One of the best Investment Quotes I’ve ever come across:

On Earning: “Never depend on single Income. Make Investment to create a second one”.

On Spending : “If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need”.

On Savings: “Do not save what is left after spending,  but spend what is left after saving”.

On Taking Risk: “Never test the depth of the river with both the feet”

On  Investment: “Do not put all your eggs in one basket”

On Expectations: “Honesty is very expensive gift. Do not expect from cheap people”

Sacrifice

What exactly a "Sacrifice" means?

Is this something you give up for some body just because you love the more and you want them to be happy?

Tell me is that really what "you" do, when you say 'I sacrificed "something" for you', just to see you happy.

I see in such way that, you love that person and you want them to be happy, there is your 'self interest', you are not giving up some thing for others, you are making your self happy by giving it to others.

As per dictionary also it reflects the same thing

"an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy'

i.e.

"sacrifice is nothing but satisfying yourself by giving up something to get something else"

Because of our films, we say and feel too high about "sacrifice" ...

Care

Do you think a person cares other person with real care?

I think the person cares about other person just because he/she cares about him/her more, hence he/she cares about other person.

I bet this is very much true in each and every relation ship....

There is selfishness behind every caring person, it might be direct or indirect.

Fight Against Corruption...

Facts

Friend

Making a million friends is not a miracle,the miracle is to find a friend who will stand by YOU, when a million are against YOU.

U have any?

CH**** Politics

Whatever I am going to scribble here, nothing new in this everybody know this but still nobody will follow.

Hot and burning Topic of India  i.e. the unnecessary political drama in Mumbai (Maharashta, West India) named as Marathi Manoos

Theme of this protest is to evacuate North Indians or Non - Marathis from Mumbai , which is ridiculous as an Indian as well as a Human being. All these years all are friends people are ready to give anything for each other (Non Marathis/North Indians Vs Marathis) suddenly one fine morning because of some greedy politicians and mind less people all became mess, same people who were ready to give anything and everything for others needs are became the people who are ready to nab anything and everything . Only politicians are gaining because of this inhumanity thing, because of few men greediness whole nation is bending its head with shame.

Though India is one of the most fast and leading developing countries, its shame to see these type of situations still. It may place India always a developing country never be a developed country.

Everybody knows nobody is perfect, but still a person should respect his position and use his power usefully, which is not at all the case with the politicians.

Leaving alone

After getting relieved from the current job and joined in the new one, those people are behind me like anything before I joined them, now I am behind them to get me out of this bloody situation in my life.

I never be this alone in my whole life (10187, so far), all these days/hours never been so huge in my life but from these seven or eight days which I've spent is the longest hours/days/seconds in my whole life.

Wake up early in the morning which I used to do when I go to office (now on bench, still stuck with the same habit, hard to change) donno what to do, looking for friends who are online but all will be busy with their work and life(everybody has their own life to live, so not to interfere).

In fact I could've used this time lot better, but as usual I failed to use the time in appropriate manner (one of biggest flaws in my life so far :(, need to come out of it very badly, its big time to do that).

I really donno what I've done for all these 7 or 8 days but days flew away, I didn't even used at least one day appropriately, but that's how life goes dude, I could've done lot of things in these 7 or 8 days instead of placing my useless butt in front of 23" color box and keeping bloody remote control which can take away the precious time of your life from you, you know all these things but still you are help less, whom else you can blame here other than the yourself.

Ya I can say I had some rest after those stress full days, but I really don't want this type of rest again in my life.

Rest in my view, should be spend time with friends, family your loved ones and having fun not sitting idle in the home and place your useless butt in front of TV.

So my holy loving GOD, if at all you give me rest please give me the rest which defined in my view, thanking you very very much.

Hard to get relieved - Part II

 

Finally I crossed all the hurdles and found the exit door with out any major hazards.

Hard to get relieved - Part I

Hi

I was working in the current organization around 4 years, I realized that its enough here, now its time for me to take a break from this organization and seek for a new opportunity and start a new career path from there,fortunately I got a break (not a big break) so time to say adios to my company (nothing is permanent) now the real drama started, this is the main twist for the drama : as per current company norms I've to give 8 weeks notice period which is very difficult in USA (ఎ౦దుక౦టే మన కోసమ్ 8 వారాలు కాచుకూర్చెనె౦త టాల౦ట్ మన దగ్గర లేదు ;) )

Stage 1:

I've sent my resignation to my manager(s) and gave for 3.5 weeks notice

Day1: I didn't get any response, I guess they didn't expected that I'll resign (that was my assumption I may be wrong)

Day2: I again sent a mail asking for my replacement for knowledge transition (మనకె ఏమి లేదు మనమేమిస్తామ్, కాని రూల్స్ కదా :) ), now the action started first manager (M) called and asked for the reason (but he knows already about this as he encouraged me a lot to do this (ఈడిది చాల పెద్ద కథ ఉ ౦దిలే అది చెప్పల౦టే రోజులు సరిపోవు, కాబట్టి వదిలేద్దమ్ మన స౦గతి మాత్ర౦ చూద్దా౦) just formal talk which is official (wink) some husk for some time then end of the discussion

Day 3(Big Day) : Main Manager (MM) called (చాలా చాలా తెలివైన వాడు పెద్ద ముదురు) first question: reason for leaving: If I say  career growth that wont be true as I got a good chance (though team was bad, not much support struggled a lot, but I got reorganization like he can handle difficult situations and deliver things on time) so straight answer financial reasons, which they cant satisfy they themselves know that (commerciale కదా అ౦తా), main twist: ok after 45 min discussion final conclusion : you wont get any of required docs from this organization as you are not giving 8 weeks notice which you ought to give so think and get back to us call ended

two days gap then weekend so after 4 days again discussion started

MM pinged me in the IM any updates, I told not as of but I can extend one more week, first and last time he came down in his words (summarization) : see boss already people are leaving my self and M are in trouble because of this so if you can give us 6 weeks notice we'll try to relieve you properly with all required documents.

End of Stage 1.

Stage 2 continues.....

इसिको जिन्दगि केहतॆ है मेरे भाइ

BackStabbing Boss

Back stabbing boss, got shocked after listening these words? don't worry if you are smart worker it wont take much time for you to come to know about this, if you are a hard worker it may take years to understand about this. I am writing this, it doesn't mean that I always worked with such type of people.

Actually the thing is none of the things can controlled by one single person right, we need to work as team to get a fine result, if you are working with a team there will be always pros and cons.

Managers shouldn't play favorites. Those who do inadvertently encourage backstabbing. Those who do and who aren't a good judge of character pretty much ensure it.

And, at the risk of getting a lot of people mad ad me, those who use religion or religiously as a way of determining who is most worthy of their confidences are among the most likely to be poor judges of character. That someone quotes verses of the Bible, the Koran, or the Bhagavat Ghita says nothing at all about how they behave in the workplace.
Now that you know, your choices are simple: Leave your department, leave the company, or wait it out. Leaving the department is probably the best of them.
In a large company it's actually quite likely that those in charge have no idea something like this is going on - they rely on people reporting to people reporting to them to keep this sort of thing under control. The bad news is, it happens. The good news is, it probably isn't happening everywhere. Somewhere in the company you'll find opportunities without having to to change employers.
What's probably the losing strategy is to wait it out. Unless your boss isn't delivering results, that is. You can infer this from knowing, first-hand, that this is how your boss has been managing all along.

Bad bosses -- whether ogres, control freaks, jerks, micro managers, or bumbling fools -- can be found in all organizations. Bad bosses are no laughing matter when you have to face him or her every working day. And, unfortunately, with the rightsizing of the last several years, there are probably more overworked and undertrained bosses than ever. It’s also possible, though, that bad bossing is just part of the organization’s corporate culture.

So, what can you do if you are working for a bad boss? This article will provide you with the tools you need to manage the situation as best you can, but remember that sometimes the only solution is transferring to a different part of the company -- or switching employers.

Make sure you are doing everything right
The first solution is an honest analysis of your actions and behavior. How have you been handling yourself in your job? Have you always taken the high road, or have you resorted to occasional backstabbing, gossiping, or underperforming? If you’re human, it’s likely your bad boss has affected your performance, so try ignoring all these distractions and focus on your work to see if that changes anything. Find other sources of positive reinforcement for doing your job to the best of your abilities.

Compile a list of bad boss behaviors
The second solution is a bit more involved, but should be a cathartic experience for you. Make a list of all the things that your boss does that drive you nuts. Let the list sit for a few days and then review it again, adding or deleting activities upon further reflection. Next, rank the list from most annoying to least annoying. Pick the top two or three worst offenses and develop some suggestions for how your boss could act differently in those situations. Edit the suggestions to remove sarcasm or anger. Show the suggestions to a trusted friend who has no vested interest in the situation. Edit the suggestions again.

Once you feel comfortable that your suggestions are positive and helpful, consider scheduling a meeting with your boss to discuss. Perhaps suggest meeting outside the office for breakfast or lunch. Leave your emotions at the door, but be prepared for your boss to have an emotional reaction. It’s possible that your boss is unaware of his/her actions, and this meeting could be very positive for all involved; however, it’s also possible that the meeting will end badly.

Keep a journal of incidents
The third solution involves documenting each bad behavior of your boss in a journal. Don’t judge or write emotional reactions; simply document the facts of the situation and how the bad behavior impacted your performance -- as well as others in the department. Again, this process may be enough to relieve you of the stress so that you can cope. However, at some point in the future -- perhaps as you are leaving for a new job -- you might consider taking the journal to a trusted colleague in human resources or even a mentor within the company.

Find a mentor with the company
If you love the company but hate the boss, another solution is to develop a mentoring relationship with a boss/supervisor in another part of the company. Mentoring is a fantastic strategy that you should consider even if you have a good boss because a mentor is someone who can help you in many ways, from offering advice to suggesting you for a promotion. And in coping with a bad boss, a mentor can be a good sounding board for you, and perhaps after you have documented all the offenses, someone who has the pull and the power to do something about your bad boss.

Report your bad boss
A last resort is reporting the bad actions/performance of your boss to his/her supervisor -- or to someone in human resources. While logic would hold that the company would not want a manager who is hurting performance or productivity, the reality is often that you become branded as a trouble-maker/whiner/complainer and your days at the company quickly become numbered.

Don’t sacrifice your health or self-esteem
The worst thing you can do is simply to do nothing, hoping the problems will get resolved. No job, boss, or company is worth losing your health, sanity, or self-esteem. If you can’t find a way to resolve these issues and/or your boss simply will never change his/her behavior, you should immediately start working your network and begin looking for a new job -- within or outside the organization. Again, if you love the company, a transfer might be the best option -- but keep in mind that your boss might be as evil as to sabotage that transfer. And try not to quit before you find a new job, but again, if work just becomes too unbearable, you may need to consider quitting to save yourself.

Not All Bosses Are Bad

As much as we like to complain about our bosses, workers respect their bosses a great deal, these are the most important traits for a boss to have:
· Leading by examples
· Strong ethics or morals
· Knowledge of the business
· Fairness
· Overall intelligence and competence
· Recognition of employees

Not sure how many of you have worked with a boss who is having the above features those are real lucky, but not me and very definitely not in my current assignment :).

leader

This is the perfect definition for leader ship :

The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.

Some qualities Leader should have :

Leader is a servant : Authority does not exist for its own sake, but for the sake of those under that authority. Leaders exist to meet the needs of those they lead.

Leader is loyal : A leader should foster loyalty at every level, not just from the people to the leader, but from the leader to the people.

Leader has dirty hands : A leader will get his hands in the work, not to Lord it over the people, but to understand what must be done.

Leader will embrace dissent : Since a leader knows his limitations, he will listen to those who disagree with him. Dissent between brothers can be healthy.

Leader builds leaders not followers : A leader should lead people to grow and mature, from zero to hero , instead of leaving them babes.

Leader should create a path : Leader should not follow where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Leader should be the part of the team : Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished, the people will say we have done it ourselves.

my inspiration for blogging

I've to mention it here, I've seen lot of blogs but never thought to start of my own, but couple of new friends and my old buddy "CSMK" inspired me to start this blogging, which is a good thing (too much is always bad) so I want to be in the good part.

my life so far.....

 

Chittoor : The place where  I was born and brought up.

Bangalore : The Place where I started my career.

America : The Place where I've seen the real commercial human life.

 

Life in Chittoor : It was pretty cool in all the terms "BINDAAS" no body to question no need to answer any body (of course parents are always there to ask and listen).

Life in Bangalore :

First visit to Bangalore (in 1998-99) :I've reached bangalore first time when I am doing my graduation this time for roaming around "बाप का खून कि कमाइ को उडाने के लिये" so had fun had and a pretty good time.

Second visit (in 2002-03) : This is when I started to fight the battle of life (struggle for job), this time bangalore was horrible not at all good ("typical human thinking", when everything is going good everything and everybody is good, something goes wrong everything and everybody is wrong)

By god's grace or my parents blessings or because of good friends I've I got a break pretty soon but still fight was on, but this time fight is for survival (in job) during this period bangalore is ok, then again some struggle then got a big break during 2004 now the fight is more interesting (earlier fight was between our kind of people) now "Welcome to Corporate WORLD" "घन्दा है पर दन्दा है ये" so initial stages struggled bit to settle down(because of some very good friends in the same corporate world), then forget about whole world just office, home that's it for two long years (after seeing back even though I've gained a little but I've lost a lot, which never comes back "कुच पाने के लिये कुच खोना पड्ता है, मगर हम तो मज्बूरन कुच पाने के लिये बहुत कोदिया", but here this "कुच"  made lot of diff dude ;),  hopefully I'll get back some at least)

Life in USA :

Now the life moved ahead a bit to USA (Dollar dreams), which came true for me with out much dreams (luckily or unluckily)

On 2006 Welcome to USA (Welcome to Commercial World on the Earth I've ever seen so far) From May'06 to Aug'06 was the one of the most horrible days of my life time (which I never want to forget) which has shown my life a new path.

Now the life is ok (cannot be best until unless you feel like that), I've met lot of new people with different attitudes (I can say I've seen the world), but pure commercial (As far as I've seen we can get only 1 % of real friendship, luckily I got, I guess).

Still struggle is going on..... which never ends....... ends only @ final destination :)

about life

Life :

You are the architect of your own Life .

Life is not easy to live, but too hard to leave.

The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.

Unrest of spirit is a mark of life; one problem after another presents itself and in the solving of them we can find our greatest pleasure

As U grow to understand life less and less,
U learn to love it more and more.

The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.

You can make your life as an inspiration to others or inspired by others.

After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.

Live your life as you give life to others, not for others.
