For You-Part III

O dear Lord! Give me faith and please give me strength. I felt deep loss of faith yesterday and hence I am turning to You once again today.
I wonder the quirks of human heart and mind...and the ability to rationalize things within is the biggest strength and the biggest weakness of the human mind...

questions unanswered

A question about which we all think and that also quite often..."What is life?" and also "What is fair?"

I am unable to answer this question to myself.

The power of expression and calculation...

The power of expression is one of the biggest skill one can acquire in this lifetime. I guess we all value it in our professional lives. I have seen people reap exponential rewards through this one skill even if they are lacking in many other aspects. So let us see what all constitutes the power of expression:

• To know the degree of emotions to be reflected when responding either to a collegue, subordinate or boss and the ability to chose the right set of words
• To know how to smoothly take your boss into the loop of your work, so it sounds like, "hi ABC, how're you doing..hmm.. I was working on this XYZ can you take a look at it for a few minutes just needed your input for something". Result: Work smoothly projected upwards.
• The art of giving feedback: Now you need to give fedback to your boss- depending on how good the relationship yoyu have the following choices : swallow the feedback and keep cribbing and up the morale quotient of the organization:P, give it to your boss's boss with whom you would have already built a relationship through "work projection" or otherwise use sophisticated language for saying the same crap in a manner that he/she cannot touch you.

Now when we talk about the power of expression it is usually useless without being combined with the power of calculation:

• On a project one of the critical skills is to be able to calculate who is the most important person, is there long term mileage which can be derived from the project and yes this with a healthy dose of "luck" can do wonders for you.
• Ability to calculate what are the meatiest pieces of work and keep the control of the same to yourself so that whenever it is talked about u r required especially the role of the presentation "integrator is key ;-)

As they say life is a journey all about learnings....:P

For You: Part II

I just did not get time to over the past few days. Things are better thanks a ton for this...We are definitely moving in the right direction....Whatever my other worries are today I rest them at Your feet with the faith that You will take care of us and guide us in the right direction.
I want to share with You a simple dream and a vision for our life and I know there will be this day of deja vu when this dream will come true...for as You say patience will always pay.
A simple evening over a cup of tea, family gathered around a a dining table (which includes my 2 future children), laughter and jokes, stories to share and peace within...Amen

For You: Part I

This is my second attempt to talk to You over this Blog. Everytime I try I lose patience and flow since there are so many things inside me which i must tell You. So I am going to try something, I am going to share one or two things with you every day. As a friend said this to me one day the if there is something piled up then you can't remove it at one go you need to dislodge it one by one.
I am losing a little bit of faith in myself and in my life. You know I have been a fighter always and sheerly because You made me like this. Mom and dad have started noticing it they keep asking me that I don't sound happy. Today I dont feel the point of fighting, I realize that fighting makes sense only if there is something better you can achieve after that fight and if you can't then what is the fight for. That "better" also has to come at only a certain price beyond which the marginal utility is negative I guess.
I do understand that You will make everything fine one day. "When" is the question... I have only one request as always, "Please give me patience, belief in yourself, myself and those around me and along with that large doses of deep faith in You to tide over this. Please also give me the strenght to accept whatever You send my way with equanimity and love"
I love You a lot....
