Thinking....

I don't know why i am up so late but i don't feel like sleeping , although when you have your life at stake you don't feel like sleeping at least not me.So should i be writing a blog, do i have that much of free time to devote to a blog.Again my answer would be i don't know why i am up so late and why i wish to blog.

This is supposedly my hobby and i enjoy it and for the sake of enjoying my hobby, i am blogging.But why should i bore people with this stuff.I have had an intriguing session of intellectual talk over professionalism in IT with one of my seniors and his points were justified,as a matter of fact that is what I shared with people undergoing such crisis as lack of professionalism etc., and they agreed to me when i lectured them. In the mean time i was wondering whether I was sounding that philosophical or more of an enthusiast who himself is trapped into a mud hole and has no where to go,yet he is trying desperately to stay cool and get out of these shabby waters either by pulling some strings or by swimming. And believe me for a situation like this you need a divine intervention.
So what would i be doing? I am out of job at the moment , my company has done its largest acquisition till date and has become a top IT company in the country which may further mean that we stay on hold for a longer time or we may be rushed into the sick units of the acquired company as we are trained by the mother company (that sounds a bit childish and I wrote it for I felt like mentioning).
But this not ends the list of thoughts juggling in my mind for there space as if they have soared as the population of the country and there is no stopping it. Weird now i couldn't think of anything else just why am i writing this blog when i have so much pending work, yes don't be astonished. If I am out of job it don't mean I am not working and that is what is keeping me afloat in the present recession crisis,which seemingly are dying out either to fade away in people's memory, like mine, or to strike back like a storm and cause greater devastation.

(P.S.: Don't think over issues which are long dead and buried. Start Afresh.)

Statement Of Purpose for Nirma University

Why would you like to do Master of Business Administration?

Bo Bennett said, “Every minute you spend in your life is either spent bringing you closer to your goals or moving you away from your goals”. After doing my B.Tech and gaining some corporate experience at Tech Mahindra I want to hone my skills, so I can move closer to my goal of attaining professional expertise and learn various aspects of behavioral epistemology and to apply them for the betterment of myself and my environment.

My pragmatic nature and ethical value system have always been my strength and have lead me in carrying out the Technical festival “Zealicon 2008” for the first time in our college. I as the Event Manager did not have the backup in terms of experience of my seniors or documentation, so I had to start afresh. Eventually I was able to deliver a successful show and I realized that “One person’s life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people”.

Another catalyst to my ever analyzing thought process being this recession, which has taken a toll over economy and eventually human life. Since it is affecting so many lives there is a need for effective solution and I believe with my understanding and after attaining proper tools from a structured course like MBA I would definitely be able to contribute towards solving many such unforeseen problems.

I am confident that my strengths, potentials and my strategic and analytical abilities would help me become an efficient professional. NIRMA (Institute of Management), one of the pioneer institutes with its esteemed faculty and exponential growth over the past decade, will provide the right pedestal for gaining a Post Graduation in Management. It would help me interact with and learn from people of varied backgrounds.

Part 1 : Do shades of gray really exist??

Good and Evil, right and wrong or white and black all are the synonyms of the hypothetical battle battle rising within me and this battle is just between my head and and my heart,its within me and its mine.
Lets have an example, by social acceptance and social value system, telling a lie is an evil deed and my heart completely agrees to it but by another convention telling a lie selflessly in order to help someone is a virtuous deed, logic supports it.But what I have been wondering for a while is that how could a singular thing be good and bad at the same time , it seems to be like the bitter medicine which is bad in taste but has high medicinal value. Although it looks like I possess the answer to the question, that "Do shades of gray really exists?" but do I?.
What does gray signify ?? It portrays the middle path between right and wrong, black and white which could be walked in order not to contradict your own beliefs and neither let your conscience know that you have ever walked a shabby lane without guilt.I don't know and am in no authority to justify whether such shades of gray should exist or not. But as a person who keeps a perpetual understanding of the events happening in his environment, I would like to add an angle to the present course of discussion, we say Ravan was evil and Ram was good.
Ravan took away Sita and did a very evil deed but was Ram justified when he sent Sita away to the jungle because people were saying things about her.Was it justified on the part of the most just person, who has ever walked the face of the earth, to have sent his wife away?. He was the symbol of goodness , of truth and justice but his logic was blinded and he had to adorn the shades of gray , to denounce his wife of her rights, for the sake of society.What we should not forget here is that Sita had passed the test of fire to prove her purity then how could Ram go about in taking a descision which had no valid backing.
Why do we have to adorn the shades of gray ?? A lot of such questions are triggering in my mind and i am not able to justify.What is wrong or what is right? How many perspectives do one has to satisfy in order to be stereotyped in an image , i am saying that being good or evil is virtuous but is it worth being stereotyped??
So, do the absolutes never exist ?? Yes they do and these are people who never compromise with there situations , they make their own situations .... wondering how?? , is one question which i leave to you and shall be discussing it in my next post , till then gray it is!!

Time: The only answer to financial nemesis

Time is the only dimension which has been out of reach of various renowned physicists , although they were able to shed light on its nature but truly captivating the complete potential of this dimension , has been out of their bounds.
Time has been considered divine in the scintific world and forms the reference of lot many analysises.It is considered the real healer ,havn't you heard that time heals everything grudges,pain,sorrows & stress.You rest when you are unwell and over time you are healthy as before.If you are confused as to what i am leading to so to tell you frankly i am too i am just trying to pen down what ever is fumbling in the cortex of my head and analyze it either to be relieved or find an answer to what could happen over time.
The media is filled with gossip of "Satyam",the IT major which was the 4th largest Indian IT firm and the few of whom were listed at the Nasdaq,but time changed and the man who dreamt it grew greedy and plundered and raped his own creation.I have seen a lot about this issue on media and i am amazed that every one is trying to give birth to a new hypothesis about the issue although which is not at all required and is complicating the scenario about the BRAND INDIA in
the international circuit.Although i completely agree that if there will be a fire the smoke will rise and the people will definitely talk about it , thats free will but then the constitution says that you have the right to speech if it does not infringes on the rights of others.
The investors have lost a whopping 1500 crores at the stock market , the retail and small investors are pleading over their lost fortune , a few have even committed suicide then how could the bull run which lasted a year considered beautiful.For i suppose any good thing happening in the world always has a cost which the people have to pay over time.Yes time , indeed is the measure of all the resolute behavior canvased by the individuals onto their environment, because its time over which we reap what we sow.
I am still confused , the question is how much time would it take to get to normal??,i have no answer and neither could anyone give an absolute answer .Every one knows that it will get better but when ,they don't know possibly 2years or 5years is their assumption but the hasitate to comment over time.The only thing that could keep us going shall be a hope , a dream that that when we wake up tomorrow morning every thing shall be normal , people who have lost their jobs shall have a new beginning at a career they dream't of all their lives, the investors shall gain at the stock market and the world would again be a normal place to live in.
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on in time.Time and memory are true artists; they re-mold reality nearer to the heart's desire.

Humane Touch of Thoughts

I always wondered why people said "think from your heart and act from your head."I always thought with my head and acted with my heart , did i jumbled up the meaning of the above two sentences , indeed i did and this is what i wish to understand.But how am i to understand it by barely writing a few lines ???
Let me clear a few fundamentals which i adhere to while penning this post first of all i have learn't when things or to be precise thoughts are not clear then write them down words give meaning to your thoughts , an existence which is real rather than a metaphysical entity, projecting from a mind which tends to penetrate its significance not by chance but by instincts and most of the time the mind blocks those instincts , making the metaphysical existence completely non existent.
I always thought i had a more dramatic insight into things because i always approached their existential behavior understood them with the perception of mind and saw the real meaning of their existence. And that was what made me understand them , enabled me to extend their abilities to the limits they themselves never understood.So in all this, where does the role of heart come into picture? That was my perpetual behavior till date at understanding things and behaviors and to putting into play scenarios which would eventually help others.
But now as i am writing this post, the thoughts which should have evolved from my head are
originating from my heart(heart is a symbolic representation of head + emotions), i always thought i cannot empathize with an individual in misery, i was of the understanding that he is
himself responsible for it and should try to come out of it with his own abilities and if he couldn't he is at the right spot. I still believe it but my understanding is hexed by a notion that if that person seeks help from others to come out of his misery then he should be helped.
This is the emotional side of the understanding which i was carrying over the 1/4th period of my life but never understood because i never gave it a chance over my head and it eventually went deep inside me only to resurface now , reasons of which i have partially understood and shall learn as i grow intellectually.I call it the Humane Touch of Thoughts where your mind and heart work in conjunction to make this world a better place firstly for you and then for the individuals directly or indirectly placed in your environment.

Here i wish to add that my head is telling me i am doing an incorrect thing by exposing the intricate details of my understandings but my instincts tell me that you already have been closed so open up.Open up your heart and mind and let the world know the true you, after all you are a human. So what ever you do do it with your head and heart, isn't it that what makes us who we are.

Magical hands ! Mystic colours !!

Strange topic!!! That is what one thinks when something unusual or eccentric comes across but philosophers are of the view that the most intricate of all understandings could evolve from the life surrounding us and the penetration of the ideas projected by it. So this is one topic which tries to understand how life goes and how it is influenced by the environment we live in.

Are you wondering what does this topic mean? What are Magical hands? Ok let me put it forth Magical hands pertains to the divine intervention and the Mystic colours are the various shades of our life, the canvas we paint with our emotions and the influence and perception of people surrounding us. What do we do when some result is going to be out, I am not talking only of exam results but of results at every level of our life, this may be an individual perception but I suppose at the back of his head that individual prays or rather hopes he is successful. Here I am also talking about people who are confident to succeed yet there is a mark of fear and that makes him hope he succeeds. This hope calls for a divine intervention. It has been a universally known fact that the success of an individual is determined by the mathematical formula of 99% hard work and 1% luck, shear luck. A lot of us might have also experienced that in a way or so , we hope we are lucky and we don't fail to achieve what we wish to.

So we wish things should be right.

Another contradictory aspect can be, the magical hands pertains to the hard working hands of the people who don't believe in destiny or rather believe in making one. These people are the Fountainheads of the society the Atlases who are holding this world on their shoulders and burdening themselves with the mystic colours of life across this globe. They are rightly the people who, define the destiny of their peer men and are the source of Magical hands.

Those were a few interpretations of the Magical Hands they may not be true in everyone's perception but may cater to the thinking of a lot of people.

The mystic colours mesmerizing our thoughts drive the understanding of our life and surroundings. What do you feel when you see a painting you may not be an art veteran or someone who has studied art but you definitely feel something even a thought like "what does this painting mean?" is enough to say that colours inspire us, insight our visual perception then what shall be the effect of something like life which has shades beyond the imagination of an individual. Phenomenal is one exclamation that comes to my mind when I see that an entire lifetime or even two shall be small enough to go through and understand and experience the different shades and colours of life. The existential philosophy over the decades or to say over the centuries has been trying to define a singular aspect of life and yet that seems so less so miniature in front of life itself. A whole book may seem small, if i try to explain my experiences and various shades of life the mystical, mesmerizing colours which are only reflective of my environment and my surroundings. So I shall be penning it down in the exact format, in a hope to expect your feed back, along with your experiences.

Yes in deed the magical hands may seem to be the hands of a potter who shapes the pot and then fills mesmerizing colours into it, a symbolism of us in our environment being crafted by divine intervention.
