Brother my Brother...

I incidentally was watching Pokemon movie 1999. Probably one of their first movies at that time. The villain character was far overstretched. It was the fight between the real and the cloned Pokemons that interested me a lot.

Here is the lyrics from the Movie Pokemon - Brother My Brother - By Blessid Union of Souls

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
We can try
Brother my brother

We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kind of crazy to cause so much pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way

We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Yes
We can try
Brother my brother
Yes

Let's take a moment to look deep inside
and say we're willing to give love a try
we're not as different as we seem to be
there's so much more to me than what you see

It don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
then turn around and walk away

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Dreams on Fire

It always makes me think whether am I satisfied with my work or not. Is my work really worth it? Looking back one year later
will I regret what I am doing?

I work with a major IT Company in which I am involved in Innovation Activities. Sounds challenging as well as interesting. But the
thing is like everybody else my goals are towards reaching the higher management. I really don't know when that is going to happen.
Satisfaction is primarily important to drive one-self. Well I have started believing that. This totally transforms work into passion.
What are we really passionate about?

We are here in this world for a purpose. Unless and until we don't identify what it is, what is the whole point in living?

Here is one of my fav song from Slumdog Millionaire




Dreams on Fire

You are my waking dream
You're all that's real to me
You are the magic in the world I see

You are the prayer I sing
You brought me to my knees
You are the faith that made me believe

Dreams on Fire
Higher and Higher
Passions burning bright on the pyre
One spark forever yours
Give me all your heart
Dreams on Fire
Higher and Higher

You are my ocean waves
You are my thought each day
You are the laughter from childhood games

You are the spark of dawn
You are where I belong
You are the ache I feel in every song

Dreams on Fire
Higher and Higher
Passions burning bright on the pyre
One spark forever yours
Give me all your heart
Dreams on Fire
Higher and Higher

Attempto

A day starting late is as good as losing the whole day. well, it was that kind of day for me. Saturday's are the time when I kinda start catching up with whats going around me and ofcourse the world.

Day did start a bit late, but speedo did make on.

Started with magnificent City Bus (only in the dark). God willingly I was able to fix lot of issues on the way. Finally the destination was the office.

It was going perfect until I came to know that my code which was working yesterday screwed...

Damn thing did not work the whole day :(

Whats more -This junkie is now trying to become a techie (God I hated that word). I have started doing some research around cloud computing.

Well for those you who don't know a thing about it - check this out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing

Even though the trend has began. It is I who will make it trendier (in dreams ofcourse). But will definitely do something about it.

Wondering....

Makes me wonder why our lives are not like the movies. Right on the next block you get to meet the most beautiful girl you have ever seen and guess what she stares at you like the bright moon in the skies.

Kinda wonder whats in store the very next second. I don't understand why am I wondering so much at 2:00 am in the morning.

Sleepless in Chennai

I am have started to feel the global cue hitting right down to my door steps. To start with Satyam fiasco, caused the 55,000 IT workforce on a disarray and today it is oil strick which has caused me to stay on the office premises.

So it is boys night out chilling in the comp cafe with me, myself and my beloved comp.

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
