I saw a dream....."appraisal letter"

On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Bangalore station. At once I was held back to see someone in that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was blood all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless blow by the last train could have caused the end of this body which seemed to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could see a folded white envelope which was fluttering in the midnight wind. Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the phrase "appraisal letter" on it. With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead guy. The tag around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the hint that he might be a software engineer. I opened the envelope to find a shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors. Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when I saw the appraisal amount of the dead guy!!!!! My God, it was not even, as much as the cost of the letter on which the appraisal details were printed.... My heart poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard inside my mind saying "no wonder, this guy died such a miserable death"... As a fellow worker in the same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake of respect and stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the shock that he would have experienced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in his hand. I am sure his heart would have stopped and eyes would have gone blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his salary.
While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's name in the appraisal letter... hey, what a strange co-incidence, this guy's name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting. With some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted for a second. The guy not only had my name, but also looked exactly like me. Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!!! While I was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who was behind......... splash!!! Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair patting on my shoulder saying, "wake up man? Come to meeting room number two. I have your appraisal letter ready"

Love Story of Software Engineers........ :)


A very intresting story for all of u, it's happen every day life of ours. may b it seem as it's ur own story.. so if u feel same don't feel hesitate to share it with me. Let start with my Hero...
Hero is a software engineer. He does not have a life worth speaking of, He spends eighteen hours a day in the office working and browsing the net.
Heroine is also a software engineer in the same company.She does not have a life either. She spends eight hours in front of her PC, thirteen Hours in front of the TV and the remaining, sleeping.
One day, Hero meets Heroine in a staff meeting in ur case may b in canteen. They argue endlessly about the insanity of Microsoft applications.Especially Outlook 2003 andMSN Messenger.
Couple of such fights later, Heroine is found drinking coffee with Hero in Office canteen now the actual story begin, all story start from here. if still u r waiting one for u then go in canteen quick.
"What is life?" asks the Hero looking at the vacuum right above her head.
"I've been wondering too." sighs the heroine.
"Why are we fighting over these products?" Hero drinks his black coffee.
"And why are we not talking about Lotus Notes"Heroine sips her Latte.
Hero shakes his head. "It's not about software products. It is aboutlife. I guess life is much bigger than Outlook 2003 and the Messenger."
Heroine nods. "I think it is. I am not sure though. Do you know thatMicrosoft has come up with a fix to that bug you've been using to prove Outlook is a worthless piece of garbage?"
"Heroine," Hero is now determined, "From this moment onwards, I am not discussing anything remotely related to software.""Fine Hero," says Heroine, "Good bye then."Hero then returns all the Sybase manuals to the library and rents out "how to live a life?"
Heroine meanwhile gets into an altercation with the villain during a conversation on Sharepoint server. Villain vows to format the hard diskof the heroine. Heroine takes her PC and runs away from the cubicle trying to escape from the villain's evil intentions. Since it is nightshift, no one comes to her rescue.
Hero, who has been reading "how to live a life" very seriously,suddenly finds out that he loves the heroine as much as he used to love Solitaire and Minesweeper.
So hero messages Heroine on Yahoo Instant messenger.But there is noreply. Hero does not understand it. He knows that the heroine is supposed to be in night shift. What is she doing in Night shift if not on Yahoo Instant Messenger? As far as he knew that was what people are supposed to do in night shift.
Hero senses trouble. He runs barefooted on the Information Superhighwayand reaches office just in time to see the villain snatch the PC out of heroine's hands and type the command"Format C:\".
When his fingers get to the "Enter" key, hero delivers the killer punch on villain's face. Villain is thrown back. But in the process he manages to press the Enter key...The world comes to a standstill. The sky roars. The Rain pours. Heroine breaks down. Villain is on cloud nine. But our Hero isn't sad.He is smiling. Villain cannot understand.
Hero then says, "Villain, You should learn DOS properly. Your grave mistake...".
He shows the monitor to Villain. The DOS command prompt says "Are you sure?". It is waiting for a "Y" to commence the formatting operation.
Hero then simply presses "N".
Villain cries in frustration "Nooooooo" and charges like a bull. Then follows a lengthy fight. Heroine meanwhile calls the police and they come right after hero beats the villain to pulp. Without asking any questions, the police understood who is the hero and who is villain and took him into custody.
Heroine..(tears in her eyes) takes her PC,switches it on and jumps with joy when she finds her favorite Calvin and Hobbs collection intact in her C drive."You saved my data" she exclaims.
"No, you saved it yourself." hero says.
"No.. God saved. I didn't" she cries.
"Nothing happened na." Hero consoles.
"Let us get married" heroine sheds some more tears,
"I want someone by my side to protect the Calvin and Hobbs collection on my PC".
"I love you Heroine" says the hero.
"I love you Hero" says the heroine.
"So you agree that Outlook 2003 is a bad product".
"No I don't. Why not we talk about Lotus notes?"
The End

ज़िंदगी है छोटी, हर पल में ख़ुश रहो...


ज़िंदगी है छोटी, हर पल में ख़ुश रहो...
ऑफीस मे ख़ुश रहो, घर में ख़ुश रहो...
आज पनीर नही है, दाल में ही ख़ुश रहो...
आज जिम जाने का समय नही, दो क़दम चल के ही ख़ुश रहो...
आज दोस्तो का साथ नही, टीबी देख के ही ख़ुश रहो...
घर जा नही सकते तो फोन कर के ही ख़ुश रहो...
आज कोई नाराज़ है, उसके इस अंदाज़ में भी ख़ुश रहो...
जिसे देख नही सकते उसकी आवाज़ में ही ख़ुश रहो...
जिसे पा नही सकते उसकी याद में ही ख़ुश रहो
लॅपटॉप ना मिला तो क्या, डेस्कटोप में ही ख़ुश रहो...
बीता हुआ कल जा चुका है, उससे मीठी यादें है, उनमे ही ख़ुश रहो...
आने वाले पल का पता नही... सपनो में ही ख़ुश रहो...
हसते हसते ये पल बिताएँगे, आज में ही ख़ुश रहो
ज़िंदगी है छोटी, हर पल में ख़ुश रहो....................... :)

expectations...........(तमन्ना)

तमन्ना है के रोशन हो तेरी दुनिया तेरी महफ़िल...
don't worry i m not going to sing a song for u here, it's just a symbole to show how much v expect from life, relative n friends. from birth to death so many expectations.........
u know it from start but no body think of it. is it ok, is it should b exist? ya offcourse every body say it should b, i also agree but not every where. it also have it places to exist isn't it?.
it start from mother womb ---
माँ - लडकी होगी, उसे मैं डॉक्टर बनाऊंगी। पिता - नही लड़का होगा उसे मैं इन्जिनिअर बनाऊंगा। लो हो गई तमन्ना शुरू।
it's happen with me also n that time my father was right but he didn't think that i wil b a engineer. but ya he alw think that i should b good in study n very sharp minded boy. he also think that i will b famous as great Amitabh Bachchan so he give me name Amit. he also thnik that i will b long enough like him but hard luck i m bit more then Amir only.
now there expectation start for all exam that i will do better n with god grace i do alw n make them happy n proud. he never force me to study but i alw remind me that i want 90% in exam, so i was free to do anything on that point but alw have to prove myself in exam.
if anybody ask me - बेटा बडे हो के क्या बनोगे?. "आई ए ऐस" -proudly i say alw.
not know that time how much tough this is. but now i see this as some of my friends r in this field n try from last 4 years for this.
so finally i managed to get good marks n get admission in Engineer but not of my choice colleges as every one want to b an iitians n i was not a exception.
my father was so happy with my decision n progress but this is not life time happiness for me n my family as v lost him(my father) so early in first sem only.
now d tough situation for me n all but i found very much supportive n good relative so due to them i manage to complete my graduation. here also some expectations in all as i will get good job so that i can better look up my family n overcome to my responsibilities.
time goes on n i take one by one n manage to complete it, got nice job, got good family for my sister. there now few more तमन्ना my mother have from me, sure i will do all.
लेकिन क्या तमन्नाये कभी ख़त्म होती है।?? नही कभी नही.........
कहते है तमन्ना ख़त्म जीवन ख़त्म....
this all from family but i also have some.. do u guess what..??
ya sure u can. what a young, smart, single, software engineer can expect from life..?
चांद तारे तोड़ लौऊ, सारी दुनिया पर मैं छौऊ। बस इतना सा ख़्वाब है।
आगे आप खुद ही समझ लो.........
in short all expectation tells my story of life, and with all comming expectation i will make life full of happiness n satisfaction.

भय ही प्रबल है।

दो उल्लू एक वृक्ष पर आ कर बैठे। एक ने साँप अपने मुँह में पकड़ रखा था।  दूसरा एक चूहा पकड़ लाया था।  दोनों जैसे ही वृक्ष पर पास-पास आकर बैठे।...
