Learning from uncle


My office has an uncle, very ethusiastic, polite and humble. He does carpentry works, drives to customers for deliveries, helps in driving to other places, makes jigs & fixtures for me and makes metal or fibre casings for me. Whatever we say him, he makes a miracle about his commitment and unexpected delivery speed.

Last week, i just told him i need a white board and gave him the size, he worked on sunday, purchased a board, alterned them as like what things i wanted, hung it in my place like how i wanted and even placed the duster. He made a supprise monday for me and iam happy to use my board and by now, its already full of notes.

The commitment and involvement with great speed is highly appreciated and is what we need to learn.

To let you know him, he is a 'Taichi' master, and to your supprise he is aged 72 years and does great work at everything. To supprise you more, he the father of my super-boss, he owns a $10 million home and is a multi-millionaire..

Strong character is the foundation of richness...Juz thought to share with you all..

Understanding astrology to know wife or wifes :)


Its always interesting to learn new things. And i always facinate to know new stuffs. And lucky today i had a chance to learn some fundas of astrological table. There are two table with 12 boxes each, RASI and NAVAMSAM.
There are 12 rasi, and starting from top left and in clockwise direction:
(1) Meenam
(2) Mesham
(3) Rishbam
(4) Mithunam
(5) Kadakam
(6) Simham
(7) Kanni
(8) Thulam
(9) Viruchigam
(10) Dhanusu
(11) Makaram
(12) Kumbam
The nine planets takes position among these houses (boxes /rasi). So there are nine (9) planets and a 10th element called 'lagnam', which is the reference point.
From lagnam, in clockwise, we can count in clockwise the places.
Just to brief:
1st place is for artist skills and personnel ability, personality and beauty.
2nd place i think power, should refer again
3rd place refers to the understanding of relations like brother, sister and characteristics
4th place refers to education and mother
5th place for children
6th place dun know yet
7th place is for life partner
And every planet looking at its 7th position has large effect..
Also there are factors of house ownership. Each box can have only 1 owner and they are defined. However i could not put it here now.
Well, to my supprise, my 'lagnam' is in venus and venus is looking at Dhanusu in 7th place, means i gonna have a very pretty wife..... woooohhhaaaaaaaa....

So much conservative..

Ranju happened to talk with me this morning. I understand she had be waiting long to make a nice occassion with suresh. This fellow among his occupiedness somehow forgetting to call this girl and talk with her. He has started to disappointment girls, this is going to be very dangerous to get back hammered.. keke..
I juz wish she becomes very understanding that he had to give more time for his closer and much awaiting circles and would definitely return to his steady-state by this evening, probably after he sees vibhu.
I know you both are going to make it a great sunday and have fun.

superstar confidence!!

Somehow superstar(kto7) is so much confident on girls and strongly believes they hav the largest love for the men they love. All the sweet talking and big promises a women makes is very much temperory and on a large scale for some self-fish personal reason.
And when they decided to change for something stupid, you wont know that they can find a 1000 excuses and they would stand to justify all those stupid 1000 excuses as strong reasons.
Guys never released one thing, girls find 100 reasons to break-off, i have not seen any 1 single girl, who can give 1 simple reason, to make a true bond and continue to live a good pattern of life.
Anyway, he has possed a challenge and has asked me to record his confidence on a girl.
Well, i would just wait and see what should be happening after 2 and 1/2 years. If he was right, i should be the happiest person, for he got to settle with a most appropriate and true love, and if he was wrong in his belief, i have to say juz 1thing, "Who's next.." ...keke..
G' luck.

Great Gift

There is nothing as special as bringing happiness as a gift to a friend. And when suresh returned from korea, he did present me a korean traditional 'Mask' key chain. Its nice and always good to carry along.
'Mask' (also called as t'al in korean language) is a tradition used for drama dance called t'alch'um. Their shapes are grotesque and greatly exaggerated, and their colors are deep and bright. This is because t'alch'um, the mask dance drama, was usually performed at night in the light from wood fires. Mask less powerful in expression and color would have failed to deliver the themes of the drama. Religious masks and masks for daytime performances were much less vivid.
However, from prehistoric age, t'al was used in warfare for soldiers & horses, for entertainment dance and drama to embody the character in drama and admit right expressions. For koreans, it has always been a symbol and belief of happiness. To respect their tradition and belief, i am lucky to carry one with me.
Thanks to suresh!!

Decisions Tough!!

Somehow i had good experience in interviewing people. One nice thing i wish to share is, i had a chance to audit and question Mahesh Munjal, chairman, Hero Group. This is not special because i sat against his table, but because i realized the Vice-president (R&D), J P Sharma, convenienced and did convencingly say "You are invited to audit my chairman". It did take few months for me to convence him on my ability and finally a 3 day audit of the entire plant did impress him. Thanks to God for giving me good expriences.
When days grew, had expriences of recruiting people and even here in my office, had been interviewing variety of characters. HR is also a nice job..hehe.. Here, I had experience of accepting resignations also..
But this wednesday, things were different and something i had never done before. After analysis, patient observation, everybody passed the ball to me. I didnt choose to take a decision for a simple reason, the guy is my collegue's assistant. However, my collegue always consulted me, i have also shared proper opinions and in rightous aspects. For on wednesday, he had been out of office for some reasons and finally i had to choose, whether to sack his assistant or to retain him. Unfortunately, this guy was supposed to get his PR next week. I still holded the cancellation process. Several times, i had been councilling this guy that his attitude should be progressive and should have a strong character. He is like a child and not very realistic. Unwilling to learn, though i observed his learning curve was good. People have there own reasons for exploiting any opportunities. But i always feel, when it comes to career, it should be the only focus and only that can push us ahead in life.
I called upon 'termination' on him. I councilled him for the last time for about half-an-hour. I asked him to choose a career and line of light-weight according to him. I pray God and i wish he finds his new job. I had one confidence, he wont be sent to his home country, definitely singapore will keep him here, as he is supposed to stay here for minimum 3 years.
When my boss asked me, "what's your final decision? I dont interfere, its your final choice..". I said to him, i feel bad to choose to terminate, but had to. I had no choice, because i had to consider my collegue's sentiments too.. It was a grim day.. Of course, my friend also didnt choose to be aggressive, he was even more patient.
Then my boss told me, many people are good, but they might not be useful in organization's perspective. So you shouldn't feel bad.
Lesson for the guy:
1. Dont take people for granted and don't slug around the responsibility.
2. Modern management strategy, Decisions are immediate, and manytimes decisions are from unexpected people.
Lesson for me:
1. To be a manager is different and to be a friend is different. I should learn to demargate my line with clarrity.
2. To be a manager and better leader, we should keep less emotions and improved management guidelines in perspective of the objectives. Have to be a strong character and swift in action.
3. Important.. keke..
Always somebody is judged by somebody..
An engineer by his manager..
A manager by his CEO..
A CEO by his chairman..
A chairman by the market..
So doesn't mean i can pass my time leisurely in a coffee shop. I dun mean that work with fear. Definitely nope. It's juz with heart and sincerity with whatever we do. Thatz it..
"Survival of the fittest".. this is the criteria in today's trend. No choice, either we self-tune or just be prepared to sometime become a 'chicken chop'.
There is a saying..
"When we see a beautiful waterfall..
God will definitely plan to bring you to it.. When so, God will definitely bring you through it.."
Anyway, i had been on OFF for yesterday, let me not slug around, iam pushing off to my desk.. Got something to be done.
