An Extra Degree

How much of energy do we put in getting things done in our life?
Do we keep trying for that Extra Degree that would differentiate us from the rest?
This extra degree sets apart the good from the best!!

How to create luck?

1) Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right
2) Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine
3) Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well
4) Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting ortelephone call. Luck is very often a self- fulfilling prophecy

Bemused

Been almost three months in my current work...
How much have I learnt? …. Nothing commendable!!

How I feel about myself? ... Deplorable.

Had changed the entire line of work from my past project looking for a lustrous profile in this new work...

The grass is never green on the other side...

I have tried a lot to accept this situation; just that I feel I am not utilizing my full potential to prove myself or am I not given the opportunity…Guess not!!

10 days into the new project

Yeah have been in this project for 10 days now... and nothing has happen untill now.......... well they did give me this small work(which can be completed in few days) and thats all...

I have been coming to office checking mails, talking with friends, learning couple of new stuff on daily doses(new language-computer language) and leaving home.

Today as part of our vertical celebration , TUG-of-WAR, was conducted in our office, did not expect so many people to turn up for the event.( We generally have events conducted with less than 3 teams participating) and today we almost had 14 teams (10 member team). Unusual turn up for a vertical in Chennai . Every one participating with so much of energy ... feels good.

Some time when thinking about how busy other people are ,i really feel depressed.
At home i make myself busy, i do clean my room, and have watched couple of movies over this ten days. I saw X-men III , spiderman II, super man returns.... and all this during the week days.

The previous week end i had gone home too, and had gone to this temple in kerala. Mangattu Bagavathy amman Kovil. Its almost 2 hours journey from my native place. They do some special pooja for "Dhristi" ( people who know tamil will understand).

And one of my best friend has given birth to a twin- girl and a boy...I havent seen her or them.. the next visit to my parents place , will definitely see.. waiting for it.

Change of project

Finally , i got the change of project i had been wanting. Not that i did not like the previous project , but when i think on a long term , i prefer to stay with this.
I had liked my ex-collegues a lot, and especially my cubicle. It has been always fun, Work while you work and play while you play.

It been a week since i have moved out the earlier project with lot of trouble for every one of my seniors . I am glad they approved my movement. Now i am sitting in this new project for a week now with absolutely no one to talk to (since i have no idea who my team mates are and also there are around 200 ppl sittin in this Bay) and also no work.

I realise the pain of sitting without no work to do .
" an idle mind is a devil's workshop" has been apt for me for this past month. I might run in depression i guess.. oh jus kidding .

Change of template!!

Yeah i have changed the template yet again. I found the black template which i had been using, been used by almost everyone .. and the color seems to be getting me depressed.
so let it be Vibrant
