Walk A Mile In His Shoes

Sometimes good, Sometimes bad,
Sometimes happy, Sometimes sad,
Everybody sometimes falls; He needs someone,
Sometimes weak, Sometimes strong,
Sometime right, Sometimes wrong,
Everybody sometimes falls; He needs someone.

Walk a mile, walk a mile, in his shoes,
Don’t look down, criticize or accuse,
Take the time to see the things he’s going through,
See just how it feels to walk a mile in his shoes.

Words can bless, words can curse,
Make things better, make things worse,
Everytime you throw some dirt, you lose someone,
Words can heal, words can save,
Take a weak one, make him brave,
Everytime you gain a friend, you gain someone.

No, I didn’t write this. I was cleaning (again) and was going through few old papers. Someone wrote and gave me this. I don’t remember (I am ashamed).

Guess I need this at this phase of my life (Do I have one now?).

Some jokes to laugh….

Prince Charles & Sardarji were having dinner.
Prince said, “Pass the wine you divine”.
Sardar thinks “how poetic”
Sardar says, “pass the custard you bastard”.

Sardar at bar in New York .
Man on his right says “Johny Walker single”
Man on his left says “Peter Scotch single”
Sardar says – “Baljith Singh Married”

Boss : Am giving u job as a driver. STARTING salary Rs.2000/-, is it o.k
Sardar : U R great sir! Starting salary is o.k…….but? ? how much is DRIVING salary…?

Could it be this?

I’ve been thinking for a while, why so often I get moody and depressed.

I realized that, I didn’t get what I value as single important thing in life. I still value and I still don’t have. I’ve tried to bridge that gap many-a-times and mostly failed. I say mostly, because there was a brief moment in which I did get it.

This gap and the chase drains emotional fortitude and the rest is ….well you know.

Either the gap is bridged or I stop the chase. I think I better stop the chase.

bad day; okay end

I had two escalations today which kept me on toes through out the day. We might miss out on a published schedule. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue; but one of the module is for CFO and he is tracking the progress. This has put me under a good amount of pressure through-out the day.

However later in the evening (19h00-19h30), we had a demo to CEO. This particular project has been in chaos for years and now with new IS head this has gotten a new perspective. The new head wants me to be part of the project and I was in-charge of creating the prototypes. We were little skeptical of the demo; but it went better than we anticipated.

Not so bad end.

Tomorrow I got a status review of the stuff that I talked about CFO module. hmmm…getting ready to be beaten up 🙁

to be a photographer

you guys know that i like photography. rite?

i have been wanting to publish a photoblog so that i can learn/improve photography. i was searching a suitable solution for quite a long time (in fact i remember discussing with LA when i was in canada).

since i didnt want to pay for heavy bandwidth to serve images, i was searching and searching and searching. finally i got a flickr plugin for wordpress – images stored in flickr can be published using wordpress.

you can see the photoblog at cephire. it is still work in progress. so be patient.

be critical and comment how i can improve.

To be a writer

I always wanted to be writer. As a young boy, I remember registering for a journalism course, when I was so young, by saving the little 10 and 20 paise that I got. I don’t remember the reason, but it got rejected.

Anyways, life changed. I started to blog and then opened a website so as to express myself. But I wasn’t disciplined to contribute regularly.

It is never late to realize one’s dream. Right? I have decided to write at least one article every week. I started with a technical article, with my experience on shifting from one laptop to another. It is unbelievable that I took the whole day today to write it. I had to control my mind from wandering.

I hope to continue to write.

It was a cleaning weekend

After the recent long drive my car was dirty; very dirty. I didn’t get time during the week to clean it. So this weekend, I took some time to clean both interior and exterior.

Also I took time to clean up all the books! I took almost 15 books to dispose.

The cleaning weekend comes to an end.
