It is something which we all have....something that is there on every check...every letter every mail and virtually anything that we write...It is the tiny little thing right at the very bottom called "Signature".
It is fascinating, conveys unseen thoughts and emotions and reveals your persona like you are an open book. If there is a toss up between "Signature" and "Handwriting" as to which reveals a persons behavior better, signatures would win hands down....reason....writing is influenced by the several thoughts that run wild in the human mind which often tend to cause variations while Signature, is free from such frequent variations hence it's more reliable.
Reading signature is not an art but an occult science. While some signatures are very beautiful and linear there are some which are irregular and shabby...the point!!! it is not necessary that the personality matches your signature...a person with a beautiful signature is said to be cruel and dangerous and a person having an irregular signature is said to be very courageous and kind.
That being said....analyzing the letters alone does not provide basis to judge the personality traits completely.
Personality is not "created" through Signatures, it is "exuded" through the signatures. It is possible to change one’s personality by espousing virtuous attitude towards life and self-refinement.

Is the grass is always greener on the other side....
One often comes across....
The more happier neighbor....
the more successful senior....
The more popular lawyer...
the techy computer engineer...
The richer ... more Popular...
the gold card member....
the frequent flier...
makes us wonder....
is the grass on the other side greener???
and then we take the boat to the other side....
the more greener side...
and what is that we find with our eyes opened wide....
alas!!!
the other side ....
the side that looked a lot less greener
looks more greener....
The more happier neighbor....
the more successful senior....
The more popular lawyer...
the techy computer engineer...
The richer ... more Popular...
the gold card member....
the frequent flier...
makes us wonder....
is the grass on the other side greener???
and then we take the boat to the other side....
the more greener side...
and what is that we find with our eyes opened wide....
alas!!!
the other side ....
the side that looked a lot less greener
looks more greener....

Where's God...
A young man, stuck in no mans land desperate to return to his hometown on time for his marriage only to be helped by complete strangers suddenly comes across something that really amazes him...one of the so called stranger looks at the young man weeping and visibly shaken after being witness to a tragedy...the young man distraught and clearly overcome with emotions questions "Is there a god???" the stranger just looks at him and with smile replies....yes....he is right here....and points to the young man himself...and explains...when your heart feels for someone whom you don't even know....that is the place where god resides....
Now that might sound as though it is lifted from a movie (when infact it is...for those of you who did not realize...the movie Anbe Sivam...the Young Man Madhavan...the stranger Kamal hasan)...
This has had a lot of impact in my life and the way i see everything and everyone... We spend a lot of time doing stuff that gives us pleasure....hell we even do things which is a complete waste of time n resource....why not sit and think "have i touched someone's life that it has changed forever ???, Have i made a difference to someone's life??? Will someone look at me and go...."the heart that's inside of you is where god lives???"
I dunno about others...but I have been fortunate that i have had people in my life looking at whom today i can say..."your heart is where god is...." these guys have helped in many ways to overcome things from a simple confusion to riding the tough times when i was in a place full of strangers...from facing an interview...preparing for the final...job search...to even issues with people around me....if not for them life sure would have been difficult....am not gonna say thank you....no...no...that would just be too easy....i am just gonna ensure that i am there for them when they need me....just like how they have been there for me...
I can see god in you....what can i do my friend...
I bow to you with respect...what else can i do my friend....

Life..It's all about how see it...
Some recent events have reminded me...
"Getting something that you want makes you happy...."
"The more important something is to you,the more you tend to just hold on to it and not let go...."
"When something is not changed,it just ceases to exist...."
"You can be afraid of anything,but, never be afraid to stop being afraid!! Will you ever achieve anything if your afraid???...."
"It does not matter which direction you are going as long as you know where you wanna go cuz then whichever direction you take wouldn't matter,you will get there mebbe late but you will get there...."
"Imagining that you reached where you wanted to reach will lead you down the path to salvation..."
"The reason why past is called history is cuz half of us don't care, an the rest of us don't remember..."
"Don't slide down on the snake that is your past,it's a ladder, use it an climb, success is just a roll away...."
"The only person stopping you is you..."
Crawl when you wanna Standstill...Walk when you wanna Crawl...Run When you wanna Walk...drive when you wanna run...

Its not "IT Reveloution"....but "IT Revelation"....
It's really inspiring how Indian Software firms always seem to bag all the international projects...well of course its cuz of all the knowledge, skill and talent that we have...No one can compete with US....everywhere around the world when there is a need for any software to be developed or worked on its our guys....
I was wondering if it is really this or could there be something behind the scene which is literally putting the projects in our pockets...
after six hours of mindless googling...cracking with numbers for another hour...I came up with a interesting business model,which could be the plain reality which is so apparent it makes me wonder are we really that ignorant... It’s kinda simple really...
Your "average joe",a software engineer with 5 years of experience at abracadabra.com specializing in "pinto beans" and "servelets" would be paid around $40/hr (again average...cuz its average joe...your above average joe could be getting more)or about $320 in an 8 hour day, and $7040 for the month, and $84480 for the year.
Now, our hero "super santanam" from Insatcro,the 5th largest IT firm from India, is sent on project to US...he is over the moon and is so proud that he is coming to the US to work....wohoo...big treat for friends at TAJ...an gets on Kuwait Airlines to the US...(an exciting route....Chennai....Mumbai....Kuwait...Qatar...Timbuktu...California...New York ofcourse the ticket sponsored by the company....so a free tour of the world on his way to US).
He lands and is pretty excited the first two days...his Picasa is flooded with new photos taken right next to Lady Liberty....n every single building u can find in Big apple...
finally its time to get to work at "Clients Place"...now our super santanam works in place of Average Joe....gives him a run for his money an completes about double the work in half the time....
a month into the project....Super santy (yea Santanam is now Santy baby!!!!) gets his first American Pay check... A charge about $20.00 an hour, thats 160 for a day (he works for 16 Hours ....8 hours for US 8 hours for co-ordinating with team back at Insatcro...but ofcourse gets paid only for 8hours man come on what more did u expect)...so if my math is right....our santy gets $3520 for the month or $42240 for the year...ofcourse he spends for his apartment....food....travel...cell phone...Long distance calling card...an everything.....ends up with how much..well lets not get there....don't wanna spoil the fun now....
So with Super Santy abracadabra has saved approximately 42,000 a year....but ofcourse santy would feel homesick so give him company....insatcro sends 9 of his friends to "face" similar "exciting" and "rewarding" client experience...
so net result....thats about $420,000 for abracadabra....and their work is done....and they have people feeling really proud of their US Experience..
It is But Obvious....Uncle Sam is not the only place where this would apply....In Europe, the "average jack" is paid more than Average joe, owing to a costlier lifestyle... So, the our "super santy" bags the European projects as well!....
Now this is just my idea.....could it be this is what is the real thing??? Are our people being Used....If so...why are we putting up with this....knowing fully well that we are being exploited why do our tech guys take to such things like fish to water....the "Sweatshops" only come to mind....the situation is pretty similar..low pay...hard(I din't wanna use Inhuman even though that's what i should have used) working conditions...no real development...no real change in work pattern...monotonous work....Boyyyy....we run one super techy highly motivated Sweatshop don't we.....
We have conquered Land of the Braves...now off to save the Falling Bridge... my fair lady (get it remember London Bridge is Falling down.....)

What When Who Why????
Think:
Who would you rather be??
Someone who is Technically Sound but Lacks Applicability or Someone who is Street Smart but not technically sound!
What would you rather do??
Put all your money in a Bank or Invest it in the stock market
Why would you do something??
'Cuz you wanna do it or everyone expects you to do it
When would you feel good??
Do something for someone even before they ask or you are called when someone needs something
Who do you want by your side?
Someone who is selfish or someone who is untrustworthy
What would you rather have??
90 Dollars today or 100 dollars in one year's time!
Why do you want to Smile??
It's natural or Just to make someone else smile
When do you feel bad??
When you fail or when you give up...
