Monday Thru Friday

Good lord! Friday is here….. Friday never tasted this sweeter before (ever before)… Friday also brings in fear and a warning of arrival of Monday in just in 48 hours… Thought, I will sit and blog that my mind and soul has horrendously experienced last week…


So here it goes…. Tring.. tring.. tring.. The sooner my phone rings, my 2 little Sons whispers… “Hey dude, check out how dad gets mad…” other says… “P2 I guess!! and I wonder why eRoom goes down so often… Why can’t people get this stupid eRoom on a pulley, bring it up make it stay there”, How elemental thinking these little minds are on and yet make sense… I earn tons of learning from these brats….. Work is good but work over work is not only bad but worst for the future that you are depending upon, I read an article that world will have more bed ridden people than deaths in next 10-15 years… due to their melted spine or scuffed neck bones, you wanna be one …lol.

Recently, I have been to a nearby hospital adjacent to a tiny Physio therapy centre to get my BP checked and believe me guys… people were swarmed and waiting for their turn to get their part of heat-treatment and stretched… I am glad that I was not one of them, but very next second a chilled impulsive vibe ran through my nerves and compelled me to ponder upon…’What if, I was one of them….', again guys… I’m not inducing a scare in you…. But a word of caution does always come handy.

During last week I had taken my family to KFC for them to feel and breathe the fresh air with some smoky chicken strips... My wife insisted on this trip for a very sane reason that I will be away from that ugly laptop and she gets all my attention on her and kids… She started “Hey…Listen, kids are at the edge of their half yearly exams…?” I go… “Oh Yeah, I hear you talking to kids at home”… She utters further “Madiha’s maths getting tougher every day… I think you should pitch in now…” I slowly whispered irately not making very obvious to the surroundings…. “C’mon lady… you know… How occupied I’m with my meetings, escalations, Incidents etc…” and then begun of the most hated heated domestic affrays on the KFC table which was indeed hotter than spicy grilled chicken on the menu…

COMPLAINT LETTER TO THE RAILWAYS IN 1909!!!



Okhil Babu's letter to the Railway department:



I am arrive by passenger train Ahmedpur station and my belly is too much swelling with jackfruit. I am therefore went to privy. Just I doing the nuisance that guard making whistle blow for train to go off and I am running with lotaah in one hand and dhoti in the next when I am fall over and expose all my shocking to man and female women on platform. I am got leaved at Ahmedpur station. This too much bad, if passenger go to make dung that dam guard not wait train five minutes for him. I am therefore pray your honour to make big fine on that guard for public sake. Otherwise I am making big report to papers.



Okhil Chandra Sen wrote this letter to the Sahibganj divisional railway office in 1909. It is on display at the Railway Museum in New Delhi. It was also reproduced under the caption Travellers Tales in the Far Eastern Economic Review.



Any guesses why this letter is of historic value?



It led to the introduction of TOILETS in trains in India.....!!!!



So please don't think any idea is stupid and discard it. Always Speak up.

The Unforgotten Era- The School Chapter

Its odd of the odds that I am here writing this piece of experience. Who would know that I was standing in a shabby tea shop near the united church of nirmal nagar (Defence Colony) and taking sips of insipid tea with my old good friends just a few days back? And this is happening, I must say after over a decade… (Or may be close to 2). The torrid lives we had as part of our lives before ’86 are indeed unforgotten, they just fared into my life teaching me ‘nothing is bygone, surprises are yet to arrive’.


The life was a journey of agitations and contentions all through, nevertheless these happenings make your way to energize and fuel your soul to drive towards a felicitous life. This is NOT me, its my emotions that are emanating within me. I may be overreacting with the situation I was/am into, I am sure, majority of folks that I am known to would share the same feelings… for others I will just tag them as ‘inhumane’.

We with White shirt and Navy blue short are the days that I want to plunge into and live to the maximum magnitude…yet again (can I? may be..Lets try!!).

SBI- No more a Sleeping Elephant!

Someone said SBI is a sleeping elephant ignores the customer touch in the market... I have also heard some utterance like this "Hey, buddy if you wanna be happy after you buy home... DON’T GO FOR SBI", "SBI bank forget it... I am not going there, I will 'age out' so much standing in lines", "Good lord, the best thing about SBI is that these people really test our patience to the core".... Well... These lines looked so real and matured until I have experienced 4 things... Well, I forgot to tell my location... Its Bangalore:

1. The aggressive hoardings and shrewd advertisements on TV and paper lately

2. Mr. Hanumanth- AGM

3. Mr Ravi Shankar- SBI, Manager Home Loan Dept

4. OP Bhatt - I have heard about him

My whole perception took an upside down switch and looked like SBI is silently and serenely saying... Watch It! We are coming back!

My Dad and my Dad's Dad used to murmer about banking those days when I used to hardly understand the word Bank... but I know they 'did' used to utter SBI quite many times in their financial conversations... Are we ready to witness the history? Since SBI looks to be the future bank for all.... Are we going back to Future? May be... Lets watch and see!!

Whoever is behind the wheel of SBI mobility towards the future... I would urge him/them to give it little more push and they will be there on the finishing mark.... While I don’t have to wait for my kids to talk good about it, rather I want to be in the era of SBI reigned market where I am speaking positive about SBI to others. I believe the day is NOT far when SBI gets every nook and corner to benefit rich and poor.

Keep up the good work... We are behind you.

Why I Should 'NOT' Be Hating HP?

 Well... I am writing this with great emotions running inside me and I carry it for my Company with pride. I have been writing few articles around the corner of 2009 and don’t know who actually that may have impacted, but this one… I am writing it for myself... This gives me an immense pleasure to say that I don’t have any reasons to Hate HP, I consider HP as 'Helping Pal (HP), Hangover Place (HP), place to Harvest Professionalism (HP), Hub of Proficiency(HP) so on and so forth.... Why I don't hate HP? Yup... that's truely true... I have no reasons, because 'What a woman want' may be little mysterious but 'What an Employee want' is so predictable and the science of 'Knowing needs of an Employee' is well defined and sculpted within HP's book of Policies, HP caters the factor of inevitabilities of an employee and that marks an 'Employee Friendly' company. It may look little hazy to few that 'what I am talking about', but one has to redevelop and see things from 'Top' or inverted and comeout of the mindset that was snapped earlier or in the interim, you will then see the real HP in front of you... GO HP… Go…. 

I am in my 5th year now, yet…! when I enter the conference room with novices or with experts the presenter usually utters to the audience that "No question is a stupid question" this alone statement pass onto a highly motivated signal which automatically stimulates your listening and understanding power for the rest of the session. I believe most of the Superiors step-in the campus with reticence and modesty wraps on, irrespective of their behavioural characteristics outside, I have known some Managers who are so down to earth... I know they can win the entire extolments across the lanes they pass through. Where there is ‘good’ there is ‘bad’ and this is an universal logic that cannot be erroneous at any given moment of any life, so lets talk about the people who carry their Manager's tag on their foreheads with changed and chesty walking style. We know we will have to live with them and we all know 'their being' as managers is short-lived.

Mera Bhaiya Chanda- Madiha (5th Class, DPS)

मेरा भैया चंदा,
करता नही कोई काम गंदा.
घर का है वो मासूम फूल,
रोक सके ना कोई उसे, घर का रूल,
मेरा भैया चंदा,
करता नही कोई काम गंदा.


करता है वो मुझको हरदम तंग,
हर शरारत मे है उसके ह्स्मुख रंग,
मेरा भैया चंदा
करता नही कोई काम गंदा.

है वो मम्मा पॅपा का दुलारा,
आदर से आता, झट से कोई भी जब पुकारा,
मेरा भैया चंदा,
करता नही कोई काम गंदा.


लखो मे है एक मेरा भैया,
खुशियो का घर हमारा, वो है खुशहाली का पहियया,
मेरा भैया चंदा,
करता नही कोई काम गंदा.
