Surpassing

Days roll on and thoughts keep flashing. The ceaseless urge to break the routine and getting ahead of oneself gets bigger and better. We have to agree that the world is transforming with you and me, re-organizing and evolving. We are getting more practical with customs, practices and ideas. Rationalizing and isolating facts and applying them is part of everybody's life. Pushing the boundaries is in the agenda of most of us. As an Engineer, am required to design and build new modules, understand the cause-effects, scrutinize the system behaviour and improvise. The analogical and lateral thinking adds a powerful dimension to any project. It's like an introspecting and self-correcting system always working its way forward.

Think about it. Why else would I stay up late saying all this? Meri barah baj gayi. Signing off.

Primer on personal communication

Surprisingly this is one the most ignored aspects of our day-to-day interactions. There are various terms to name this ad hoc phenomenon. Banter, chatter, ice breaking, etc. Not everybody would find this interesting but by far (in my opinion) this is a great way of setting a backdrop for interests, expectations, trust and good will. There are no rules in general. It can start with a casual remark and may go all the way till friendships. No do's and dont's. It helps a lot being yourself and just let the conversation flow along. No time or scope or limits, it can keep going on and on. What works the best is being candid and being true to yourself. Like this blog, I think it will be mostly without an agenda to start with. It goes on and on about sharing various thoughts on life-style, family, friends, interests, beliefs, work, wit, humour... blah-blah. What is interesting is the way each conversation builds up. I'm sure each of us are capable in our own ways for driving this talk. My numerous conversations with co-passengers, colleagues, neighbours, business partners, friends or cousins each are unique and special in their own way. More than the verbal, the non-verbal cues have loads to say. A half minded grin of a new person in the lift, a frowned cashier in a busy counter, a pink smile that springs from a blushing girl, are some memories that come to me. So, dear readers, never mind! Keep communicating. All you need to do is to simply (!?) speak your heart out! That's a mini explanation for my animated grin. :-)
