Kolkata Bloggers’ Meet ‘09 Tuesday, Jul 28 2009

The day began with a silent note. There were very few buses on the road; unlike other days the traffic was low and I reached office early in the morning. As I had begun with my days work Anirudh just pinged me. He’s been a long time friend of mine… we worked together in my previous office. And guess what…I was invited to join the blogger’s meet to be held in Salt Lake.

The idea was impressive…though I won’t be able to attend the meet-up due to some personal reasons, I guess it in itself is a great initiative which would provide the Kolkatan bloggers to talk about their individual experiences.

The online marketing industry made its way in India a few years back and being a part of this industry it does make me proud that my friends have taken the initiative to get together in a summit ,express their opinions and share experiences in the path of their blogging journey.
I just wish them best of luck! Get together, grow and move forward.. full speed ahead!

Election 2009 Wednesday, May 13 2009

election_in_india

Hey.. all cheerful people out there.. today I’ve a reason t be happy. My blog has gained a Google Pr of 1 !!!!!!!! GOD!!… even miracles do happen!!
PR of 1 with only nine posts!…Well I guess only Google can tell why they decided to honor me like this
Lets not dig into details of SEO.. and accept this present graciously
Well apart from that I’ve another reason to smile. I just got off from my office for the election here in India. This time I’ve decided not to forgo my vote; I would go to the nearby polling booth and cast it to someone. Frankly I don’t have much idea about political parties. I guess we don’t really have any politician today who is HONEST. And I don’t judge a politician on how much honest he is. He should be just honest enough so as not to squander the treasury box of India. Even that is a big deal!! From my viewpoint, I don’t really mind if a political leader does some snow job that would help him maintain his position. I don’t mind is he resorts to some politically incorrect means to achieve an objective. I don’t mind if he is a little snobbish and gives a cold shoulder to subordinates.

I believe an cunning fox makes a better leader than an honest fool. I look for someone who is diplomatic  and can run a country iron-handedly. And obviously my choice differs a lot from several others. You must be wondering about who it is whom I’m gonna give a thumbs up Lets not dig into details.. Keeping my fingers crossed…

Love Actually! Friday, Apr 10 2009

Sometimes I’m really curious to know what the purpose of a blog is. Is it about rambling ALL your personal thoughts? or is that more of a tool where you want to project yourself the way you want others to receive your personality? What I mean is that basically we blog about only those incidents which we particularity to share with the world; while there may be several other which are better kept safe within our own hearts.

Anyways, I’m not really sure if I would blog about my ALL of personal thoughts. Perhaps there are some things which I won’t feel like discussing here…after all the blog is a reflection of me; not me entirely

Today I want to talk about love. Yeah, its too personal; but to some extent it is generalized too. When it comes to my love, it is personal; but when we talk about love as an emotion touching every heart, there cannot be anything more generalized than that. Let us talk about that generalized aspect of love.

It is something we hear of in childhood; mostly in movies and Agony aunt columns of weekly magazines. Then just as we step into teens we start drooling over some dashing hunk starring in Television soaps and very soon the reel life guy is replaced by some real life cute and amicable guy who starts residing onto your dreams. Am I talking too much of looks? Well, I guess it applies to most of us. Until a point of time, you lack the ability to judge someone beyond his physical traits. And the way that person admires your beauty also counts. You loved it when the guy you secretly admire sweeps you off the feet with the killer looks of his eyes As you remember it often, you find yourself blushing with smile. And slowly you start feeling that he loves your  beauty and also YOU.

Well, the same saga rules even in later years. You cannot help feeling beautiful when the guy of your dreams showers you with compliments. But slowly you start differentiating between love that is full of admiration to the love full of care. When someone admires you in love, he admires you beauty, may be some bit of your personality, your thoughts and long for your company…but a number of love stories comes to an end on that point. It doesn’t culminate to that level of glory when one forgoes his own happiness for love.

And when it reaches that point, you start to wonder if you have had ever been in love before. It is a kind of love which can not be put into words. You are again swept off your feet; but this time by the love and care of the person. And you find yourself caring about him too.  Sometimes, it might just be friendship and not on be “LOVE” on the other end; but it doesn’t really matter. You love the person unconditionally. You start caring about that person. It does not matter where the relationship takes turn later; but the love that has touched you once bears its fragrance for a lifetime.

Office Etiquettes Tuesday, Jan 13 2009

Hey guys, I’m back! All the while I had been busy with some other aspects of life:) As you know it, my life is a huge scrapbook and sometime it keeps me occupied like anything. Even when I’m not doing anything, I just think. And fragments of endless thoughts engulf me. All this time, I’ve thought a lot; and now I really need a B-R-E-A-K!

Today, unlike my other posts, I wouldn’t come up with an issue and pen down my thoughts ’bout that. Lets talk ’bout something down to earth, something more commonplace… Well, I had been investigating ’bout something interesting. In the realm of professionalism, the employees have to abide by something called ETIQUETTES. These ETIQUETTES are NOT a part of your contract with the company. There are not mentioned anywhere in your appointment letter. But it is something you should be knowing while you are on job. Here’s a snapshot of some of them.

Rules to be followed by employees

• Diplomacy(being replaced by hypocrisies) is the rule of thumb. Anyone not learning it fast is free to leave

• You should report in time as specified in contract but the departure time could be extended.

• Giving interview in some other company is a heinous crime despite the fact you are born in democratic country. When you are working for us, you are a citizen of our company, the rule of the country no more applies.

• The company has hired you when there were projects and needed resources. Now when the projects are less, its your responsibility to snatch one, else you are just out!

• Lunch breaks are compulsory obligations, try keeping it as minimum possible

• Meetings are actually meant for relaxation; waste as much time possible. Discuss as many issues you want to even if there’s none.

• Orkut! What on the earth is it? Well it is fun when run on proxy

• Finally, the one that bugs me the most! Ladies in general have to work more than their male colleagues. Men can relax as they have a fag. You cant!
