networks and omkara

With 8 years of work ex, I have changed some 8 jobs… I can hardly preach on stability. The skew is even more if you consider 5 years in Kotak itself (in two stints). But one positive fall out of the same is the bloody network. The sheer number of people you know and meet over different jobs is enormous. And if add the 500 odd students I have taught over the few years, the network is BIIIIGGGG. Positive side – go to any mall and you meet someone you know, negative – impossible to cheat on wife!!!
In any case, I always believe it these networks that count in the long run. The value of network increases in geometric progression to the number of people in it. And this network will really be of any value if you are truly genuine and helpful to others in it. [nishkaam karma anyone!!!] People are not dumb. They see thru shitty people, they avoid liars and they hate schmoozers. If they don’t like you, they avoid you when they see you. Evil shit is soon alone evil shit.
So even if you cant do too much good try not to do any harm. Some people will like you some wont, but atleast you wont have too many people hating your guts. Operative words – too many. There will always be some dickheads, jealous shit and insecure chappies who will not like you just becoz you are either too nice or little successful or friendly or just whatever. Ignore those bastards, they don’t count for shit in your life.
May the network be with you.

I have found another use of the team jackets in office. They came in handy today when someone else wore the same shirt as me today. Bach gaya – the jacket was on whole day.

Also with the current look, I have been getting remarks like abhishek bachhan wannabe, shryas talpade, (worst one) himesh reshamiya, mangal pandey (no real connection), or the one I like – Omkara (saif ali). You judge.. photo is attached…. and yes - the sleepy look is for the intense look!!!!!
