Thoughts...

Above all, be yourself. If someone has a problem with that, well, that's their problem

Maybe U R not one of them...

Disclaimer: The following post is truly based on personal experiences and experience of friends, relatives and some are Googled. Any similarity found with anyone or if this reminds you of any person it is purely not coincidental.
           In an office or at any public place you find lots of people, the character one exhibits is not same as the other. I am sure You can find atleast one with the below said characters.



 *People who act as if they are working hard, they act as if they are the one who does everything under the sun and all others are simply lamenting their time.

   *You wish someone, they just show their ass at you since they are very busy


*Then comes the other sect they start talking and would never stop, never allows you to do your job.



*People smiling at the computer screens, could'nt figure out why.


*Then comes the person who knows how to get the work out of you. He/She knows what things ought to be told so that you finish your work on time.



*People who are always on the phone and particularly talking loudly, chatting or sending sms


*The pet of the management thing. They are mostly the safe playing people, but their backbones are bend.



*You work hard, put in all your effort and get a good result from the client, the credit goes to the one above you. Try making a mistake and you will know that you'd become famous in the whole office.


*Complaining people. They complain about everything, everything under the sun.


* You accept a friend request of someone since u had said 'hi' a week ago, and they start sending you their gamer invites and updates.

* The Managers who over manage and treat us like KG kids, complaining about the noise there, your dress code and all stuff.

*Gossips. You can find commentators, they sit in group and gossip mainly about the newcomers, poking their nose in everything. The very first place of gossiping is near the water cooler.



*You work hard to finish your target and the person there blames you dont have the time management skill, better ask them to think before they overload you or you stand up for yourselves.


*Someone suddenly takes off and what happens, the work load is being put on you, whether you could do it or not is not of concern. You will be working 16 hours literally.



*Spies. These are typical specimens you can find. They make sure they bring out every little thing.


*People who really don't know the work but rather showoff as if they know things.

                                  There are always people who say, if u r not well take rest, I'll help you in your work. U could even put up extra time for them. If you think anything else is missing please do remind me. (Most of the pics used here are from Google images and I did do a little alteration to certain ones such that it matches the text.)

Who moved my Cheese

This is one other books that I like, but a little bit would be boring. I like a quote or a poem oops don't know what to name dat, maybe extract would do. Below is the extract, I had it jotted down on the back of my diary and I do feel like including this in the blog too.

"Life Is No Straight and Every Corridor Along Which We Travel Isnt Free And UnHampered,
But Is a Maze Of Passages, Through Which We Must Seek Our Way, Lost And Confused, Now And Again Checked In A Blind Alley.
But Always, If We Have Faith, God Will Open A Door For Us, Not Perhaps One That We Ourselves Would Ever Have Thought Of, But One That Will Ultimately Prove Good For Us"

Chicken Soup for the Soul

"Chicken Soup for the Soul" is one of my favourite books. I first spotted it out in my college library, this was there at the corner of the reference section (so u did understand, I used to spend much of my time at the library or at the canteen or inside the campus garden rather than in my classroom. Dont ever let my father know about this, he's gonna kick me for sure). The title attracted me, looked at the Authors name, was new to me coz I'm not much into reading. Opened the book and read the first story (this is my nature, either go for the prologue or the first two lines and then decide if the book would be interesting), the first story itself was interesting and if my memory is right it was about a Grandpa who gave the red roses he bought for his wife to a girl on the bus.
So i took this book out, the advantage of taking a book from the reference section is that you can keep for a week, the other section itz only for three days. It was a friday dat I took this book and got two days. I read, read and read, some stories twice which were so heart touching. I was then proud that I'm surrounded by such loving parents, friends, God has blessed me, true. This does'nt mean I did not realize this earlier, but after reading this book, it doubled.

Online Scams

I was working until last August and then got married and now at UAE, so I did resign my job at my hometown. The starting days kept me busy as I had been at hostels so the house works took me a lot much of my time and kept me engaged. Later on there was a lot of spare time and the only thing done by me was sleeping.


Look at the trap here and it is true!!!!!

This was routine and so to keep myself engaged I did apply for online jobs. For the first few weeks there was no response and my husband had warned me of the online scams, and one morning received this mail.

I was all excited and told my husband, he said "if u r interested apply". I was all happy and started typing my reply when my husband told me "check this company details on Google" and I did. Do u know what came across. I did get this blog about scams and the very first was the mail I received. " http://scamfraudalert.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/delt-group-ltd-jobdelt-group-com/" this was the site.

Do u think I would have ever applied after that.
