And-came-unto-me-he-that-night!

It’s amazing how easily people get captive to their passions. So much so, that they will look at their day-to-day world with that same perspective.

Take for example a software programmer might take all kind of tracking (effort, defect etc) as existing program defects, food court line as a round robin in action and salary slip as output of an optimizing algorithm.
(But surely there's much more to these things than a programmer's fantasies.)

Steering back to context, I too was in an ecstasy or hyper state on that wonderful day. Indeed it was a great day and I was happiest with my self. I finished up something near to 3rd runner up in Brand Equity Quiz held by the quizzer who prefers his middle name's first letter N silent viz. Mr. Derek o' Brain in my college Technical festival.

Well to me it was a great achievement looking at the looming stock of participants ranging in 1-5 in numbers.

Cutting the loose text apart, actually I had prepared long hours (I learnt the hour spent in any professor's class was the longest) for last many days. My mind was all clogged with the definitions of business terms, names of business typhoons and my favorite, millions of company taglines.

And that was the time when he chose to come!

"Let there be Light!”.
I spelled out Bible and then Surya tube light, (which was more relevant).

And then began the most unconventional conversation:

He never gave a chance and asked, "Celebrating life?"
I said, "Its Work and not life", for Cognizant and for strife!

Bewildered God said, "Hmnn… so, Applying Thought?"
I remarked, "Wipro man, to thinking I don’t give a damn"

Till then inconspicuous of his mighty presence and assuming some friend was trying to smart me out, I was too excited.

Knowing my ignorance he asked, "You believe in Beyond the Obvious?"
"Its surely TCS, but what to believe in?” I replied.

Tense, He said, "You are surely 'Going Beyond' sanity!"
I told, "Oho man, its Satyam and so no fair vanity!!"

He was tired and so lectured, "Hey look, 'Life's Good', and to this 'God's own country', 'Everyone's Invited'. This world is... err I am 'The Power on your side' and 'Your Partner for life '."

I thought, too many questions in a row, take this...
"LG, Samsung, Kerala, Allianz Group, Max New York Life!" :)

Dumbstruck God felt sad for the guy and so asked his favorite boon question, "How you want to improve your odds?"

And now I understood the gravity of the situation and knew this answer was the final one, the last step for making any difference, to prove my self and so I replied, "With Infosys Predictability!”.

And so it was destined and done.
Have fun.

The art of public story telling -

Fact:
Start. I once worked on Windows 3.x. The End.

Story:
Start. We had this Hi-Fi Tech Computers lab in our department and I was so excited that I will be working on latest P3 machines. Well, the lab was all too fandu, with lot of PC's, full AC, fandu floor carpeting and all. And guess what, the machine I thought was the best one, after booting showed me Windows 3.x. Firstly I thought it was some latest version I was not aware of, but then the menu and graphics looked all dull. The programs tab was on the top instead of at regular bottom, the world seemed devoid of natural colours and then it dawned upon me that they have damn installed Windown 3.x on a P3!!! Can you comprehend the blunder? Maybe this is the only version these guys in computer department could understand (giggles) or they ran out of money (Yeah! our poor college). But you know guys I worked on the machine for some time and then suddenly couldn't find anything more to do. The damn window's ran out of features to keep up my interest (laughs!). Well I then thought of reporting this to that very good professor and left. The End.
