Here comes my languid elegance to the fore.

I am a lazy person. Inherently lazy. I prefer it calling languid elegance. Guess I was a big fan of Azhar(Until Hansie Cronje broke down and spilled the beans) and his effortless game.
Lazy people aren’t successful generally unless they get everything on platter, but there is something what stands out. Lazy(or languid as I prefer ‘em calling) are generally not too much interested in worldly affairs and most of turmoils have nothing to do with ‘em. Creating furor isn’t their cup of tea or you may say it’ not the sector where they like to chart out. Lazy people won’t budge whatever you do, laziness runs in your genes or so feel. Sorry for unveiling your family traits my lazy brethren, but can’t help it.
I find these fanatics (be it Laden or Bush making a distinction is tough) the real workaholic, seems they are the ones with some real job at hand and worse they have to finish it in a squeezed time frame.
Sorry for deviating from already aah pretty long trudged (u may not agree) path.
Laziness and unrealized talent generally work in tandem (sadly hardly they work).
I find it futile to go on, just to strengthen some brawny points.
Just wanted to reveal something, this one almost took 25 days to write this much.
This lazy man was burdened with some grinding job…
Nice men will inherit the earth, so says the bible. Will they have this languid streak in them is something I would yearn to know. Leisurely pace that I have embraced won’t let me go further, another uncharacteristic denouement to one another subject, I sauntered to broach.

What makes you smile at the fag end..

UNIX is truly amazing. I am still coming to grips with this powerful Operating System (As we so called geeks prefer to call it). Yesterday I learnt few tricks of trade (I trade in UNIX commands u know). I had this nasty habit of exhibiting nonchalance towards people earning their bread (alas our company doesn’t provide any butter scurry over for a new company if you yearn for liberal spreads of butter my dear). But yesterday as I learnt few things after such a long time, I felt humbled. There is a lot to learn. I would be brutally frank; I always feel there isn’t much scope for learning in my project.
Candid revelations damage you a lot and I am ready to suffer…
But as they say no job is good or bad, it’s the one who does it. So it’s me or you who do a job atrociously or handsomely (tempted to put gorgeously)…
Well no I won’t uncover all cushions in a bare all manner, no I won’t curse people, I won’t damn the surroundings nor would I‘ll stamp pooh pooh remark against my annadatas(read company).Still as I said I had a nasty habit here I go, it’s truly amazing how software companies (big Indian players) still manage to attract budding talents with so little to offer(in terms of monetary gains and challenges). Something which leaves me stumped, no I’m not one to go for self praise, and writing eulogies never come easily to me. Of course people who are in up there in hierarchy are mind blowing. Most of them have great expertise in their field and are what it takes to be winner in your field...

So back to UNIX. If I can spend a day learning something which can make me happy at the end of the day. Before I go back to those dreamy worlds in night,I would take a note of the day and at fag end of the day that little knowledge imparted my senior may keep in good stead. That sums up the day. But how many days do I spend in this manner.
Hardly 2 or 3 in a month or two month. It’s annoying but I’m looking to those sparse days in thick layer of months which can make my day before the moment I embrace dreamworld.
