At Another End

It's around 1 Am when I am in some fix. I think approx 90% of the population is in their bed at another end of their own world. This figure 90% is not a kind of hypothetical figure but it's from my observation to my surrounding. From where I am sitting right now I can see around 15-16 building around me and around 13-14 are in dark, some 2-3 buildings are in light at this time. So I assume this figure as a global. But it's not that rigid though if you don't like my concept you can forget about it and can enjoy the rest post.

Things are always best when they are at their extremes. I don't know who was the guy whether, a genius reader or a writer who said "Books are the best friends of human being" It's like whether there was an egg first or a hen. But it's for sure that he/she was a tremendous thinker. Thinking is a kind of process which starts churning out thoughts without any pre alert. We are taken to some new world where only we and our thoughts rule. I can say it a sandbox where we are testing our thoughts. Most of the time we think because we are bound to and sometime we think because we want to bind ourselves. I am not a consultant or any carrier counselor but I realized this talking to some guys in general who were in sort of dilemma about the next.

I remember, when I had to select a stream after passing matriculation for my future. At this time I had to thought because I want to bind myself with something essential for me. Now when I am full grown up and can feel the heat of future responsibility, I am thinking because I am bound to. It's a kind of sensational thinking process when you at one end and thinking about the weather at another end.

So till now what I wrote is something general I realized but what's the fix I talked about in first line. Well it's that what feels a person happy when he/she is reading anything. Whether it's the writing skill of a writer who wrote it so beautifully that the person just can't stop himself reading it or the reading ability of a reader that sensed the real essence of the testimony and stamped it as a worth reading text. I know most of us would be agree on the fact that it's a group task, accomplished simultaneously. But here I think when you are be a reader or be a writer, you are the only player in the field, this time what feels you justifying your work. I am till in fix. The answer is supposed somewhere from first generation reader/writer who setup some guidelines to which we are following till now. There is an analogy to this as we know in business the first success principle is "make it in cheeper place and sell in costlier" we can generally read at first page of any business book but the person who had said this first had certainly not read it in any book but he/she earned it from his/her experience. We are at another end and I want it to get fixed.

For the time I get my all fixes fixed, think mill is on and workers are at work.

Cheers !!

Understand your itch

Great ideas come up from your itch.

It's well said that you have to scratch your own itch self. But what this itch actually is ? Is it natural or due to any itch powder, you have to understand before scratching it. I am surrounded by some geeks who have tremendous ideas. They know very well how to work and what to work. I must say they don't have the word 'compromise' in their dictionaries. I have learnt this nice sentence from them 'Scratch your own itch'. It's rightly said and I think most of the startups are also based on the same theory.

I have a problem, I want to get it solve, in-spite of wandering here and there keeping problem on palm let me solve it and that's what scratching own itch means. We are living in a fast and furious world and that's the biggest problem around. You don't have any other option instead of being fast and furious. Neither others have time to time to take a look at your problems nor you should have to show them. It's not about surviving because if it were how can freelancing be so successful. We don't have all the fingers of equal length in our hands so as we are. We all have our own thinking, own way of working and interpreting the problem. Suppose what happens if your thumb pretends like your little finger or your middle finger as your index finger. The situation seems little terrible.

To have an itch is a nice thing but to understand the nature of that itch is most important. You are living in a community surrounded by some extra-ordinary geeks. You are living there not because you want to but because your parents work there. The geek environment is their need. You see your friends coming up with some fabulous ideas with full of adventure and innovation, but you can't think like those, because you are different. You are baffled, because you are not praised by anyone like your friends are praised. Now you start continuously thinking. You want an idea to come into your mind which you can say is your itch, and finally you get an idea which some how is a skewed form of an existing one and you say it your itch. You start working on it, enter into market but you realize your mistake when you are kicked out of there.

I think this is not a natural itch, this seems like you are powdered by someone and you interpret it as your own itch. You were actually prey of your own. You tried to be someone that you are not. That is how I feel sometimes when people start doing what they are not meant for. I think compromise can a well suited word for them. They 'compromised' with them. An itch never generates on the body of those who compromise in fact they tend to scratch others itch. So better be what you are and try to understand the nature of your itch.

You seems like itchy ... just share it :-)


Cheers !!

Do you have problems ?

It's so long wrote here, but yeah I am here to write something just popped up in my mind. Do you have problem ? 0_o

Ohh.. no no I am not asking you, it's just a question my teacher friends, my teachers, my colleague used to ask me. Yeah it really funny but it's true. But why did they do so ? I asked them too, and the reply was "you ask a lot of questions" and I asked is there anything wrong in this ? What if I ask questions ? Actually asking questions doesn't always implies you are big dumbo, but that you can not always know each and everything. Problem is not you are asking a lot of questions, problem is that you are not being answered appropriately. And yeah here that's the problem.

Problem never comes alone. Problem is generated by questions which is generated by an idea. The idea which is not being discussed yet, the idea which is not being excecuted yet. So the questions are obvious. But ideas get excecuted only when you have power to question. But to whom ? To yourself, to your surroundings ...

I have six men which do it for me (yeah it's really tough job for single :D) These are What, Why, When, Where, How and Who. Really hardworking team which only works for you 24x7. If I have any idea I just consult with them and they churn out the idea. Churning out idea is not only the job, analysing the problem is on the basis of questions is the main job. If you can analysis the problem accurately you are done. And that's the step where most of tumble down even me. Analysing the problem in both positive and negative way can help you to judge the problem at a very extent.
I give you an example,

one day I went to a xerox shop for some papers to get xeroxed. I saw a man sitting there at shop and dictating a Hindi written document in his hand to the typist, who can type in Hindi very conveniently. As a get my document xeroxed I saw the man was done with the document typed in Hindi and was handing the typist a not of Rs. 50. The document was hardly of two pages. I met the man outside the xerox shop and asked how can you pay Rs. 50 for just one page of document typing. The man glared at me as if I have asked him about his asset. He replied so what should I do. I don't know how to type in Hindi, so I get it typed and according to shop tariff it cost Rs. 50. I remained silent. Not because I hadn't any reply what he said, but I it was a normal problem, which generated an unanswered question for me.

Why the man do not know how to type in Hindi ?
What if the man do not know how to type in Hindi, is this a big crime ?
and so on.

Surely I am not the first person facing these type of questions. May be the person is the first one who developed google transliteration service. A service which just demands from you the ability to type. Translation is purely handled by the service. See again it's a problem that generated a question, which further genearated an Idea and it leaded a nice service.

That was a very trivial problem, but solution only incured when someone had questioned to someone else about it and thoughts flowed. We see several of these types of instances daily but never pay atttention to these issues or I should say never question about these.

So moral of the story is simple that

"We question not because we don't know about the fact, but we want the thoughts to flow and ideas to collaborate for humainity."

So I again ask you , Do you have any problem ? Lets discuss ! :)

Cheers !
