"Are you kidding , its not my cup of tea " I Can't do it !

Got a call last week from my friend Arun's office..was informed that I have to show up at their office on monday morning SHARP at 10 in the morning.
Monday morning : The time is 10:15 am (15 mins late is kind of being on time i guess ! )
A sweet and beautiful receptionist came to me and said "Sir you are late! the meeting has commenced and now you have to wait till you are called inside" 
I: ok! :-)
I was waiting for Arun (my friend, who works at some good designation here) to Come.
I was able to see the whole office from the Waiting room. People were busy with their pc's, Files & documents ,deadlines ,phone calls ,everything at a TIME.. pheww...
So much to do !  The only thought passing through my mind was how do they do it, I mean so much at a time and there is no place for errors and mistakes.. a small mistake and things get screwed up
"Are you kidding , its not my cup of tea " I Can't do it !
Excuse me Sir!, Arun sir has called you!
As that sweet voice fell into my ears I came back to my senses, " Sure, where is Arun"
He is waiting for you in the Conference Hall, "OK".
I headed towards the Hall, 
Just as I Entered, I saw a Crowd of Professionals Waiting,
Without giving me a single minute to think what was going on , Arun Introduced me to them, saying
"Here is the guy we were just discussing about, AKASH!"
 And I was Welcomed by everyone. 
I was looking at my friend in a Puzzled way? "what the Crap is going on, will you explain to me?? with the confused  look!" 
I'll explain you the matter later , he replied in the same manner!
Soon everybody left and Finally I went to Arun , flooding him with numerous Questions 
What the Hell are you doing ? 
How do they know me ?
What were you discussing with them regarding me ?
You haven't even informed me anything? will you explain what's going on here ?
Stop Stop Akash , HOLD ONN , calm down , let me explain everything ,
Actually we are planning to start a new project in the Southern side of the city and want U to head it ,its as simple as that, u just have to manage the team and promote the work !
Manage the WHAT ?  you are being nuts !
 You mean I have to work like Mr. Malhotra(The Director),
 Arun u have lost your senses, I mean how can I do it, I have no idea , I saw Mr. Malhotra working behind that apple screen continuously, dealing with people, managing the resources, And I don't even know how to operate that software!!
Akash Akash Calm down, there is nothing which a person can't do in this world , Mr Malhotra would also have not known this before , he tried and did it , you are looking from behind the Screen !
At-least Give it a Try!
Arun Convinced me as usual , the project started and Gradually I had all the command on the work which seemed impossible to me once !
Generally what happens is we 'Underestimate' ourselves and seeing people doing their work so efficiently makes us cautious , which is again a normal human behaviour , but no work is hard , nothing is impossible..... 
just remember "If they can why can't we, and if we can then anybody can "
Believe in yourself and no work in the world is what you can't do!
All I want to say is never underestimate urself , You might Fall while trying but Falling  doesn't lead to failing until you give up on it..

The word of mouth

  We often heard in life that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Yes, this is true but we never wonder about the authenticity of the work written by the pen. That’s simply because we were never taught to question the same. Today I just had this argument with myself after watching the movie Baar baar Dekho. What’s said by the critics and people around me gave me an impression about that movie was that it’s not worth anyone’s time to devote in such kind of movie and I was following the same rule taught to me “Not to question the authenticity”, unless and until one old friend of mine suggested that I should watch the movie and decide by myself instead of blindly following the word of mouth. Still I was not convinced because it’s easy to be with the majority then to take a stand. There are so many simple things in life we choose to ignore, so many rituals blindly followed that we didn’t even have the courage to question that! Why is that? Why are we th...

The remaining 95%.

"He is lucky" exclaimed anirudh, having a healthy conversation just after the results were declared. Anirudh stated that arnab always get better marks then him because of his luck. I and arnab study the same thing , take the same tuitions and the solve the same test papers but every time he gets a huge lead .This is a routine cry of anirudh supporting his failure to take over arnab. Often we came across these type of situations . Sometimes we are the part of this conversations , sometimes we just listen, but the one thing you will observe during these chats is that if you are the part of the conversation then you might believe that "Anirudh is right" keeping yourself in his position but as soon as you are the other part of the story .ie "Arnab to the story" you feel Irritated because you worked really hard to compete and after winning all the credit is going to your luck! isn't it? This was just  a normal incidence I thought of sharing .I was just goin...

The Era of Smart TV & Phones and dumb People .

I t was not the first tie when I was ditched by the network  while I was looking for way to reach the office and the wise old man around me helped with the route to get me there without even giving a little stress over it. The same thing happened to me when I was travelling and wanted to know the list of stations where the train is going to stop but again this sweet innocent love of my life was out of network so I the ray of hope was old couple sitting next to me .These small incidences force me to think about how Technology has overtaken the power of our brain. I still remember when i was a high school kid and Mobile Phone was the newly invented craze and at that time I use to remember all the contact numbers of my near and dear once so that I can call them and gradually when this device was developed further with better storage and all the contacts was saved in the phone now i hardly remember any contact numbers. The exercise or the work which we use to do with our brain has take...
