Just casual talks .. are sometimes remembered forever..

Some such words from 'my people' that impressed or influenced me..

"Everynight before you have your dinner.. Ask yourself what new you've learnt or done today.. If you don't get answer, don't eat."

-Sri Durga Prasad, PGT Physics, JNVP

I was in my 7th standard when he told this in class.. I liked it and used to implement.. I had to take a heavy dinner daily then.. haha :-) But now.. I feel I should fast.

"You take up too many tasks at a time. Thou you are able, that way you end up day with only 4 or 5 tasks completely done and others pending. Instead do one task at a time.. your output would be very high"

-Sri Ravi Kumar, IRTS, Sr DCM/SC
..during my tenure at SrDCM/SC Office as in-charge of IT

True, unlike computers, context switching time is a big overhead for humans. So too much of multitasking raises stress.

"You explore a hundred ways of doing a thing and get confused in selecting one"

- Sandhya, my senior in VCRC

Exploring is still my way.. but so called confusion has gone forever.

"You don't know how to prioritize things"

- Sandhya, my senior in VCRC

I think I have learnt it by now, though not perfect.

"'నా సొంతం' అని నిజంగా నమ్మకం ఉన్నప్పుడు ఆది పోతుందన్న భయం ఉండదు రా!"

-Rajesh, my friend
..on a discussion over possessiveness

"One who sleeps for more than 5 hours at high times of building his career.. is criminally killing time"

-Jayaraj, my senior in VCRC

Then and now.. I'm just the same.. I follow him.

"A rupee in mobile can at times be more valuable than a 100 in hand. Keep it"

-Sundeep, my friend

..when I used to ask him why he always looked for PCOs without using mobile I had

.. and very quickly i had a time which stamped this statement in my mind :-)
