Match Reviewer

Creative Writing can reach many heights. It is just to market it yourselves. Recently, there was a cricket tournament organized in my office and I volunteered to write the match review of the one that I played. It was so much appreciated that I was then forced to take up that job of writing match reports ! What an irony ! I wanted to check my fluency in the writing language of English and now, people assign some stupid job onto my head, even though I had a hell lot of office work to do.

Thinking of re-reading the Banker book to get some tricks about "how to escape things and live happier".

Banker... Really ?

Some days back, I read the book, If God was a Banker by Ravi Subramaniam and was quite amused. Why ? Well, the reason is simple. The fact explained in his book is quite evident anywhere, everywhere. You cannot limit the tactics played around by people only to the industry he refers to but to the entire sector where in a person does a job to survive for himself. When it comes to people, in a hunger only to grow, come whatever may, who can stoop down to any level, be it selling even your parents for the heck of it. Such numbers are growing quite enormously in a large organization, specially in MNCs. Inability to handle such organizations by some heads, the lower ranks then try to get into the fight of "growth" by just taking some silly credits for which others toil their days and nights out; projection of things they hardly know or be in the verge of just pulling others legs for their games.

Amidst all such idiots few stand out as the genuine, who are honest; work really hard; have a disciplined mindset; value driven and of course, spirited more than the cunning ones. I dont know what makes them stick around with such people all the time. Dont they get thoughts of quitting such companies ? I dont know. But there must be something that drives them to work and excel in their streams.

One thing is sure, such ones flock around as companies need them. Others stay in the same old organization as they dont know their USP itself.

Read it, for you to realize the realities of the real corporate world ! :-)
