Middle ages, a time of human history where conflicts, wars, big or small spread all across the globe. there are many reasons for this wars, some are fight against external forces, some are fight within the people of same group, some for power and some for money. but one particular wars which overshadowed remaining is the "Holy Crusades" or "Jihad", whatever you name it!! there are very few moments in my life when I felt ashamed of being a human, and one such moment is when I came to know about crusades. people of two religions killed each other like wild animals and the worst part is that the heads of the two religions endorsed them saying that they will reach "Zenith" if they do so!! now again after some centuries, we are standing at a similar juncture but this time in a different part of the world. I went through the report prepared by the time magazine about the making of "Mumbai 26/11". In that report the authors mentioned that whoever traine...

A must for everyone of us!!! In ancient Greece , Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?" "Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test." "Triple filter?" "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test." "The first filter is TRUTH. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..." 'All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the se...

its more than a month since we performed a mime in the office new year function. its about making people aware about their duties. All the people in our AR&D group have participated and performed to the best of their abilities. Many in the office have given us +ve feedback about it. I was not bothered about whether people like it or not but this will be a real cherish-able moment for me in SMS. I want to make a record of this activity in my blog so adding the real video and the video taken during our practice. I thank the team(director specially) for buying my ideas and implementing them in the mime.

firstly lets spend some time to read the story below: I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: '' Uncle , are you sure I don't have enough money?'' I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the dolll, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much .Iwanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to ...

it was on the auspicious day of Sankranti I had my appraisal discussion. In the discussion I came to know that i got promoted as a consultant and my rating was much beyond my expectation. (more explicit information will be a breach of corporate code of conduct). Now, I was very happy informed the news to many of my well wishers and started dreaming about the mobile i will buy in Feb, some X i will do in April, another Y i will do in June etc. Then next week I went to Hyderabad and came back to office along with some Karachi sweets. but the news awaiting me was no sweet!! As soon as i entered the office my mgr informed me that there is going to be no increment this year!!! and even worst part is even promotion hike is not given!! I was telling to ppl that my company is working well and there is no problem for me what so ever! but recession has hit me directly right in between my two eyes. Now, here i stand with a promotion in hand and a empty pocket looking at the coming appraisal seas...

Instead of forwading this info as mails, i thought this is a better way! My prayers are there for all those people

people everywhere are talking about the recession in US, Europe and India. God knows how all that crap happened, all I know is i'm very much frustrated for a week or so! In the 18months of work life never was I faced this kind of situation. Some times I get a doubt that am I giving too much importance to things which dont deserve my attention, I dont know what!! but hardly any of efforts have given results. that is precisely the reason why I'm feeling like this. but should I continue to be in this yalk?? CERTAINLY NOT!!! but how am I going to do that? only by mere declaration to myself!!! only by making a promise to myself!!! these kind of problems add value to me and I grow many leaps as a human being. For the last six months or so I'm feeling very much disturbed. people in the office could very much feel that. In fact last week, my manager told me that I need a leave and asked me to take once I complete this project. but i never knew that this project will have this many...
