Swamped!

I have reached to a stage in my work life where I can't recall being as busy ever before as I am now. Not in terms of repetitive work. Not in terms of spending long hours either (though there are hours at home...). It is purely in terms of there being so much to do that you want to do but just not have the time for it.


This feeling is good! I definitely believe in smart work and it is always better to have more hours spent doing different things than spending fewer hours doing the same thing.

It is the head that needs to be worked out and it definitely can stretch beyond how much you think it can take. Give it a shot while I get back from my writing break to some analytics data. :)

    Absolutely! I am in exactly the same situation. I have so much work that I want to do (not need to do). So much so that I wish a day had more than 24 hours and even that the human body didn't require sleep! And as you say, the brain can take as much as you pour in especially if it's something you like doing :)

Saraswati to Laxmi!

 Image Courtesy: http://www.thehindu.com/ Now that MBA is over and I am considered an ounce wiser, being back home means work. There are so many pending things that are just waiting in the attic to be dusted and made to work again. One of them is the mammoth task of physical share transfer and dematerialization. Though stated in one pretty sentence, it takes months of effort and work. And of course, money!  My brother has been painfully going about the motions of this work for a couple of months now and nothing much yet seems to have resulted out of it. We struck a good deal with a certain Saraswati something shares. I asked, "How much would this one fetch us?". He replied, "Enough to recover the money you spent on your MBA degree". I exclaimed, "Really! Waoh! Even after they have been dormant for like 15 years??!". He quipped, in exasperation, "Weren't they supposed to teach you all this in B-School?" I did shut up and let him do this pain...

Were you sleeping?

How irritating is it to get a phone call when you are in that last hour of your sleep on a Saturday morning? Worse, if it turns out to be your mobile service provider wanting to confirm if you would want to upgrade your 3G plan (which in any case sucks with most providers in India!) Even worse, what if it turns out to be someone important, like your boss? Now you don't want to sound totally sleepy - do you? What would he/she be thinking of you if he were to ask, "Were you sleeping?" at 11 am in the morning? (And, this is judgmental attitude is especially true of older white haired balding bosses!) Well, here are a few tips to sound all alert & morning crispy when actually you would have killed him for ruining your sleep on a Saturday morning. They have worked well for me, hope they would for you too! - Take a deep breath, let the phone ring for a few seconds so that you get a chance to clear your head (hope you did not have much alcohol last night). T...

Randomized...25 times!

Taking the tag from Nikki , I go on stating 25 random things about me. I further tag Ramesh to continue this (please?). Here we go: 1. I am totally moody. And my mood swings should become a part of the legends. 2. I own only 1 pair of sports shoes at any point of time. Currently I have an Adidas pair which have started wearing off. I so hate it when I have to change my pair of sports shoes. 3. I don't like that not many people don't follow my blog, may be my PR isn't that good. 4. I would kill 2 people had it been in my hands. I really would. 5. I hate sycophants. 6. I think it is absolutely fine to be emotional - whether you are strong or weak shouldn't be judged by the tears you shed. 7. I hate it when people talk shit in the corridors of the hostel and disturb my sleep. I am sure if anyone of those read this, they will do so even more. [Then I would have no choice but remove this point.] 8. I am basically a nice fellow. I like to say this to people. And yes,...
