Baying for blood

Hehe bid for an Item on EBay and fortunately or Unfortunately won it...!!!
Lets see if I get the thingamajig that I bid for.. and to add , things are getting hot under the skin..
Things seem promising but at the same time they seem threatening as well. Promises seem like mirages and realization is dependent not only on us but a host of other events. Guess no one can predict what the future holds for us.

Arun and the Soothsayer

Loosely modelled on the title .."Asterix and the soothsayer" .. I guess I suck at this.
One feels ike a kid when given a piece of clay and think of building a cathedral out of it. Well... A cathedral can be built but can I is the question. Reminds of Michelangelo... and also of so many others that failed..
Fuzzy has a new definition in my world now and it is getting increasingly populated with data models and entities. One fine day it might lead me to lead an independent entity world and feel that God is ERWin... jus kidding
Things do look tough and especially sp when you are stringarmed inot doing things you do not want to do and listening to things that you know are pointless.
One week of torture on point of views was enough and others got scared. Luckly my patience held out...
Also now the new problem of doing things I cannot do or should I say not allowed to do is quite painful with no side taking up positions that I can side with...
Things going at breakneck speed and sometimes feel like doing a lot but things will be like this...
Hopefully things should turn out the way they should be and we get what we are supposed to.
till then .. looking forward to the next day when I can be rid of nags and doubts and do work in peace al day... Dream sure I did.

Be seated please..

If only I could do that.. Everyday I find myself in different places.. a better perspective some would say but I disagree... Things seems fluid with lots of things happening over which I have no control.
Between tutorials and training my day is divided into chunks of introspection , retrospection and all kinds of spection...
What do I do.. find a place to sit since I am supposed to do something important and after that...? well find something to do .. funny but true.
Basically I twiddle thumbs after finding a seat. I think my policy from now on will be to not come at all and be seated at home... anyway I have a seat and also have nothing to do.. same situation..
Things might turn out ugly with a lot to do but as it always blusters you never know whats in store...
Apart from Hurricane Ivan and Kuznetsov... some name that rhymes with supernova but not that she is superb... nothing else is changing the world.. The world still remains a work of Still Life by any celebrated artist. If anyone wants still life models please tell me where to apply. This definitely beats waking up at 5:45 to go through the motions of working your butt off to reduce weight...

Why do Balloon Enthusiasts Need Consulants

Consultants know the deal to spew out hot air in such large quantities that a balloon enthusiast would love. Maybe Charles Lindbergh had on with him when he completed his trip around the world?
Then why did branson fail? He knows hot air like his mouth and are made for each other...? But of course there is the responsibility that people hear what he says and he has to make good on what he says... But nothing like that for me.. Preparing 'visionary' documents and point of views 5 to 10 years ahead is like apple pie to me..
When u know u wont be heard of seen or appreciated .. Things lose their importance and purpose.

Life goes on meandering and taking its own course and time to confront my worst fears is looming and whether it will leave me weak and imbecile or strong I cannot say but time can tell and I have nothing to do but wait!!!

Various decisions need to be made and I do not know if I can make them or am allowed to . It might be an assumption that some people think that I am capable of acting on my own!!! Plotting my next move , I wait...

Dr Do Little!!!!

As such I do little and the doctor orders rest for a day!!!!
God save the flu from me I might actually find something to do with the flu to escape boredom rather than compiling high level "Visionary" documents for men at the 'top' They must be shortsighted at the top I guess.
Bed rest for a day and feel knocked out without a fight is not funny but juggling office email , and assignments along with the same is not a joke...
Deliverables coming up and gotta get cracking. Have to see what other visionaries have come up with and finish what is supposedly 'expected of me' and get well soon also I suppose. Prepare for a training session too!! god save me . When it rains it pours.. guess lifes like that... gotta read more of reader's digest...
It seems like 'do little' has a lot to do.. cumulative of days of boredom passed through!!!??? maybe yes , maybe not...

May god BI with you

BI ( Business Intelligence) thats wat I am supposed to be know all about. Know all... that is also what BI is all about.. both trying to achieve the same end??
Inbetween coughs , sputters and a messed up phone connection I try to find meaning of what I have to do, am doing and supposed to do.
Lot of things pop up but someone , somewhere has a lot of clarifications to make and it seems like it is going to be sooner that I thought...
And inviting feedbacks to my blogs sees like a dreaded thing but lets see how things turn out including my day to day life which has become meaningless and the only drive to the day is to go back home and then it becomes a morose countdown to the end of the week. I feel like Robinson Crusoe trying to get something done in a deserted island where everyone 'appears ' busy and paints glorious pictures of living a 24X7 life . Wonder where theses facade of lies will stop and people will realize that nothing is being done...

The Tooth Fairy cometh

They say you get money when you lose a tooth. I have my pay credited.. but pray what have I done to deserve this. Make one feel that it is not truly earned and blow it off. I think this tendency exists in everyone and makes them spend more that what they should because they feel they are not worth this much?? Interesting thought better left to economists and psychologists!!!
As usual of things to come and of things to do I remain... What comes no on will know and wil know only when it is upon them and sits on their neck and demands action!!!!! You know who to call.....
So going back to the usual suspects... Pink Floyd and u know what I remain pushing my realms of tolerance to realms unknown to myself...!!!

Ahem! of purposes and Insights

Defining Mission and Vision of anything is best left t a consultant ( Not me!!!) I am reminded of Tarot cards and Ouija Boards when thinking of Vision...
Only a Visionary can define a vision... A visionary.. One who can see far ahead.. Makes him/her a candidate for Short sightedness!!!!
Presentations to make on upcoming trends.. Some sick paranoid chaps building systems to complicate life and we help them complicate it further with all the mangled codes written and incomprehensible inefficient data models created!!!
Seems funny when this effect stacks up and finally another system is thought of to replace this one.. One with more sub clauses and iterjections!!! So where does all this lead to One may ask...
Nowhere would be the answer people will continue to use the system they are comfortable using and no amount of cajoling will make them change. Only thing that can be done is to keep the exterior same... change the innards and DO NOT REFLECT THE VERSION NUMBER ON THE SCREEN!!!
