Change in routine...!

I am a true believer of change.. And I always enjoy the fact that change is the only constant. Last from an year or so, I am running with too many changes in my routine which are not giving me an other option to look for and think forward.

It was hard time for me to get recovered from so called Chicken Gunya which I never ever thought of. It made a scratch on my brain so that I keep certain things in mind till the last working day of my brain in my head office.

I was back to work, well prepared and ready to rock. Friends like Badiger and Sathishaaa..I thank them for everything they did when I was really in trouble. I miss them a lot. There was nothing in common in all three of us but nothing was stopping us in getting together. We three were always right in our own way which was exactly 120 degrees apart in closed circle. I enjoyed the every single moment I spent with them, be it is Vishal restaurant or Chilkur temple.
But, then comes an other thought from elder ppl back in home that…. It's time to get marry…!!

Yes, I accept the fact that this is the right time to get marry. But, back of mind there was another thought which was already running late by more than two years….moving to Melbourne. So, finally the choke was on, ignition was all set and was ready to time the key.

There comes an other surprise….spoke to all the higher officials and decided to bring it home on the last day of the year which is first day of the year for my dear bro – Salavi, I mean 31st Dec is Salavi’s b’day - guess what… bought a Car – Hundai Santro. It was one of my dream to drive a car on Indian roads and here it comes on the road now… that’s it. I can definitely teach you all on how effectively the Credit Cards should be used ..!

Once in a month, every fortnight and finally every week was expected to be there in home to look for a life partner. Every visit was a surprise and nothing was materialized. There comes the thought from the back seat and decided to make a move to Melbourne and start working on the the opportunities. Now, here I am……………………………..

Thx for everything,

Yes, It was like a bullet on the bullet proof jacket and I was watching the climax from the other end. It was expected but it became uncertain at that particular moment. I guess you are getting confused on what I am talking about .. me too...:) :)

Anyway, it was the climax scene of a movie which was running since last four years and now the day has come to run the show in an other theatre.

I would say the journey was superb and this introduction to service industry took lot more time than I ever thought of. None of my buddies will believe this fact that I was running this show in a same thetre since last four years. Now the time has come to make a definite movememnt which was uncertain .. and which became certain.

I believe it was a great learning at the right time of my life span which always keeps me reminding about the data required to take any decision as a six sigma guy. It also taught me the work culture rt from east to the west, and to deal with ppl like Peter, Jim to Zing and Yang. My learnings in past four years are driving my decision now. I am pretty close to my last day at my office - GE IDC Satyam - and am sure that I will be carrying lot many memories and experience along with me. I like to thank all of them who were part of my journey in past four years .. and I wish them all the best.

Globe is pretty ..... warm now

Yes .. that's true. It was a thought just before the summer but as and how we all celebrated the labour's day and mother's day, it become a reality ..atleast for me. Believe me, I bet you to stay here in Hyderabad for abt a week and travel abt 50km a day to earn your bread and butter, am sure that you gonna run away and never ever think of this part of our country once again.
I am here in this so called h(ot)itech city from past three years or more to earn my one breatfast, one lunch and one dinner. It happened to work even in the late nights and weekends to have some good snacks in the evening and to celebrate weekends as well. But in reality, it was like a punishment to pass through these summer.....trust me.
One of my bad/good habit is not to sleep in the day time.. even in the weekends. I was trying to use that habit to get something out from this peak hrs of this summer by lying on the bed under the ever green usha fan and forcing my eyes to look through Mr Al Gore's eyes... I mean watching the video clip called An Inconvinient Truth. It is unbelievable, It has so much to flash upon and I was really scared by seeing that video. I would recommend all of you to create an opportunity to take a look on that video. I thought of taking this to my circle (my office - ge idc at Satyam) where in we all are drive in all the way from city for our bread and butter.

This 90 minute video talks so much about global warming that one can never ever think of what is happening from north pole to south pole of this globe. Mr. Al Gore has put in such a huge effort to bring this awareness called Global Warming to one and all across the world... he deserves that Nobel prize which he got it earlier for the same cause... hats off.

One of my new friend sent me this message and trying to give me a hint on my behaviour as soon as I come back to home. I hope I am not one among them .... Anyway let's go through all of them...!!

The Live Rich Factor..!!

Most people believe that if they just had more money, the things that make them unhappy would disappear and their lives would be better. The truth is that your life can be better without more money. It can be better today, but you need to make some decisions and take some actions.
You don't need me to tell you what will make you happy -- only you know that truth.
I believe each of us has the power to discover our purpose and become joyful in the process of journeying toward that purpose. It's not easy, however. Nothing important and meaningful ever is.
What you need to do is create what I call the "Live Rich Factor" in your life. I call it this because those who find the purpose that leads them to joy are truly the luckiest people in the world, because they're living richly.
There are five basic principles involved in creating your Live Rich Factor:

Principle 1: Give Yourself a Break
We all tell ourselves the story of the one that got away. You can't move forward if you spend time focusing on what you shoulda-woulda-coulda done in 2006 or before. It's over, and its time to move on. The fastest way I know to do this is to write all of your regrets down on paper.
Make a list of all your personal and financial if-onlys. For example, "If only I had saved more money. If only I hadn't quit that job. If only I hadn't taken the job I have." You get the idea.
After reading the list aloud to yourself, get rid of it. Let it all go by literally burning the list (safely). Now you're ready for a fresh start in 2007 -- a new beginning.

Principle 2: Get Connected with Your Truth
The hardest thing to do is be honest with yourself. Asking yourself some key questions will lead you to some amazing discoveries, and possibly motivate you to do what it takes to create the life you envision for yourself.
I suggest writing your (honest) answers to the following questions in a new journal for the new year:
What makes you happy at work?
What makes you happy at home?
What makes you happy with your friends and family?
What makes you happy when you're by yourself?
What do you love to do?
What would you do with your life today if you weren't afraid of failure?
What's not working in your life?
What are you currently doing that prevents you from experiencing joy?
What's working in your life?
Who's not working in your life?
Who in your life is subtracting value from and adding misery to it?
Can you fix any of these relationships, or should you let them go from your life?
What relationships are working in your life?
If we were getting together one year from today, what would have to happen for you to be able to tell me that you now have more joy in your life?
What's the single most important thing you've learned about yourself as a result of answering these questions?
You'll find that by putting your answers down on paper, they'll become clear more quickly and the actions you need to take more obvious and easier to initiate.

Principle 3: Stop Judging Yourself
Be nicer to yourself in 2007. Many people talk to themselves in a way they would never accept from a stranger, friend, or loved one. If this describes you, try stopping the negative conversations you have with yourself immediately.
For one week, simply commit to saying "stop it" when you think a negative thought about yourself. If you're in the habit of saying negative things to yourself, you'll find this is one of the most difficult exercises you'll ever do. Carry a notepad with you and make a mark each time you catch yourself thinking negatively. You'll find that as the days go by, your negative thinking can quickly be reduced.

Principle 4: Stop Judging Others
It's hard to be joyful when you're always judging others. In fact, it's close to impossible. Judging others creates a huge amount of stress in our lives. It affects our marriages and our relationships with our kids as well as the way we relate to friends, co-workers, and society in general.
We're not here to judge one another.
The next time you find yourself upset at someone or some situation, catch yourself and ask, "Are you judging?" Judging others is often an unconscious habit. But it's a habit that can be changed the moment you decide to stop doing it.

Principle 5 : Pursue Fun with a Vengeance
It's OK to pursue fun. It's what children do. My greatest joy these days is the simple pleasure of playing with my three-year-old son, Jack.
This holiday season with Jack taught me the simple power of pursuing fun -- again and again. What was fun for Jack this Christmas? It turns out it wasn't the Big Wheel that my wife, Michelle, and I stayed up so late building on Christmas Eve. And it wasn't the Star Wars Lego toy (although he was pretty excited about that).
Instead, what Jack found the most fun was a new game I made up to keep him entertained. The game was called Geronimo -- and it involved Jack jumping from the bed onto a stack of pillows yelling "Geronimo!" This silly little game ended up bringing us both hours of fun. The price of the game: nothing. The fun: priceless. And the laughs? Endless.
Why do we stop pursing fun as we get older? Fun shouldn't be squeezed into a few weeks of vacation each year. And it shouldn't be squeezed into the last chapter of your life when you "get to" retire. Fun deserves to be a part of your life now -- in 2007.
But fun doesn't just happen. You have to make it a priority in your life or it'll go missing. Life's too short to not have it.
So here's to a fun, happy, and healthy New Year. Cheers!!!!
