Lets rock BD... !!!

Had i heard this is one of the hollywwod movies, it would sincerely have been taken differently. But, since this comes out from say Mr X daily, its the tiger and shepherd story. Basically - no meaning, no reaction, no action :P
To sum up the present situation. Its like the wrong people committed to the wrong people and expect us to be the right people to deliver the wrong :P
Na.. there is possible in im-possible, but then how in the world do u have a plan? Of course there is no plan. We cant possibly be playing on short term promises. We are here on a long haul arent we? Oh come on, i dont buy the thing that this month we do what we (Dont know who all approved) promised, then from the next month we are going to have a say in what is decided. Fck it, i dont need to have to take my company down the drain just coz i want more say in the Chairman's office. I can walk right in and talk to him. Monkey tricks to get attention ?? Well, seems nothing more than a gimmick. What is the vision? Mission? Long term plan and hence the short term actionable? I thought, there were mbas all through to the top, then why cant we follow this simple path?

3.5yrs and there has to be payback. I agree. I accept. But, 3.5 months and u want payback? I wouldnt agree with this philosophy and hence i remain quiet. It makes no sense to argue. How i wish, i could stand up and ask. who the fck promised ????
Also, what use knowing it. We have been over committed and how to do the needful when there is no one but u aware of the market and the forces therein? Why cant someone come in here and understand that this aint like any shit place in the country. This is so to say stingy land. We dont believe in doing anything in haste. Even if its just taking a free credit card, i would be making sure that i am not charged. I make sure how much I am getting and for what. So, if i were to invest my money, i would surely not be paying for something like MFs and that too for systems like these where more and more middle men come and play spoil sport. Its just too much for me.

Nevertheless, thanks to the festival season approaching. There is a lot of excitement and action to look forward to for the rest of the year. Work, is no doubt exciting, but hey !! come on, m a human and give me the credit. I have personally met and given more time to advisers amongst all teh BDMs. But alas, the amount is just about there. Cant really help much on that.. :(

But, i have a gut feeling. This would kick start once we have the non-wrap with us. Its something that would be a phenomenon. And then there is no reason for me to worry. I would be empaneling every tom dick and harry on to the platform and making them sell wrap and non wrap and retail wrap.. and whatever that comes on my way. So its like the target set for me.

For once, in my work life, i have been personally able to set some goal for me. Meet all nut heads by december, so that. When we launch the non-wrap , it can simply penetrate into the market without much of an issue.

Whoa !! now thats what i would call conincidence. Nothing pre-empted or pre-planned. I hope that would be possible and would work to my advantage. Business in terms of monies are something i would have to steadily work towards. Increasing the width of the cone mouth is something i would look forward to rather than trying to count my chickens. Its time before we start calculating our return on investment.

Sadly, either the middle layer has forgotten what they learnt in college, or possible i m wrong. Why not create a resource that would last us for long rather than trying to dry off the tap a little too soon? Either way, its hardly having an impact on my way of functioning apart from frustrating me and making me really upset and angry at times. I am more or less working in the same fashion and pace at which i used to. Just that now i have become more polished and aware of the systems and how people work and behave.

Looking forward to having fun, this wonderful extended-weekend ;)

Iftar parties

Iftar parties -- how in the world would i come up with something like that as the title to this conversation?
Well, it has little to do with the festival, but more with the celebration. Why is there a holiday on Id? Why do we all love to celebrate festivals of other faiths? Well, thanks to the secular fabric of our fore fathers and the compassionate heads that we have a constitution celebrating the rich and old cultural heritage of the country. However, sadly in spite of all efforts, each of these festivals remain nothing more than a holiday in the calendar of any working class individual. But, is it a little more than this? It is a lot more some would say. It is the time when people come together for celebrating, when people take time out of their busy, sick schedule and meet, greet and slow down. It is something which is necessary especially when lives today are polluted by emails, mobiles, laptops and all those necessary inventions which eat away 90% of our day. I have always loved the amdavadi tradition of keeping business shut when there are festivals. Staying with family and making sure that there is relaxation and enjoyment all around. Its these small iftar parties during the festivals that keep people going. Call it faith, or simply a ritual it is simply a wonderful feeling when ur house is lit up with lights, and oil lamps.
The peace of mind is just amazing. And its thanks to these, that keep the bosses at bay and let our minds be in peace.

Well, so as the festive season begins, lets get set for these wonderful family times and let our minds and businesses to rest for the time being.

Id Mubarak to all my dear friends..
