Today office time was rewarding, had a meeting with a 3 member team from Wipro Tech..so the gr8 news is that unlike most projects my summer project is going to be implemented !!! And the implmentation was kicked off today with this meeting... apart from business, the meeting saw a lot of philosophical stuff form my boss....
"Nature has not given us the ability to express joy, happiness and sense of achievement in words....this is because u must urself experience joy and never should be able to surrogately 'feel' it from others. Indian religion has realised the need for expression long ago and hence we have so many gods and goddesses signifying feeling of achieving 'wealth', 'knowledge', 'power' etc... " The essence of all this talk was that even in software and business application design all companies must have to undergo a pilot phase, a chaos type growth and then a structurisation; no shortcuts are possible. This however went against the well accepted management concept of 'best practices'.
While I was listening to all this at the back of my mind a different plot was reeling. This was the plot of life - everyone has to build his own life. Though you can try to learn from other's mistakes but you are yourself bound to make mistakes too(though not same as others').
More so, the harder the struggle the sweeter is the reward....have had enough failures in life to testify the above....
To end...today life seemed to reach at a shore... a project at the corporate level.... quite a significant one.. and its going to be implemented .... my sweat of the past 2 months is tasting pretty sweet....

ReplyDeleteon a lighter note, a sidduism-
"experience is the comb that life gives u when u r bald"
