings of failure ruin my joy of success. I sometimes have the "Soul Curry" by "Big B" and sleep to get ready for one more day.
Tuesday, March 23, 2004 ::: LIFE OF IT PROFESSIONAL
I start my day by sitting on a chair,
giving my monitor a hard, cold stare,
by evening I m done with another coding,
Oh! this has become a routine so boring.
Like all, I entered this field with great hope,
jobs were many and there was plenty of scope,
dreams of joining the likes of Gates,
and a chance to make money in the states.
Thus, I entered the world of bytes,
only to realize that reality bites,
coz a programmer's life, isn't all that cozy,
the bed of software, isn't all that rosy.
seeing the monitor all day n night,
have taken the power of my eyesight,
late to bed n late to rise,
has made me wealthy, but not healthy n wise.
working holidays, busy weekends,
no time for family, no time for friends,
my job steals most of my time,
helplessly, I watch this crime.
just for few bits of money,
I forgot those moments with my honey,
when I should be out - having fun,
I m telling a comp, what's to be done.
I hate u, yet I cant get away,
coz, I need the money u pay,
god, to thee I pray,
if there be one - show me the way.
I was participant in the 'STRESS MANAGEMENT' training program arranged in the company. It was one of its kind and especially very different than TECHNICAL training programs. It was my first time to attend such program.
Trainer was a young guy just reaching his 30 and had spiritual blend to his program.
He gave few pointers to manage the stress.
1) Just recollect 5 BEST things happened in your life every morning.
2) Practise OM kaara for 10 minutes 3 times a week (This has nothing to do with Religion).
3) Practise deep breathing exercises with closed eyes as below
Inhale for 4 Seconds, Hold it for 4 Seconds and expel for 6 Seconds.
Inhale for 4 Seconds, Hold it for 6 Seconds and expel for 8 Seconds.
Inhale for 4 Seconds, Hold it for 8 Seconds and expel for 12 Seconds.
This breathing exercise done in the background music of SATAR generates very positive,pleasant vibrations.
If you are frequently hearing this word in recent time, you are hearing it right. OUTSOURCING has created biggest job threats in developed nations and opportunities for developing nation.
These are same countries who were hiring the creamy Indian techies in era of Y2K and dotcoms. Now they started hating these techies since it poised biggest job threats. No matter whatever way these countries try to stop this wave (passing the New Jersy bill, stopping H1, making strict VISA policies...), its irresistable.
Darvin said it so right, "Afterall the species which survive are not just intelligent but who can adapt to change."
BhagvaadGita says "The only stable thing in the world is CHANGE".
Now what are you waiting for? You can also make a change by posting comments on this post!!!
Since a long time my CREATION is tested and used extensively by my users. I am thinking of using my creation and develop a generic site to send the Blog comments as SMS. What you think?
It was occassion of 4th JULY....yes US INDEPNDENCE DAY, when me, Sachin and Anil went to see the FIREWORKS. The ARCH in St. Louis has got connection with history and its also one of the mostly visited creation. We saw the AMAZING firework, Air Show and listened to some great music. Yes it was to celebrate the INDEPENDENCE.
But with recent IRAQ war in mind, I was thinking
Can you be INDEPENDENT by invading others INDEPENDENCE?
My life is full of happenings. Its just a month that I was relaxing in Pune and all of a sudden I have to fly to CHICAGO. I made a mistake, it was not relaxing but a debating time.Relatives saying 'Get Married right now', I am saying I can't chose my partner in 10 minutes of talk. We modernise in every aspect of life , we wear modern clothes, we work on modern technologies, we want modern money(Dollar,Pounds,Yen...) , why dont we follow modern thoughts when it comes to Marriage?
Do you have any book on "1000 ways to chose your partner?" :-)
I am happy that my stay in Chicago wont be that long. It was Japan in the beginning, UK in the middle, USA now and whats next?
