Published by prateekkhamesra on April 25, 2013

Before I begin telling you the story of how I taught my Mom to use touch screen phone. Let me share with you the story of the circumstances which lead to the purchase of the touch screen phone. My dad is a nokia loyalist as the keypad phones provided by nokia are durable and easy to use. One day, my dad’s phone stopped working. My dad went to the mobile store to buy another nokia phone where the shopkeeper convinced my dad to buy samsung touch screen phone. My dad bought the phone and showed the phone to my mom.…

Random Thought Season 5 !

Published by prateekkhamesra on April 23, 2013

The ever increasing season of ‘Random Thought series’ is a explicit example of failure of my ability to follow the rules written in the previous seasons. Anyways, I am just gonna scribbled something to clear my thoughts. RT 1 : My top priority is to increase my concentration. I am not able to study for more than 1 hour. I need to increase my sitting capacity to long hours. RT 2 : I need to stop paying attention to gibberish/ random thoughts. In fact, I need to stop day dreaming. No one has ever become rich by day dreaming. So…

A walk to Remember.

Published by prateekkhamesra on April 21, 2013

I spend my weekday in front of the desktop screen and weekend in front of the laptop screen. In every person’s life, there is always a day when he/she just want to spend the entire day either sleeping or relaxing in the house. In my life, it is the usual routine, I don’t step out of the house on weekend. Even I don’t know why, may be I am lazy, may be I am not. Anyways, I finally step outside for a leisurely evening walk in the vicinity of my society. I am sitting on the bench and enjoying the…

what is GIGO?

Published by prateekkhamesra on April 19, 2013

I came across an interesting management principle known as “GIGO”. According to the theory, garbage in = garbage out i.e. Poor planning or strategy results into unstructured garbage out. Doesn’t it correlates to the challenges faced by our (Infosys) company. Think about it. Anyways, GIGO stands for Garbage in Garbage Out. GIGO can be used in our personal life too. For example, if we tend to think or breed negative thoughts/ vengeance, we are bound to fail in our life. In Hindi, there is a saying “Bura socho ge toh, bura hi hoga”. Even in the times of failure, this principle holds true i.e if our…

Theory of Radical Truth

Published by prateekkhamesra on April 17, 2013

I came across a theory known as “Theory of Radical Truth”. According to this theory, when a person informs the receiver that he is about to speak truth, the chances of other person getting offended by the truth diminishes radically. This theory is proven after numerous case studies. (Although the conclusion is an obvious common sense but hey, who I’m to judge science since science believes only on proven facts and results). Where this theory stands in my life? Well I’m going to in cultivate this theory in my life. You got it right, I am going to speak RADICAL…

More You Give, More You Get !

Published by prateekkhamesra on April 13, 2013

Message “Hot Payment Successful” is displayed on my computer screen. I just transferred Rs5000 to Mr. XYZ whose father is in comma due to a car accident. Do I know Mr. XYZ? No but he is a part of the Infosys as well as my project (Barclays). I remember an old adage which my grandmother used to say “Insaaniyat hi sabse badha dharma hain” (Being a good Human being is the biggest religion). A part of my body (specifically my brain) was projecting a different story in front of me. My brain never said No to the charity but it was giving me very attractive options to utilize Rs5000.…
