Just feel didn't right about it

Never knew how it hit me? But it did!

Is it control of my life? A challenge being wrestled out by some dictatorship!

Feel I am ready. I am

The other day I read a quote from Azim H Premji "Now or never"

The whole thing will not make a sense unless and until I will be giving a picture. Well, here it goes. Bossy in the org. seem to be taking an unusual advantage of their position and seem to play politico game.

But, well what can I say - I am a changed man. Doing what I am best at - R & D. I believe I am on my way to my goals.

Worst things are not over yet!!!

I have lost everybody I loved and this is happening yet again. Just did not feel right about the choices I have taken but I had to. It is time to make a change

Do Project Managers know their job?

I always wonder what are the qualifications required to become a PM? Is it enough to complete a BE/ BTech - 6/7/8/9/10 years of experience - some training - and tada............. here we have a new PM joining the forces of dumbos.

Project Management - by sheer sense means to manage project. Lets drill this down further. Who are homo sapience involved in making this happen? dev, qa, architect,..
So the PM should also be a people manager. And guess what guys, I have not found a single proper PM till now. Truly!! at least in India

Dictator is often apt word that fits a PM. Pretty simple to explain they do not have a convincing capability.

Lets examine the flaws - not fluent with English, no proper writing skills, they have no idea about what their product does (this is the least I would have expected), no proper business etiquette

God knows when they call themselves as a project manager, what they are really trying to prove

Mera India Mahan!

Mera Bharat mahan!

How many of us are proud to be an Indian? Whenever we compare ourselves with other countries, there are often apt word used to describe our feeling "There is nothing like India"

What is that drives us to be an proud to be Indian? Dunno

One of my fav movies "Swades" has just something to think about?

In the movie, Villagers compare India with rest of the countries and reply - we have values and others don't have!!
oh wow - Does not rest of the countries have that?

I happened to be in NY, and guess what - I was stunned at how gracious, peace-loving, rules-following (at least most of them) they were. If you go into their history, they were number one Gangsters! What changed them?

Why are we not striving to be the best? Why is the individual effort missing? Why do we blame everything to the government?
