It’s hard to digest….
Today, we had a get together with our college mates..as usual we had relished on our engineering days and mocked on our present situation (ofcourse every one is an IT employee..& u know the situation), where we can’t even eke out a little time to enquire about my relatives and friends well being. Of late, our conversation revolved around current market ,as most of us had plans to shift to new companies but now we can't even think of it. And instead moving out, we discussed how awkward it had been to save our present one.
As it continues one of my friend turned to me and put up a question about my company. Question was about the plausibility of rumors that my company is driven by fraudulent management board as it is highlighted in news media. Before i could answer to his question, many of my friends shoot me with questions as if i was film star turned politician and they were the media persons.
Every question, that passed through my ear drum had raged anger in me coz they were not trying to know the information, it was something like they were accusing my company and its founder (who take out his sweat for 20 years to build a company of this brand) that they have trying to exploit many inverstors money. As far as my knowledge goes, the information gathered by my friends from media is not of worth, and it is misleading the complete situation.
So, this had resulted a negative impact on company's brand name, share marked and mostly on its corporate governance. And this situation was exaggerated by news media and they showed their every possible guess as realty to the outer world. Every one who doesn't go into the verification of the news published had blindly tried to shake off company's establishments.
Right now, SEBi is studying the case of corporate Governanace in our company and ethnic values that went into the take over deal that was proposed. And there was another instance of world bank, which add up to present wound and no one sure of what is actually going on between the 2 parties(world bank and My comp). Every thing was webbed by news media(stating CEo as a crook to potray him as a character less and avarice one), not ensuring about its credibitliy that the news possess.
How could i bare all these about my comapany, which had instilled confident in me by adopting and serving bread and butter of my daily life. But i defended and was in a diplomatic way.
Yes, I am in line that this could have been a mistake of making a wrong estimation of the assets of the companies and proceeded with out investors knowledge, but that wrong decision should not try to filth a person's character.
and that too with out knowledge of the truth. I believe that there should be a watch on the news channels content publision and their credibility. As it is the only source of a common man to assess what is good and what is wrong.Or else this will kill the reputation of any one in few days, who gained it through out his lifetime efforts.

Creativity is the only thing that flows unlimited in this world
Creativity is the only thing that flows unlimited in this world… this is a statement which I read on a wallpaper held by street hawker. There was an apt scene painted on it, a marvelous quote. Going through those words….I thought really it is great thing…that every one holds this gold mine in them but no one unearths and relishes on it. I still believe that there are certain ways (which may be learnt through MBA or by some other qualified educations) which moulds individuals to reinvent their new levels of creativity.
But today when I have been to office (I work for a reputed IT industry), seen an unlimited flow of creative idea of our GMT (Global Marketing team).This team plays a vital part in promoting our company as a brand of new transformation. For the past 2 months, they are quite enthusiastic in promoting one of the prestigious project we bagged from our competitors and our GMT left no pebble unfold, from our working environment to our desktop wallpapers every thing… made their platform to show it off.
Now, their creativity moved to our washrooms… today as usual went to washroom to drain out my stomach…while I was peeing…saw a sticker before me “we are here for a common GOAL” (GOAL was highlighted with bold letters), turned my head seen another one “Don’t just get Ideas think for winning IDEAS” the next moment I burst in to laughing and was laughing until I was loose my breath.
Really an awe creativity of our GMT…creativity to entertain employees…every one who goes to washroom with some or other pressure (no double meaning….i mean work pressure)….comes out with at least a chirpy smile on their face.
This complete episode, reminds me a hilarious washroom scene of a tollywood movie “Dikkulu chudakunda vacchi na pani chudara (Don’t waste time by seeing the walls of the …just finish your work and move off) ” really an awesome one..
We have started mocking every one who goes to washroom “look, he is going to washroom with a Goal and there he is coming out with a damn good winning idea sir ji..etc..all sorts of jokes are cracked.
Actually speaking there was nothing wrong with the statements, they are part of promotion campaign. But the location chosen by GMT had changed their entire meaning.
A small thing which I still not able to make out is, the whole herd of GMT (they are recruited from premier B-schools and are filling their wallets with a fascinating amount every month) to take this company through the stiff competing world, didn’t realize this.
Promoting the company achievement in washroom, doesn’t it degrade their mission. I will definitely shoot this question to at least one of those stupids…who feels proud of this.
I am really against this action of branding in bathrooms…but no one dares to fiddle with these B-school mites.
What I could do is, Oh my god “save my company from their unlimited creative and innovate ideas” amen.

How good you can help others being a Mr.India(the invisible)

Location is
I found myself their, leaning over a bed. I am clad in a ¾ short and holding a guitar in my hand close to my 6 pack body and Black Rayban glasses on my face.
Scenery is like a Hollywood superstar is enjoying the view of lovely sunset in
I am glad they are dancing to my tunes and they sighed me to join them. I kept guitar aside and shook my body like Ranbir kapoor (Bachna e haseeno) with them…….ohlala is this called heaven? May be or may not be but I am loving it.
Suddenly I felt a strong pain in my butts..ohhh it was hard like some one hit me from the back …dum…one more. I closed my eyes to bear the pain and opened ……….
I said loudly to my mate, common man it is Sunday let me take one more nap. And said to my self… want that lovely dream for some more time but vaguely I could here my mate asking me why am I doing Kung fu, karate on bed??.
Kung fu!! karate!! Grinning to myself, I was in Hawai beach dancing with lovely ladies. This moron broke my dream and telling me that I am doing Kung fu.
I said him about my dream and how he broke it, he busted into laughter and continued to smile for some more time. By that time I am completely woke up but still lying in my bed.
My instant answer was, I will kick you on you butt for breaking my dream. But this was in my mind, don’t want him to here it, coz he is much stronger than me and want no pain in my Butt. 2
I reposed him, “why the hell you are asking this stupid question early in the morning?”
He said, “Causally”, and insisted me to answer to his question.
So being mischief I said, snooping around girls hostels (we have lot many around us) and peeping through bed room doors. There was a chuckle from him. And Upgraded his question,” You should use those powers only for Good deeds and help others with out doing any harm to any one?”
Wow.. what kind of blessing is this? K “no problem, I just peep through the doors”, was my answer.
“Joke apart….be serious”, he said.
So I seriously pondered how will make use of my gift to help others. I have given many different points but my friend rejected…as they breach the condition given for blessing. They are like….
I will rob a bank and distribute that money to poor people…..he rejected saying robbing a bank will heart many others.
I will loot the black money from politicians and others and distribute that ……rejected with same reason as it will heart the owner.
I said I will black mail the politicians who are not loyal to their position of their wrong doing with proofs and I will compel them to do good to people …….again annulled as I may get caught and will harm others.
I was mooting many options in my mind but nothing was working. I said, “I am lost”.
Then he asked one more question,“Can you (being raj) help any one with our harming others?”
I looked for option there were many, I can educate any one for free, I can help my friend in difficulties with money or personally being with him….astonished as many of them will work.
Here my friend began giving Gyan to me…
He said, “in this world you can’t do good to a person wit out doing harm to others even with great powers. But being a human we can help the people around us in a little way.He said never step back from helping, how small it may be. who knows that may bring a big change in their life.”
I said,” Hmmm……This may be true, but why are you preaching me this.” And reply was “FYI(for your information)’. I thought, “FYI(Frig you instead)”.
This has happened to day morning; I don’t know how many may like this gyan and follow it. But I am trying.
Right now, can any one give me better idea, being a Mr. India how can we help others using those powers?
