The Contrasting faces of Nature

I have recently been visiting some sites and seeing some great work done by the camera or rather the bperson behind it.....

Just thought to bring forth two contrasting views of the city called Mumbai......

The first is a view of Gate way of India on my way back from Elephenta Caves at Dusk... The Sun can been seen shining on the wall of gateway of India....


The second snap is of the landscape between Neral & Matheran taken from the toy train on way to Matheran at Dawn... There was lot of cloud and drizzle.. But suddenly the clouds cleared and this view came infront of our eyes.. A view which gives the feel that the mountains have been just washed.....

Well the camera used was a simple Yashica Camera with auto focus....

Sometimes I feel I could almost catch what I wanted to....
But there are days when I close my eyes and relive these beauties of nature, I feel a lot got left out and there is a long way to go before I would be able to capture the main essence of nature.....

But still donno why.. these snaps never fail to amaze me on the vastness and versetality of nature....

Well yes Nature IS amazing!

Work Place Politics!

Politics! A word that brings a frown on almost everyones face.... A dirty game we all watch and comment with all our heart and mind but don't want to get into....

Something similar goes for politics in a workplace scenario only difference is we can't stay away from it.
The reason.. purely selfish... If you don't get in there someone else will steal the limelight.
I don't understand that why can't people just get on with there respective work, but I guess thats the only thing they do'nt know how to do.
So in order to cover up this important deficiency they work on their "Strengths"...

In the process they tend to walk over many genuine people leaving a feeling of discontenment...

So with my experience of life and corporate world.. I have learned a very very important leasson.......
BALANCE.. Yes Balance.. If you can work out the correct receipe of working with pride and appreciation where the main ingredients are work and power politics, then you have hit the bulls eye dude....

I guess I am learning the ropes of getting there to maintain this 'healthy' balance between work and politics...

I feel like applauding myself for this 'achivement' for 'improving' from an obsessed workaholic to my current level...
But sometimes I feel that I am abusing my cababilities and intelligent but then reconcile by thinking that you win some you lose some..

I donno if I am right or wrong..

Time has been my best healer and time will tell....

Job Search Oh My God!!!

Hey!!!
I never knew job search could be so neck breaking...
I have been working for quite sometime to think that I have see a lot of the corporate world... Even have shifted jobs few times with no hassles.. They were always there before I asked for it.. In short a pretty easy going life for me.. Then one day somethjing happened and boom my life changed I resigned with no other job in hand....And my search for an "Ideal Job" started....
It has been about six months n I'm still searching for that "Ideal Job" which I once had......
The other day an article on the front page of the newspaper made me laugh for a long time n people around me actually thought that I have gone insane under the pressure of trying to look for a job!Actually the article was about the dialemma faced by companies looking for "deserving" candidates to take in... It said there are lots of jobs ready to be grabed enough number of resumes flowing in but not enough number of deserving candidates....
Well here I was one of the so called "deserving candidate"( a name given to me by my previous employers) without a job of my liking!..Or was it that I had become once upon a time deserving candidate.. and that was not good enough anymore..I donno... well but my search for a good job is still on.. well sometime i think the terms we use are so subjective.. like desrving, good etc etc....
Well another bright day tomorrow lets see what does it have in store for me....
