When you enjoy work, work is worship; otherwise its like warship!!

When the favor is on other's side, its politics!

Behind every successful woman, there is a maid!!

The more you mature, the more you plan; The more you plan, less you execute!!!

Some people are in a hurry to make their kids independent and without realising they become dependent to their maids!!

GUF Framework!

Heyy.. stop... don't skip this blog if you are non technical person and not interested in any frameworks! What I am going to talk now is about a universal frame work!!

One of my favorite activity is going for a walk after dinner. Again, lot of musings during walking. :)
Another thing which makes our walking pleasant is our layout. I simply love S.T.Bed layout in Koramangala. Broad concreted roads, beautiful parks and well lit streets makes walking pleasant. Only threat is stray dogs.. but I have found a work around.. I have got a long stick which I carry while walking.

The other day we started our stroll after dinner. As usual me and my brother exchanged comments about our neighboring pg gals. He got a call from his dad and started over the phone.
I was enjoying the chill breeze and overhearing the one side conversation.

my brother: "what? hahaha is he an investment banker?"
otherside: ". ....."

I was thinking his dad(don't mistake.. my brother means my cousin brother) might have found an investment banker's daughter.

him: "I would have thought about my future more than him.. "
otherside: "............................................
...................................."

him:"My intelligence only is my asset.. as if we have more money to invest"
otherside"...................."

the conversation ended.

my brother: "dad has asked some astro guy about me buying a car.. bullshit.. he also asked me about my business and that guy asked not to make any monetary investments but only intelligence.. "

me gigling: "that's a very safe statement he has made!!"

him: "as if he is more responsible for my future than me.."
me: "see.. for that astro guy, its a business.. he wants to say exactly the same what your dad wants to hear! and that's how he makes money"

him: "All these people make money over others weakness"
me: "I dont undersatnd this concept.. If one believes in God, it means that ones future is decided when he or she is born. Everything is written by Brahma on one's forehead. Then what is the point in trying to avoid a bad thing happening in life? Its God's Frame work where everything is written and pre-decided!"

him: "no DuDamma.. that's where you are thinking is wrong.."
I looked at him to hear more.
he continued:"God has written a Framework which is full of 'if...else" and "while" loops and switch statements. Its upto the individual to choose which branch he takes and which decision he makes to go forward in life.."

me as usual excited about the new idea and a bright smile on my face: "interesting and makes sense!"

him:" God says, 'see I have given you the framework. I have given you the ability to think. You choose the path you want to grow'. So God is only responsible for the framework but its the individual who will make his or her own life."

after a pause..
him: "also.. decision making depends on which loop one has taken, current position, prior experience and his upbringing. What is the fun if God derives everything himself!! After giving the framework, he sits back and has fun seeing you cracking the code of life!"

Me, almost jumping: "DuDu.. you are a genius.."
one stray dog stood up with Grrr sound. I just flashed my long stick and it sat down.

him: "So, in initial years of one's life, parents will be choosing the if..else statements and if they go wrong fundamentally, its not the individual's mistake but the parents. After one grows up and if he or she still wants to give the option of choosing the branches to his/her dad, again any success or failure he himself is responsible for granting the rights to choose the branch to his/her dad"

me: "Its like, see son.. I have selected a girl for you and you marry her and life will be good.. He marries her and life screwed up.. "
him: "yes.. so that's his mistake and not his dad..! Its all about how you read your framework and make decisions.. Howz that?"

me: "amazing DuDu.."

another stray dog seeing my stick started wagging his tail.
I said.."ok ok.. I have seen you wagging your tail.. we are friends.. dont worry.. I will not beat you.."

and by the by GUF Framework stands for 'God's Unique ForeHead Framework'!.
