Don't Copy if you Can't paste

A popular Motivational speaker(Well D name is Mr. jawahar lal Nehru) was entertaining his audience. He said:
"The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my
wife!"

The audience was in silence and shock.

The speaker added: "And that woman was my mother!"
Laughter and applause continued!

A week later, a top manager trained by the motivational speaker tried to
crack this very effective joke at home.

He was a bit foggy after a drink.
He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a
woman who was not my wife!"
The wife went furious with shock and rage.
Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke,
the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was!!!!"


Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste!

People who Shaped me.........

THE PEOPLE WHO SHAPED ME.




The other day I got asked a question that got me stumped and thinking. The question was this. Who are the three people who have inspired you? It sent me hurtling down memory lane…and a long lane that is…. knocking briefly on one door , shaking my head… no… not that one.. yes she attracted me.. yes he impressed me..but inspire? Now that’s a special word.



Inspiration is a life enhancer, to me it is a turning point where someone takes you by the hand and walks you on to a different path and says walk…. fear not… it will be for the better.



Being the cynical soul that I am, it was difficult to be inspired by many people. When I look back, there was more kidding than greatness. There was definitely a lot of support from some in power, a lot of love given and reciprocated but inspiration is another dimension.


So the names that surfaced to mind were:


KIRAN KUMAR


Educationists, thinker, boss, friend. A lecturer of P.D.M Polytechnic Bahadurgarh. where I did my diploma in Electronics and Communication Engineering..


When I met Kiran Sir, I had been a student not good in studies. The Professors used to say He cant do anything.


But Learning was a passion that engaged me totally.


Kiran Sir never actively taught me anything more than the syllabus. He had a zero interference policy but He was watchful. I learnt from him to delegate. If he had a criticism he would say it when we were studying and end it with a smile that often brought tears to my eyes. I learnt from him a generosity of spirit. A teacher is a giver. There is place for everyone. Teachers are big hoarders. I learnt from him the blessing of giving.


I held his praise in high regard. he would share with me stuff that other teachers said about me. he would mention me to people. he would mention me as one of his best in studies. he would send me out for prestigious assignments. So simple and yet so profound.


I learnt from Kiran Sir you don’t have to heap money and praise to reward people, you need to be sincere, to share information, to show that you value the person. I am so different from Kiran Sir –he was soft spoken in the extreme – I am not,. Those who work well With me have every freedom, those who don’t, I let go – yes that too I learnt from him.


Kiran Sir and I had spent some good Moments togeher. Now he is Head of Department in the same college.



Kiran Sir… was, is, and will be an inspiration.




The second person who comes to mind is:


YOGESH MISHRA SIR


Mishra Sir is senior lecturer of Electronics Engineering at the BRCM College of Engineering and Technology Bahal Bhiwani(Haryana) where I did my B.E., my first degree in education.


A Person from Uttar pradesh.. very good teacher, Fun loving. Again soft spoken and calm.


Mishra sir was an excellent teacher. Clarity was the key. And engagement. Eye contact, interest in the audience, organization of matter. He showed me how one needs to get into the mind of the student or a person. Be it. That was a big education.



Her accent, although thoroughly Indian, was impeccable.


I learnt from her that you need to have depth. ‘Knowledge is Power’ he once said to me and I have never forgotten. It is indeed. It is the foundation for a lot of courage and fortitude. He always said Communication skills doesn't matter if you are having very good basics.


From Mishra sir I learnt how the foundation was important, In our college ours was the first batch who conducted a course on PCB Designing. I learnt to be an independent thinker and have the confidence to be a creator of ideas.



Meanwhile, I have learnt from lots of people what not to do. My observation of others in the profession was a good handbook on how not to be a disaster. That too was learning.


And the third?




It is a filling of the varied influences of authors, poets, movies, theatre and people in many walks of life. From my parents and my friends I have learnt to value honesty and integrity. That is another source of immense strength.


From the virtual world many friends, my dearest being Anshu for her erudition, her generosity and her unconditional affection. I never thought a girl sitting just next to me in a train journey will be soo good friend of mine. She taught me a lot.



Well, if I die tomorrow, I have acknowledged my debt to the various people who filled my life with joy and purpose.

How people thinks....

This is real incident which happened with me during my Diploma time in 2001

I was in a train. it was crowded, even air had no place to stand there.

I was lucky that i got a seat . but i was sitting not with any comfort.

A girl of about 12, was sitting by my side.she looked poor, tired,even sick.

her eyes were sad.

as if a lost sparrow had been trapped here.

she was feeling suffocated,she surely wanted some rest.

she was getting sleepy, so she rested her head on my shoulder and went to sleep instently.

I let her rest, i did not want to disturb her.

I thought , if my sister had been so much tired, i would have taken all care to give her comfort.

she was like my sister.

so she slept on my shoulder with some comfort .

A man opposite me was looking at us, all the time.i did not like his eyes.

-"maja karo" - he said to me, with a crooked smile.

at that moment , this poor girl woke up and stood up . she must have heard these cruel words..

i saw tears in her eyes.

Before i could say a word to her, she touched my feet and

went towards the door of the compartment, to get down on the coming station..

I looked hard at the man with anger.

i thought, how people get dirty minds. that night i could not able to sleep.
