the answer is nothing much ..:)
an IT managers life is boring .. 🙂 …jokes apart … I just came back from a marathi move “Me shivaji …” . Its kind of munnabhi theme woven around the issue of common man with some pieces of son of soil thrown here and there .
The movies started the usual debate with my roomie .The status of our country . It wandered around all the usual issues . And as U know from own experiences there was no sure conclusion 🙂 . The last line where we stopped the discussion was what can a common man do .
That line puncher-ed the heat that was there . the question scares me … a lot . For I am a man still in search of balance between practical and ideal . My friends know which side I am on .
I wanted to share a incident . There was this share trading site i used . It would go down most of the times the stock markets made big moves .That kind of frustrated me .
And i raised a complaint with SEBI .Honestly speaking I didn’t expect anything from it .
Surprise , surprise !! there was a letter from SEBI acknowledgment the complaint .A letter from National stock exchange , NSE, followed .Soon the site ppl called me and explained their side . The best part of all this was that they have now launched a low bandwidth site . This site is supposed to work under heavy load .
The chapter was closed .
I don’t claim any victory . The matter it self is quite old .The list of such incidents is long one for me and I wish not to brag about it since that’s not what i am after .
For me it was simple case of calculating the trouble i wanted to take .May be the risk was well within my limit , may be I was plain lucky this time . I simply am not sure .
But that’s where my balance lies for now . Its of making and effort within my powers and then letting it go . Someday I hope to find a real balance . Or may be someday I will be a real smart kid who minds his own business . or may be some day I will become a pure idealist .The chances of me vacillating are more and more realistic too .
Prakash , one of my friend ,every time he meets me his eyes ask for what next I did .
………………………Looks like the search will be on and so will be my experiments .
The latest update is that my senior sort of warned me to keep my heroism under control at workplace since we are in recession .
And I , with all sincerity to his advice , is moving on in trying to protect my self and the conscience that books have give me ….
