An apple story

A coffee a day with your team

Most deals in an organisation occur over a a "peg chat". The boss is usually drunk, and the employee or a new acquaintance takes the opportunity and utilizes the moment to the fullest and finalizes his promotion or an important deal. 

However, bonding can be over a cup of coffee. In a multinational organization, coffee breaks are frequent, and a must for most of the employees. 

Coffee is refreshing, it allows one to pause thoughts for a while and lets the person enjoy a hot fuming aromatic sensation. It gives a person a "break" and allows him to change to his personality i.e; a shift from an employee to self. Automatically, the change of a role brings, the person to a different level of comfort zone. Each person thinks differently in this comfort zone.

Meeting over a coffee can be beneficial. Teams should be encouraged in an organization to have a cup of coffee a day together and be able to exchange ideas, emotions and reflect on circumstances. The team in this comfort zone discards its hierarchical positions and all are colleagues. The level of perception and reaction quotient, differs from the quotient that existed under the shelter of hierarchy. 

Thus important discoveries, innovations and decisions can be made by a team over a cup of coffee a day.

The day when i finished my masters

It has been over a week now, and i am struggling with the so called " nothing to do" phenomenon.
I have finished my masters, and i have loads of things to keep myself busy. But why is it that i feel unconnected, why is that i feel i am on a lonely island. Why is it that i feel i am moving closer to my fear.
I don't have answers to these questions. Why did they arise in my mind ? Could be a number of reasons, finishing my masters gives me ample to look for a job, applying for jobs is the most treacherous thing on planet earth.
I am indeed longing for a break. And i feel my creativity is diminishing in some or the other way. Is it bothering. A hundred time "yes".
I am making foolish efforts to keep it alive.
I cant believe over the past few months i have tried umpteen amounts of new things on the web.
a) blogging
b) editing pictures
c) studying australian education pattern
d) t-shirts
e) now calenders !!

well i have come a long way.. but i am looking for a break.. a big one.. and its surprising though, with the death of my laptop, my photographs, my designs and my writings have all been arrested and locked up in my inaccessible hard drive and the fear of losing them, kills me.

This psychological battle has left me with zero ideas of blogging, and zero ideas of building websites and what not ..

I have also stopped playing farmville, and mafia wars..
which now leaves me with nothing to do..
And i am nothing but devils workshop at this moment.

When i saw you, I knew this darling, That love is very crazy O darling,

Guess the Hindi song which has been translated into English below:

When i saw you, I knew this darling,
That love is very crazy O darling,
When i saw you, I knew this darling,
When i saw you, I knew this darling,
That love is very crazy O darling,
Now where do i go from here
I will die in yours arms O dear.
When i saw you, I knew this darling,
That love is very crazy O darling,
Now where do i go from here
When i saw you, I knew this darling,
That love is very crazy O darling.

Let the eyes be mine, dream be yours
Let the heart be mine, thoughts be yours
Nothing is mine, everything is yours
Life is yours, every breath is yours
Your tears seem to roll out from my eyes
Sadness seem to smile
When i saw you, I knew this darling,
That love is very crazy O darling,
Now where do i go from here
I will die in yours arms O dear.
When i saw you, I knew this darling.

My heart doesn't seem to adjust anywhere
What shall i say, What shall i do ?
You just sit in front of me
I shall keep looking at you
You called for me, and see, i have come
Is there a bigger promise than love?
When i saw you, I knew this darling,
That love is very crazy O darling,
Now where do i go from here
I will die in yours arms O dear.
When i saw you, I knew this darling,

How well can you write a dumb poem!

Here comes one dumb poem!


A bird named dewy
dewy dewy,
came from a land called"Flying"
flewy flewy,
sat on a branch called "Brewy"
brewy brewy,
looked around
round and round,
yelled out to chewy
chewy chewy
chewy came from the land "Flying"
flewy flewy,
sat on the branch
brewy brewy,
looked around
round and round,
saw its love dewy
dewy dewy
and both lived "ever after"
happily happily.
