Working against a Wall !!!

What do you think is the best test of motivation ? In my view , simulate a situation for someone to perform his duties when it's been made crystal clear to him that he is not going to achieve what he expects the most out of that particular exercise. And therein one can judge how much motivated one can be.
Life has been a lot easier for people who work as professionals who has numerous alternatives when things don't turn up the way they would like.But i really wonder what happens with sports-person in this kind of situation. If they get disappointed can they change in the same manner ?
I have a few examples to quote...One being Padmakar Shivalkar, a great spinner who couldn't play for India but has tons of wicktes in the domestic circuit. One would always feel that he deserved to play for India but a shade better spinner in Bishen Bedi kept him out. But then this was a very pure and rational comparision for the choice and not malicious as in some companies.So from where did he gain so much of motivation to carry on ? Same is the case with Rajinder Goel..... who had a very very brief stint.
I feel that it's not always the professional or calculated thinking but a very emmotional one. Sometimes people get emmottionally attached to their task and hence that keeps them going.
Also, i see people like Narendra Hirwani and Venkatpathy Raju who are in the same league.
People sometimes feel that they are the chosen ones to be a sucker like that but then to motivate oneself from that rut takes a huge heart.

Tea ! A great ingredient of Life !!!

Tea, "aey Chai garam" is the constant hearing when one enroute to my native place in Maharashtra or for that matter on every route i have travelled , such is the universal appeal of this item. As for me i am always game to have a sip of it and in a day 4 times gulping of the same is quite mandatory for me.
I am amazed that in Bangalore where i am right now, i have no problem to have it.I was quite apprehensive when i first moved here but i am very happy the way it has came across. Everywhere the quality is not good so myslef and my friend have marked certain locations wherein we get it just that right.

At my native or in Maharashtra, there are different versions the most famous being the "baadshahi", it simply means that the tea is prepared with more milk. Also adding "Ilaichi' and "Aala" (sorry i don't remenmber their Hinglish names) to tea makes it even much much better.
Certainly we don't buy that English style of drinking the black tea. Tell you really it's very harsh on my taste buds. Sometimes, tea is accompanied not with buscuits and breads but with "chapati(poli)" and it certainly tastes better if the chapati is "shili".

And there is absolutely no timing for tea. Right from the assembling of a group for the birth of a new born to the death of someone people are game for tea just may be to relieve the stress. I find it just a great traditional way when people in a group move to a "tapri" for a "cutting" chai. I am very thrilled at this majestic sight.

Also there is no limit to the quantity of the same.Whenever we are on board to Akola my dear friend consumes nearly 8-10 cups of tea in just 24 hrs. I am just behing him with 5-6. Even at home another great sight is when somebody refuses tea or it is prepared in more quantity it invariably goes to my father's cup.

It's really a fantastic component of my life and of many others. Just when i complete this i will be heading for this only.

The Other Side !!!!

I am writing this because i have never been on this side. The other side here means that knowing throughly what a software is doing. I have mostly worked on the application level and hence many a times the way of working has been like a trial and error.Ofcourse one has to go by this way about say unknown API but a very logical and rational thinking makes one a very smart worker.

I feel that people can imagine a lot about what happens with their certain action in the code. How the background thing will work. The can very well visualise the entire process. I have come across lot many such people and their thoughts and knowledge certainly makes me wonder if they are the ones who invented C,C++ or Java for that matter.

I am slowly and steadily following such approach and yes, this certainly improves one's skills to a greater extend. But there is no doubt that such guys are very selfmade and very focussed on their job.

Being a UI worker i have believed what i see.... hence the background things i haven't really worried about. But things are changing for the better and the feel is very satisfying.

Would like to continue in the same vein.... always....
