10 minutes to type

I have just 10 minutes to finish this blog. What is the topic that I am gonna touch in this was a question in mind just 30 seconds back. So I made it the title of the blog. Like we have extempore in school where we pick up a chit and talk about the topic in that chit spontaneously, this is called instant blogging.

When I think of the content, I want to share what all happened today and especially the most important learnings that might help the reader to take back something from the blog. Gymming has been one of the profound passions of mine which I dint miss today. Arnold Shwarzenegger in his entire 15 years of career in bodybuilding has fallen sick only twice and that too just common cold. This was one of the most motivating points why I recommend work outs and exercises to people. Also one more advantage of this intant blogging is that I would pass on only really important points for life.

Just 4 minutes to go. Celebrations make your day memorable. Had a chance to cut a cake for my birthday today and was presented with a mega handmade greeting card by AASLESHA. Really awesome feeling to see that I have completed 25 years of my life and looking forward for more. Learnt one of the best things from my mentor "what you think you are, what you show you are and what people think you are must be in sync" - Sujit Lalwani.

Last minute to review the entire blog before posting.

Being Inside Out

"Being Transparent" could also have been the title of this blog. Can your thoughts, words and actions be in sync always? In the normal world there is world of a difference between what we think, what we talk and what we do. Why does this happen is the question of this context? Is it really that difficult or problematic to speak out what you are literally feeling!

You are walking to a class and you find a student in a very nice dress. Will you appreciate immediately or think what would he or she reply if you appreciated? Or there might be an ego inside you which may lead you otherwise saying he might be in a good dress but he is not a topper like you. When teacher explains a very good point in the class, do you acknowledge that or still keep regretting as to why took that course? When you come home late you know that your parents are angry about it. So do you apologise for it or justify the reason that you were late for? There are lot of choices of responses for all of the above questions. But the final destination of choice lies in your conscious which knows if you are really accepting the truth or you are trying to cover up the negligence.

There are lot of barriers in the world of feelings and emotions that bind us in such a way that we cant even breathe through the knots. Your heart craves to have a mercedes but the brain stops you from expressing the wish as it knows the practicality. Your intellect understands the high calibre of your colleague but your ego stops from appreciating that. Your soul cries out of pain when you come across a mishappening but your pride of being a MAN stops you from shedding those tears which inturn fill up a tsunami inside you. Your friendship calls you to call your friend the fourth time but your self-respect stops you from even picking up the phone.  The child inside you wants to play with the kids on the street doing hip-hop but the adolescence on top of you forbids the same. You want to hug your friend during the most sensitive situation but the question 'what will others think of you?' keeps you both apart.

I have tried to portray some of the fightings of feelings inside us in this blog. Please let me know if you also fight day and night through this war of life on is.mohanbn@gmail.com

Guidelines for freshers

It was around 2.5 years back when I joined a MNC(Multi-National Company) as a fresher, everything was new. The cubicles, big board rooms, pantry, conference halls etc which were not in our college were all neatly furnished and clean. Not much of noise, completely air-conditioned and most of the people in formal clothes. A strange feeling yet some kind of apprenhension ran through the veins. I would love to share all my learnings of this fresher employee phase with you in this blog.

Generally at the beginning, the first 2-3 days are dedicated to orientation programmes where you will be let known about the company policies, your bank salary account details and the different provisions provided by the company. Make sure you write down all the details, the website links, contact numbers that are spoken during these sessions. This might be boring enough but its very important at a later point of time. You would be signing lot of autographs on different forms and documents, so please read the content of these without fail and understand them well before you sign.

Once you are into office starting with the regular work get to know your team well first. Dont stop at this. Make sure you get to know as many people as possible in the office right from the security guard. Generally in working environment, information is not kept in one text book of a syllabus like in our colleges. Different information will be floating in the office. It will be your network in office which will help you reach all these information. By information I mean only official work-related information, not any gossips. First 6 months would be very important during which you are expected to learn a lot than work a lot. So make maximum use of this undocumented clause to dive into different areas your team works on. GOOGLE would be your best friend when it comes to any kind of doubts. Whenever you have a doubt ask uncle GOOGLE first and only if you dont find an answer go to your colleagues. This will keep the respect for you in your colleagues' eyes at a higher level. During breaks just confirm what you learnt on http://www.google.com/ was proper through casual discussions with the teammates.

Coming to the monetary part, make sure you understand every component of your salary. What are gross and net incomes? what are allowances? everything mentioned in you payslip. If not request a meeting with your HR representative to learn about these. Also start off your investments right from the time of you first month salary. Investments safeguard your future as well as save the tax money of the present. Catch up for some coffee time with you father or uncles or seniors to learn about what kind of investments to go in for tax exemption and make the necessary ones ASAP. Store all these official documents in a safe place. Keep an eye on all the mails that you receive and consult your manager for any kind of trainings available for freshers and take them as early as possible.

I feel the above guidelines should help you build quite a good career as a fresher. For more information you can definitely contact me on is.mohanbn@gmail.com

Want to know about Datawarehousing?

As I am working in the IT industry I thought of taking up a technical topic for today's task of ABAD(A Blog A Day). I would be discussing about datawarehousing concept today. Datawarehousing comes under the umbrella of database management system ie DBMS. DBMS is one of the strongest counter-part of OS which together form a giant system architecture.

Information in this world is scattered in different places in different forms. If all these information can be collected and kept in one single space then it would be very easy for analysis. But how to get the information stored in different sources to one place? This is a big question to answer. Before proceeding further, if we accomplish the task of bringing all data from different sources into one system it will be very easy for analysis, very easy to compare different factors and supportive enough to take decisions based on the analysis. This is the concept and reason for datawarehousing on a generic note.

Getting into more technical depth, when data is stored in the tabular form we call them tables. Different tables consisting of different information when stored in one particular space it becomes a dataspace or a database. If many such dataspaces exist which have common information but in different structures of tables it will not be easy for us to compare them as table structures vary. At this point of time we model a standard structure of tables in a separate dataspace and trasfer all information from other dataspaces to this standard dataspace. This process is called datawarehousing.

The process of extracting data from source dataspaces into target dataspace such that data structure is modified to fit into the standard model is known as ETL(Extract-Transfer-Load). Once we do this we can see the data in standard tables of target tablespace using a reporting tool on a web-enabled interface. This concept of software products is used by big businesses to make decisions at the higher management levels. The revenue of such software products runs from millions to billions.

The extra-effect to your lifeSTYLE

12th december has been celebrated by many Thalaivar fans as the World Style Day. No doubt that billions of people all across the globe are impressed by Rajnikanth's unique style. Infact Rajni himself says that if he is the style king then Sivajiganeshan must be called as the style chakravarthy. Amitabh Bachchan is still remembered for his DON style though he is nearing 70. Rahul Dravid who very recently retired from cricket is very well known for his stylish stroke playing quotient.

Why am I talking about style so much? Why is this style so very stylish? Why are people so crazy when Rajnikanth just moves his head or hand? There are answers for each of these questions. Everyone of us have a particular style of walking, talking, eating, riding the vehicle etc. Then why doesn't any person appreciate my style of doing something? might be the question running on your mind currently. The answer is very simple. We havent made our style extraordinary enough than the ordinary. What do I mean by this? Here's a simple example that I had read from a newspaper. Everyone walks inside the room just by opening the door. But when the same scene was given to Rajnikanth, he used open the door, enter the room and close the door with his leg from back. This was the extra touch that he gave to ordinary action of opening the door. As a result he has the extraordinary style. Everyone watch movies and enjoy it, later forget it. I watch movies of multiple languages and learn the different languages. As a result I can converse in 6 different languages today. This is my style.

By adding extra to an ordinary work, we develop an extraordinary style that people will notice: Agreed, but why is that just a normal activity of celebrities gets so much attention? Once again the answer is simple enough. When you make one act of yours extraordinary, that extra-effect adds on to not just that act of yours but to your entire personality and from that time people start noticing it. More the number of people you display this extra touch of yours more will come to know of your style. When the propagation is sufficiently large enough, you will be identified with your style.

This blog of mine is from my observation of lot of people around me who have made their simple acts of those days great style today. Try giving some extra-touch to your daily activities. I am more than sure that you will develop a unique style for which you will be famous for. Who doesnt like to be SYLISH!!!!!!!!

Dekha tho tuje yaar dil mein baji guitar !.!.!.!.!

Dekha tho tuje yaar dil mein baji guitar !.!.!.!.!

This line from one of the old hindi songs aptly applies to everyone of us. Its so obvious that every living being is amused to see the muse in another of the same or similar kind. Every human being has the basic instinct of excitement whenever he/she comes across a new thing or new place or new person the degree of which may vary. When the excitement level reaches a particular level then you get the music inside that of the guitar. Then you say Dekha tho tuje yaar dil mein baji guitar !.!.!.!.!

Let me get a bit personal in this context. It was the time of school days upto 7th standard when everything was about play. Then started the high school followed by undergraduation wherein all focus was on studies, marks and ranks. Then came into engineering being at the verge of completing the teenage. This was the era of 4 years of transition from a schoolchild to an adult called the youth. Crush and love were the topics which were spoken more than the syllabus. Naturally it is the basic instinct at this age for any person to get attracted towards the opposite sex.

'Love at first sight' was a theorem unproved for every single. Most of us were striving hard to prove it. Thank God! that we failed most of the times. A glimpse of a beautiful face would make my smile bigger than before. Infatuation was the word given to this feeling. Nothing to feel guilty about it. I would take it positively because the next one hour I would be more energetic, more enthusiatic and less sleepy for sure. Another smiling face in the corridor would rise the music volume inside the mind, sorry inside the heart. Goosebumps were bound to occur whenever there was a chance to converse with good looking girls. White skin-u; girl-u come-u, mind-u reverse-u gear-u was the suitable line for a lunch break because girls from bio-tech department also used to come to the canteen. Every gorgeous girl would make the butterflies fly inside me. I was confused as to what to name this feeling. Then I decided when you have a feeling just FEEL it, dont think about it, sometimes brain loses connection with the heart. At the end of 4 years I could list out names of atleast 4 to 5 beauties from every department of my college catching just a glimple of whom my heart would start with - Dekha tho tuje yaar dil mein baji guitar !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!

I know that the above story of mine is the same as those of many youth all across the globe. Lets go to the next level of this feeling. As I said before, the basic instinct of every human is excitement and happiness upon seeing anything or anyone which or who is more exciting to look at. A child's heart starts singing for a doll. A dog's heart starts singing for a bone. A boy's heart starts singing for a girl. A mother's heart starts singing for her baby's smile. A father's heart starts singing for his children's success. Everywhere around us there are people just seeing whom our energy states can rise high enough that we become more active. Lets take the feeling from them and put the energy into work to become more productive.

A human works for other humans dependant on him/her. A human achieves success to show off among humans. A human interacts with another human for every basic necessity of life. If our entire lifestyle has been designed so by the Almighty that every moment we are surrounded by people for sure then lets make the best of use of it. Try to spot out those interesting people just seeing whom or just talking to whom or just walking with whom you would be more happy and excited. As this number increases the impulses of smile and the vigour of taste for life keep increasing which will make the life a delicious meal to savour.

Make sure that you meet eye to eye with a person atleast once in an hour in your daily life at the point of which you heart rings the bell - Dekha tho tuje yaar dil mein baji guitar !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!
