In Pursuit of Happiness? .... just be a child

If I ask you to be a child again, would you be able to do it. I know everyone wants to become a child again but is it so simple to rewind conscious state of mind? All this started on a pleasant Sunday afternoon, my child was playing in porch and I was sitting aloof and enjoying view of 100% unadulterated innocent happiness on face of my child, when I thought aren’t these best years of life?  So normal, right! But then I realized something which created paradigm shift in me. Everything happens for a reason. So if there are children in this world, it’s for a reason. As a child we start our life, it must be for a reason. We can notice pure joy and happiness in all children that must be for some reason. So I fell into a loop of thoughts and reached to what I am going to share as part of this post.  Nature / Creator / God / Almighty / Supreme / Science whoever we believe create children, might have created all species directly with adulthood instead of starting as a child, as a...

Planning "The Martian" way....

Today 7-Oct-2015, me and six of my colleagues watched the Martian. When we booked tickets, I thought what might be so special about this movie. It must be just another Sci-Fi movie. However just within mere three hours my view about the same changed to exact opposite. Martian is based on a novel by Andy Weir. Story revolves around efforts of an astronaut "Mark Watney" to stay alive on MARS. Story of movie is pretty simple however the way it has been presented is awesome. What I have personally learnt from the movie is One of the most important quality of a leader is to stay calm in any situation and think out all possible options, choose best practical option keeping in mind calculated risk and reach to a firm decision within minimum time.  Another thing to learn is what Mark Watney explains his students at the closing scene of movie "No one will support you out there and you will have many problems however you need to solve one problem and then the another...

Are you literate ? ? ?

Information Technology (IT) has blosommed in India in past decade or so. As being part of IT, my life usually get churned out in late working hours to meet the deadlines (and avoiding myself being dead), sometimes working weekends (with my wife shouting on me for having no personal life). However IT is not all about burning out at both ends but it also has few (more towards fewest) advantages. One of the best advantage for me being a travel lover is that we (IT people) get to travel round the world, domestic or international whichever it may be, we get to live in posh hotels and enjoy various cultures and foods and drinks.....Yummy.  I am writing this blog entry during one of my such visit to airport waiting lobbies. A burning query has inspired me to write this entry and I hope reader will appreciate the thought. I will be more than happy, if even one of my reader change (positively off course) after reading this entry. So lets get our story rolling . . . . . ....

GOD’s existence and Human

We humans have very delicate emotions. When something goes in our favor we say “Thank God” while when something goes against our wish, statement changes drastically to “God,Why Me?”. So today I am sharing my thoughts & opinions on existence of GOD/ultimate creator/energy & relation/impact on Human. Being in IT, we are usually discussing & sometimes fighting over various topics ranging from big bang to boomrang(:p), innocence to corruption. (these discussions catch fire when we have idle minds for obvious reasons). I gathered thoughts to write today’s article from my colleagues. Thanks to them. One fine evening, one of my agnostic colleague with less or no work asked another religious colleague, “Does god exists?” and then in that moment itself, I knew that this discussion was going to be ...yes, wait for it ...leeeegendaaarrrrry. Two cubicle split into two groups, people facing each other  as if two countries are facing each other with arms, ready to fight. ...
