Thoughts for the weekend....

Didnt have any serious topics for blogging.Thought i will share some information i gathered during the day...

--> We have a one semester course in "Principles of management and behavourial sciences".Some feel it is not necessary for engineers.But the course is good, you can get to know a lot about management and various other topics,which we busy engineers are not usually aware of.Anyway the faculty was not available today and the substitute faculty shared a few big authors name and about their books with us.Am sure many of you out there know these bigwigs but am hearing about thier work for the first time.I have made it a point to read them when time permits. The following are those books:
1) Thomas Friedman - Why the world is flat??
http://www.thomaslfriedman.com/worldisflat.htm
2) Who says elephants can't dance?? by Louis.V.Gerstner http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060523794/104-2351553-7159938?v=glance&n=283155

--> Some time for english vocabulary
Fair-weather friend - A person who is dependable in good times but is not in times of trouble.Think some of us can identify with such friends.




--> The audio of Jillunu oru kadhal been released.For those of you who want to catch up during the weekend,spend some time to hear these songs.Am eagerly waiting for this film...especially the chemistry between Jyothika and Surya is going to be amazing.

Ok ppl...thats all for the weekend.Will try to get some other topic to blog during the weekend.

Take care and happy weekend..

Wish Life had an UNDO Function!!



This is the profile name of one of my friends in the great vetti site ORKUT and I felt it was true to the core.Am sure everyone would have had this feeling one time or the other...my God why did i do it??,how good if i could just reverse the effect.

Well its happened for me umpteen number of times.It may be our words or maybe our actions or our thoughts.It comes out spontaneously,many a times we never think about the consequences.Then comes the stage..."OH NO"..............

Its just a click of a button that Bill Gates has provided to undo.But for us mortals God has also given the total control of that button to us,as our thoughts and as our self control.To use it, you have to do the opposite.Think twice before you do anything.Give two minutes and think of its consequences.If you are in control of yourself, either in times of despair,confusion,anger and happiness..then you won't feel the need for the UNDO Function in life.

After all this,even if the inevitable happens, then keep cool..No use crying over spilt milk. Just try to minimize the impact of the action,analyse why it happened and avert it the next time.But don't make it a habit!! Its upto us to make or break......

From my personal experience, it takes very great effort, but one which is not unachievable.

ok ok i can hear you people say "blade podathu".Will come up with something else in my next post.
