How failure shatters one's confidence ....


When you soar high with Success , everyone is there to share it... You will feel as If you are on the top of the world ....Confidence will be very high which might result in over confidence too.. smile



But when its a failure and you fall down it shatters your confidence too much because what is left after failure is only finger-pointing ...

It was and is very painful...Pain is similar to how you feel after falling down from a top of a stair case...

You will not be able to withstand it....I felt the same way...Probably that's the reason I keep thinking of something else during work.

This has been happening for some time now..My concentration has become very poor...It was OK about 1 year ago...I often experience sudden mood swings and instantly react to everything without thinking of the situation or the people involved.

@ Work I am not even able to do whatever I was used to some time back..


Some time back (3 months back) I was under so much pressure that I hardly used to eat or sleep properly...

There was no moral support , Only pressure from all directions ....
During one such time , I read a joke in Facebook..( It was not very funny , many people did not even react when I told them the joke smile) but I laughed continuously for 30 minutes ...Tears came out of my eyes after I completed laughing...

I felt like I was relived ...and that feeling of lump in my throat had gone ...It was so healing..

I am slowly coming out of the shell..but thinking of this still hurts me and haunts me

I feel that at least few readers who pass by this post will have or would have had something like this to relate to..






Why is one better than the Other ?




I have always been in a situation , where I blame the present and then when any change happens ,I think about the past and ask myself ..It was better earlier Isn't it ? smile



Actually , you will understand the value of one thing or person only when it is not there

Naturally you will start feeling this is better than the earlier one or vice-verse.


So , I am convincing myself to go ahead and not to think about past or future.

I am slowly returning to my normal schedule as my Project's Phase 1 has gone live smile



Its been a while since I added a post to my Blog. Lot of things happened which made my life very very hectic.

Phase 1 of the major project I was working on finally went live this Tuesday. But the after effects of the go live was unimaginable.


Lot of serious issues came in , which needed immediate resolution.

My managers are treating the go live as a failure. However, according to my its my biggest success till date. For the past two months or so, I have been working day and night.

No time to talk to my parents over phone, No time to eat and no time to sleep.

I used to return home by 1AM /2AM . I used to hit the bed when it was early morning.

Workload and pressure was so high that I had to do all the work...(One Woman Army smile) .

My friends and family members started scolding me.

Our project is based on On-site - Offshore Model.

Post go - live our on-site manager escalated saying that Offshore has not worked at all and all the post go live issues are because of Offshore.


When Success comes, Everyone wants a share...If its a failure, then only one person(i.e, I should take the responsibility).

My manager @ offshore read out that escalation email and asked me " Aren't you angry ?"

I was very very tired.If were normal I would have broke the computer screen . I was half sleepy and did not have strength to even get angry smile.

I answered him back saying "Dog's tail cannot be straightened smile ".

Its very difficult to change a person's character and this person is also like that.

No matter how much you work...Its OK not to get any appreciation but its hard to accept a false statement that you did not work at all. It hurts. Only I know that how much stress I went through .

If I did not work then how the hell did the project go live on time.

People are so selfish. No recognition for my work.

But I can guarantee one thing. No other resource in my project could have done better than me in this project.

I hope someone is seeing my performance and hope I get the recognition I deserve.

Save your Head First , Then think of Saving the rest of the world smile

,





Sometime back I was told by one of my friends that , We should not entirely trust anyone even if we have had shared a good friendship in the past particularly if the person is related to your work and not any of your school or college friend smile

I actually did not take it that seriously and went on with my work.


But what I witnessed sometime back @ workplace was exactly what my friend told. Situation forces people to behave differently even after knowing that it is going to hurt someone smile .

I was bamboozled when a Person whom I trusted most and had immense respect did not react to a game played by our managers.

This is has happened in the past too , But I moved on thinking that everything will change and change for good. But what happened this time , totally shook me .Then I thought for a while , Probably my friend was right . We should not trust anyone completely.

When it comes to Saving their head, Everyone will do whatever they can to save them first and if possible then only they even think to save others.

The incident took me by surprise completely. A great Lesson to learn for me , so that going forward I become extra careful.

I was completely angry and as I am writing this post I am angry even now .

Work Work Work!!!


This incident happened some 20-25 days ago.

I was totally unwell but still made it to the Office with all the stamina I had. But soon after reaching my work place felt so tired that I somehow wanted to quickly finish off my work and leave for the day.


I had started working and was almost in a position of completing my work.My lead came to my desk and asked me about my health status.(I was unwell the previous day as well so he knew it). I told him that i was feeling very very tired because of lack of proper sleep and food.

Excerpts from the interaction :


8:30 AM
Lead (At my desk) : How do you feel now ?
ME : Hmm.Feeling very tired .
Lead : This happens when you don't eat and sleep properly smile
Me : ( I thought and said to myself , what a great discovery smile ) Ya I know.
Lead : Ok. Better go to medical center immediately and get yourself some injection or medication or whatever it is.
Me : confused

Lead : Did you get what I Said ? Leave immediately and come back soon.

Me : No reaction from my side except that my mouth was wide open.

Lead : We have loads of work today. Do understand that and make yourself fit . Okay?

Me : bigeyes devil furious mad

This interaction was witnessed by one of my colleagues who sits in the same cubicle as me. He got so furious and had a shocking expression on his face for a very long time. Soon this story went to some of my other colleagues also who felt sorry for me.


I think even if i am dying they will make me do my work and then only allow me to die smile

Very difficult to understand people.bigsmile

People are Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Selfish.


Empty Vessel !!!


Empty Vessel make the Loudest Noise.Everyone might have heard this proverb million times but have you ever witnessed it?



I have witnessed it.Many people simply shout and make unnecessary noise ??? And in most of the cases these ppl will be in a higher authoritative position in a professional work area smile

Initially the kind of noise they make will make you very uncomfortable but soon after couple of interactions with those noisy creatures you will realize that actually they are like that because their top floor is empty. Wondering what and where a top floor is? Top Floor is an area where for normal human beings Brain will be located bigsmile

Now the next question is , despite having an empty top floor why the hell are they shouting ?

Answer is very simple, ppl try to hide their weakness through all such non-sense things.Most importantly, since they are in an authoritative position they take the most advantage of the managerial power they have.

By shouting, they screw the developer's life.

In a software industry there are just two ways to survive.

The first one is the easiest which 90% of the people would prefer to follow - SAY 'YES' for all the stupid things the manager says :d.

Example :

Manager : Hey look outside(Manager looks at a CAT outside). That's a COW isn't it?

Developer : No Sir, it looks like a CAT to me.

Manager : No No , its a COW . See Properly.

Developer : Oh ya you are right. Its a COW.

Manager : Good.(Thinks and tells within his mind to himself "Humko ek chamca mil gaya" ( " I got a slave / follower who will do anything that I Say") smile

Now , coming to the second way . Hmmmm i have to admit that its the toughest. You have to put your heart and soul and work very very hard but the outcome is not in your hands.

In the process, you will lose out your time with you dear ones, you will lose your health , you will lose your happiness.

In turn, what you gain is

1. Bad name or complaint despite working well.
2. Bad Health condition.
3. More anger and frustration. Here the most difficult thing is you cannot vent it out on anyone and it will reside in your heart and push you into depression.

4. Trauma


But one thing which i would like to emphasize on is ,the time will come when the developers who fall under the second category per my classification will shoot back . Normally the bounce back will be very powerful as so much pain and anger would have got accumulated inside them after such a long traumatic experience.


Volcanic Eruption is the most dangerous thing that can happen to any nation.

I have literally reached the final stages of tolerance level. I am not sure when I am going to burst out my anger.

I feel that a person's behavior depends on his/her upbringing and family background.

Its very strange and weird that even Rowdies are part of Software Industry.Barking dog does not bite but silent dogs can bite smile


Probably this is one of the lengthier blog post I have posted so far. smile

Tension !!!

Its been a long time since I had written the last post. Did not get a chance to browse as I was busy during weekends.

The project which I am working on is going to get over by august end and since this is the first master project I am working on I am very nervous and tensed.

Still lot of activities pending from my side . Just about 1 and Half more months to go and I have already started feeling the pressure and the tension.

My coordinator @ onsite is very cool though supporting me whenever I get tensed.

May be since this is the first time I am working on such a biggie its tough . May after an year or so even I will become more matured.

The tension is making me not to think of anything else beyond work. I am not even able to sleep properly .
If anything goes wrong I might be escalated from all directions of management.

Is this what everyone face or Am I just too nervous ??? Waiting for September 1st to come smile

Forced Perception!!!

Forced perception is a wonderful concept in photography and images using the technique of forced perception does come out really well.


Check out this link for few such samples.

http://funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/1784018/Forced+perception+pictures/


Now the obvious question here is why i suddenly took this topic to write on.

I don't know who named this technique but "FORCED PERCEPTION" happens in our life too.

Most of the times , your opinion dies out and you just get lost in the crowd.

You are forced with a decision made by someone else and have to live with it.



I wish I could write more but words are not flowing that easily today.

Will be back again with something more interesting and worth reading smile
