Are you alone in your work place?

Do you feel the following symptoms…


a) You have very few friends in office. You can’t seem to relate to most people in office.
b) You have no interest in your colleagues or the kind of conversations they seem to have.
c) You have nothing to contribute during lunch time discussions on topics that are official and non official.
d) You seem to spend more time on social networking sites than real people sitting in and around you.
e) Your social life seems pretty meager and is highly disintegrated with your work life.
f) You don’t enjoy any kind of official get togethers that happen within and outside office
g) You talk to people only when there is work and no other time.
h) You don’t seem to understand the jokes that are cracked by others and don’t seem to be able to get your jokes through.
i) You seem to have an attitude mismatch with your colleagues. You don’t have any common interest area apart from work deliverables.
j) You don’t seem to be pleased to meet your colleagues in the morning and your work gets underway if they exist or no.

If you score more than 6 you are alone in your work place. I would say, there is absolutely no way to score 6. You would either get a whole 10 or a 0!
What does your result say?

It pretty much means the same to a girl and the argument may not be largely different but let us concentrate on the trauma of the guy here. Generally guys do not seek a single status. Everybody is born with this status and depending on the age at which the guy becomes cognizant of this fact that he is actually relationshipless he starts bracing up to move away from this status. But here is the trouble. The “what” of the trouble is known, the “why of the issue is also pretty much understood but the “how” of the trouble is a perplexing one because there is not one technique that leads to a relationship. Let’s examine the very natural way of getting into a relationship, love. This is probably defined as the firs...

The Dream

It is important to dream big to achieve something big. I heard this line in a recent interview of Sachin Tendulkar. There is so much power in this statement. That particular dream gave him all the will power to become the most respected sports icon of the country. It’s the dream, a vision that fosters us with a certain scene and people like Sachin dedicate their lives to see that moment become a reality. If you are wondering why am I boring you with such an obvious testimony of a personality that every second Indian adulates, then things are just about to get interesting. I am writing to this to address a certain set of people who don’t have a dream, a la me. I don’t want to be the VP of my Co. 30 yrs down the line. Infact I don’t want to be the VP of any company. I don’t believe in what I am doing. Hence I don’t know what I want. I don’t have any vision of what my future should be like. I don’t aspire to be any one. I would love to see myself being interviewed on TV. But in that progr...
