Money and Happiness

Can money brings happiness???

My answer will be a big NO.

If someone says yes, I will ask them only one question. We can see a lot of people around us having 3 bed room house, latest cars, latest mobile, good job, designer ware. Are they really happy. Then why they are thinking for job change, fighting with their life partners,consulting psychologists.

My understanding is:
There is no limit for satisfaction in terms of money. Even millionaire will be always thinking to become billionaire. So satisfy with what you are having. Money will never bring happiness. Every thought for money will make our mind unhappy.
Think about yourself.
Think about friends.
Think about family.
Think about nature.
Think about your capabilities.
These things are really making me happy.

And in my opinion, money & shit both are same.

Mahatma

October 2nd is mahatma gandhi's birthday. "Mahatma" is not his first name. Its a sanskrit word used for calling great people.From my childhood i never heard any other human as Mahatma. It means we don't have such a great human being in recent years.

Why he is being called as Mahatma???

He did war using the weapons peace, non violence & smile.He showed the power of non-violence,smile not only to indians, but for entire world.

One more great thing, i learnt from gandhi is simplicity. Having such a huge popularity, he was living very simple. He is treating all the people in same way.

I definitely like to follow his assets like smile, peace & simplicity.

Babes and Babies

When i am going on the road my eyes will like to see either babes or babies. I feel both gives energy to my mind. I really like babies activities like how they observes autoes & busses, crying for chocolates. I can't say what i like to see from babes, but they are very much attractive with their dress, walking style. Sometimes Their dressing or exposing will be so good, i will forget to see their face also.

I dont have a babe or baby with me. so definitely i will see other's.

Watching the babies will be intresting every time , but sometimes watching the babes will really disturbs. I will feel alone, but the next moment i will feel like i'm lucky for not having a girl friend. No need to spend money for coffee days, shopping, movies.

I have some good memories with my niece 'Sahithi'(one year baby.I will call her BANGARU. It means gold in telugu language).When ever i see any baby on the road i will start remembering my bangaru. What she will be doing now.How she will ask us to take out everyday.How she will cry for chocolates. Everything is a sweet memory for me.

Yesterday i was discussing with my friend AMIT about this post title(Babes and Babies), he came up with a joke. If you aren't careful with the babes, they will give u a baby.

My suggestion to everyone who will read this post is 'Everyday keep watching babes and babies. You will get good relief from your tensions'.

Sumanth weds Usha

The most happening talk in friends circle is about my closest buddy sumanth's marriage.Its on august 1st 2009. It may be just coincidence, But i feel like whole India got independence in august and our sumanth is going to loose independence in august.

Child life >> School life >> college life >> unemployment life >> job life.
I guess he enjoyed all parts of his life.I hope he will enjoy marriage life also in same fashion.

we had a good time with late night parties,lot of whisky,beer,movies bla bla bla.I don't know whether we may get that again after his marriage. Its all depends on miss usha(who is going to be mrs.sumanth in next month).

Basically i don't believe in Indian marriage. I don't know how can two people live together happily for rest of their life.I hope sumanth will change my mind by living happy life with wife and kids for a long time.

Never Ending Blame Game

In the recent days, i observed a major change in my behavior. When ever i fail to do something, i will start thinking to blame some one. Why should i depend on someone and blame someone for the result. First understand what is your responsibility in the work.

The funny thing is people around me also thinking in the same way. My project release got delayed and someone blaming management, someone blaming client, someone blaming developers, someone blaming testers.No one is ready to accept their mistakes.No one want to take responsibility.

I will start thinking in some different way. What are the mistakes i did. How it is affecting the release of my project.What i need to change for this.

Lets make a list of mistakes:

1. Postponing the job: Many times i feel like its a 5 minutes job.Still i am postponing it for tomorrow. And that tomorrow never came to finish these small jobs.
2. Escaping from the challenge: When i got an opportunity to work on a new thing(Its new for me.somebody in my team is expert in that) ,i tried to escape from that challenge.Earlier i was very eager to take challenges.
3. Quick & temporary fixes: Sometimes i am temporarily fixing the bug.It may be quick, but not perfect.If you want to see long term benifits this is not the right approach.Here don't blame the management by telling "They are not giving enough time to fix the bug". Try to explain them the problem and get the time.

If i am working for the management sake, i need to bother about lot of things. I want project to be success.I need to learn new things. I will try to avoid these mistakes and lets see how the things will work.

The manager

I don't have good management skills, but i got a small story in my mind.

There will be a small team, who will get an assignment to vanish a big hill.The hill will contain lot of big stones.By just listening to the requirement, team members will start thinking that

• This is impossible
• Client may be gone mad

But manager wont put any dead lines to members and says to remove each stone per day by one person.Members will feel like removing a stone per day is not a big task and will start working on that.After 30 days when they review their work, they removed half of the hill. With their experience, now they can remove two stones a day. so with in next 15 days they will finish the complete task.

Initially members are not confident on them, but manager have.And for the surprise manager asked 50 days from clients to finish this task.He made it done by members in just 45 days.

This can be happen if manager knows the capabilities of the members and manager knows how to make a big tasks into simple tasks.

I want be like this kind of manager in my life.Don't be afraid by seeing big tasks.Divide them in to small tasks and finish it fast.

Divide and Finish . Definitely its a good idea.

Love is not a responsibility

I don't feel love as a responsibility or duty.Last couple of weeks i'm taking out my mother for temples.She is happy for that.But im really not enjoying that.Every weekend i want to spend time with my mother, so that she wont feel alone or bored.Im doing this for my mother's happiness.I am feeling this as my responsibility.

I don't want the same kind of relationship with my lover/wife(who ever comes into my life first).If im spending some time with someone, there should be some jillll.I feel it when i met my old room mates. I like to play caroms with them. I like to play chess with my friend sumanth. I like to drink with my friends.

But what i want to do with my mother? The answer is A big nothing.When she left me in hostel for my studies, i got a communication gap with my parents.I never tried to recover that gap.may be that is my mistake.

She always feels money and good name in society are important to live. But i never care about society or money.This makes some distance between us.

I hope one day i may realize that she is correct. Or she may understand my intentions and may respect my views.

Journey is sweeter than the Destination

Yesterday i read an interview of Prakash Raj(A good south indian actor).When he looks back to see his career, he find that "His journey makes him happy than the things he achieved".That sentence giving me lot of positive feelings.
If i'm enjoying my journey, no need to bother whether i win or not. Because i enjoyed whole journey.I think i'm following this principle.The work what im doing in the office gives me more happiness than the salary what im getting at the month end.
When i look back to college days: i remember the days when im doing masti with friends,bunking classes,every day eating lunch without paying money, copying in the exams, going to dhabas at late night. I enjoyed 4 years completely.Finally i didn't get good result in the exams(for what i joined college), but who cares. Those are the happy days of my life irrespective of the result.
Will it works fine with everything in life. I hope so. If im enjoying what im doing, i never disappoints for the result.

What i want exactly

I'm in a big confusion right now.I want a girl with me or i want to have sex. I think im not only interested in sex. A lot things i want from girl. i want spend cool time with her in breezy evenings.Want to share the thoughts. I want to print her face in my heart. I want to remember her smile whole life.Forget about whole world, just to think about her whole day.Atleast one day in my life i will dedicate myself to that girl. I think im not that much bad as im thinking.Now im getting something.SEX is very small thing in life when compare to other happiest moments.

All these are just imaginations and expectations.All the above are subject to / may change without my intention i guess.

Lucky Girl

I don't know what a girl wants from the partner,but still my heart says the girl who shares my life will be lucky.

I may not show care about her for whole life.But when i'm really caring for her, i wont care anything/anyone in the world.

I cannot give a surprise gift everyday, but she will never forget the first gift i'm going to give her with love.

Where is SHE

Everyday when i wake up in the morning, i feel like to hug her.Kiss her on the forehead. But where is SHE and who is SHE
