With the kind of person I am, I don't know what a plan means to outside world. As I always was on a back foot in case of planning and scheduling or perhaps you can say in a better sense something like prioritizing things, there is no wonder my life was full of adjustments and compromises.
When I go back in my childhood, I found myself surrounded with lots of expectations, much of it dealt with behavior and academics. I did well but when I see it from here it looks I lost my childhood doing nothing, probably I should not think like that. But the reason I think like this is because I was always in a comfortable zone with my family and friends around. I never thought even a single second that I am going to be alone one day like everyone. The word "alone" means feeling yourself in a different frequency which is easy to tune with others but still you will feel its different as there is no echo. In most of childhood years, I was with my little brother. He is nice to me always and I love him as he is very near to my heart and soul. You see, he is none other than my brother. We almost share same kind of voice but now he is taller than me. He has a taste and he is all set for a good carrier. He also sounds as if he has a plan for his life.
Being an elder brother is a huge responsibility because I was his natural trainer in almost every aspect of life. I was his close friend, but as we mature things change and he has a new friend circle and so as I. My friendship to him has taken a shape of responsibility. I care about him but the age in which he is now demands freedom. I abide by this. In terms of a son and as a elder brother I feel things went as they should have gone and I am happy for it. It did not require much of the planning and scheduling in terms of life. Things planned themselves.
Now coming to center of the topic, when I started living alone, I noticed a lot about my mind and my behavior which I found was not very different from other people except I was different for a many people, something like a "crazy mind" or a "lost and confused electron with high energy". But things started changing as I worked in a MNC. The friends of office were very different from the friends of school and colleges. May be because office was not meant for friendship, it was meant for team-ship. It took me some time to understand this difference. I realized it soon and tried to analyze it deeply as I was living alone and I had thus plentiful of time to understand people and analyze about their behavior and their mind uniqueness. Friends from school and colleges still mingle as they were before but all of them have changed or adjusted in the bigger school or college which we see outside our usual college/school. They all are good and living their life untouched. I don't know why I use "untouched", probably I can not touch them inside their mind.:) No matter how, if i ever planned for something, I only panned my studies for exams in schools and colleges and it was natural. I think everyone was forced to plan during those days. I don't count it as planning.
Anyways, planning and scheduling is not my job till now. Seniors used to plan about the job and the work used to come as scheduled. I was getting my job as assigned and I was doing it. I was happy. Slowly, I saw people jumping one company to another and from top it looked like an unstable bunch of electrons trying to search stability. Suddenly, I felt as if I am also not in a stable condition and that triggered an alarm. Now, I have realized the may I did not plan for this.
Making a perfect plan is not easy and experience comes handy in this case. Working out on that plan needs proper scheduling. Their are examples available for the different patterns for different kinds of planning. But they lead to same results in almost every case. Using right pattern is key as there are so many solutions for a particular situation. This is the same rule which applies in designing a application in software industry. The architect is most reputed guy in software industry because he plans the actual thing that has to be worked out. To reach a role of architect, if you see, it takes lot of effort and in actual terms he is the most intelligent guy around. He knows the base and limitations very well of everything involved.
Being an architect of your own self is the biggest task of one's life. Planning and scheduling may be one of the vital part of this role. Sticking to that plan is a manager's role. Managing time and experience is another important thing. This role says that their is no limit and drives us to reach our best potential for the plan that the architect made. Life is nothing but a set of patterns already waiting for you. You just need to get with the right skills there. Everyone goes through these patterns in their life for sure but they use/follow/ship through it in a different way.
Today, the whole world seems to have a plan for them except me. If I have one, I know deep inside me that I am not going to follow it because I don't have the reasons. People may say these reasons as motivation but I think there is always a reason behind existence of everything whether it is a motivation or desire. It is not true that I don't have desires, I have, but, I don't have reasons. If I have one now, that is not for me, although I am going to be involved.
I feel deep inside that if I have a reason to do something, I will do it. If that reason affects me only I will do it for sure. If that affects my family I have to do it. If that affect whole world except me, I will try to do it. If that affects nobody, I will only dream about it and will leave it as it is. I may sound wrong here in my approach. Now let's reverse it out and try to correct it.If the reason affects nobody, it should not be dream t at all. It's waste of my time and dreams. If it affects whole world in a good sense, I will do it for sure. If it affects my family, i will do it. If it affects me only, I will neglect it. Thus, there is no question of "I" here. There is nothing which can affect me except my meanness. Thus, whatever I have to plan there should be something for somebody else also. This makes things simple to plan and schedule.
To be more clear and precise in my planning, the people I know closely are my family and rest who are unknown are world for me. There is no existence of me. I am just a thought. Now when I plan for something, I need a real reason behind it, which should have something for others always. That makes sense. Now when I schedule the time for this plan, I have to seek others co operation. All my work should have a single goal "Growth". Isn't it?
Although, I am not clear about what "growth" will actually mean for this world but I will try to find it. One thing for sure is that, this growth should increase humanity and co operation. How I am going to contribute is the way I have to find? This is what I need to plan and work it out. The next thing what will be scale of my contribution. If I say a very large scale then, I will have to leave a lot of things behind and say good bye to many of my personal feeling which affects directly me. Now, as I have declared myself nothing but a thought, so there is no impact for me. I will try to maximize this scale of my impact.
As now it is clear what would be the scale and direction (which are too big for a thought like me). I have to start planning which no doubt is the most admirable job in this universe. the scheduling is the next big thing and needs commitment to deliver it on time. But as I said if you have a strong reason you will do it, so am I. But, one thing that I have to always realize and keep in mind is that I am just a thought. :) .
The one character which always gets into my mind was "Joker's" character in the movie called Dark Knight. They showed him like a perfect planner, although he was for wrong reasons but I find it very good example here to illustrate my point.

TOPIC
This is going to be new experiment of my life. I have started writing my book named "TOPIC". This book will solve many puzzles of day to day life. I have kept a deadline of 3 years to complete it.
To complete this work I have decided to cut my time on orkut (www) and entertainment. I have literally decided to keep my maximum time for this work of mine. It will be taking most of my time. I hope I will continue writing my experiences on my blogs but it would be less frequent. I have already wrote few pages of my book but I will be counting my days from Jan1st, 2010.
The reason I named it as TOPIC is that I am not sure about the topic itself as I am covering almost everything in it but in my journey for next three years,for sure, this TOPIC will discover a better name or road for itself otherwise it will be the same.

Lessons of professional life
When I look back, I remember few of the incidents from my professional carrier which made an impact on my brain. I will not tell any names here and I do not have any personal feelings or problems with them. They all are good people and they all deserve a great deal of rewards for their work.
I remeber my first TL. Whenever I went to him for any help his answer was same "What? If I will solve this then for what purpose you have been hired?" Whenever I went with some solution, he said " What? I can not send this to client". I used to call him sir and he was against it as once he said " What is this sir-sir? Call by my name." But he used to call his PM as Sirji to give him respect. First time in my life I saw a man with no values for his own words. He used to use words like quality, customer and client and makes such sentences in terms of questions that were unanswerable. He used to divide all the works among his team and himself used to learn Chinese, swiming, and was attending certification program from the company. He was more like a king that a TL.There is no doubt I did n't like him. Not only me but everyone in the team seems to be against him. Although, everybody was sweet to him except me. But he taught me first lesson of my life"It is your battle and you have to fight alone". I am thankful to him as he made me self dependent. He is now married and he still rememebers me.
There was a girl, she is still my good friend. I have never seen such potentials and firm mindedness in my carrier like her. She was straight and very intelligent. First day itself I was impressed with her voice, smile, mind and beauty. She was a complete talent package. She had ambitions and she was in sync with those ambitions. I wanted to win her trust so that she can be my friend for ever. In my life first time I felt so motivated that I gave her flowers picking from no where else but from the office reception. Her suggestion were always perfect and her timing was perfect. I tried to win her heart but I failed. I don't regret it as I think she deserved/deserves a better person than me. Once she told me "Don't behave like kids, this is professional world and you should keep your personal life always away from the professional life. I need my personal life out of this and I suggest you the same." This was my second lesson and I am thankful to her and I am going to follow this till my last working days.
Third lesson was from my first manager. I wrote a mail to my TL explaining him that my computer is not in good condition and I may not perform well in comparison to others but in that mail I sounded like an emotinal idiot. In a one to one meeting my manager told me "from my 9+ years of professional life I have learnt something and I am going to tell you what I have learnt--Don't be emotional about anything in this professional world. Save your ass." This words went and strike my brain nerves like thunder. I thank him for this lesson.
The forth lesson came just few days back when I was released from my account and was called back for a one to one meeting. I was surprised to know my PL has given me ratings and my manager is going to have a discussion for it and his manager is also joining the meeting. Since, it was supposed to be an one to one meeting and I firmly said I don't want anybody except my manager. My manager on files came and had a discussion with me. She clearly said that I have not given you rating, its your PL. I told her that my rating are good and I am thankful but I don't see these rating going into action. I also told her that I was told that I am going to be promoted. She gave me forth lesson my professional life " In this world, people say many things but you should not trust them utill it comes in paper or written".
I know things will keep changing. I am listing these experieces here so that I do not forget these lessons of my professional life. I do things from my heart and I usually go by my instinct. The professional world is an other world which is ruled by words - clients, economy, revenues, profit and there is a internal office politics. The people I met where so professional in their attitude that I almost lost faith in my company, friendship and team spirit. They were trying to send a message that co operate with everyone but they themselves where not co opertaing.
What I learnt from these incidents is simple -- this is a world where mind rules. You have to get that work done by hook or by crook. Man is a social animal but we are not at social work. This is professional work where intelligence rules with the help of skills. If you can not get it find it somewhere else where it exists but do not make noise.

Christmas Day
Today is Christmas Day. Everyone is supposed to be happy. I am also trying to make my self happy. But how? I can make others happy but not myself. There are few thoughts which are disturbing me. I am comparing my growth with others who joined the company with me and since I am no where closer to them it has started giving me a sense of discomfort as all of them got promoted except me. But am I supposed to think like that? Is that right? Few of my friends have made remarkable progress and they are now far ahead than me interms of salary as well as in terms of position. I think everyone compares himself with their friends or people they know. I can not find a single person who means what he says as they speak that they don't care these things. As per my understanding whatever we feel makes a print in our circuitry of brains and when we try to say something we want to create a impression on the others or circumstances that we don't care but in the background we do care.
Now, as I know what it means to be compared and feel sad. I today, promise myself that I am not going to compare my self with my colleagues or fiends for my entire life because it hurts deep inside my thinking process and makes gliches in my circuitry. I don't care anymore about those appraisal ratings which are just for the sake of some process and I Saurabh Kumar, promise myself that I will create my own way and I will not let anybody to compare me with anyone else. There is no limits for oppurtunities and there is no one who can play my God Father or mentor in this world. This means I have to take charge myself. Now, I will not let anyone take my charge or mentorship. I am not going to ask anyone for any favors or what I need or what I expect. No more promotion halla gulla, no cries for salary hikes. Now, onwards I will take my own decisions for everything. I will try my level best not to hurt anyone feelings and make everyone around me happy.
In one corner of my brain I feel as if I am sounding emotional and stupid or like a lost warrior or like frustrated professional but the truth is that I am making a commitment today to myself and till the time I exist, I will adhere to it. The reason why I am writing this because I should remember this moment to filter any such thoughts in future which is going to disturb me.
From today if I exists, it is because I am existing. Let the whole world play against or with me, I Saurabh Kumar will develop so many wings that I will not let my mind ever think of any kind of comparison. I wish Merry Christmas!! and prays to this world and mother Nature to help in my travel in this life without any friction. But if any friction comes I will make that path frictionless. I am going to assume that God is with me and whole world is against me from Day1. From day2, my aim is to win the confidence of this world on daily basis and make them come to my side.

American Dream
In my days, in America, I am thinking of why this country has made such a progress and how is it able to sustain this progress. What can be its agenda and future?Instead of what this nation thinks and will do, it would be useful to learn from its experience with the world and technology.
Many people whom I met in America were workohlic and they were above 35-40. They have all energy and resources in place to utilize. A simple life in US is very easy to live and that simple life is 10 times better in terms of facilities in India. There is no doubt why those people in India who have migrated or have some link to US have also made a good progress. But US should not be destination to Indians; it should be place of learning. We should learn the good qualities of US and try to implement them in desi version.
What I like most about US is the control it has over law and order. It has a strong intelligence with tremendous power. They maintain data is an excellent manner and no body can enter and go out without being noticed out of those high quality dtabase management programs. Also, the common people have always a sense of responsibility to their environment and country. Although, it is much bigger and is actually huge in area, it is well managed. The infrastructure has been developed keeping an eye on future requirements. The reason of this progress can be that ...they have not much of history of their own and what they have is actually a refined experience from the whole world. They are too flexible to adopt a new improvement.
Although, they are consumer country and they have taught world most of the management rules to maintain quality and price but they are too much dependent on technology. They have an advantage with English language and have high demand currency with great technonlogies in place to kep it at top. I feel things are big here and very well arranged becuase in the background there are large number of Indians and Chinese working for all these American companies day and night. We do not have such advantage. The simple example I can give is that Americans are using Indians and Chinese brains to work for them during their off hours. They are utilizing the day time of India for their progress. This give them time advantage over whole world. Their companies are working 24 hours all around the globe. This is reason of progess of both sides in recent years. We have also achieved a lot and I am thankful to this country from bottom of my heart but we do not have such advantage.
The only thing they lack is Sprituality as they are too scientific in their approach. They have a proffesional approach for almost everything. Everyone want to be financially independent here and travelling is easy and part of life. The reality lies in its strong force and its constitution. The things which we can learn from them is their experience with these technologies as we have already sprituality in place. The place where technology can marry religion is India and that's the reason I want to live in India where technology has a not entered so deep in life.

Real Vs Virtual
It has been always difficult to live virtual and dream real. When you open eyes it seems everything is real. When closed everything is virtual; an image.
Although, it is always a difficult concept to grasp and understand just like concept of Virtual Memory but it works and is most liked. Real friendships, real relations and real feelings needs true emotions. If you are truthful always.... it hurts everyone directly in most of the cases. Hence, people put a cover and represent things in a presentable manner. It can happen like, if you did not like anything this means it might be too real and very less virtual. The hard truth is -- truth always wins but its "virtual" which is always liked and dreamed.
Thus, what it means that.. if you want to win the last days of your life, you would go for real things and real emotion and feelings or you would want everyone around you to be truthful and attentive but what you will get... will be a real image of your own virtual self.
The moral of the story is --if you are virtual to others...don't expect reality. That's it. Virtual wins virtual only. Thus, what you need is a reality check...and how you would know if that is real....it's simple..you will not like it. Ha ha..

The idea of happiness and fun
Imagine yourself in hotel room with all facilities at your door. Now, suppose you are alone there and it is snowing outside. How would you feel? Happy...funny....what?
You know whole idea of fun and happiness is with some other person who is near you.....for example it was snowing outside from past 6 hours yesterday......last time I felt too excited but not this time.. Any guess? Simple...I am alone.
You feel happy when your family feels it that way. You feel happy when your friends feel the same. You feel happy when people near you feel the same. There is no world if you are alone. Happiness can be felt only when shared otherwise it is just a thought. It is most important lesson that we should practice. Life is very simple and full of happiness and fun if you have somebody to share every moment together. This is the whole idea why we celebrate some occasions, some festivals, some incident..whatever..the whole idea is to make ourselves happy and be together.

This is the whole idea why we celebrate some occasions, some festivals, some incident..whatever..the whole idea is to make ourselves happy and be together.

Choices in Herndon
I am in a hotel room in Herndon, Virginia for an official assignment. It is snowing outside. The TV is ON and Tom Cruise is saving America. Please note this is weekend and I am witnessing the first snowfall of the season live from my window.
In this time of solitude, I have only one companion my chutki laptop. I was watching new released movie De Dana Dan when my internet stopped working. Well, I got to know why? Video streaming is not allowed in Hotel. Nice to know.
Morning started with milk,bread, egg,Orange Juice, potato chips and coke. Then lunch was also same. I thought of cooking but my laziness won over hunger. Anyways, I talked to few friends and home which killed bit of my time.
Killing time?Am I doing the right thing? What is right for me? AAH! this question haunts me always. Anyways, I know what to do. It is just two words and its "Reading + Writing". Simple, but believe me it is not me who made this choice, the truth is that I am not left with any other choice.
