In US

Atlast i am able to come out of this jetlag and able to write this blog after reaching US. This is my first visit here and seeing things here with a VOW.. roads, traffic rules, people greeting each other.. everything looks different...

people never think about breaking Ice even if you meet them for the first time. They just say.. hi how are u doing today... well which rarely happens in india.. i am not saying india is not good... india has lot of good things :)

I was feeling sleepy all the time.. after reaching here on wednesday.. though i went to a movie with my team.. as a part of team outing.. i mostly slept during the movie "star wars". but it was good to watch people coming with that light sword and they even clapped at the end of the movie... all new experience... the theatre more looked like a Studio-5 in satyam complex or PVR Classis cinema theatres...

one of my teammate got a big bag of popcorn.. myself and my manager tried eating it all the time... but we couldn't simply finish it.. it was that BIG :))

food is the horrible thing here, i don't know if its just me because of the people who come with me for lunch.. they go for all kinds of food.. mexican, greek, chinese, thai.... i liked chinese, because it was more like a food which i got used to... or rather i have taken it earlier.. mexican foods are no good... you need a big mouth to eat that rolls.. hahaha.. i tried one.. in LA airport..

now i have to plan for the weekend... lets see.. if i can go out somewhere.. hopefully i will go somewhere nice next week.. as it is a long weekend next week..

missing my family terribly in india, missing india and missing all the friends out there... india is heaven for me :))

Attitude is everywhere

Having said that... i feel attitude comes to picture in day to day... and in each phase of our life. Few occasions where i felt really worried about individuals.. who were not upto that mark where they can be really... One day we happened to have dinner at office.. and i don't whose brilliant idea was that to put the Pizza on top of the TT table which was there, thank god they used some newspaper spread over it before putting all the pizza boxes and pepsi bottles. I felt like they should not have used that TT table in first place, they could have just removed it and put other tables instead. Some people had good food and left their paper cups, in which they had pepsi in that table itself... and to the height they have put the pepsi bottle on top of bare TT table... and droplets due to the chillness on the pepsi was just getting to the table... where do they have their brains... because i have seen people who use to complaint about just anything.. and TT table not properly being maintained is just one of them... how sad :( finally the end of the dinner came... and everyone just left the paper cups they have just used... the pizza boxes... on the TT table itself... is it not a problem with them... or is it just me... who has a difference in me... i don't know... i really thought of the attitude... if they feel cleaning is "not their job" attitude.. then how do these people will ever shine in proffessional and personal life... :( It took hardly few minutes for me to wrap up the who thing with that news paper and throw it to the thrash... I did not feel bad about me being in that situation.. rather i felt about the fellows who have made most use of the table for TT... i don't know if its attitude problem or something else :(

Another day, we had a conference where one person was giving some presentation from a remote location and it was just a telecon and ppt presentation thru' messenger or net messaging... while at the start of the presentation we had around 18 people.. as the time went by... it got sized down to 9.. and finally 6 towards the end of the presentation... few people who knows the topic which was covered at that time were also there and some newbies were also there.... people who already knew it.. could have just left without disturbing others... instead the mute was done from our side and.. these people have started mocking on what the other person was saying.... seriously something wrong with the attitude of those people... isn't it..?? am i wrong here as well... :(


Its just an usual day.. i reached office and went to park my bike.. i saw most of the bike were in the front row and no one have used the row behind it... which made a little gap.. to reach all those unused space... people parking.. feels for their comfort and they never think about other's comfort... though it took sometime i decided to park in the first row instead of filling the gap in the front row... one guy came in at the same time.... and he just filled the gap in front row and i asked him to park in the inner row.. instead of filling gap and making the inner row just unusable... he said.. he would need to take the bike in a easier way.. if he leaves before others does... he also thought of his comfort.. and is it not a selfish attitude??? am i still wrong ?? :(


Treating a bearer from hotel to talking to everyone, reacting to situations and what not... attitude attitude comes in everywhere and i wish people have a better attitude in general... I know i am not a perfectionist, but still i starve to be one :(

Inspiration!!

I just started thinking what is inspiration??

Well, What is inspiration??

The Inspiration what i could think over is, "special influence of somebody/some goal" ???

"Special Influence of Somebody" - well well most of us might come across only this kind IMHO. Like getting inspired by some person, say whoever achieved earlier in the related field or in some field or in general. Vivekananda inspires yougnsters with his sayings, Gandhiji inspires, some scientist inspiring another... some cricketer inspiring another budding star.. and the list goes on... but what if those person were also looking out for influence from someone else, when there was no one actually to follow.... ?? this question only made me to come to the second kind of Inspiration. Getting inspired by Some Goal??

"Special Influence of Some Goal" - when someone starts working towards some goal, they face lot of issues/problems/hindrances and it grows on and on... but the steady concentration and the inspiration to reach that goal grows with failures and that makes the person to achieve.. isn't it?? Choosing the right goal... believing in that it is achievable will make one to get inspired and work towards that goal?? oh no... whats my goal ?? %-6 whats the way to reach it??? Too many thoughts coming into my mind... why sudden thoughts?? whatever.. if i get to know my achievable goal soon... i will be happy :`-(
