Too good to be true !

Imagine yourself staying with your best loved gal/guy in no-disturbed 11th floor apt in a high rising building ....NO Intruders and you are for urself! Too good to be true. why raise eyebrows? Its a touchy subject and unfortunately condemened in our society.There is whole lot of meaning of staying together willingly before tied up in a marriage.Ofcourse if agreed and married thats different! But the point is u njoy that relationship and u r totally honest to ur partner in what ever you act and do ! Its a true relationship that blossoms everyday and day after day between you both!But still unacceptable.Though I got the best loved gal in my life , I would just imagine myself and spend those 6/7 months of an honest relationship with my partner without being tied up! Its great and its worth those moments! The point is , you are just been true to urself at that point of life!

The subject is always debatable for pros and cons but the reason why I sketched is to tell you that , very few times in life , you have been true to urself and this is one of those !

Ibm Earned Billions !!!

Recently , I had to sell my asset .I had taken a composite loan from a leading banker!.I had two option.
1. Take the money from buyer and preclose the loan
2. Transfer the loan to buyer

I did 2nd one. Everything went fine till the last night and boom came shock that I had actually pay 2% penalty for preclosing the loan.Bear in mind that I had actually introduced a new customer to them with a much Higher interest rate of the loan and I was stamped with more penalty.Well , the guy I was actually dealing ,belong to sales department and It took 2 odd days to convince him that whyI dnt need to pay penalty for actually introducing the customer !Alls well and he told me to approach Operations department(Ops)! I introduce myself to this smart lady and I tell her to preclose the loan!Shell shocked she actually tells me to come between 12th and 20th of evry month for preclosure.Unfortunately I had to narrate her the entire flash back as to what happened in the sales department.....the story continues to be in loop...

I noticed 2 things

1. The leading banker was actually working as two disintegrated organisation (one sales organisation and the other Opns organisation though both belong to the same Banking wing!!!)
2. Customer delight went to -10 from +10 - My case was dangling all along and I am fighting till now!

To integrated these department , we need some basic Integration point and this exactly what IBM did in its late 1990. It exploited and built some interfaces across different vendors of software & hardware and today stands accolade for being a billionaire company.....

The great system (In this case : IBM) is not built on complex strategies but on basic needs of life and they did don the industry for many years....Simple but yet astonshing......

Pre-Judiced - Think Again!

Lot many people have an idea of what you are and what you should be like!
They prejudiced people and categorise accordingly....Now that is what is called a bonded(Contract ) relationship -:) .You will become a bonded friend!!!!
Surprised...yes it is,they want you to behave exactly as they anticipated and if you dnt you are in trouble.Take this example....A girl is driving her car on Hosur road and suddenly a tempo traveller notices her and zoom past her.Worst , he cannot move anywhere but to go alongside and irritate her.He expects the girl to irritate and throw tantrums! Worst yet to come , she might even stop and slap him.It it possible because traffic barely moves in hosur road and you have the time to stop and start the slap!!!
Look at this other scenario - Girl moves unpertrubed!She njoy's The hot radio mirchi and shut her car glasses and she could barely notice this merc Tempo traveller....He tries to grab her attention with his all non-sense road shows but yet she barely has an effect!!!! What happened......ha....The driver seems to be fish out of the water and he is not sure why he is like that!!Dnt you njoy that sight...definetly yes.
This happens , when you are what others dnt anticipate and when you live upto your expectations.It is this gesture of yours which will help you grow and hepled me grow too!!!

Live upto your expectations Leave other's to theirs! preJudiced - Think Again
