A small Story..but very true

May be you would have known about this but still thought of writing it for the benefit of those who do not know.

"Long ago there was a King who was powerful and rulling over a great empire. Everything was flourishing(So no job for him and had ample time) in his kingdom. During one of his court meeting he had put across one question to his minister. He said he wanted them to find a saying which would make a sad man happy and a happy man sad(Female reader change  Man --> women  33%). Hegave them a months time to coin the statement and have it inscribed on something which would be there for ever. None of the ministers could thing about it. There was the head of the ministers who decided to meet his Swmaiji(this is real swami who practices Sanyasa in true sense in those days)for the answer.

He travelled into the forest to meet this sage and put forward the question asked by the King. The Swami on hearing this gave him a smile and wrote and gave hime the golden phrases which he was looking for. He told the minister to have this inscribed on a golden ring and present it to the King. The minister who was worried on meeting with failure saw those line and immediately his Face lit up. Exactly this is what the King ordered...

Next day the court meeting started and the king asked his ministers with a sense of arrogance and sarcasm if any body was succesful. On seeing silence he start to grin and was saying that people here have put their brains to rest and was laughing on the joke he had just cracked.

Now entered our minister and opened the jewel case and presented to him the Ring with the golden verse on it. The King saw that and immediately his smile stopped. He looked at the minister and praised his efforts for finding the same and also rewarded him. So what was that ?? "This will also Pass" (Eduvum Kadanthu Poogum). Personaly I have found this motivating line very true and his has helped me very much during testing times.  Though simple...very powerful.

Winning your boss

As I was observing on the Process of Appraisals that were going on in my new Organisation, it brought about the subjectivity that is present in the system. The only way to come out in flying colors is, be a pet to your Boss and reap rich dividends. Though the companies claim about the various thought process that has been put forward in designing the appraisal system, it all boils down to the previous line you just read. I know a guy who always came out with the best score possible during the appraisal not because he did a great job but for his attitude to tasks given by his Boss. I do not claim that he is a person who just thrives because of the "pet" tag , though he does pretty decent job. But if you consider his peers who do the same "decent" job, they somehow end up lower than him. WHY ? Again it is how he presents himself to the boss...Watch below some of his action. Never disputes the idea told by the Boss. Can always spot some think good in the Worst of ...

Ghasi - Hollywood Class

Film Ghassi was another film which really is a class apart from the run-of-a-mill movies. The entire film is shot within a Submarine and the plot is the Indo-Pak war under water in 1971. Viewer watch with bated breath as the story takes you through one sequence of attack after another. Its based on real incidents with how the Indian submarine inspite of losing its captain ,still fought valiantly. This is once in a blue moon kind of movie and matches the class of Hollywood mo vies frame by frame. Score: 4.25/5...extra credit for just the plot and the storyline.
