Force of.... History... !
Appraisal time guyz…!!!
Realizing the much unrivaled efforts put from my side during the last 6months…I decided to leaf through all related links on ‘How to impress your boss’, ‘How to have a wonderful appraisal this time!’ and a few similar sorts… strange enuff to realize that they all had the same content inside… 'try and manage your time well'… 'anticipate what your boss’s expectations'… 'try and work for customer delight instead of mere satisfaction'… Oh wat craaaaap…..! Forget about the client’s delight and satisfaction… I have not been able to manage satisfying myself from this typist’s (oops… they call it software engineer these days…) job now…!
Every new work-request that comes up for work…breathes life into those old memories of school… those exquisite memories… the only awful time that I could ever recall were the definitely less-scary days… the exams… those history papers... where sentences were rephrased, redrafted and rewritten in all forms of tenses till they filled up pages of answers…creatively using all the doable synonyms that could fit into those 15 inched lines…pages being the only decisive factor for passing any of the subjects… yess... including maths…
Today… things haven’t changed much… I work on similar designs… or rather the same designs… with just a few brisk alterations at the curves of each of them… Is this what they mean when they say ‘history’ repeats itself…errr…huhhhhh…
Times have changed but things haven’t much….and left me bemused; befuddled, mystified (not baaad my synonyms work here too… J) and has left a dangerous impact on me… with my arms laid down against this force of habit…errr… history…!

Hmmmmm u know wat I feel is that childhood was still better ...atleast at that time we craved for something high in life.But now it seems life has come to a standstill ...'sab chalta hai 'types...
When you ask a child wat he wants to become in life he would delightfully answer doctor or engineer or watever.You can figure it out in his eyes.But if someone asks me the same question now ,then I would answer I wish I were a child again.
Well dont you think our creativity and passion has evaporated .This cut throat competition and mad race has made life very monotonous.
Smita...if history really repeats itself then 'kya hum phir se bachche nahi ban sakte ?'
You have correlated your thoughts nicely .But I would have loved to read more elaboration on that as topic is quite vast.
Nice topic indeed ! Keep sailing :)
Hey..childhood was best..no doubt bout it...bt does History repeat itself......??May be yes bt again same as synonyms work...some we like, some we dont.
In childhood we have no responibilities...only dreams n lot of energy to do watever we want..(probably)..bt again we come at same stage (with lots of dreams)at oldage bt without enrgy..!!
So we dont like it....& I guess this is d way History repeats itself...which we dont like at all..!!!
