On a day bustling with activity at my work desk, on a casual intranet messenger talk, I mentioned to my friend: "I didn't find time even to look at myself in a mirror".... Immediately came the response : A human being should not be in such a situation any day... and call it after thought or a reiteration, there was another message saying *NEVER....

When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully. - Samuel Johnson =================================================================== I came across this quotation one fine morning when I logged on to one of the servers at work. The thread of thoughts that followed, as the meaning of the statement began to unfold : When you have an exam tomorrow, you are all focussed and determined to get the content of the entire thousand page book into your head. Amazing, it is possible over night, when you could not do the same over six long months or a semester as they call in college... When you have a project deadline tomorrow, you are all glued to desk and bent upon getting that code work right. Amazing, it is possible over night, when you could not manage it in the last one week you had for the same task... We have known of "w...
