Liberty

We tend to take liberty with people who care for us. People whom we think will stand our anger, our agony and our brickbat, sometimes I wonder why?

People are always nice to strangers (especially a woman) or to someone in office than their own close friends or relatives. It doesn't mean that they totally ignore them, people tend to lend a helping hand to friends then to their own relatives. Somehow, I don't understand this behavior and I have noticed a bunch of people doing the same thing.

Just to quote on instance, A guy was talking to him mom over phone, just when he started the conversation his boss came to his seat for some work, immediately the guy put the phone down and said to his mom that he shall call her in 2 mins. Probably she wanted to tell something to him, she thought that he would say to the manager to come after sometime or something like "can I call you in 2 mins..." But all that concerned him was that his manager is standing next to him and he needs his attention.

What a dreadful feeling when someone just hangs up, giving importance to things in life that doesn't matter at all. Giving importance to things that matter to you most is what should be our motive, ok...I am going to call my wife ...So bye for now.

Wise decisions

In life at some point of time, we have to take decisions, decision to choose money over security, prosperity over stability, family over work, personal objective over professional objective. I think decisions taken at this point of time makes or break a man.

We hear of so many successful people around and I think they all would have taken the right decision at some point of time, again none of them is a wrong choice but just that at any given situation only one can be chosen and if you make a wrong choice then there is nobody else to blame to.

There can be other situations also in which you would come across equally compelling decisions, it's then your character is tested. If you think that you have never been offered a choice then it's your mistake, you have never opted to choose rather live with whatever has been provided to you.

One interesting story that comes to my mind is “Mr. Sen once complained to the railway station master in 1909 that while he was attending nature’s call the train was flagged off and he had to rush all the way back, he wanted the station master to take a decision to punish the guard, instead the station master took a wise decision to install toilets in train….”

Wasn’t that a wise decision!

Outsourcing cribs...


The recent publications about outsourcing jobs to developing countries for reducting costs has picked up, now you see these posts everywhere. You even come to know that there are associations being formed to stop outsourcing from happening.

I am very sure that Indians are not seen as Job seekers but job stealers. If this is happening just to get a bunch of votes then this is most bizzare thing happeing to the world.

Any comments?
