Fun N Learning all clubbed together! :)

Hi guys I'm back! Today is the 29th of July and the thought of leaving IBM to get back to college life has made me feel very nostalgic.If only we could work here for longer!. I am sure every fanatic must have come across the situation I am in at present, the pleasant memories of work and play, fun and learning, jokes n fights, pool and mentors( hehe)! Why does it always happen that the moment you fall in love in with something, it gets snatched away from u! Strange a fact, but unfortunately true. None of us had imagined that these fun filled days would end up sooo early getting us back to the normal lives we led in college. I remember I’v hardly met my computer buddies ever in college and so would be true with the Comp-ites with us. Yes, we are all a part of different groups at college but this experience gelled us all together, unified us all so to say. And Im sure we’d definitely miss one another alot the moment we depart from here.

We have all learnt soo much from this first hand experience at an esteemed corporate co like IBM. One of the most renowned and remarkably distinguished software companies to have had us all be a part of it for about 3 months was like a dream come true for all of us! Today we were all given a unique opportunity to present before some of the most eminent personalities here at IBM- Mr Rajesh Patil, the head of ISL here at Pune, our mentors, their managers, the VP. What more would anyone want?! The presentations were all decently put forth by one and all and were appreciated by our superiors. The learnings we received were of a much greater value. We all understood that there is still room for improvement and that we still have a long way to go…. However the road to Rome “can” be attained if we continue to work diligently and this is all that matters..

I would end this post on a very optimistic note that We shall Win!…

I have something very interesting to mention here- it might seem very spiritual but yes, you can almost apply it anywhere and everywhere in your every-day life-…

“Our senses are like fire. Our life is like fire. Whatever u put into the fire of senses, burns. If u burn a tyre, it creates pollution.. and a foul smell. But if u burn sandalwood, it creates fragrance.. Some fires pollute, and others purify..

So what are u?? Are u the fire that produces smoke and pollution or the flame of camphor that creates light and fragrance??”

……………………………. Think abt it! .. Cyu soon..

Time to Win! :-)

One of the most prominent truths that govern my life:

'' The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has power to tell,
just when the hand will stop..
At late or early hour..

Now's the time you own. Live, love, toil with a will..
Place no faith in tomorrow-
For the clock may then be stil! "

It has been rightly said that Our minds are like muscles, stretch or shrink.. It all depends on how much or how little we exercise them!It's a fact that the more you engage your mind in some fruitful task, the better it responds, and the better it responds the more you flourish.So what exactly is a fruitful task?
It is nothing but "any" Creative work that keeps your mind occupied. The moment you lose control over your mind you are sure to have lost the divine spirit that defines U!
Optimism, mind-control, self praise, happy thoughts, a sweet smile, inspiring words and motivating actions- this should be U! I can very well say that this is nothing but the GIGO principle(Garbage in, Garbage out).
Positive in, positive out.
Happiness in, happiness out.
You are what you transform yourself into.

In your walk of life you are bound to meet people of varied personalities and interests. Some are very successful. This does not mean the rest are not.

"A king who is conquered is very likely to be scorned at..

Such is the heart of man!"

We humans have formed beliefs among ourselves that those who aren't successful are failures.Many of us consider ourselves to be failures in some or the other aspect of life. We are all born to lead successful lives, but our conditioning leads us to failure. "We are born to win.. But conditioned to lose". Every successful person does something right in each transaction while a failure is repeating the mistake over and over again.
I have something really interesting here to elaborate this fact of conditioning-
Think of the mighty elephant that can lift in excess of ton of weight with just its trunk. How does an elephant get conditioned to stay in one place, tied wit a weak rope and stake, when it could easily uproot the stake and move wherever it wants? The answer is that when the elephant was a baby , it had been tied by a strong chain to a strong tree. The baby is not used to being tied, so it keeps tugging at te chain, all but in vain! A day comes when it realises that this won't help get it freed. So it finally quits tugging and stands still. Now it is conditioned.

The day one realises one's own dreams and strives to go for them, he is definitely out of the ropes and stakes that have tied him up all along. So what are we waiting for? Our expectations create self-fulfilling prophecies. So make sure you know what you want.
Think of only the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best!

James Albery has quoted probably the most vital truth-
" He slept beneath the moon
He basked beneath the sun
He lived a life of going to do
And died with nothing done.. "

Isn't it time that we put off putting things off??!

We'r all free birds destined to WIN!
