Thinking outside the box

The expression 'thinking outside the box' is in common use and well understood. It is visual and communicative. There is an implication that the 'box' is a bad thing and constricting, as all boxes tend to be. Yet, to be honest, the box is a very good thing indeed. The box contains all the values, attitudes, beliefs, rules and assumptions that allow us to behave in a rational and useful way on any occasion. Everyone has a set of 'boxes'. One box may relate to a business or a professional life. Another box may relate to a set of relationships, as in a family. Another box may relate to self-esteem and self-awareness. Without boxes, life would be a random walk. Or we would have to work out every single step rather than rely on routine or the value guidance of a box. It is the box that determines perception. Sometimes the box gives a ready-made perception. Sometimes the box instructs us to pay attention to some things and not others - and so determines our per...

India against Corruption!

WHAT THE BRITISHERS DIDN’T SUCCEED IN DOING, WE ARE EXCELLING IN!! Sir Winston Churchill wrote 64 years ago about India : "Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low caliber & men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in India ." We are indeed an incredible NATION; we have worked very hard and we have indeed proved him right..... India against Corruption!

Indian Black Money Secret Reveals by wikileaks

Ultimate Love Letter...

Sweetheart , I've seen you yesterday while surfing on the local train platform and realized that you are the only site I was browsing for. For a long time I've been lonely; this has been the bug in my life and you can be a real debugger for me now. My life is an uncompiled program without you, which never produces an executable code and hence is useless. You are not only beautiful by face but all your ActiveX controls are attractive as well. Your smile is so delightful; it encourages me and gives me power equal to thousands of mainframes processing power. When you looked at me last evening, I felt like all my program modules are running smoothly and giving expected results. /*which I never experienced before.*/ With this letter, I just want to convey to you that if we are linked together, I¡¯ll provide you all objects & libraries necessary for a human being to live an error free life. I anticipate that nobody has already logged in to your database so that my connect sc...

Nice story (is this a real one......?)

My wife called, 'How long will you be with that newspaper? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?' I tossed the paper away and rushed to the scene. My only daughter Sindu looked frightened. Tears were welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl filled to its brim with Curd Rice. Sindu is a nice child, quite intelligent for her age. She has just turned eight. She particularly detested Curd Rice. My mother and my wife are orthodox, and believe firmly in the 'cooling effects' of Curd Rice! I cleared my throat, and picked up the bowl. 'Sindu, darling,why don't you take a few mouthful of this Curd Rice? Just for Dad's sake, dear. Sindu softened a bit, and wiped her tears with the back of her hands. 'OK, Dad. I will eat - not just a few mouthfuls, but the whole lot of this. But, you should...' Sindu hesitated. 'Dad, if I eat this entire curd Rice, will you give me whatever I ask for?'.... Oh sure, da...

Six words of wisdom

  Standing for what you believe in, regardless of the odds against you, and the pressure that tears at your resistance, means COURAGE Keeping a smile on your face, when inside you feel like dying, for the sake of supporting others, means STRENGTH Stopping at nothing, and doing what in your heart you know is right, to make another's life a little more bearable, without uttering a single complaint, means COMPASSION Helping a friend in need, no matter the time or effort, to the best of your ability, means LOYALTY Giving more than you have and expecting absolutely nothing in return, means SELFLESSNESS Holding your head high, and being the best you know you can be when life seems to fall apart at your feet, and facing each difficulty with the confidence that time will bring you better tomorrows, and never giving up, means CONFIDENCE

Mahatma Gandhiji Wrote a Letter To Hitler

Mahatma Gandhi's letters to Hitler Mahatma Gandhi's admirers are not in the habit of confronting embarrassing facts about their favourite saint. His critics, by contrast, gleefully keep on reminding us of a few facts concerning the Mahatma which seem to undermine his aura of wisdom and ethical superiority. One of the decisive proofs of Gandhi's silly lack of realism, cited by both his Leftist and his Hindutva detractors, is his attempted correspondence with Adolf Hitler, undertaken with a view to persuading Germany's dictator of the value of non-violence. I will now take upon myself the ungrateful task of arguing that in this attempt, Gandhi was (1) entirely Gandhian, and (2) essentially right. Gandhi's first letter to Hitler Both of Gandhi's letters to Hitler are addressed to "my frie­nd". In the case of anyone else than the Mahatma, this friendliness would be somewhat strange given the advice which Hitler had tendered to the British government con...

What is W2 and C2C and 1099 and MSP and VMS ?

I am talking about H1 visa. An Employer will take you on W2 basis or 1099. The diff between two is that 1) In W2 employer will cut your tax, while incase of 1099 employee will be resposible for that. So, in 1099 you can show your expenses like commuting, gas etc which are exempted from tax and you might be able to save some extra bucks. Generally, in US employers goes for W2. c2c ie. Corp 2 Corp (what I supposedly know): Suppose you are a consultant for company A which is not direct vendor for client, company B is a prime vendor for client and company B ask for candidates from company A. In that case if you are working for company B it is corp2corp If need job in the US on an H-1 visa , must be paid on a W2 basis, not via a 1099. A MSP, Managed Service Provider, manages vendors and measure their effectiveness in recruiting according to the client's standards and requirements. MSPs generally do not recruit directly, but try to find the best suppliers of vendors according to t...

Mahatma Karamchand Gandhi

Mahatma Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 to a family of merchants in Porpbandar, India. At the age of 19 he broke free of the existing caste system in India by moving to England where he studied law. Considered the father of the Indian independence movement, he is highly regarded as an enlightening force in our world.   "Be the change you want to see in the world" “Those who know how to think need no teachers.” Mahatma Gandhi and his brother Laxmidas “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” “Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable” This picture was taken when Ghandi was arrested in a 1913 strike. On his right are two of his co-workers, Mr. Kallenbach and Miss Schlesin. “Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.” “To a true arti...
