Valentinizing myself

Today is Valentine's day. What are you doing dude? Writing blogs sitting at office...Ooops!!

This is first time (Since I know about it)I am not feeling the urge to make my feelings gone valentinized. The reason being, probably work. Since morning I have not yet talked with anyone about it; all are busy with their work, at least seems to be busy. I really think, the accountability and responsibility that your work gives you can help you many a times to keep yourself abstrain from some personal woos.

But it has the other site too. The same A & R can kill you in your personal life. I was imagining a life with my family here. Maa, Deuta and  their problems, Dada, Moina, their friends, sometimes relatives like Dangar Pehi who always think what I, deuta told are the absolute truths of the world, some characters like Mintu Da, who can never see other's good side___ This is called a complete life. I would have lotsa problems at office-- MOM, Job-failed, ETL disabled, escalations, Reports,Site not working; but at home.. It will be all the cool people with their nice/stupid ideas and all. Each day I would have come to office thinking at the end of the day some cool things are waiting for me. Then even if my manager made me listen to hard words, I would be having my maa, moina at home who would have curse him hundred times along with me.

But, the life goes on... Today I am writing about my mom, sis; after some day I will be writing about my wife/kids. Expectation will be same probably.

I don't want to write here about my own experiences__ khushi and gam aroung Valentine; but, for me, these type of days really give a food for thought.

Happy Valentines day, people !!!

Lead India

I have seen something very inspiring today..the final episode of Lead India. This really made me think what we  are doing, what we should, what we can etc. It is very difficult to have the phrase 'am happy with what I am doing now'. The way Nanavati and RK Mishra, the two finalists, were describing their dream project and the path to that destination__ people should take a pause and think. Adding to the situation, Charchi was telling his business idea which purely based on helping the rural talents to showcase their creativity and get the fruit. I have seen many people in the recent days, who are in search of an 'EXTRA'.  There should be some way to consolidate all these ideas. Then something should happen which can prioritize and initiate the whole process........ And this is where the whole plan come to a stop. I am telling 'some way', 'something', but not 'I will'. This is not only my problem, everyone is suffering from the same. And ultimately nothing is happening.

I, we need to change our attitude, approach to look at things.

Come, let's try....

Competency

I was thinking how one person can measure himself/herself. I am doing something; but I may not be doing something else. So how to measure? Leaving aside all the personal affair, I want to restrict my discussion only to professional field(Particularly For technical software professional, even reducing the audiences).But you all can of course look at it.

The pillers that I am going to mention used to be the SPOT award giving criterion for ASM COE in MIcrosoft. Forget its root cause, but the  they have come to those pillers, really great. In Microsoft, I always respect one thing-- PROCESS. everything and everyone here follow process. Though you can say sometimes it does not give the intended result, but for a huge company like MIcrosft, you cannnot survive without the word PROCESS.

Here I go...following attributes can act as a measure to judge who you are, where you are: 

·        Strategic

·        Passionate

·        Innovative

·        Dependable

·        Collaborative

·        Trusted Advisor

·        Technical Excellence

·        Leadership

·        Result Focus

I am not going into the detials of each if those(I have it with mine if you required).

Point I want to make here whenever YOu feel like judging yourself, try compare yourself in resect of those parameters.

Hmm..  All the best

The dawn

Hi, being in LIVE, I should have started writing blog here earlier. But the laziness and unapproaching attitude that I got from family hierarchy(Though I am trying hard to get rid of it) prevents me from pen down anything here till today. Of course, I have one valid reason too. Prevoiusly, I used to write blog on www.blogsource.com. But suddenly a few days back when I visited them, it was shut down. Thus all my blogs which I started long back at NIT-DGP(On the evening of the very day when the ECE guy of our batch committed suicide), and modified last during LEAP... all gone.

Now, being in Microsoft, I should use live Space; and if I am not doing my sixth sense will always convict me of guilt.Is it not a bit crazinees of my feelings. Anyways, to get out of the GREAT hierarchy virtue, I mentioned above, one spark had been required. Got that one in form of Alvaro. So, here I go.

All the best dude!!!!!
