Today, as I was just having a group study for my internal exams, I came across an extremely important, yet unnoticed method of how to perceive significance level in any field / topic.
When a topic is presented to man, the first thing he does is to try to get its significance factor and then begins with the analysis where as the reverse should hold true enough. This topic could be of any field, subject to the man's interest. This theory is just a disciplined approach of how to gain a prominent value of a topic which a person analyses about. This topic could be anything, be it a research theme, a concept or a simple formula.
It basically follows a 4 step methodology which people usually ignore but is actually essential:
1. Basics: Get the foundation of the topic correct ! After all, you can appreciate only when you know the topic in detail!
2. Application: Once you know about the topic well, then human brain starts thinking into applying process of using the topic in varied aspects.
3. Research: Now that the topic is even well applied, can it be further investigated about its hidden powers ? Man now gets into the undiscovered areas.
4. Significance: Once the basics and the research are through only then a particular significance of the topic comes into the picture. In shorter terms, a broader view of the enormous capability of that topic.
An example would be a Einstein's theory of relativity.
Hope this helps for you readers !
Cheers.

SinginDaPura
Who ho !! Its finally in. Continuing my journey from the last post, now that the office and such things are left behind, its time for a new start. A new beginning. A new dawn that aroused amidst a settled dusk.
To begin my experiences, this has to be the first one. The flight was scheduled to depart on a day exactly after Christmas, midnight to be sharp. So no Christmas cakes for me this time. Settling all things and fully packed with emotions and bags, we headed to the airport. It was decided that some of my office people would also come for the send-off. When we reached the airport, it was 4 hours to take off. So waited for my pals to arrive. Kept pestering them for being late, but they already were nearing the place so I didn't want the climax to end in a bad manner. Added to this, a constant pressure from my dearest ones to get in as the time to check-in was announced. I wanted to stay, but time didn't permit. So I checked in the airport. Moreover, Bangalore International Airport has some lame space crunches which does not allow people to visit even during check-in time ! But I had to take that risk, hoping to see my pals after the check-in process at least.
As time wouldn't wait, they finally arrive, minutes after I get into the airport entrance. But I had to finish my check-in process first. The airlines that I had booked had a big long queue as the passengers were of those South East Asian holiday trips from Bangalore. So it took around 45 minutes to get my boarding pass! Another problem of that airlines was that of the baggage allowance. Trying out whatever stuffs I could from my home to check proper luggage allowance, it seemed that this was one of the lowest allowance provider till date to all flights !! Damn luck of mine, I had to settle this as my investigations began a week before the departure. But I politely asked a few during the boarding process and they settled the matter out. The friends were requesting to come out for a short glimpse as they had brought a gift for me. I pleaded to the Airport officers, who, after a random check of my baggage (damn!), finally allowed me to meet them.
After that till the final check-in I had nothing else to do apart from calls made so as to bid a final good bye to console the people outside the airport and at home.
The flight finally called up for final check-in at midnight hour. I was waiting for this moment to see a real flight travel experience. This was a budget flight, an Airbus 320 charter which was quite economically spaced, something like you sit in a regular bus. The flight was full of such tourists who, where trying to "adjust" seats by shuffling passengers. I too was a victim of that and hence, got a seat, not worth mentioning. Finally, the flight took off. The take-off had mixed feelings, leaving the nearest and dearest ones and the other, a new dawn. The flight wasn't that good either with stewardesses eating heads with their regular meals servings. The journey was to shift in Kuala Lumpur as I couldn't get a direct flight and hence, had to wait till my next flight for 3 hours.
Awestruck by the airport's interior design and following the usual "crowd" path, I was about to make a mistake by checking out of it ! Fortunately, I asked the airport personnel before I proceeded to the Immigrations wing. The next flight was the quickest and the most luxurious one with a seat provided that I could stretch my long legs with ease. The flight landed in my destination, Singapore. It is truly worth mentioning that the airport and the processes are damn quick in here. I mean, it was only 10 minutes since the time I got out of the flight till the time I was out of the airport itself ! The roads, the scenic beauty and the discipline were the first ones to catch my attention while I was being taken to my room by my friend.
All in all, it was a good journey with a memorable first-time experiences. More to come..

A Ray of Hope, Finally !
Its the day that I was waiting for. The day when I would step out back into the world as an unemployed, carefree and a joyful student. The day of quitting the usual job, the day of celebrating and the day of being completely myself again !
Yes. I finally resigned from the rolls of my organization. Not just due to opposition of the monotonous job happening around, but desperately wanted to be me again. The idea of working came into this mind, only to take a deserving break of studying. But when I look back into my good old days, it seems the days of college were the truest and the most enriching of all experiences. The idea of getting up daily only to see the same old computer and the peers around was getting a bit too laid and sick for me. Maybe I am still not out of my student life yet. God sighted this, and voila ! I am back to studies.
I sincerely hoped that my own country would do justice to me as I had the desire to get back to my field of study, Engineering. The opportunities came knocking all the time, in fact for 2 full years, I was busy doing parallel activities, with not that much enthusiasm as before due to job hassles. But something had to break the jargon. Sick of the industry, I then looked on for opportunities, one was the usual management path, but was disappointed seeing the rat race. People are just trying to snap out of their routines just in hope for a better hell! It was later that I realized through my friends, that I was more technically inclined than ordering persons to do their jobs. I was very much apprehensive of the fact that this was a forgotten side of mine but the same people threw light upon it. Opportunities didn't click in my home country and so, I finally threw open the option of checking my studies in some foreign land, hoping to see a silver lining. With the road becoming brighter, and in fact luckier, I continued to walk. And finally it broke the hard ice. I got through one of the leading universities of the world, to pursue further studies.
The university that I am through, may not figure out in the best of the lot as per reviews and critics, but I am happy for the decision that I have taken. I wanted to stay out of the herd mentality of looking at the western world for a ray of hope. Now that the tables are turning towards eastern world as a better and bigger opportunity bank, this made me look into such countries as a suitable and viable option. Of course, options to pursue further studies are excellent in western countries as they outclass every other in the world, but to be frank, I was not interested in the rat race again. The same old faces back in school, the same competition and the same juggernauts was all that I was fed up of. So, I decided to plunge ahead and gave it a try, a sincere try, without the expectation of sailing through. Of course, there were other plans made in case this was not done, a lesson learnt from my previous years and peers. I was not willing to let this chance slip off my hands. The same academia, which I admit hesitatingly, came to my rescue and I agree that it was a good thing to have excelled as the top performer in bachelors class otherwise this would have been just a passing affair. Now that its confirmed that I would be flying and that after the celebrations, its time for the post processing work of migrating to my next destination and of course, getting relieved from office.
The post sounds that I am exaggerating so much but, this got to be one of those good days of my life. A ray of hope finally bestowed on this unlucky chap. Now to convert this into a good one. Of course, there might be days when the wild thought of entering back to the same industry might prevail but let there be as one cannot guarantee one's destiny. Hence, there need not be any offenses to the readers of this post.
Wish me luck ! ;-)

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 ! :-)
