Nothing

I had been out of blogging for a while. So sorry folks (i.e whoever still follows my blog). I have recently found a new aspiration to start blogging again. So let me start off my second innings of blogging with a blog about Nothing.

So u must be wondering "How the hell can anyone blog about Nothing???" Cos if u are blogging about Nothing, then u can't be blogging in the first place since if u are really blogging about Nothing then technically you wouldn't be blogging at all as Nothing simply cannot be blogged . Think about it... it does make sense.:) You tell me... how can anyone blog about Nothing. I cant u cant. Then how in God's name am i blogging about Nothing. Thats because Nothing is simple to achieve. (pat on my back from myself... that really was a good sentence) U can just about say anything what's in ur mind and people will say "Oh... thats Nothing".  I guess Nothing is omnipresent and omnipotent. To blog about Nothing, u would first concentrate on Nothing. Initially u will find it difficult. You will think that it's impossible to concentrate on Nothing. Infact u will feel it as a paradox. But after some concrete effort, u really can think about Nothing. Once u have some vague ideas in ur mind about Nothing, u can improvise your thoughts so that Nothing wouldn't remain as Nothing forever. It must be transitioned to Something:) 

Huh... I myself am getting confused of Nothing now. Do u see the pun here??? "Am I confused of nothing or am i confused of Nothing???." How did i write so much about Nothing??? Well what can i say... my fingers are just dancing and moonwalking over the keyboard. Some random letters are getting typed. Some stupid words are being written. Some weird sentences are being formed. Though I know that Nothing is being written, my fingers are not stopping themselves from dancing. Ok fingers, I am going to give you some more time. Enjoy your happy time and have a blast and do all the dancing you want. You can type whatever pristine-crap u want. You can dance around in which ever way u want. Thats all you could type. You are already thinking what next to type. What a shame. I thought you will go on and on and on. I never expected you to give up so soon. Time's up.

Why do we, the IT people, crib so much???

I have been pondering over this question for a long time but in vain.

We have the best looking steel-and-glass offices, best salaries, best comforts... the list goes on. A look at the IT offices is in itself a pleasure. Nice(sometimes weird) design, architectural wonders and innovative structures. From the inside, the story gets even better. Air conditioners, comfortable seats to sit on, lovely lightings around the cubicle, free snacks, free coffee and tea and boost:), clean drinking water, dust free environment, educated professionals around... the list goes on again. So, what do we crib about??? The single most definitive answer I have come across- "long working hours".

How to quantify "long"??? How long should "long" be to be called as "long"??? 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours... how much. The answer is subjective. Lets consider for the sake of argument that on an average 10 working hours per day is considered to be long. Name a profession and average out the working hours. Small shop owner: 9am to 9pm. Porter: 6am to 10pm. General physician: 10am to 8pm. Surgeon: 10am to 7pm (without considering the midnight calls in case of emergencies). A surgeon is also under immense pressure as lives are at stake. There is no room for error. What are the perks these guys get??? What are the average salaries of these people??? You work it out. How many of these people crib??? Every profession needs long working hours. A surgeon might receive extra perks and higher salaries but his profession demands that. He cannot commit even a single mistake. (unlike us who can just re-compile the code again and again and again!!!) They might crib about their plight; but why is it not coming up in the media??? Why are the news channels and paper media concerned about the IT people and not the other crowd??? Why do they focus only on us??? Why??? I dont have an answer. We have been spoilt with all the attention that we get.

Coming to number of days of work per week. We "officially" have to work 5 days a week. In other professions, the official number of days of work is 6 or 7 (or 5 for that matter). We can take holidays at will. We can make excuses at will. If we consider a daily-wage labourer, can he take holidays??? Yes he can, but he wont get paid for that day. If his family is dependent on him, u think about it; rain or pain he has to work to meet his daily needs. Is he not under pressure??? Infact he is under pressure than most of the professions. I dont even want to talk about his perks and working conditions. You know it better than I do.

So what differentiates our pressure with their pressure??? Many say that while theirs is physical, ours is mental pressure. Valid point should I say. Who is not under mental stress??? Infact our profession is mental stress alone while most other professions demand both. But, does it require so many perks and luxuries??? Does it justify us cribbing??? Can we even crib??? I. DONT. THINK. SO.

If I were a girl...

I wouldn't have had second thoughts of having an affair with Arjun Rampal.
