15 December@Kolkata

'Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is.The most important product of his effort is his own personality'.
~ Erich Fromm

15 December was somehting...special....

Those who don't know about this date let me say that it was B'day bash date so what you are thinking...so..which gift you are going to give to me....he he he.......as someone has said 'Birthday is a chance for you to give presents to someone and make him or her feel good'.
On this day, I got up as usual...7 o'clock morning...I got a first call and 'you and I in this beautiful world green grass to sky' hey..... this is mobile ringtone and called by one of the dearest Senior from Banglore.

In this world everybody is so much busy that they don't get even time to make call but on 15th Dec at Capgemini office while working I was keep getting..Calls.....trin trin.....really..whole day I wasn't able to concentrate at my work..one hand holding mouse..for computer and other hand holding mobile and keep talking and talking as many wishes from friends.I could not stop others making calls as my friends were delighted to wish me HAPPY B'DAY.
Really..friends who are seven sea away from me also remebered my B'day and wished me
on phone.
Getting wishes on phone is definitly gives more pleasure than that of just sending mail for wishes.Oops..I am getting emotional....really missing all of you.....my sweet and caring friends
Hmmm...I am special to all of friend of mine...is not true hey what do you say...he he he .. :)

I had a great time at office with my team members though I don't like cutting cake even it's give me immense pleasure as thier hospitality was splendid to celebrate my B'day.
We always say, we should not look behind but in terms of age we always want to look behind..mean to say older one always want to be younger and it would be best if we go back to our lovely days 'childhood' ....So guys...it 's better to have start celebration with distributing chocolates to my teammates.
Birthday cakes. Lighted candles. Singing “Happy Birthday.” Receiving gifts.In almost every culture and nation on earth, virtually nothing is as universally celebrated as birthdays.
Saying “happy birthday” to friends and loved ones was society’s superstitious way of protecting them from evil spirits. Birthday thumps, bumps, pinches, etc., were said to bring luck and send away evil spirits. Party snappers, horns and other noisemakers were also intended to scare off bad-luck spirits.

SAP world

I am LIVING in SAP world those who don't know about SAP definitly would think what is SAP .Before answering to your question I would say read this blog and at last you will get the answer .
It's sucked me as mind was just revolving around the ABAP even I was not at work .
Those who don't know what's it I would say 'A Boring Programming Language'
he he he ......am I right?
Guys whether you believe or not ABAP....only ABAP and while logging to HDFC Internet Banking for money tranfer I enetred my SAP logon id and passwd and not only 2 times and third time HDFC Login id which was right but huh ...again entered password which I use to enter SAP world.
I am very much worried as same kind of incident happen earlier which was like I entered my SAP Logon passwd to Office machine and also to my Yahoo Messenger.
If, my mind will revlove so much around SAP there is no doubt that some day I would accidentally enter password on the microwave he he he ......am I right guys?
So what do you say ,is it not creating a problem....and you would say SAP stands for
'Supply A Problem' rather saying this I would have to maintain equilibrum of official and personal work and then definitly you would agree that
SAP is SYSTEMS,APPLICATIONS and PRODUCT for data processing
not a source which 'Supply A Problem' <> SAP.

Dhoom-> Dhoom2 -> ??

Dhoom(2004) watched in City of Pearls and Dhoom2(2006) watched in City of Joy---->??

Well..After 3 months I WATCHED movie in theatre....it was Dhoom2..night show..The movie is one of those movies where you just cherish the movie the first time and forget about it. It was a kind of time pass movie..huh time pass in night show...when I should have nice..sleep...and paid 190 bucks..for time pass...which was not worth..Movie was mixture of Stunt(Incredible) + Love(??) + Comedy(Headache)...The stunts and action scenes were awesome...Hirithik acted and also rocked well and I think without whom this movie would have been a soulless body.
I realize that the movie is not just about brawns, but brains too but end up Love story...which was't sound.
Rimi Sen had a brief and forgettable role and somewhere she lost in the movie ,means didn't appear..at all . It seems... director forgot Rimi Sen is also in the movie.......he he he he.
Ash came up with some stunt and end up with Love.....Ash role turned to ash
Bipasha came up as Cop and at the end Sonali(Bipasha) turned to Monali(Bipasha) who was coping as bikni show...along with Ali... he he he...!!!!
First half there were sereis of intelligent robberies and stunt in stunning way whereas last robbery in Brazil turned out to be lack of brilliance and without any thrill however, tried to make lovespot over there. It seems director thinks...there is no exposure so to tried tooks us to Brazil and watch...some bikni shows with Bikers....instead of showing stunt.
Cool...anyway I visited Brazil..an amazing..Beach..he he he he ....let see when I would be there ..
Watching tailor on television seems, this Dhoom turns out to be bigger and bombastic . It is essentially cops and robbers story with some glamour and humour thrown in. In this tussle between cops and thieves, it is Love that wins in the end.
So in dilemma..whether end up with Stunt or Love ..movie wind up with Love story.After all, Aashiqon ka jamaana hai, zara Dhoom se niklega.
However, I comment that the first time I thought it was good, but the second time, I felt it could have been better and end up with only time pass. Yes....if you have to pass time in 190 bucks..go for the movie.

Cook-Book

Someone has said
"To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a home might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation."

Oh yes...I can...
Last week maid servent was on leave. So..I made up my mindset that have to have cook ..no way as the place where I stay ..have less option for veggy food and all in all I don't like eating daily outside.
So,I cooked myself. and good thing is that I tried to cook Roti ( Bread or Chapati) which is too difficult for me..Curry I cooked easily..that's not a big deal for me. Almost 7 days..I cooked myself and always Roti even cooking rice is pretty easier than that of Roti. After coming from office huh ....I have to cook but as done with cooking Yes..I can cook and why to go outside to eat as simple and plain food and certainly hygienic food would be the best if it would be cooked at home.
It took hardly 45 Mins ( Cooking & Cleaning ) . So, It's matter of prepare mindset like why I can not do. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.So guys...It's difficult to think cooking but pleasant thoughts while eating food cooked at home..Am I right?
But Guys..don't expect I will cook for you if you visit at my home..as I can cook but not as mouth-watering that you can lick your own fingers ......heheheh... :)

I decided to start writing this blog because...

Well, I created blog when was in Hyderabad and thought will keep writing but how come .....
I didn't have enough time however if I got any time which passed in gossiping as lot of friends were around . Those days time flew away as the pendulum swings.
But now in Kolkata time goes slow as noone around .
Now, I do manage to write here regularly, might be getting enough time nothing to do special on week ends so..better to write something..hope, it might be a nice way of keeping friends and family updated on what's going on in my life.Not that there's usually a whole lot going on in my life,but you know... theoretically, if anything did happen,I could write of it here. Exciting, right? I know.So just carry on reading people!This blog was born not long ago.So please do not expect much.More has yet to come...

Delighted to Light Up

It had been long time to celebarte Diwali at Home.Last 6 years Diwlai festival ,I celebarted in Hyderabad.Out of 6 years, 3 years Diwali celebration in the HCU campus and that was also very good moment where we used to do collection from all MCA students and then bought some candles,firecrakers and definitly some sweet and we used to decorate open dias and celebrate there with all HCU friends really unforgotable moment and then we also used to dance as we guys were fan and dancing hard always.Out of campus also we had great Diwali we used to decorate our rented house where I stayed with our HCU gang and then we used to go to campus to celeberate diwali with our lovely juniors.Last year diwali 2005 was quite boring for me as most of friend were not with me either they went to home or out of Hyderabad.
21st Oct 2006 Diwali delighted me and why not as celebarted at home I went to home on 20th Oct but sad part was that I were only with parents now life has got too busy that don't think will get time to celebarte Diwali along with all brothers and sister.
However for me it was happy Diwali as It has been long time to celebarte Diwali at home and was first diwali in Varanasi over 6 years but no firecrackers this time even have been at Home in Diwali was great. I was with parents while Laxhmi Pooja and really I delighted to light the candles .

The Source of our Problems!!!

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups.""Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change.""If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy, taste and appreciate the water in it."

Bangal-Ka-Jadu by PC sorcar Jr.

I heard lot about Bangal-Ka- Jadu (MAGIC) but never seen.
Yes, I saw lot of MAGIC which used to be at my home town
in circus or exhibition and also sometime in school days
and I used to be very happy while looking that.
Now, so many years have been passed and never thought again I will go to see Jadu as
lot of thinking changes now grown up and don't believe in Magic.
On Saturday, 07 October 2006,I went to watch Magic show by PC Sorcar Jr.
One of friend whose wife got the 3 tickets but we were 5. He asked me also to come along but I was thinking Magic...ohh. What to go for Magic. Finally I went and luckily we all five were also got entry.
Bangal-Ka-Jadu show was 2 hrs also there was 10 mins. Interval like movie show.
There were lot of items in the show and some items were amazing.
some items were also presented by Maneka Sorcar ( PC Sorcar Jr.’s dauther )
and that was also good but while watching the show I was thinking really it's great to
maintain the tradition of Magic and also the inherited art has borne most fruit, spanning the entire world, and giving fresh life to a once neglected art which coming generation will also get to know as now hardly we can find any school where Magic show would be for entertainment for children.

Don't know where life goes and how and when it turns...

Went from Varanasi to Hyderbad by Varanasi-Secundrabad Express on 11th July 2000 to pursue MCA course from University of Hyderabad ,while travelling my seat was not confirmed..quite and horrible journey.
Now I am in Kolkata. 2 hour journey from Hyderbad-Kolkata on 7th July 2006,was great and why not as flying in Kinghfisher airlines. As, I landed huh...it was raining and went to Capgemeini Guest House while going from Airport to Guest house I was just looking how is Kolkata huh..after being in Hyderbad about 6 years, was totally depressed which place I came and why not everybody would be as Hyderbad is well planned,clean and green city.

Now time goes like that and on 11th Aug 2006 was going to Home town.I was at Howrah Station and was on Platform no 9 to catch Kalaka mail I recalled everything as 6 years before in 2000 I came to Kolkata to wrote Jadavpur University entarnce test for MCA while going at that time I caught Kalaka mail at same platform.
At that time I never ever imagined that have to come again to Kolkata and for job.

Don't worry about the future

Kurt Vonnegut's commencement address at M

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:
Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis morereliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense thisadvice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You willnot understand the power and beauty of your but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen........

Masters of Body Language

When Negotiating, Look For Nonverbal Cues:

Your mother probably taught you that it's rude to stare. But when you negotiate a business deal, close observation of your opponent makes sense.By inspecting your opponent's every physical move, you can often determine whether he or she is holding something back or not telling the truth.The key is not to stare so much that you make your opponent uncomfortable, but to be aware of his or her movements through casual glances and friendly eye contact.It will almost certainly give you an edge. What should you look for? Experts who study body language suggest a two-step process. First, identify a subject's mannerisms during the initial, friendly stages of a discussion. As the negotiation unfolds, see whether your opponent suddenly adopts different behavior. "You have to watch people a long time to establish what their baseline mode is," said David Hayano, author of "Poker Faces." "Once you know how they normally behave, you may be able to tell when they start to put on an act." Hayano is a retired professor of anthropology at California State University at Northridge, who has analyzed the body language of poker players, and he's found that the rapport-building stage is a valuable time to study your opponent. Why? Because that's when you get to know someone's "natural" behavior. "If you are dealing with a very talkative executive who all of a sudden gets meek during the heat of the negotiation, then something strange is going on," he said. It may be a clue that your opponent is hiding something; other clues are exaggerated movements or excessive enthusiasm. Hayano says that in poker, for example, a player who throws chips forcefully on the table or suddenly behaves in a brash, aggressive way may be masking his being stuck with a weak hand of cards. The same goes for executives who loudly and repeatedly proclaim that they're making a major concession, when in fact they're not giving up much. "When you're negotiating with someone who starts overtalking and backslapping, this can mean they really have little to offer,".

The Seven Signals for Success
So far we have focused primarily on the pitfalls to avoid; but what messages should be sent, and how? Here are seven general suggestions on good body language for the interview.
1. Walk slowly,deliberately, and tall upon entering the room.
2. On greeting the interviewer, give (and, hopefully, receive) a friendly "eyebrow flash": that brief,slight raising of the brows that calls attention to the face, encourages eye contact, and (when accompanied by a natural smile) sends the strong positive signal that the interview has gotten off to a good start.
3. Use mirroring techniques. In other words, make an effort -- subtly! -- to reproduce the positive signals your interviewer sends. (Of course, you should never mirror negative body signals.) Say the interviewer leans forward to make a point; a few moments later, you lean forward slightly in order to hear better. Say the interviewer leans back and laughs; you "laugh beneath" the interviewer's laughter, taking care not to overwhelm your partner by using an inappropriate volume level. This technique may seem contrived at first, but you will learn that it is far from that, if only you experiment a little.
4. Maintain a naturally alert head position; keep your head up and your eyes front at all times.
5. Remember to avert your gaze from time to time so as to avoid the impression that you are staring; when you do so, look confidently and calmly to the right or left; never look down.
6. Do not hurry any movement. 7. Relax with every breath
