Maturity takes time

It really takes time for important things to develop/build/grow, Maturity is the name of the game and primarily,it is the journey which is the real deal and not the goal.

What seems all of a sudden:
  • Dandruff doesn't not come to your hair all of a sudden- it needs around a fortnight to settle down and give you a hint that its there.
  • Tumor is not tumor in the beginning, it is a swelling which warns you, threatens you, punishes you and then finally becomes a tumor to kill you. So, even a tumor is not all of a sudden.
  • A leader is someone who not only knows about "how to lead" but should also be clear about "how to be led". So, even leadership isn't all of a sudden.
  • A rude comment is like a slap, plenty of it is a dent and then finally, more of it is a hole. Naturally, even rude behavior takes time to knock us down.

You might have what it takes, but it takes time for you to understand how to make use of all that you have.

Reminds me of the book The Alchemist ;-). If you see a guy reading better than you, its because he is reading from when he was 5 yrs old and you have just started reading that stuff (he/she is really matured), Nadal is playing from when he was 3 yrs old and don't compare his age to your age and fix on levels.

Bottom line: Its not all of a sudden that kids score great in competitive exams or become a sporting star with very less preparation. Its just that the required preparation is already done over the years and they are ready for it, but on the other hand, you have just started the real preparation and you will surely take the same amount of time as them.

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Wipro- Reporting day

Image
Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day. Reporting at Wipro office , (Guindy) Chennai- reached half an hour before and the process started just as we reached i.e. at 8:00am (bang on time) Talent ready to transform Form filling - have everything calculated to enter in your form i.e. all the 10th,12th & semester wise percentages. Also note down your agg...

The candidate you want to hire

If you are hiring, the best fit for you would be someone who can fit right-in without any kind of training. There are a lot of guys like that out in the market, but the challenge is that you need to find them, that explains why monster.com and naukri.com is such a big hit. So, I’ve been doing some interviewing for quite a long time now, and I believe that some of the good ways for you to find a candidate is to: Target potential companies and not candidates – if you find a company that works exactly like you do, then you get candidates from there who fit right in. Target communities – Be a part of the community, contribute to the community, and hire people from the community. Coz a candidate in a community shows that he is passionate about his line of work and is working more to get things done besides his office work. Address pain points – Yes! It is a business strategy and not some hiring strategy ( I think, I got that from my MD’s talk in a leadership meet ). It is very general,...
