Thought of the Day

"People convinced against their will, are of the of the same opinion still ..." - Some wise man.
This is what I have learnt/unlearnt over a period of time - Reality is the perception of the majority ...". Even if you perceive the facts, that is just the truth. Reality is different from the truth. It is a dimension of the truth at a given point in time.

Thought of the Day

A desperate man who runs out of patience and seeks help, on getting it
from the right person, ends up being 'Used' ...
from the wrong person, ends up being 'Exploited' ...

Ideal Titles/Designations

Some days back, an HR friend of mine and I were having a discussion about limited titles in a product company as against a Service Company. A specific line he said, caught my attention - "It is very difficult to come up with titles that are befitting the person. We should not have titles for the heck of it.". Although I wondered what stops a Product based company from adapting to the range of titles used by a Service company, I decide to think out of the box - I will not refine the question but accept its constraints. I started thinking if we all had titles describing what we did instead of what we were supposed to do, it could solve the problem. This is pretty much focused on the Value add by each, where some of them may

Development Managers could be titled - Manager Programming, Manager Software Development, Manager - Product Development.
QA Managers could be titled - Manager Test Execution, Manager Test Planning & Execution, Manager Quality Control & Manager Quality Assurance or Manager Code Testing, Manager Software Testing.
Program Managers could be titled - Manager Facilitation, Watch-Dog Manager, Status Reporter.
Architects could be titled - Requirements Enhancer, Ace Programmer, etc. Anyways they dont do very many things to be able to differentiate between them.

Developers could be titled - Bug-fixer, Fire-fighter, Programmer, Software Developer, Product Developer, Developer-OMG.
QA Engineers could be titled - Tester (Manual & Automation), Defect-freaker, Quality Controller, Product Quality & QA-OMG.

Let me know if you have some interesting titles in mind ...

I wonder what would be a more fitting title for me? ;-)

Aashayein - Nagesh Kukunoor's tells another story

It reminds me of 2 lines from a (g)old Hindi Song
"खुद के लिए, जिए तो क्या जिए
ऐ दिल तू जी ज़माने के लिए"

A Life lived well is one that fulfills the wishes, especially of others - Most importantly when no hope is left for itself ...

No matter how big a paradox, The Ultimate Truth of Life is Death.
If Truth prevails at the End, Death is the biggest Truth of life - Only Death prevails, no matter how long a Life is ...

Death is not a suffering, Life is - especially, in the waiting room of death. Death is merely an end to it.

Great job, Nagesh. Eternal story, simple telling ... Keep telling ... please.
