A REASON TO CELEBRATE ...

Hey people... Its been so long since i'd posted something on my blog...But then you must understand that i had been busy concentrating on something more important. So here comes this week's post and i must say, i am very happy to post about something that made my week an eventful one.

Yess...I for the first time in my four years of college life, attempted to do a paper presentation which had been keeping me away from all my routein work of blogging, orkutting, tweeting chatting...etc! But ofcourse, as they always say, Hard work always pays and my hardwork in this new venture turned out to be fruitful! I and my friend Krithika won 2nd place in the TECH TALK event conducted by the MCA department of SRM university which was held on the 3rd and 4th of september. And today, i'm happily writing this post as a start to another week full of daily blogging :P

A special thanks to Dhruv And Shalini who had been kind enough to come and encourage us thru out the day and yeah, for all the fun we had, to celebrate that evening! I hope we do a lot more presentations before our college life cums to an end!

CHEERS!

DO YOU WORK FOR LONG HOURS???

This is a nice message. So i'm sharing it with you again to remind you that 8 Hours are globally defined hours to put your effort, Manage your work within 8 hours, but don't leave the work for another day , just prioritize it...



Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff:

It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on...
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing....
And who's at work? Most of them ??? Take a closer look...

All or most specimens are ??
Something male species of the human race...

Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors...

And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them...
Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late...Importantly no bossssssss!! !!!!!!!!!"

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices.

Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do...
Now what r the consequences. ..

"Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture.

With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!).
They aren't helping things too...

To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!!

Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours.

So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and
That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home too.

For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing the same amount of work.

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labelled as work-shirkers. ..

Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labelled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they would have to regret at one point of time.

So what's the moral of the story??
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
* Never put in extra time " unless really needed "
* Don't stay back unnecessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.

There are hundred other things to do in the evening..

Learn music...

Learn a foreign language...

Try a sport... TT, cricket..... ....

Importantly, get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town...

* And for heaven's sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*

Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time,
don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!

IT'S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.

PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON'T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE !

NARAYAN MURTHY.

Something true.......!!!

BE AN EFFICIENT WORKER!!
