जब भी मिलती हैं मुझे....

अजनबी लगती क्यों हैं..
जिंदगी रोज नए रंग बदलती क्यो हैं ...

तुमसे बिछडे है तो अब किससे मिलाती है हमें....
ज़िंदगी देखिये क्या रंग दिखाती है हमें.....

Musing

दूरियाँ हैं दर्मियाँ मगर
दिल नहीं हैं जूदा
जब ख्वाहिशें हो हमराज़
मान जाता हैं खूदा

मिट जायेंगे फ़ासले
मुख्तसर हैं दायरें
चल पड़े हैं हम वहा
जहा तेरी परछाई ही मिले

Replacement...

Today was a good day.. cos I found a drink similar
to the bacardi breezer I used to have back in India.
Tried the Smirnoff light alcoholic drink (3% alcohol)
which tastes almost like the breezer.
So.. I have my poison available to me now.. Cheers.

Will post about my trip to the amusement later...
too tired right now from all the fun I had :-)

Interefering or Responsible?

Does your job end if you have raised an issue and passed
it on to higher management to resolve it?

Personally I don't think so. I believe you should do all in
your capacity to find a solution to the problem or to atleast
mitigate the risk. You don't get paid just to do your job - you
are also expected to raise the flag when you think the project
is going off-track. I expect my team members to do that and
m sure it is expected of me as well. That is the value add you
do - not just to the company but to your job as well. If you do
not leverage your experience and your expertise - what purpose
does it serve? Well, I have nothing to counter the argument of
"I am not getting paid enough to do value add" :-)

Professionally I am being pushed to do it though. The reasoning
given to me is that you cannot do push beyond a limit when you
are not in charge of something. It is true to a great extent and I
am already feeling the heat of it - since I have raised a few flags
I might be on the way to being labelled a trouble-ticket. :-)
That apart, the fact remains that every person has a different
style of working and as long as everything gets done in time
and with quality - it should be OK. But that is the question -
do we wait till the end to see if that style is good or not?
Should you not correct course - yours or someone else's -
to save time, money and efforts - or should you just have
some fun at someone else's expense?

Then again, it depends on the situation. Not all techniques work
in all situations and that is the wisdom that comes with age...
and since I am too young (;-)) to be aged - I think I will learn
the tricks - some the hard way, some at somebody else's expense.
