After the question on tagline, the conversation picked up quickly. I relied on my mental tape to record the conversation. I have stored the essence of the conversation and am trying to put forth what I heard as accurate as my tape has recorded. Since I am not sure of exactly recalling the entire 'One hour and twenty five minute conversation' word-to-word, I would prefer to write this post more in the prose form than an actual interview. I don't want to misquote. :) Over to the interview... Opinion on Failure: The question was pretty abstract to both of them. I reframed: If some one does not perform in the team, what will be your move? Madhav and Rajini share the same opinion on this: They talk to the team member first, find out the problem which stops him from doing the best, give suggestions to the team member, and ensure he is comfortable working on what he is assigned. If the team member still does not perform,he is given a chance to exhibit his skills in any other strea...

The day seemed hectic at Madhav's paradise.Well, there was nothing unusual about it. With Rajini and Madhav frantically working on their computers, I almost decided that the interview I was hoping to have with them that day, was not happening. I did not even want to ask them. The least I could do for them was to just keep quiet which is very rare... If you know me , you would admit that. Well, my favorite and tested saying: 'Expect the Unexpected' proved true, for the umpteenth time, when Madhav actually asked me if I remember about the interview appointment that evening. Thrilled beyond limits, I readily re-slated schedules at my end and geared up for the interview. I had prepared the questions about a few months back with Rajini in mind, but then, thought it is okay to have answers heard out from both Madhav and Rajini on the same set of questions. There were just a few questions, as I had always seen them with their 'Busy' tag on their forehead. I firmly believe...

Exactly.. You are reading it right...I don't know what to write... Right now, I am at work reading a document that does not make any sense to me.The writer in me wants to understand the content and write about it, but then the document stares me straight on my face with all its confusing points... When I repeat the line, I actually find that the fault is actually mine.. It is entirely my problem if the document's points are confusing. Some one has put in the best of efforts to convey something. Obviously, there has to be a reason why some line is there in the document. It is upto the reader(me) to try and find out what it means. I think I am confused because of the heavy lunch I had in the afternoon which is draaaaaaaagging me off to sleep..So the document is not making sense. I can relate this directly to almost all the books and articles we read each day. If our mind is clear we might enjoy every thing we read. Ofcourse we all have comments to make, but it does not mean that ...

During my visit to Kerala last weekend, I met an old man. I spent few minutes talking to him. His view point: All of us work on computers. In a computer, you run anti-virus software that saves your machine from virus related problems. You clear up your folders and arrange files once in a while. If there are files you do not need, you take time to delete them. If you are taking so much care to keep your computer clean and safe, why not put the same effort to keep your mind safe ? Your mind is your brain which is equivalent to a computer. Anything that happens within you is due to the brain and anything that happens outside gets straight into the brain. Now, if you choose to retain only those points that give u knowledge, happiness, confidence and other such positive notes, then 'your computer' will remain healthy. Mental Health leads to physical health and happiness.On the contrary, anything that causes anger, worry, and other such negatives are to be deleted instantly from our ...

Ever been to a wedding where you have the invite but without the girl's name? That is exactly how i felt when my friend called me up to announce that he is getting married. He has given me the date, the place and said that i am invited for the wedding. He has also said that I may or may not know her.. may or may not get shocked to see her as his wife... These were the clues he gave me among others that i am pretty confused about. The point is, the very idea of attending a wedding knowing that you know both the girl and the guy, but are left with guessing the name of the bride till the date of wedding..is exciting. My friend is one of the very few who can come up with such strange ideas... strange as it may seem, it is great if you try to imagine one such invite. I am still wondering if i should go ahead and guess. Why not go for the wedding and then wait for the bride to appear on stage ?? Let's see, will let u know about this experience and whether or not i could crack the Que...

Cool blue colored walls Soft carpet to match the ceiling color Dark colored drapes on the windows A/C Fan Room freshener Cozy bed Cozy blankets Spongy pillows Teddy Bears Soft music Pleasant Wall painting Night lamp Bedside Table with a bright table lamp A nice book These days people have all these, but they are unable to sleep. This whole picture-painted bed room flashed in front of me, when i was held up last evening in the bridge at Kodambakkam High Road ( one of the renowned places in Chennai for traffic jam and prolonged 'Red' light on the Traffic signal post.). For those of you who are unable to imagine what Kodambakkam high road looks like in the evenings, i will try my best to picture paint this place here. A bridge that connects one busy cross road with the other. Both the signals have at least hundred vehicles waiting for the 'Red' light to turn to 'Green'. A hundred other vehicles cross the bridge. It is a two way traffic. This means there are two hu...
