Shortcut to success

Who said that you cannot have a shortcut to success?

Follow these 4 simple steps to get a shortcut to success :

1. Open your system and go to D drive
2. Right click and create a new folder and name it as "Success"
3. Right click on the folder and select the option "Send to - Desktop, create shortcut"
4. Go to the desktop and lo, staring you there is the shortcut to success.

Is there a better way?

Moment of truth

Crushing deadlines,
Unending meetings,
Stretched targets,
Customer fulfillments,
Team disagreements,
Boss's mandates.

Life just sucked....

Breaking news: 150 people killed in terrorist attack in Mumbai.

I m happy to be alive.

Feelings

I hate him to the core. His smile, laugh, personality, style, behavior, conduct, conversation.....everything.

I look for an opportune moment to tell him straight in his face. That he just sucks.... That he could very well go to hell than to exist in front of me. Tell him just point blank, harder than a slap.

I can hear his voice right now. The revolting tone of his voice, the nauseating timbre of his speech....

I can hear his words more clearly now.. talking to some one animatedly.... fragments of their conversation float in the air... that I am the meanest person to walk on earth, that he prefers me to be dead than to move around in front of his eyes.....

Suddenly, life is full of shocks!

Prayer answered

When I was ten, my mother used to wash my hair as a part of my bathing ritual. One could hear her complain daily that my hair was becoming unmanageable and that the good Lord could have given more brains inside the skull instead of more hair outside it. With all innocence and naivety, I used to pray Him to take away the hairs and give more brains instead!

The prayers are answered.. albeit a bit late and only partially.

Now I am forty and when I see my bald head in the mirror, I see that my prayers have been answered. He has taken away my hair faithfully but didnt quite succeed in increasing the brain part. Now I am praying to Him for more hair and brains.
