Networked Cross Word Puzzle

If u have noticed, in crossword puzzles, in the beginning, no answer you think of, will fit into the grids.. Then you take the clues one at a time and try to solve them slowly.... After a while, you feel that something is just not right, but still go on.. you don't think why a particular clue is given.. you just go ahead, try your best to figure out what it means and fill the grids.. In the end, you are amazed that all the Grids are full and the cross word puzzle fits perfectly well....and of course, it brings a feel of learning and triumph. Life is more like a network of Problem - Cross Word puzzles .... There are a lot of Grids in each Problem Cross Word... There are lot of Confusions, Trials, Mistakes, Learning, the Clues, and the blind faith on the basis of which you follow the Clues. In the end, after you manage to solve the problem, you gain a new perception and a new strength like never before. Some times, you find that the problem was never meant to be a problem. It would h

Fancy..........

In the Kingdom of God, a major decision was taken this morning.God decided to make you invisible for the whole of tomorrow. You get an email on the decision. No one will be able to see you but you will be able to see every one around. You cannot speak to any one, but can hear every word that any one speaks. How do you plan to spend the day as 'Invisible Man' or 'Invisible Woman'? How best will you make use of this opportunity? Send in your fancies as comments on this post. Have fun. Your imaginations can run really wild, but run a censor on what you write...We all care for the ethics of this blog. Dont we?? :) Start your Imagination Car/Bike/Horse/Camel/Jet/Plane/Rocket/Anything else that would define the speed you enjoy. Thanks a lot.

Take a little Time to....

Take a little time each day to.... 1. Pray for your loved ones 2. Admire Nature 3. Appreciate whole-heartedly 4. Greet your acquaintances as you walk past them 5. Learn something new 6. Respond to your e-mails 7. Share a Joke 8. Recall appointments with people 9. Plan your calendar 10. Maintain promises 11. Listen to a friend in need 12. Speak to your Loved ones 13. Say 'Thank You' 14. Read few pages of a book that interests you 15. Listen to Music 16. Understand people 17. Count your Blessings 18. Spend with your ‘SELF’ These thoughts just sprang up on my mind when I was just finishing a technical document. I have no idea why, but then i think these eighteen points are worth a try.

Response to E-mails.

How often do we realise the importance of response to an e-mail communication ? Only when there is a major problem or when there is an appreciation or when your opinion is explicitly asked for. Admittedly these three contexts are good reasons for you to write back to e-mails but there are other reasons you could possibly consider. Some one has actually thought of 1. Sending you a mail 2. Addressing you by name or as Dear 3. Spending time on the e-mail message 4. Wishing you well or saying 'Thanks' or 'Good Day' or 'Thanks and Regards' as a sign-off line In group emails, apart from the content of the email,your name in the mailing list and the time that the sender has invested in writing the message are two good reasons for you to respond to the email. This idea applies to cases when you dont write back because you dont have time.. This does not apply to situations when one deliberately avoids writing back to emails. I have no comments on the later case. Watch o

Have a Great Day

Hi, This is something i wrote for a newsletter that never came up. Ideally this article takes the credit of the first set of lines i have ever written outside my profession. I spent about half a day putting these ten lines in place. Not sure if it would really take that long, but i think i took extra care because the world was going to read it... So now that i have a platform to publish it, thought i would very well put it up here........ Check list to having a great day at work: Do you • Say a cheerful "Good Morning"? • Say "Please", "Thank you" and "Sorry" and mean it? • Count on self-confidence? • Believe that "Mistakes do happen and it is okay to make mistakes"? • Forgive and cheer yourself when things go wrong? • Believe that problems could be "interesting"? • Define fun as "solving interesting problems at work"? • Try to do your best even when you don't feel like it? • Know when to take a break from work? •

First Interview

All firsts have an importance. In those lines, this is my first interview for the book i dream of writing someday.......... I typed out around 35 questions and took it to this Miss.Busy friend of mine who had given me an appointment to talk to her on Work Place or Paradise. Now, for those of you who wonder why should i take appointments, u forget that i am starting out as a writer and would need people's attention completely when they talk to me. I dont want to land up at their desks at the wrong time. I better start out professionally where you talk for the appointed number of minutes to the appointed person at the appointed time. Lot of people think that i am being formal though. The questions are on the lines of work life and personal life of a person. She is a sincere, dutiful, responsible programmer of a team which is forever motivated by 'Work is Worship' proverb. A good morning wish cheers her up. She takes her mistakes seriously, is not a perfectionist,and has a mi
