Being a father

Today morning my friend called me and said he became father of a handsome son. He was very excited, I was thinking what would be his face reaction at that time. Two years back I happened to be with my friend, his wife gave birth to a boy in India and they sent him the photos. I was with him when he first saw his son (in photo). I was able to see his feelings in his eyes, I asked him "What is it like, to be a father". He replied "Something you cannot tell, you have to just feel". The same light I saw in his eyes should have been in my father eyes when he first saw me. That very thought made me happy.

Father & son relationship is like a country side drive some time you hit bumpy roads some times you get beautiful views. It is not always a smooth ride but sure is a hell of a experience. You sure cannot say what you are going see next.

As a kid, the first hero is his father. He tries to walk in the steps of him and he likes to behave like him. But as the day passes there is a friction in the relationship especially during adolescent ages. This relationship takes two cycles first you hate him, you know him, you love him, you admire him, you hate him, you know him, you love him and you admire. First cycle of love and admire comes in your child hood and second cycle of love and admire comes once you become a father. At that time we know what it is to be father and appreciate what our father did to us.

Is it the first day of school, first day of college, first day of employment, your first journey outside home town, your first vehicle, your first property, your first home. In all of our first there is a big contribution from a father. With father it is an unexpressed bond, we always say we love our mom, with father we love with respect. We don't express frankly but still we do care about them.

Next time we see our father let us say "Dad, I love you. I am grateful for what you have done to me so far"

Copycat

I like the way Seeni writes his blog. With appropriate images, proper context and leaving passage that will provoke readers thoughts and make them to present their comments. Out of many blogs I read his blog has reasonably many comments. In our recent concall's we used to talk about his professionalism in creating blog.

Out of all this, I like the way he uses images for his texture. So I thought I should be using that in my blog ( now you can guess why I kept this topic). I think there is nothing wrong in being a copy cat. In corporate terms we can coin this as Reusability. Being in mainframe for about 3 quarters in a decade (7.5 years - courtesy seeni) I was never able to write a cobol program with out copying the various division from an old program. Once I tried doing that and was not able to compile it. I don't know what is the problem, it got executed when I copied the same text from another program. Pretty funny though.

Copying or accepting the practices existing currently saves a lot of time. Basically it avoids reinventing wheel. That is the reason we bring all the stake holders, related project leaders during project start up meeting.

Most of the companies uses the MBNQA model for their business excellence. Advantage of using proven technique is one we know it works, it is a form of authentication and the last one is it is a proven technique and we save time and money in researching new things.

So the whole world is revolving around copying.Corporate copy mission, goals and models. Projects copies best practices. Political parties copies promises. Moon copies sun light. As a professional I copy sorry reuse certain things.
