But eventually it is a game of cricket. - Sachin Tendulkar Itz easy for him to say and ago ahead to throw a sunfeast biscuit at u in ur television. But what about the real billions who are in blue now ? We all love cricket, won’t we. When the intensity fades in us, then there is media which rekindles the josh in you. We remember the few match dates like we remember our loved ones

How many Ads are u thrown at every day? I can't say a figure, but a minimum of 50 will be my guess. Say, In home - Newspaper, magazine, TV - On Road - the bill boards on either side of the road, RJ's of radio-city and In office - every website I visit have a pop-up and to top it all Google ads are there everywhere. This doesn’t include the covert advertising in the movies and the serials

Linux release is solely on me and considerable work on windows domain too along with a junk COO work, I clearly lost my work –life balance.

Past couple of days, all I am doing is maintaining spreadsheets. In my office, the Linux work which I was doing went to QE and they found enough bugs. It’s a buggy life after all! My manger, before going on his vacation, told me to coordinate the fixes and delivering the fixed build to QE. From then on, I am coordinating with excel, :) with lot of color schemes, remarks, corrections, blah blah

Suddenly the world looked dull today.All the people around me looked dull, hazy, as if they are unsure about something.The vehicles in the road were going in a chaotic manner and the drivers are surprised with the sudden appearance of the vehicle. In office, the manager looked strangely as if someone didn’t reciprocate a smile when he expected. The monitor looks dull, the program crashes dumbly.

Be strong enough to face the world each day. Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything. Be generous to those who need your help. Be frugal with what you need yourself. Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything. Be foolish enough to believe in miracles. Be willing to share your joys. Be willing to share the sorrows of others. Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.

A well known speaker started off a seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, who would like this $20 bill? Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "who still wants it! ?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"

This post is inspired by a statement from a movie. Lemme get directly to what i intend to put. There is a very thin line of diffenerence between Confidence and Arrogance. A person who is confident will say "I Can Do it" while an arrogant one will say "ONLY I CAN DO IT" . We need to be very carefull in not crossing this line ... unless one really wants to.
