Abhi’s Philofunda of the day – You only get what you deserve. Want more? Steal your neighbor’s share.

Well, this is gonna be one philo blog entry you’ve read in ur life..

First things first… Due apologies to all the folks in hyd for meeting you guys up.. Things were pretty hectic that day.. Anyways, I guess oracle had other plans for you..

Today, I've learnt the most valuable lesson of my life.. The only thing you can be certain about is uncertainty.

Picture this..

I attend a two-week grueling training course.. In which – surprising – I did OK. I mean I dint screw any of the labs. I could answer few of the instructor’s questions.. After a pretty long time, I had got back into the thick of things as far profession goes.

I came into office today morning, with all the sprit in earth – like I'm going to take over Sikander in a one-to-one combat.. But, I flash forward to reality.. The only emails I had received during this 2-week period were “Good Bye”, “My Last Day” and “Keep in touch” etc, very similar to the peoplesoft phase.

It is a known phenomenon that the world is become a specialized playground.. There is a rather high benchmark to the number and quality of players that it can accommodate. The result – the big players are buying out the smaller ones.. The smaller players are actually being paid to simply stop playing and quit the field. This is all fine. The global economy needs Bigger, Better and Bitchier organizations to move on, to innovate, to excel – above all, to be able to contribute better to the society.

But what I hate is the void that goes on during the process. They decide whether the smaller players are going to sit in the stands and JUST watch the action, whether they are going to behind the play line and give in only their ideas? Or are they going to lock heads with the big daddies and get mauled?

I dont care wht happens to which company.. All I can now think about is about my decision to move over to Bangalore.

Whoever said - There is always a better tomorrow – must have surely been drinking.
