be always happy!!

Sometimes in life u feel so blue,
But someone somewher is not happy as u.
Somewhere far at the border when a soldier sleeps,
Missing his loved ones he silently weeps.
Somewhere a mother painfully sighs,
Coz her new born baby didnt open his eyes.
Somewher a poor dad silently cries,
When he sees his son begging for a bowl of rice.
Somewhere in an orphanage a little girl is sad,
When she misses her mon n dad.
So at times a season to smile you may not have any,
Say to urself that u are happier than many.
Coz life is beautiful and its not always blue.....
As someone somewhere is not happy as you.....!!!
Take care all of u!
Miss u all!

Convocation for 2k3 Batch at NERIST

It seems we are really lucky as convocation for our batch is scheduled on 2nd August 2010.

And guess what, the chief guest would be none other than Dr. A. P. J. Kalam.

So friends plan accordingly and make sure that you be there.:-)

see you all there.:-)

Dancing when you are Home Alone !!

Get your groove on strong.

Yes, lock that door, shutter those blinds, and crank that bumping thumping music, Dost. Because it’s time to get down with the get down:

• The Microphone. Big Spoons are ideal but there are good substitutes like toothbrushes, combs, or even a bulky plastic hair dryer. Just don’t trip on the cord.

• The Crowd. It’s all about mirrors. Nod and let them nod right back at you. Watch them mouth the words and raise their fists with yours. What a beautiful audience.

• The Critics. There are none! This is the best part. Nobody says you’re singing out of key so just wail till you can’t wail no more. For bonus points get your voice so loud and wild it scratches the back of your throat.

• The Wardrobe. You’ve got a few costume options including the classic ripped raggedy T-shirt and pair of faded sweats. There’s also only, or even, well… you know. Relax, you look great. Time to rock out.

Yes, we’ve all been home alone and sometimes it’s fun to lose yourself in the moment.

After all, maybe you’re hanging with a heavy heart, burning with a hot temper, or just snowed in after a bad day. If there’s a black cloud hanging ugly over your head there’s no cheaper cure than having a solo dance party in the comfort of your place.

Some come on and turn it on, crank it up, and just get into the world of being……

AWESOME!

This one is interesting !!

Slow Down Culture: There is a smart change around the world,the way we work !!

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience.

Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.
Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results.
Therefore, we have come to possess a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.

Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil
2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.
3. Stockholm has 500,000 people.
4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned companies. Volvo supplies the NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, 'Do you have a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.' To which he replied, 'Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think?...... ......... ........Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of 'hurry' and 'craziness' generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of 'having in quantity'(life status) versus 'having with quality', 'life quality' or the 'quality of being'. French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%...This slow attitude has brought forth the US’s attention, pupils of the fast and the 'do it now!'

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the 'now', present and concrete, versus the 'global', undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do. It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit. In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where the blind Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now'. To which Al responds, 'A life is lived in an instant'. Then they dance to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John Lennon said, 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans'

Some more views of Infosys Mysore Campus

Hey all, enjoy some more pictures !

Wat it means being a single??

I have been in a relationship for more than a year.There were times when i felt it's all over and there were times,when i felt it doesn't exist.Notwithstanding,i had been and i am in a relationship...
The greatest loss that one incurs in the process is losing one way you have learnt to live life,the one way you have learnt to love yourself,the one way you saw and enjoyed your existence.
And by that i mean nothing but being single..... Hoards of literature have been written in the honour of the feeling we call love...poets and people have died, drenched and drunk in alcohol, yet with romance on their lips,in their eyes and in their heart...
I was just wondering why did nobody single ever romanced himself,his secluded yet accomplished life,his freedom and what not...
And then it clicked to me..that it's beautiful to be falling in love but being in a relationship is more than just being in love.While some may find these added frills enchanting..some actually breaks under it.Once fallen,it has been the inability to cope up,to accept that 'being in love' hasn't been the best of the things to have happened, brought the best of the literatures in the world.
Trust me....while there's nothing like being in love.....there's nothing like single too...I wish i could just be single for once,so that i could remember the good old days,get a taste of old times.Nevertheless, i could not think of falling out of love,could not dare dream a life without that beautiful feeling..life is contraries of short where you don't really have the liberty of having everything....
I miss being single,i miss being unpurposefully independent,i miss being crazy,i miss being a joker...In short..i miss being single.but i am happy being in love too..

Hi...after a long time....
all the blog members knows a lot about infy..thanks to saurav ...so i'll not be saying any more to get u guys bored....
Just want to say that though the training is a bit hard..this is the best place to study ...nowhere else u'll get money to study...and nowhere else u'll get all the facilities that they provide here....I dont want to get out of here...but after training we have to go...if by my great luck i m not kicked out of here before the training ends....

Hey guys..now its the time when we have got our own money and we dont need to ask anyone before spending it..so why not spend in a gud way...Ya..we can buy the clothes,the gadgets which we want without the interference of our parent...but we can donate some money for some other caouse also..like to some ngo,some social organisation acting in the area where we are and at least we can give 2 coins to the beggar on the road..now we dont have to think that its our parents' money...
So we may spend a small part of our money to this cause..and i think we should do this....
I feel that what i earn by sitting in a ac room is much much more than a labour's earning for the month...we cant help the poor and underprivileged directly..but indirectly we can.....
So m going to donate in an ngo which is recently visiting our campus....n if you people get a chance please donate....
It may make someone's day very gud.....
Have a nice day......miss the nerist days yaar...

Rules for Employees in an IT company...

EMPLOYEE RULES:

 

Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.   If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.  If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore do not need a raise.  If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore do not need a raise.  

Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday and Sunday.

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of the three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy ! You are allowed to use the rest room only thrice a day and you have to swipe in and out from the toilet doors also.

Lunch Break  
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.  Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal tomaintain their average figure.   Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a slim fast.  

Thank you for your loyalty to our company.

We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments,concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.
The Management.

Food Shortage : Brilliant One

A World wide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:

 

 

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

 

 

The survey was a huge failure, In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant, In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant, In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant, In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant, In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant, In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant, And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant!
