Who are you - Donkey A or Donkey B?

This is the story of two donkeys. There was a person having two donkeys. We can call them as Donkey A and Donkey B....

Donkey A was very enthusiastic. He always used to show that he is hardworking. He always carried more wait, walked faster so as to make his owner happy with his work.

Compared to A, Donkey B was quite lazy. He never make his owner happy. He never thought that it is needed.Whether his owner is with him or not, he just walked in his normal speed. He was not showy.

Slowly, the owner started realizing the difference between these two donkeys. A is walking faster, taking more load while B is lagging behind. So he started appreciating A. He started hitting B. He stared comparing B with A. B was not able to understand this competition, One day he said to A, " Friend, only two of us are there, then why should we compete with each other? Instead of that we will share the load. Instead of running faster we will walk quietly. There is no success in keeping others behind!!!"

But it affected A in other way. A started thinking that B has no guts, he frightened to him. He thought that, as he was going ahead and B was not liking it. So A started walking even more faster. He started taking more load.

The owner was very happy on A.But at the same time he was very angry with B. He was hitting B, but B was not able to walk faster and take more load. So at one fine day B died.

Now as A takes more load, owner started giving B's load on A. A was thinking that he is better than B. B died and he is still working. Same time owner started expecting more from A.

But this didn't last for more time. A was taking load four times his capacity. Now even trying so hard, he was not able to meet his owner's expectations. Now owner saw the difference in speed and load A used to take early and now. So owner stared hitting A. But even by trying his level best, A was not able to work like previously he used to.

Owner was bored of hitting A. He thought that A is no more hardworking. Finally he gave A to butcher and bought two new donkeys.

Moral of the Story - Software industry-

1. While working in corporate world, don't think that your fellow team members are not hardworking or intelligent. They take their part of work and hence you are getting good work.

2. What and how you are working is important for your manager. Don't use your manager to humiliate your team members.

3. Whatever donkey you are, for your manager you are just a donkey.

4. Don't do too much work. Instead of that, just do some quality work.
"Never work hard, work cleverly".

One event in Hostel.....yes, this happened with us!!!!

This has happened, when I was in my final year of B.E. Myself and Mayuresh were staying in Room no 103 of E block in COEP hostel.

One night the rector came for checking, and they came in our room......and this is the conversation between us -
Rector - So who all are living here?
Me - we two.
Rector - ok...room is maintained quite ok...But where is dust-bin.. Don't you know that the
dust-bin should be there in every room
Mayuresh - Sir, I was not aware of this, we will bring it tomorrow......
Rector - ok...give me your Identity cards, tomorrow show me the new dust-bin and take back the identity cards.....
Me - fine sir...

The next day we took the dust-bin from my friends room, the only problem was, their names were written on the dust-bin. We thought we will just show other side of dust-bin and take the I-cards and come back. So as per the planning we went to rector's house.

We were just standing at his door, with that dust-bin in hand....
Me - Sir, we bought new dust-bin, now can you please give the I-cards back.
Rector(to his wife) - aga, sketch-pen de jara, mi yachavar naav takato ( Hey, give the
sketch-pen please, I will write down names on this dust-bin).

And he went inside.
Suddenly we were in big surprise.....now what to do?
And at that point, one brilliant idea came into Mayuresh's mind.. Thanks god, the idea was really good.....
He gave me that dust-bin and asked me to go......So I left the place and returned to room.

Rector came with sketch-pen and saw Mayuresh standing alone......
Rector - Where is your friend?
Mayuresh - Sir, he got a call from some friend and he went to meet him ...
Rector - And dust-bin?
Mayuresh - oh...he went in hurry, so he forgot to give it to me.
Rector - What is this? Now come after sometime with dust-bin, and then I will give the I-cards.
Mayuresh - ok.. sir...

Then Mayuresh came to room, where I was waiting for him... Then he told me whole conversation with Rector.....Then we went to market, brught new dust-bin.. showed it to rector and got the I-cards back....

Really, Its very funny moment in my life....I never thought that such can happen with me....:-)

Holi 2007 in Bangalore!!!

This is how we celebrated the festival of colors - Holi in Bangalore....

Thanks God that Holi was on Sunday thia year, So we got time to play holi..... One email from my friend played key role in this . He sent mail on Friday that we are going to have Hungama in NGV(the place where we stay). So everybody was eager to play Holi next day.. But on saturday nobody really played Holi outside.....so we didn't

But on Sunday, Nikhil and me went near the garden in NGV for breakfast, and here saw lot of people playing Holi... Oh we were very happy to see it. And we decided that .. Its a time to play Holi:-) We went to flat, wake up everybody..... And took two buckets of water and colour and went down( down here, because we are staying on 5th floor).

And then we mixed colors in two buckets and started playing with colors...........
