Once a King called upon all of his wise men and asked them,"Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every
circumstance, in every place and in every time. Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me. Tell me is there any mantra?" All wise men got puzzled by King's question. One answer for all questions? Something that works everywhere, in every situation? In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? They thought and thought.
After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested something which appealed to all of them. They went to the king and gave him something
written on paper. But the condition was that king was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself
alone and there seems to be no way, only then he'll have to see it.The King put the papers under his Diamond ring.
After a few days, the neighbors attacked the Kingdom. It was a collective surprise attack of the King's enemies. King and his army
fought bravely but lost the battle. King had to fled on his horse. The enemies were following him. His horse took him far away in the Jungle.
He could hear many troops of horses following him and the noise was coming closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing at the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it, he would be finished.and he could not return because it was a small road. The sound of enemy's horses was approaching fast. King became restless. There seemed to be no way.
Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond and read the message. The message was very small but very great. The message was – " This too will pass."
The King read it. Again read it. Suddenly something struck him- Yes!  It too will pass. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my kingdom. I
was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today, the Kingdom and all his pleasure have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. However when those days of luxuries have gone, this day of danger too will pass. Calm come on his face.He kept standing there. The place where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom. The revelation of the message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forgot about those following him.
After a few minutes he realized that the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the
mountains and were not on that path. The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and
regained his lost empire. When he returned to his empire after victory, he was received with much fan fare at the door. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being thrown on the King from every house, from every
corner. People were dancing and singing. For a moment King said to himself," I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to
defeat me.: With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerging in him.Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He opened it and read it again: "This too will pass" He became silent. His face went through a total change -from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness.If this too is going to pass, it is not yours.The defeat was not yours, the
victory is not yours.You are just a watcher. Everything passes by We are witness of all this. We are the perceiver. Life comes and goes.Happiness comes and goes. Sorrow comes and goes.
Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own life.. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think
of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent? They all come and pass away. Life just passes away. There were friends in the past. They have gone. There are friends today. They too will go. There will be new friends tomorrow.. They too will go. There were  nemies in the past. They have gone. There may be enemies in the present. They too will go. There will be new enemies tomorrow and..they too will go.
There is nothing permanent in this world. Every thing changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all the changes. You have survived all setbacks, all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away. If there are problems in the
present, they too will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass
away.
Who are you in reality? Know your real face. Your face is not your true face. It will change with the time. However, there is something
in you, which will not change. It will remain unchanged. What is that unchangeable? It is nothing but your true self. You are just a witness
of change.

EAGLE can live up to 70 years, but to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision in its' 40's

Its' long & flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food, Its' long & sharp beak becomes bent

Its' old-aged & heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, become stuck to its' chest & make it difficult to fly

Then eagle is left with only 2 options: die or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.

The process requires that eagle fly to a mountain & the eagle knocks its' beak against a rock until it plucks it out

After this, eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back. When its' new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking its' old-aged feathers & after 5 months, eagle can take its' flight of rebirth & lives for 30 more years

Moral of Story...

Many times, in order to survive, we have to start a change process. We sometimes need to get rid of Old memories, habits & other past traditions. Only freed from past Burdens, we can take advantage of the present. So lets Change for a better tomorrow!!!

 

Today I completed all the exit formalities with Proteans ..the company which I loves more and which I feels like home.

 

The best company I come across in my 5 yrs of my software experience.

 

I really loved it .. enjoyed working with Proteans.

 

For joining Proteans I waited for 2 yrs.Then got the oppurtunity to join there.

 

I am specially telling thanks to Sudhakar and Prashant Singh who always listened my words and read my mails even in their busy schedules.

 

I met the best PM and the best architect. Thanks Prakash J and Sendhil. Really helped me in understanding the passion about technology.

 

Proteans gave offer letter to me on Jan 16th 2007 but I took nearly 2 months for joining Proteans.

At that time I bargained with that offer letter. Really my attitude is like that.

But now after working there my attitude has changed. Its trust and honesty matters. And the technology ...

Yes Proteans built me both mentally and technically.

Thanks PJ,Sendhil,Murugan, Ashish Kakani,Venkat,Deepak Trama,Prashant Sharma for all your support.

Last 4 months I am at the peak of my career. Wrote articles on SharePoint,GreatPlains,CMS. Got good response on Sharepoint. More download.

I am not that much good in facing audience.But I gave session in Bdotnet.

I worked in CRM,GP,Sharepoint,3.5.

 

Last 15 days are really tough for me.

 

I couldnt able to digest atleast for 10 days.

 

I love technology. I love attending techical sessions. I love Proteans.

 

PJ and Sudhakar had taken interview for me 2 yrs back.

PJ said thanks to me for coming to the interview 30 mins. That day is Saturday and he is very busy with new project ClientProfiles.

I cleared that round. He asked so many questions starting from .net, wcf,wwf,wpf and then NUnit, and UML.

Then Sudhakar asked a question regarding SMARTCLIENTS.

I thought CEO round is like managerial round. I told something which is not fully correct. He told the reason when to go for smart clients.

Really impressed. After taking the offer letter I was very scared if CEO is this much technically strong then how the team members will be.. Thats why taken more time to join Proteans. I went 2 times to speak with PJ regarding the project before joining Proteans. 

I done a good job by accepting that offer. It has changed my life , my approach of reaching technology..

 

Thanks Preejith (HR) for giving this oppurtunity.

I got offer letter from Proteans

Actually that time I saved Proteans phone numbers and have not taken Preejith calls.I am doing bargaining with other companies.

But Preejith came in a new way.He told her friend from other company to call me.I took the call and told that I want more package

than Proteans.

I went to Proteans to meet PJ for knowing the project before joining Proteans.He told me nicely.

Preejith came there and told the above that I am not taking his call and looking for another offer.

Sorry.

Thanks Preejith and Proteans for a nice wonderful journey there for more than 2.5 yrs.

 

Got good friends : Mohan , Gaurav, Saai, Ashish Tripati, Shiddu, Deepak Trama ,

 

Thanks Srini, Sudarshan, Vikram, Sreejith for your support.

 

FOCUS is the mantra...
