::::::::::::::When Lifez Going Monotonous :::::::::::::

if u kno me well personally, u shd b aware that i always like to face differnt situations than gettin on wth watz happening all the time.... i slowly had this feeling growing aggressively on me until last week as life started to b more workaholic and no much fun occupying my mind.....

the remedy arrived last weekend :) yeahhhhhh it was a team outbound training that we had for 3 nights and 2 days.... however, i wasnt anticipating any much fun as i thought its gonna b too official and things will b very formal... my perceptions were almost stupid, i realized this once we started trip.... the place this time is Danteli, 60 kms away from hubli (Karnataka) .... this place is very close to Goa border (i shudve sneaked away ...)

we left bangalore on train on thursday nite.... we wer 70 ppl altogether and it was fun all nite in the train... public wer too good and din bother us at all.... reachd hubli the next morning and started heading towards danteli....Danteli is a lavishing beauty wth fulla thick jungle and aggresive river all over... medium showers there tickled my adventure bones and i was floating
with the bliss for all the 2 days.... we reached the jungle lodges resort and adventure camp... very unfortunately the white water rafting got cancelled at the last moment due to heavy water current ( this current was indeed a shock to me :( ) we hired a training team from outside to carry on with the team building exercises (the actual objective of the trip) .... the guy was pretty impressive wth his looks and commanding tone... the main purpose is to kno ppl in yr team very well by travelling with them and sharing yr thoughts....

i slowly gotto kno many ppl in my deprtment who wer (unlike my team) very good and frndly... we all wer charged up (tho been too tired out of the train journey) for the activities.... we all wer broken in to many teams and the tasks wer given.... it was all fun and thrilling we learned a lot about strategy, communication, collaboration, resource management, adapting to environmnt etc.... all these years ive seen all these only in books... now i felt that all myself ... it was great yo...

few of the activities were very much challenging and taken the piss outta us.... it was so long and tiring .... still we had the fun we wanted every often.. the food was absltly great (my deepest concern ;)) i was in dormitry sharing wth 10 other cool dudes in my deprtmnt... its an irony, no matter how good or bad the ppl are ... when it comes to dormitry and sharing every one appears extremely good and frndly.....(is that my illusion???) doesnt matter i had my fun... the eveng we had the treasure hunt as a part of the team activity... it was an experience... torches in the hand.... dark jungle ... scary night...rain every where... search for clues...fear of those deadly creatures... the funnies part is ..our clues wer taken by monkeys there and the resource person of our deam disclosed the back up clue he had......the day was finally over at one point (no one found the treasure....hahaha)

the night was abslte fun and laughter for us in the dorm..... again too late... and forced myself to sleep as i was too tired... the next day wasnt so exciting as we all totally worked out and the physical activities was not appealing to us at all.... again team activities .... the common thing i observed here is the seniors (mre than 2 years in the company) wer more energitic but was way too rude and were trying to dominate the juniors (less than 1 year odd exp...like me) in most of the team activities.... this is only a nudge that i had wth in me and apart from this i enjoyed the rest of it.....

we all wer set free the after noon for the coracle rides along the river... i chose to skip this as the coracles wer over crowded and i felt stuffy in between the crowd.... so we ( all my mates who joined sap wth me) prefered to have a long and conversational walk in to jungle just to ease ourselves.... i shud say it was another experience and its so ironic ppl strt to flow out wth emotions wen they are excited or in a very different situation wer they never in wth the same ppl.... we all had a common theme in our discussions...its the managers attitude and behaviour against the new bies.... we rated good, bad and worst managers.....enjoyed the scenic beauty of danteli....

back to resort...packed up and left the place wth fulla adventurous and completely strange memories.... this is not a normal outing at all.... for the first time i felt this wen im out to a jungle....adventure, learning and fun all the way.....

mahabaratha and the management

*** (Non) Statuatory Warning***

This blog is quite long and will be interesting for managemnt freaks. stay off if u r not one of this kind :)

*****************************

I t was one of the pleasant Tuesday evening, i shud say... was a pretty long day for me with burden gettin heavier smoothly... it was our department Q3 startegy meeting ( a summit, precisely)

My department vice president is organizing this and I was thrilled as I never attended this on previous quarters… however, I was anticipating a boring lecture thaz gonna make me doze away… The meeting started and I liked the way my VP done wth his presentation (im not elaborating on this as this is not my concern of this blog ;))

Ther was a short 10 mins break and I was aware that therz gonna b a 1 hour presentation from a professor of IIM – B about “Unbundling Managerial Potentials” … by that time I was sure this is gonna b totally an alien concept for me… also therz gonna b a grand dinner after that (do u still think I will b lookin forward for the presentation) I made up my mind to sit for an hour by keeping eyes open and switch off the rest….

The professor had a typical geek look on him… with long hairs tied, French beard, pot belly that bounces often, bla bla bla…. He started and I thought I cud lend my ears for a couple of mins (before I switch off myself) he started in an abslte grace ,

“Iam Ramnath Narayanswamy, and I am here to talk about some management stuff that will let u go away with some value”…

this still doesn’t appeal much to me… then he started with this question

“Tell me my friends, what is management?”

very apparent … any one will ask this before they start any kinda discussion regarding management… (but I din kno the exact anser…very ironic!!! Ain it?? ;)) a manager geek in the crowd (of 100 odd people) answered…

“Doing the right thing at the right time”, he sed with fulla bliss all over his face (finally he gotta chance to answer some one in a crowd)

“May I add……at the right place as well???” , he placed his request in a more lucid manner… I am impressed with his communication …. Very much anticipated reaction from the geek… “Yes…I guess u can” I was LMAO (What else he cud say) …”But I have to tell this, the whole definition is not completely acceptable” …every one wowed at this …he gave a lovely explanation for why this cant be the apt anser… later he defined the management as follows…

“Management is a creative response to a set of contradictory constraints”

…. Some body kill me ..i don have any clue about how to understand this definition, later he added.. “Those contradictory constraints are SWOT (Strength, Weekness, Opportunity and Threat)”…is it???, “When you putting a step ahead you have to parallely work on all these four major factors”… impressive, I thought (I cant explain about how to work on all these factors due to severe time constraint )

Any one who is old, experienced and confident will keep telling one or the other contradictory descriptions… so im not surprised any way…later he was explaining about his attempt to map the epic (Mahabaratha) to our management …he compares the management life as a war and he quotes 3 key factors thaz needed for a good manager (warrior) as

· Analytical Intelligence – Your actual technical skills that u put on yr work… This forms the actual ‘SCIENCE’ of war.. In Sanskrit he defines it by the word “Shradda”
· Emotional Intelligence – your leadership, interaction, attitude, etc.. at yr work place… This forms the actual ‘ART’ of war.. In Sanskrit he defines it by the word “Viveka”
· Spiritual Intelligence – this is the main part where Indians are absltly amazing and this is the key factor that puts India at top in many MNC’s … This forms the actual ‘CRAFT’ of war.. In Sanskrit he defines it by the word “Vairakya”

So to win the battle one needs the above skills and fight wth determination….

Later he was discussing the pro’s and con’s of all the 6 pandavas (including Karna) and how a guy like each would actually be in the management world … at the end he beautifully concluded by quoting “you have to be like Krishna and use all these 6 character’s attributes to win the game” this impressed us a lot and we all din aware of the fact that the clock was running fast and we crossed the time bar… we actually wanted to know more but schedule is a schedule….

Later Im back to my desk to know mre about this amazing piece of gods creation (I mean the professor) … gotcha!!! He is quite popular in google search.. he got his own website as well its http://www.ramnathnarayanswamy.com im amazed to look at his profile and found completely demotivated by this as I find myself not even a fraction of his achievements….. I liked his attempt of mapping spirituality with management and I even mailed him my appretiation with my doubts…. Surprised to see his reply with in an hour wth my doubt got clarified….

This speech however is motivational one for a ordinary developer like me but indeed a usefull one to our managers where I can find thick difference between how a manager is suppose to be and how they are actually now… pathetic… I am now quite curious to face the challenges in the management world …would like to be a manager at some point in my future and see how challenging will the tasks be, equally balancing with my personal life J

No More Orkutting

****ive decided to stay off from orkut for ever****

Orkut is an online webcommunity to make friends... i was using this for about 5 to 6 months ... the whole design was interesting and it is a magnet (i shud say) has the extreme power of attraction... specially with all IT guys... the chief advantages of it are

  • you can catch up wth any old mates through the appropriate communty (say your school group or college group or work group)
  • u can scrap any one (u dont have to be his friend)
  • u can see any ones profile in the orkut world (again u don have to kno him to see his profile)
  • u can upload pics and have a nice and handy album for others to see
  • community forums are ther to have a common discussion about anything regarding the commnty...

as the above features attracted me, i slowly got addicted to orkutting and later i happen to realize these features actually are the biggest draw backs either....

  • --> catching up old mates <-- this is very much useless... may b one in 1000 will b bothered to reply u even if u catch yr old mates.... if u really wanna stay in touch wth yr old mates u wudnt hav lost ther contacts.... for those lost contacts one of u 2 won b keen to b in touch for ever (atleast i found this in my experience)
  • -->scrap any one <-- so do they, i can find many non sense scraps ...not jus in mine, even wth my frnds scraps... most of them are anonymous...(no privacy) why the hell shud some one else know about what u talking to yr frnd...u can mail em rather...
  • -->can watch any ones profile<--no privacy again...this really sucks (specially for girls)
  • -->can upload pics<-- this is quite a dangerous feature... many girls caught in this trap... they upload ther pics and many evil elements are mis using the pics to morph and black mail the girls....(atleast this feature shud b evacuated)
  • -->commty forums<-- people use mock accounts and start posting all those offensive, illegal, idiotic posts that irritates many using it... i can see many useless cmmtys like i hate india, i hate tamils , i hate myself, pessimists and bla bla bla....
  • waste of time.... hours are wasted on this by exploring mostly useless stuffs... (don ask me wat in the world are u doing by saving those critical minutes ;) even sleeping is good i guess)

however, the above are still fun for the fun loving people but literally makes u an addict ... i hate myself to refresh the orkut page every now and then to see if i got any messages.... many peeping in to my frnds profile jus coz they kno me... i feel guilty as myself being a bridge to reveal my frnds details as well ... i thought the whole concept of orkut is a kinda absurd and proper attention to be given so as to solve the concerned negative issues...

this is jus my opinion and i am not anticipating any one to agree with me... but i jus wud like to warn my mates to be carefull with this danger that might take u to any extent.... frnds, no matter if u do orkutting but make sure u stay safe and fine... specially girls b carefull with this extremely dangerous predator (orkut) .... :)
