Paitence...

In an Indian temple, when the priest had gone for lunch, the Idol of the Lord and the Stepping Stone were conversing.

Stepping Stone: “What a good fate you have. We both were the same lump of rock for millions of years. The sculptor carved an idol out of you and everyone is worshipping you. And look at me, I am a stepping stone and every one stands on me and stamps on. What kind of life is this?“

The Idol kept smiling and never bothered to answer this, now, routine murmur from the stepping stone. But the stepping stone ( stone used as a step, that is ) will never stop his constant bickering.

The Idol replied: “But do you remember that when the sculptor set out to carve an idol, it was you he chose, first. You were so impatient. In one strike, you broke in to two . But when he tried on me, I grinned and bore all the hammers and chisel strikes with PATIENCE . Here I am the worshipful and happy Idol and you are the Stepping Stone ….“

The difference between success and failure is patience and persistence.

Auto Backup

With Windows Live integrating all the users storage needs into one place, Sky drive, I think I have another idea for easing user’s life.

Why not provide facilities to ‘auto-backup’ contents from various other sites! So I, as a user, should be able to click on a checkbox and Live service will take care of backing up my Blog posts to Sky Drive. In case of Google, my blogger posts should be backed up to Google Docs ( or maybe Gmail itself). Not only blogs, but this could be gradually extended to Contacts, Calendar and the services are unlimited.

Thought for the day...

Silence between two unknown people creates a relation, but silence between two known people breaks it!

Portable is a buzz...

"Portable" is a buzz these days, be it hardware (HDDs etc) or be it software. Nobody likes it fixed anymore. Everybody wants to save the trouble!

Even the professionals need to be portable, ready to switch work locations between branches 'on the fly'

Portable has become part of my life, how about yours?

Tought for the day!

Safety of Employees in IT Companies..

In recent time, I have heard a lot of news regarding the deaths of IT professionals, more so with female employees. Everybody knows the reasons for it and this post is not here to discuss the problem, but provide solutions.

While I agree many companies have started taking measures to ensure safety of employees, but it still lacks some place or other. Following are my recommendations to all the companies:

     

      1. Make it mandatory for employees to leave early! This option is most widely preached, but this doesn’t solve the problem for IT companies. What if the project requires the employee to stay late for work?

      2. Make Cab arrangements for the employees going late. This again is widely adopted solution, but again this is not fool proof and we all know how many cases have happened with the employees traveling through Cab, though less but still there are and we cannot deny that.

So, here is my take, why not provide employees, especially female employees with laptops and ask them to work from home if it gets late. This is very simple solution that will ensure that all employees leave early and yet be available for late working hours. Though I do not deny the fact that infrastructural cost of company would go up investing in ‘so-many’ laptops, but look at the benefits you get from it. Now only safety, but we ensure less electricity bills & use of company’s resources!

Don’t you think the cost-benefit analysis here will be fruitful?

There are few companies who have implemented this and let this be the beginning of new safety era.
