UNMASKING OF ME...


This is not the first time I have become aware of the many faces, I keep on changing with time and space.

But perhaps for the first time I have decided to spend some time in reviewing skill I have acquired over time without any conscious effort.

Something, I have learnt beyond textbooks. What I found stunned me, the proficiency and I was really stunned by the proficiency I have achieved in it.

What if I stop using these skills?

What if I tear them apart?

What if I put on the face that is really mine?

Will the people in my sphere of influence accept me as it is now?

Will the relations I have now remain intact?

Or will my life be formatted like a floppy drive?

But which one of these thousands of faces is mine?

SAYONARA!

"Yuji San! Are you happy?" asks Frank. (San is the Japanese equivalent of Mr.). Yuji looks at the space in front in a meditative mood (as if he is trying to work out whether he is happy or not). Then he draws a typical big Japanese smile on his face that reflects extreme happiness and shake head heavily, "Yes, Yes"(the second yes to confirm the first yes). This would set all five of us into a roaring laughter. This was the second time I met with Frank. He is 67 and a manager of a European auto giant. He works till 2 O'clock in the night (!) and gets up at 6 in the morning. In spite of that I have never seen him dozing off on a ride as long as four hours. I also have never heard him raising his voice to express dissatisfaction. His silence was enough to set all of us into motion to correct what ever mistake made or occurred. However his voice shakes everything around when he is happy, when he laughs. Yuji is an engineer. As it happens with almost all Japanese, Yu...

I AM WATCHING YOU...

It's the talk of the office now. We are uneasy, working under the ever-inspecting eyes of the cameras installed at the corners of the office floors. Bloody intruders! “What they are trying to convey?" "Simply that you are under scanner. So you are to ensure that you are maintaining the decorum of the office." "But was that not the way things were going in the office before? I have never heard some one doing something unwarranted in the office space." "Why have you forgotten that walls elevators were converted to graffiti boards?" "Some one with a freaky mind must have done that but that does not mean that you will indict every one for that incident." "Why do not you just ignore them? If you are doing nothing that is questionable, why should you bother about those cameras? You will just get familiar to it in a few days." Logically it's true. Unless you are not wrong, you need not worry about the laws and restrictions. But ho...
