My unpredictable Mind

I am 24years old now and I am independent, mature and all bla bla bla stuff. But one thing I really could not understand is how the bloody hell my mind works. This moment I will be very positive and the next moment I will be surrounded by negative energy. This moment I love all my friends and next moment I start finding negative aspects in all, this moment I love my job next moment I hate this job, this moment I love being in IT industry next moment I hate to work in software field itself, this moment I love my personal life next moment I curse everybody for the situation I am in, this moment I love writing blog next moment I hate to write anything, this moment I love coffee next moment I hate it, this moment I love ATG next moment I hate it. Also one peculiar thing about my mind is at some point of time I can read others mind to certain extent but some other time I will be totally confused about their actions. The day I got selected to Infosys (April 3rd 2007) I started hating this company for all small reasons. Everybody loves something or hate something and I believe for everything there will be some reason which when interpreted properly can change our belief.  But the belief I have regarding Infosys is not changing at all in spite of so many arguments I had with others.  Some 4-5 days back I had this hot argument with Srinidhi and Vinay in some restaurant. The discussion started with some impact analysis stuff and I commented like service companies are cheating clients. I had some points to support my statements so I did not back out from the argument which was ignited from that statement. Srinidhi did not agree with me and asked me how I can say it is cheating for that I told the impact analysis we are doing is just to bill the client more and the time spent on preparing that impact analysis can be used for making those changes and build it. Srinidhi replied “so u mean to say clients are so dumb that they do not have common sense”. I started opening issue regarding “Target” project. It seems it got stopped in the middle way since Infosys were billing the client heavily since there was no exclusive IT department with the client to verify what was happening and they finally stopped the project completely. This is one of the versions of the story. Another version tells the Infosys completed the project properly and “Target” did not give the maintenance project to Infosys as expected.  I told the version1 of the story and Srinidhi told the second version and since the truth is unknown to both of us we did not continue on that topic. Later I told extending the deadlines is just to make more money for that Srinidhi replied back saying if there was no requirement change then we would not have extended the dead line. And these changes were mandatory to be made and we came to know only after preparing HLD and DLD stuff.  The discussion went on for quit sometime and later we found out the bottom line and that was “in business cheating cannot be defined”. That meant what is cheating to me is not cheating to other. And if client knows the fact and is ready to pay more, that is not cheating. Also before client pays even a pie it validates the requirement and pays.

House party with the team

It all started over a cup of coffee. Me and Shree were having coffee and I mentioned about hosting a house party in my place. I just mentioned about my thought and as always Shree got pumped up with all her energy and pushed me to send the invite immediately. I always think and think and think, but always delay in executing. I had this thought from almost an year but never took that initial step of inviting. It was Friday evening when I sent that invite for Wednesday. I had already decided I would be working from home on Thursday and from friday anyways I would be on vacation. So that would be an ideal get together before my vacation.  I could not do any arrangements over weekend as I was totally busy with other things. On monday people started accepting my invite and I started to realize the open tasks. There were mainly 3 things in my list; logistics, food and drinks. Logistics was the main thing. Monday a...

Love/Arranged Marriages

Few days back I was discussing about marriages in India and the discussion was mainly on whether to get married to a person whom we find ourselves or to a person whom our parents find. In both the cases we have to compromise on many things and in both the case after compromise also we are not assured that the partner is right for us. In arranged marriage, we will marry a person whom our parents decide. Our parents chooses a person on various criteria like his/her family, his/her current job, his/her current salary, his/her economic condition, his/her horoscope and all non-sense stuff which really doesn’t matter. These things do matter but according to me the only thing a person should look in his partner are his/her thinking patterns. Parents give much more importance to the family, and in this case i am totally against to their thinking. I have seen so many cases where the sons/daughter thinks quite opposite to what their parents think. For instance there is a friend of mine...

Crazy Movie-Marathon

If someone asks, ‘what is the one thing you have done which you will probably never do?’ I would say this. Yesterday (2/24/2018) I watched 4 movies back to back in theatre. If I think I would be shocked myself. Fuck me what the hell was that, 4 movies I mean seriously??? Yes, I watched it and to add more I watched all 4 movies sitting in 2 nd row from the screen in the same hall, same place. Now Oscar fever is going on everywhere and AMC theatres are playing Oscar nominated movies back to back on 2 consecutive Saturdays. First Saturday 4 movies would be played, and second Saturday 5 remaining movies would be played. We just have to buy a day pass and watch all the movies played on that day. Yesterday they played ‘Phantom Thread’ at 10:30 AM, ‘Lady Bird’ 1:00 PM, ‘Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri’ at 3:00 PM and ‘The shape of water’ at 6:00 PM. AMC must have spent some time choosing the order of the movies I would say. First movie’s genre was Drama/Romance, second was...
