But sometimes I feel that their anger is justified to some extent. But reading their history, we can see that they would be fighting with/without the "intervening" powers.<BR/>Actually I've not lost my self-belief. If anything, I feel that I've become more confident after I came here.<BR/>But I've got to agree that I've become even more isolated now. My primary contact with my friends is through phone or mail. And you know how bad I'm with both these things. Even my Tamil film/song knowledge has stopped at 9-month back.Vijay Vaidyanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705527808131126582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13963918.post-50846825323823004642007-04-03T03:30:00.000-05:002007-04-03T03:30:00.000-05:00Putting yourself in other person's shoes will help...Putting yourself in other person's shoes will help you when you are trying to find a solution to a problem.

Missed out "s" in most places, etc, but found one mistake in the formation at one pt, just wrote it in a flash that i made a mistake in the sentence formation. <BR/><BR/>it should have been 'if ur actions DO hurt others sentiments or physical well being then u r wrong'.... in place of DO NOT.SNMS98https://www.blogger.com/profile/16605199702863789925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13963918.post-9488867754868585062007-04-01T11:00:00.000-05:002007-04-01T11:00:00.000-05:00As for your other problem of losing confidence in ...As for your other problem of losing confidence in one's own perspectives, changing ur won views to support jihad(example) etc clearly states the emptiness of thought to insist urself that u r right and this happens when u r away from ur ppl, from ur surroundings etc, u dont know what is right and what is wrong. this exactly happened to me as when i was in the prod support projec there at offshore, i never got to see any of my frnds and i was living in a world of my own where all sorts of thoughts used to get into my head. In such cases talk to ppl who can instill ur self belief in urself rather than to ponder over it urself thinking that they might bias you towards something. u will definitely see that u r more comfortable that way, u may just miss things that they might see. I know u have a habit of shunning others opinion saying that u shud have an openess when u form a perspective, that is all right only until a certain level. if everything done for food and money and one's own well being were correct then there wud be nothing in this world that is <BR/>"wrong". i may sound philosophical but if ur actions do not hurt others sentiments or physical well being then u r wrong.... else carry on brother...... :-) was very happy to read this blog... well written.<BR/><BR/>just a suggestion, talk more to ur folks, u r more of an introvert, u dont speak out until spoken to, i seldom see u online. these things may sound trivial but they do help man.....SNMS98https://www.blogger.com/profile/16605199702863789925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13963918.post-77939374226867461642007-04-01T10:50:00.000-05:002007-04-01T10:50:00.000-05:00super da..... nice narration of the plight of the ...super da..... nice narration of the plight of the workers in the indeustry(I will most definitely say that we are just workers). one thing i agree with u apart from the other things that other cant agree more is that these workaholics expect other also to become similar to them and forgo their personal life which i guess is totally not acceptable from any pt of view, u can be sure of one thing though that u wont become like that thinking from other's perpectives. But success from that attitude is not as easy. Mostly u end up being taken from granted u have said, which is the problem there. But that's waht life is, u lose something to gain something.SNMS98https://www.blogger.com/profile/16605199702863789925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13963918.post-7889863671532206102007-04-01T00:42:00.000-05:002007-04-01T00:42:00.000-05:00strong sindhanai alaigal.. great that you can put ...strong sindhanai alaigal.. great that you can put yourself in x's position and judge him. works wonders!<BR/><BR/>And all these slogging and stuff... individual decision making plays a huge part. i've seen people who do nothing but official work.. for them that is satisfaction. as long as they don't expect it from ppl around them, it is always ok. <BR/><BR/>keep blogging cousin!Venkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947216112106227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13963918.post-90277775202862954592007-03-31T12:32:00.000-05:002007-03-31T12:32:00.000-05:00Not many people can put themselves in other people...Not many people can put themselves in other people's shoes as easily as you are able to. This is a gift which could be really useful if used the right way. You could actually use it to build arguments or models which cannot be broken down. <BR/><BR/>And about work and personal life, it is all about the passion that a person has for the work he is doing and his drive to excel. When a person is extremely passionate about something then that becomes all important to him and comes above all other things. <BR/><BR/>Very few people are able to clearly draw a line between work and personal life and be succesful and enjoy both equally. I would say that to achieve this is real success.Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311709940251893700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13963918.post-27617348167252304302007-03-31T11:48:00.000-05:002007-03-31T11:48:00.000-05:00Work taking over personal lives is not only in Ind...Work taking over personal lives is not only in India. Its just depends on the industry you are working in and your position. My cousin here works in US as well as India time just because he has to manage two teams. And there a few companies that force you to take 2 days off in India as well. <BR/><BR/>Its good to think from others point of you. But only to an extent. Never try to satisfy everyone.
