Enjoying Moments

What an awesome match it was… A fitting finale to the enthralling competitive event. Both India and Pakistan deserve accolades for the way they have come back after the humiliating loss in the 50 over world cup.

Dhoni’s men have shown that they will not buckle under pressure. I really enjoyed the match till the last moment. It would have been a complete show if only some team members had shown some carefulness while holding the Tricolor after their victory.

123.... Never ending....

There are a lot of articles on this 123 agreement, its pros and cons and ifs and buts and then and there’s and whys and why not’s. But one thing is clear - I don’t understand ABC of it. The discussions are too technical for me to have a clue on what is happening. My only wish – Government doesn’t consider it as an affront on its ego to study what its critics are saying. After all, most of the critics are no-nonsense guys who have extreme knowledge on the subject. They have been with the industry for decades, highly contributing to its growth. Let it handle it professionally and in an unbiased manner. After all, nuclear energy is expected to contribute much lesser than the other sources.

'You'

You opened up this world for me.
You have undergone so many hardships for my sake.
You lost peace when I didn’t turn up from office on time.
You have protected me from lots of difficulties by taking them upon yourself.
You have sown the seeds of my growth.
You have given me my most precious asset, my education.
You taught me honesty and integrity.
You taught me the nuances of life.
You always ensured my preferences got prioritized over yours.

These are just a small portion of what you did for me. What am I going to do in return for you??

Thank you Mom…

Learnings

It has been a long time since I published a post - have been supposedly busy at work and with chit-chatting with fiancee. But the reason is simple, I just did not plan my time well. For all the so-called pressures, I could have easily written some 10 articles in the last 20 days. If I do a time study, I realise how much time I end up wasting in a day, (excluding work hours and the lovie-dovey part of course).

That brings me to the topic of work pressure. I am actually in a high pressure environment, where most of the times people have to be on their toes. I found it difficult initially, ( still feel so btw), but on the positive side, it gives lots of learnings. The art of prioritization is taught here. Unless you do so, you are doomed. You are fired indiscriminately, which severely affects your ego. On the other hand, on the personal front, it helps you in various areas like proper planning, communication, delegation ( this is the most difficult one I say) and above all, forces you to concentrate on the right things at the right time. I have observed that but for these mental pressures, one just doesn't prioritize and ends up delaying activities. He may be ruthless, but I like him for the fact that he follows what he preaches and helps me in my personal development. Thank you Sir...
