It evenings like these... which makes life worthwhile!

A nice dinner with Archu (I so like to address him that way), discussing mundane things, bitching about work, sharing secrets, and soaking in my city... the whole week's pressure & stress is unwound! Life seems better this evening

Little excitements

I am travelling to a client site, and have logged on to the internet via a data card in the car - and I am totally kicked about it coz this is the first time I am doing so. And I am so excited that I wanted to put this up somewhere - but I thought it would be too juvenile to post on it on FB, so decided to blog abou it :)

Bow down to the Master Blaster

Its crazy how one game (especially one guy) binds this nation. Dhoni was being abused while he hit sixes and fours because he wasn’t given Sachin the strike to break his world record!

And the Master Blaster proved why he is the Master Blaster... A double century in ODI

In our culture, we are always afraid of making a mistake

A mistake is always looked down upon. What defines a mistake is a totally different debate, but it could be a small thing like sending an email to the wrong person. And since making a mistake it a crime, everyone tries either not to accept the mistake or find ways of hiding it. And if a mistake comes to light, then the immediate reaction is to get defensive!

A few experiences in the past month but 2 noteworthy one’s in office: One in which – to not accept the mistake the person went on such a defensive note, that she used lines like, “Are you a CA? What kind of a CA are you, if you don’t know this… “ And this response was to a clarificatory email. The context of this a long one, and I am too bored to type it all out. In the other instance, like I mentioned earlier, since the email was not marked to me but to someone else – that email was never sent to me, but the person followed up with frantic calls – just to avoid resending the email…
