One of my first mentors told me once that “the reward for good work is more work“! I dismissed her words, of course, as soft coercion. It can’t be great news when your team lead decides to throw in such motivational quotes, for no reason, in the middle of a gruelling work week! Yet these are the very words that I would recollect, every time I was thrown into a maze soon after cracking the one before.

German Work Culture
It would be completely unfair to have come to a place on business visit and to end up without any word on the new work culture!
(more…)Making A Documentary
Last weekend for me was totally different! I was taking part in an Organization level contest for making a documentary on how eco-friendly my company is. It was supposed to be a team event, but there wasn’t much of a team, save me and my wife; but I am glad we make a great pair 🙂
It was great fun and a wonderful experience. Though I am no stranger on the other side of the lens, it was my first attempt in making a movie of some “professional standard”! Neither was I too keen on following set norms – so I simply let my thoughts come alive while making the video;. the cast being just my wife – it was pretty obvious no one would risk ruining a potential career option by appearing in my film, except for this girl 😀
(more…)I “REAP”ed My Reward Today!
In so far I’ve only one small trophy to savor in my life. This one was while taking second place in a Dumb-Charades competition held at my college (we lost the gold thanks to a “sleepy” mistake by yours truly)! So today when I happened to receive another one and that too from some corporate heads I must admit I felt VERY glad.
It was not for any technical prowess; it wasn’t just another trophie or award; it happened to be for the thankless job of monitoring one of the most wildest place in corporate world – the Bulletin Board (a place where everyone feels he’s the king, minister et all) of my company. Truth be spoken, it is for a far more noble commitment from my side – monitoring the only literary forum of the BB.
(more…)Mysore Trip
Guess it’s a long time pending from my side – my jolly good trip to Mysore. What was really good about this trip was not just that the place was awesome and welcome break from mundane life, but also the fact that I happened to travel with my mom after a looooooooong time and more importantly get to know my fianceé much better (which I believe was the actual reason for accompanying me on this).
Okay I won’t be rambling about how we spent the time but would be more focused on where and when. First up was a nice settling down and refreshing time, after a 10 hour train trip, at my fianceé’s place. She had gone back to her work and had decided to join us after we were all geared up to go.
