Trying to get all the information you can - FOMO

If you can’t follow all your subscribers (online), what do you do? You generally tend to go back to see all that you missed, and then you consider that as a backlog that needs to be cleared soon.
If you read a superb article online, you would want to just read it and enjoy it…although, you might have 500 other articles in your Google reader that might be as good as that article (this happens with me all the time). A lot of us feel that we’ve got to read all the other articles at any cost and we treat those articles as a backlog (that’s how much we like our subscribers), and we make sure that we put extra hours the next day to catch up with all that we missed.

What I think we should do is: see what we have time for (opportunity cost) and then decide on a few things to do for the time we have. If you think that you are going to miss out on good things if you don’t check every update, then you won’t be able to enjoy the one article that you are reading…but if you just consider that this one article is the best you can get out of all the other articles, you will enjoy that article and get the most out of it. The point is that we should just read that ONE article and say NO to the rest of the articles.

We all are affected by FOMO (Fear of Missing opportunities). We fear that not-being-able-to-do-something might lead to a loss of opportunity. Just get over it, don’t think much, just decide on what’s best and do it (may be you are wrong about “what’s best”, but that’s how things really are, don’t fight it, just deal with it).

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...

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.

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,...
