SHOW STOPPER!!!!

Today, I came into work as any other day (7.30am. Well, yes I come to work this early and its because that's when we all start our work at this client site. Otherwise, I am not at all a morning person..but have managed to do the early attendance on this assignment) and I cannot log into my company's network. So, no emails, no portals, no network absolutely. Everything was down, it took more than couple hours for "xxx" network to get fixed. In these hours with the network outage, we all did not know what to do (we 10 of us sit in the same room), some are trying to discuss work, some pretending to work offline etc. But I sat there blank and was thinking how emails drive our daily work and prioritize. We are (atleast IT) so much dependent on emails to tell us what's important and what's not in our daily life.

Communication is for sure a show stopper!! (be it technology beating technology or something else beating technology) :) ...

A POEM!!!!

I loved this poem ......

One Art

by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
