Monologue

How do you keep yourself combative in this highly competitive world? By wearing a mask. A mask of politeness, wisdom and benevolence.

The speakerphone says,’Hello’? And you know what to do in order to save your job.

Whom do you admire most and for what qualities? A person, who is an egregious liar, good at deceiving, has got no moral character and is miles away from rationality. How to get sperm stains out of a white bedsheet ? Use saline water. To get blood off of objects, try polishing them with talcum powder. Polishing works everywhere.

What do you call a person who believes that life’s all about innovation and creative thinking? Dead.

What do you call a person who has a reasoning mind and tries to draw a line between a creator and a dependent? Dead.

What all things attract you; provide you comfort (and solace) and peace of mind? Flashy gadgets, concrete buildings, blinding lights, and fast moving cars… What is sharper than a sword and shines like a diamond? Paparazzi. Time is running out. You feel a little short of energy with each passing day. Everything slows down eventually

How do you react when you see that injustice is prevailing everywhere? We act dead.

The speakerphone yells again.”What do we do next ?”.

You know that calling a right person wrong would lead to humiliation. Follow your instincts. Let’s be crystal clear about who we love and who we hate.

The speakerphone rings again.Been there, done that.

Imagine

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

First blood

20 January, 2011, 3:48 PM : It’s been exactly a month and 5 hours at this new job and I am back to my usual ways. No work, getting bored. Smoking cigarettes, getting bored. Why don’t they create a policy for normal internet access which would automatically become effective when one’s having no work? Try mapping the internet access rights to the project schedule. Very high level concept but this should work, I believe.
These internal company web portals that claim to have useful information is not at all entertaining.Soporific articles, geeky interface, painted in red and yellow, don’t solve your purpose at all but bore you to death. I was hoping to have something witty to write in this post, but, that has eluded me. May be next time, I could write something better.

I’d like to share a couple of things off the topic. I have realized (lately) that I suck at time management. No matter how hard I try, I am always behind my schedule. Also, I am bad at planning things. In fact, most of the times, I don’t plan at all. So, that makes me a double sinner. I am 25 now and can’t afford to be like this forever. But have no clue how to get rid of this.

However, I am really happy for one thing. Earlier, I used to sleep till noon even on office days. Constant nagging and lectures regarding punctuality and discipline at work by my ex manager was a regular affair for me. Now, I have developed this habit of waking up early. I used to think that this’s something I'd never achieve. So, in a way, it’s an accomplishment. Those who actually know me just can’t digest my so called feat; it’s a miracle for them. It’s been just 20 days in the process but I think I can keep this thing running. And I believe this transformation is also going to bring some other changes in me as well. Positively, some laurels and accolades too.
I have a lot to write about music, movies and my new addiction, Twitter. But that’d make this post mammoth-ly large (read: boring).Also, I don’t mix pleasure with business. Hence, signing off.
To all those who cared to read this shit till the end,"Have a great life".

tata !
