In Memory

During our life, we make many friends. Friends from neighbourhood, school friends, college friends, office friends, and so on. As we move from one place to the other, the communication reduces till we go out of touch.
Somewhere deep down, once in a while, you want to know how the old buddies are doing. Who are they married to? How many kids do they have? What are they working on? and so on. You hope for their best and feel proud and happy.
These thoughts were running through my mind while I sat on the terrace of my house drinking tea on a beautiful evening. I guess it's the cloud and rain that takes you back on the memory lane.
I think ALL my friends are still In Memory.

Keeping Talent

It has become increasingly difficult to hold back good talented people in the company. I have wondered why this happens.
I believe that the good talented people are not working only for money. Having said that it is also incorrect to assume that they don't have need for money. They would like to be properly compensated for their work without discrimination or partiality. They don't want more than they deserve, they won't take less either.
I believe that the good talented people work because they want to work. They will immerse themselves in the work at hand and take full charge of the problem and situation. They'll work hard and expect the team members and associates to work hard with them. If they find anyone relaxing and not sharing the burden of the tasks, they'll switch off very quickly.
I believe that the good talented people will share the work load of their team mates. They are always ready to help. This nature stands them apart in any team. Talented people only doing their work are working for money and fame, but not as a cohesive unit.
I believe that good talented people who lead a project make success of the project provided they get at least one such person in their team.
