There is more than just one aspect to a human being’s personality. The K-serials showed just the opposite. The good were always good and the bad, perennially evil. Leave K-serials, they were the worst possible things that could have been created. In general, only one shade of a person’s character is shown if one reads some other novel or watches some movie. However, what is true in reality is that without fail every individual has various traits that define his/her nature. Good, bad, carefree, cautious, evil, divine….. a person has everything in him/her. What I feel is every individual is a split personality. The same person might act different in same situation. Godaan was first published in 1936 and is considered the greatest Hindi novel of modern Indian literature. What I liked about the book is portrayal of variety of shades of human personality. A man who was a baddie also had benevolence for others and it was circumstances that brought other aspects of his temperament. Same was t...

There was a King in ancient times. He was ruling his kingdom sincerely and intelligently. His masses loved and respected him. He took great care of them. There was a famous saint in a nearby village. The king went to him to seek his blessings so that he would serve his kingdom better. The saint told the King that he was discharging his duties honestly and earnestly yet since the King had come, he (the saint) would give him something which would help the King handle drastic situations better. The saint gave the King a locket and asked him to open it and read the contents only under two conditions: either the King was so happy that he got overwhelmed by that or he was so doomed that he could find no way to handle the situation. If the locket be opened under any other situation, the effect of the locket would be of no use. The King thanked the saint and left. Many years passed. During all those years, the King came next to opening the locket, however every time some or the other thing mad...

I went to office and my manager (let’s call him Elisha) started asking me about the blog I had written earlier. “O God! How come he knows about it?”, I thought. I had not given him the link. I did forward the link to a few of my colleagues, but never to him. He was cracking his jokes regarding the blog and all I could thought was about, “Has he read the other blogs?”, “Meri to watt lag gayi beta…!!!”. What perplexed me the most was how the hell he could get my blog link. Probably you read my previous blog, 3 IDIOTS. I sent the link to one of my colleagues (let’s call him Dick!). He was reading it when Elisha came to him. Elisha saw 2 familiar names. This aroused his curiosity. He asked about what Dick was reading to which Dick told it was a blog which I had written. Oops! But I was on a sick leave!! Elisha then asked for the link. Dick had no choice but to give. Elisha might have read the blog. In my previous blogs I have written quite shamelessly about my future plans and how I hate m...

Here the 3 idiots are: Jiten (J), Kapil (K), and me. Amdocs is a nice company. Please don’t start applying for it. My praise is never related to work. Its about the added benefits provided by the company. There is something called AMDOCS CLUB POINTS given to each employee of Amdocs. These are the points which though not cashable, can be spent in taking part in various workshops and classes being conducted within Amdocs. For instance, if a dance class is being organized for the employees by the Amdocs Club and the cost is say Rs. 1400/-, 1400 points from the Amdocs Club points will be deducted and the employee can join those classes without spending his pennies. If the employee is unable to spend the points, at the end of the financial year, some goodies are available which can be bought using the same points. This is to encourage the employees to take part in various other-than-work activities. However, the HR has failed pathetically in its endeavor to push the guys towards extra-c...
