Experience Uncertainty !!
As soon as I reached office today,the news of Washington Mutual being sold out to JP Morgan Chase made me dumbstruck/flabbergasted, as I had been working for Wamu since a very long time…I was part of the Wamu Offshore team and had been contributing to the development of the bank,in one or the other way…Though we were not directly involved,this news definitely posed a question to our future assignments..This was least expected..that too with such a big concern…May be this is what they mean by "Experience Uncertainty".When we experience uncertainty or when we are not sure of the consequences in life, either personal or professional, we usually tend to procrastinate(delaying things not knowing what is going to happen next).I was in a perplexed state for quite some time,until I finally made up my mind to face life as it comes,rather than letting such problems eat my mind...In other words, at the moment that you think that the best plan of action might be to walk away, "JUST GET STARTED".

Modern Technology Owes Ecology an Apology
With the rise in the number of IT firms,large amount of space is being grabbed by IT Giants for creating their workspace with all possible amenities for their employees(Swimming pools,gym,clubs etc).They are forgetting the fact that this action of theirs is affecting the ecosystem in a lotta ways.The climate is getting hotter day by day,the trees are being cut,the amount of rain has considerably reduced,the Arctic is changing before our eyes,it is warming faster than expected than the rest of the globe and what not...the companies have now kicked off with Cost cutting too to reduce the usage of paper,pen,notepads and so on...It's the duty of every individual to own responsibility for the damages caused to the ecosystem and perform activites that nurture the environment...such as following the "Go Green" mantra and planting as many saplings as possible and saving water.If things are goin at such a high pace,where is the world goin to be?If at all we had understood the importance of the environment and the factors influencing them,we could have delayed this, atleast to some extent and given our children and the future generations a better & healthy place to live in...
"Heal the World
Make it a better place
For u and for me ..."

Six Sigma
For aspiring professionals who wish to take a Certification, here is one…
Six Sigma like TQM(Total Quality Management) is a process of implementing a business strategy to achieve profitability, while the latter concentrates on Process Improvement to achieve Customer satisfaction. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities(DPMO).Based on the expertise level, we have many roles/Certifications like Green Belt, Black Belt, Master Black Belt and Champions. I am planning to become a Six Sigma GB Certified professional soon.

Empower the Disadvantaged
Sukrupa is a community that helps underpriviledged slum children to escape a background of poverty,illiteracy and ignorance and replace it with as good a future prospect as any mainstream child's.They prepare products like candles,photo frames,paintings and sell them.The paintings are made by the children themselves.The money they get by selling these are used for the purpose of educating the kids.Our company is one which offers good support for such organisations that extend their help to people in need.Some days back,we had a fair organised at our campus by the kids of Sukrupa where they had exhibited lots of things for sale.We bought candles and paintings to encourage and support them.We could see the innocent smile on their faces as we bought those stuff from them.By the end of the day,it made us feel that we have made a valuable contribution to the organisation by buying their products.It may be a small thing for us,but it's definitely gonna make a huge difference in their lives.So whenever and wherever possible,try to spend money for such good cause rather than wasting on something that is of least importance.A kind & thoughtful act,how big or small can be of immense help.

Home Or Weekend Spot?
In today's busy world,people working almost 24/7,life has become so hectic and difficult that we can't even spare a day for the family.With moms working from morning till evening and Dads staying out-of-station for most of the time,the kids have no other option than to spend their time with the maid or other family members. Life has become so mechanical in recent years,waking up with monday morning blues,starting off to work travelling hundreds of kilometers,with only books being their sole companion,staying away from the rest of the family for almost 5 days a week and coming back home for weekends...It makes me feel as if the house is no more a home but has become a weekend spot for such workaholics. It makes me remember a poem that i had learnt in my school days
"In this life, full of care,there is no time to stand and stare"
Oh,how true it is!! It took me 15 years to understand the true meaning of this... Home,once filled with love,care and warmth has now turned out to be a weekend spot...What a pity !!!
