reviving a new habit

It was a few years back, more than a couple of them, that I decided I would scribble some regular stuff on my blog regularly and and few not so regulars occasionally. I had a sudden feeling that I had a lot that I was observing around and I had the required talent to put the thoughts to paper(web or e-paper to be precise). However, days and months and years passed taking weeks and fortnights along with them that I published even the regulars occasionally. Not that there was a lack of thought provoking events, ideas or people during this period who deserved attention. There was no lack of thoughts. There never is lack of ability to allot some words to the thoughts, especially when the thoughts are all mine. So then, where was the problem? And this sure is a problem. One does not lack the will, conviction or the ability to write and yet does not write. Now this is a really thought provoking idea and deserves some allotment of words in its favor. Writing, I have begun to...

Office Humor

I am not very sure if I have spelled it correctly or not as I am writing on an elementary text editor called notepad. Notepad does not offer any kind of spell-check or spelling suggestion facility and I am feeling like a little crippled by the lack of 'on-the-fly' word suggestion. Just wondering what is crippling, the provision of spelling suggestion or lack of it? open for discussion. So coming back to the point, and when the topic itself is not clear, it becomes all the more difficut for me to come to the point. Just wondering what is Office humour? Office humour could be some form of humour that is in place in offices. I doubt as in offices any humanly thing can not be 'in place'. And if it is, it is supposed to be 'productive' should have a boss and a mentor and is supposed to show some improvement in a tangible measurable way(the long trail of words just passed mean how well one can lick butts, in some intangible way). Office humour might also mean somethin...

cost of labour

It is just a queer perchance that i am trying my hand once again at this blog. The fact is that if I were to try my hands, I would not have been doing it as I had promised myself of the "thoughts flowing in". I am not trying my hand at , I am pouring in my thoughts. There is a distinct difference between the two. At 11:00pm in night, this is the only possibly productive thought that has dawned upon me. what i am doing for last 6 odd hours(or even - literally) is wait for something to happen. - a code merge which will ultimately result in showcasing some sort of productive work output that I and the team have been working on. This all can not be postponed, planned, or rescheduled. because we are supposed to be respecting the deadlines, effort, client etc etc. but are we respecting the labour? a team of close to 50 people sitting idle for 7 hours = 350 manhours wasted. and we talk of professionalism. dont know, whether I should use the word shameless or shameful for it.

Madhubani paintings

I thought that something will keep flowing in this blog, but there is hardly anything that i wrote. Now there is some reason to write on. I have created a site on madhubani paintings. this is on http://madhubanipaintings.saratechsolutions.com Madhubani paintings are traditional art done by women of north bihar. cotton wrapped on bamboo stick is used as brush and natural colours are used. will write later on this. update- dismantled this. not valid anymore.

just to start with

It is quite a surprise that even when i like writing and scribbling. and when i am not that 'net scared' i have not yet tried my hands at writing a blog. So today i have made a begining. hope i am able to keep something flowing in my blog. Rahul.
