Can I have desk there?

I am reading Friendfeed in office and being a friday; am bit relaxed and looking forward to rocking weekend. I stumbled across the Gary Burd's feed and he somewhere mentioned that he was late for Office by a day. He goes to office by bike and here is the picture.

Quick Mental Health check

These are the questions I got from recent article on lifehack. Good list to verify when you are down and then you can analyze whether you are still doing pretty Ok or not :-)
  • Do I speak the truth (while still exercising care, wisdom and understanding) even if it’s not popular to do so?
  • Do I live a life which is consistent with my core values?
  • Do I operate with integrity?
  • Do I believe that my motives are good?
  • Is it my goal to be a positive influence in the lives of others?
  • Am I happy to disagree with people I like?
  • Do I (really) like me?

old good days!

Just stumbled upon this comic strip I designed a year back.In my last organization I took almost my whole team to 2 day trek to Harishchandragad
We had real adventure in pushing some members to top and what a fabulous time we spent at KokanKada discussing all positives and negatives about everyone in the team objectively. Nice people; nice time; nice work is rare. Run after it

Phoenix Lander Arrives at Mars




lets talk something on life

I am not good at translation and my english is as good as any frenchman talking it when required.

English transalation

lets talk something on life


lets talk;somewhat correct and may be somewhat wrong
( but ) my friends lets talk something on life

keep on puzzling me in all those words
but until our eyes meet; lets talk

amidst the storm, whispered the boats
let it go first and then lets talk

this wanton pain is what you yearn
about those deep wounds; lets talk

how much one can worry about tomorrow; just see again
"day after tomorrow" is just next day to tomorrow; lets talk

let my words guide me now
blind way,hard journey ahead; lets talk

- Sandeep Khare

Original poem in marathi as below

जरा चुकीचे, जरा बरोबर बोलू काही !
चला दोस्तहो आयुष्यावर बोलू काही !

उगाच वळसे शब्दांचे हे देत रहा तू
भिडले नाहीत डोळे तोवर बोलू काही
चला दोस्तहो आयुष्यावर बोलू काही !

तुफान पाहुन तीरावर कुजबुजल्या होड्या
पाठ फिरू दे त्याची नंतर बोलू काही
चला दोस्तहो आयुष्यावर बोलू काही !

हवेहवेसे दुःख तुला जर हवेच आहे
नकोनकोसे हळवे कातर बोलू काही
चला दोस्तहो आयुष्यावर बोलू काही !

उद्या-उद्याची किती काळजी बघ रांगेतुन
-परवा आहे उद्याच नंतर बोलू काही
चला दोस्तहो आयुष्यावर बोलू काही !

शब्द असू दे हातामध्ये काठी म्हणुनी
वाट आंधळी प्रवास खडतर बोलू काही
चला दोस्तहो आयुष्यावर बोलू काही !
