Thoughtful

The article today in business time by Mr. Subroto Gochi about Life and Contradictions really made me ponder that as we grow big do things really become more contradictory or its our living style that makes us live in contradictions to define morality or is it inducing flexibility to make things easier. He spoke of spilling ink on table and cleaning it with a cloth which would transfer the dirt (ink) on to the cloth so the table is cleaned but the cloths dirty, but what if we spill water on it so that ink losses its color, removing dirt and killing dirt are two different things, true when you take up something two things come up, that is what you demand and what that something demands, if they clash that’s when your principles come into action and compromising on those principles defines contradictions, True you could talk of certain ironies in life that is the one who build big bungalows, buildings are the ones who live in huts ,the cars that are meant for comfort driving are chauffeur driven, But then there’s another side of this too when one works for a system and then a clash comes then what does one do, lets pickup the anecdote given by him ,if a person comes to you asking for automation and high technology end for his tobacco industry, what would one choose to do? Take business (for System) or guide him not to do such a thing (personal end) because tobacco could claim life. What do you do quit job for this one customer of yours as you feel you are helping someone in a not so human cause or accept this and continue as the other 9 of your 10 projects have never made you compromise on ethics. What does one do? Guess contradictions defines ones life dunno Lets just leave things on this paradoxical note.

Today I happened to speak to a friend of mine leaving to Kolkata for IBM, Dunno why it made me think of the other two guys who stay with him, I still remember one of them saying “we have not sought eachother” but yes we fear how our new roomie would be? Would the vibes match? To my observation these 3 guys happen to share a good rapo and the kolkata guy being the center of their fun, in case they are bored. Its strange that you get to meet someone, knowing that person takes time, relating to him takes still more, understanding far more and by the time you have learnt to heartly smile at eachother because you have found a friend the time to leaqve comes. Dunno if this defines their relationship but this does define my stay in Banglore (with these 3 guys) for 3 months…whose thoughts for some strange reason bring a smile on my face. It kinds of makes me feel because when I next go to Bangalore he wont be there. And may be with time neither the 2 who already are…What if time and Tide had learnt to wait? Guess then we would have failed to respect them.
