I still remember with great awe, the story of a man who is quite new to Japan and its magestic Culture. He went there for his livelihood. He carried his family with him. One day he happened to saw on his way back from his workplace that his house had been caught fire accidently and his wife and kids got trapped inside. How would he communicate to people that his house caught fire, he did not know the language and the language he knew, the natives could not understand. At last he went out and shouted loudly and ran here and there in panic. His mind got filled only with how to save his family. Finally he could found out a man to whom he communicated fu fu fu foooooo fu ho hoo.... with all his mime language. The other guy understood the man's house caught up fire and the stranger gathered some more helping hands and atlast set the fire off. The moment he saw the fire, he forgot his delimits and rather he gained his courage to save his family. Simple thought!!!! He never thought I did not know Japanese language, so let me go and learn first and gather the people. The story teaches us many lessons. Message should be communicated within our capacity with atmost urgency so others can understand its importance. This incident is one such communication. Basically human beings are simple in their nature. There is something down the line making all such complications.
When I met him he was about to enter a retirement life. Down the line converstion I came to know he is not everybody's cup of tea. But he spoke to me very intelligently and his knowledge about the subjects he learned during at any stage of his education remembered so crispy. I still remember how I passed my Hindi examination during my early education and still get up from my sleep as a nightmare shouting, Failed!!! Failed!!!. Sometimes, I saw Physics in the form of Tiger and Chemistry in the form of Snake chasing or hissing me. Then I do drink lot of water. Then I search all my certificate to confirm it was a dream. I bothered only how he behaved with me and even if he was not everybody's cup of tea. At first impression,he may not admit he is lovable in nature.May be his long journey in life gave him that impression. May be he must have been looking for a guy to speak openely as I must have won his confidence. He need to be respected. He started talking to me from his childhood to the present. His face was blossomed when talked to me about the achievements. Through out his education he got higher rank. He had a big circle of friends that we could not imagine. Approximately 140 villages he had influence during his education time. Supposed to be having a good helping nature. Then I thought he should be a high professional now. But the reality is that after all his achievements, he is struggling for his livelihood. Quite Contradiction!!! He continued and started smiling like an innocent kid: A true human spirit. Where he went wrong???? He told me when he was in a huge network of friendship he was in his heyday. However, he did not realise that he was entered into the Jam. When somebody wanted to snatch his popularity,he did know how to come out from that. There were many back stabbers. People came to him as if they were really helping him but only to make the wound more vulnerable.He continued his life story to me and gradually we became close. After all these strugglings, how he could smile like that? That was hauting me for some days. Then I came to realise that Life is full of comedy, however every moment of it is tragedy. He told me life is not always the same, it gives always unanticipated turns. There are many such incidents I heard in and around us. Some will come out from that Jam where ants enter to taste and some may die inside the same.
I heard it in one great person's speech that Human beings should be loved and the object should be used. However,now Human beings are being used: objects are being loved and cared. Hats off to our System!!!! I hope somebody will listen to people who make hi fu fu fu foooooo fu ho hoo.... and people will gather to set their fire off.

Elephants Are In Love With Me
We have no idea why sometimes elephant chases us when they see us. This happened quite often in my life and I tried to believe myself they are in love with me. Ultimately, that was the only hope left for me, other than that no logical reasons. Think Positive! Think Positive! Even after they disturb me with their love, even after they chase me to hug, I have no hard feelings, and after all they are elephants. However, I noticed every time I’m being chased my running speed has tremendously improving than the previous one. This is one such chasing incident…
One unfortunate midnight four of us were travelling through a forest in a Jeep. It was basically return journey from a top hill and the whole area covered with mist and could drive the vehicle only at low speed. The travel through the forest will take 3 to 4 hours and knowing the danger hidden in the travel made it a nightmare. We have seen only one Vehicle in the whole journey till then that too was on the way to top hill and were carrying some vegetables. Other thing about people who travel in this road, for them we cannot give way for another vehicle coming from the opposite side and either of the vehicles has to go back kilometers to give way for the other. The experiences the fellow men sharing each other increases each other’s curiosity mean while we didn't want to experience any such thing in our journey, since the journey was very dangerous. Somewhere in the middle, my sleep conquered my anxiety.
I heard lot of screaming and shouting around me, I did not care it much, since sometimes it might have been a dream. But I could sense that the vehicle is not carrying me forward: the vehicle is going as fast as reverse as it could. I immediately got up half asleep. I saw in Fog Lamp something very huge coming against us, but still not clear what it was. May be that night and place was a rendezvous of darkness and mist. Then I heard from shouting it is wild elephant not in group but a single one. Usually single one is much dangerous than a herd. It would do rampant destruction anything on its way mercilessly. We were all sure how much far we could go back as it is moving faster than the vehicle. At last vehicle come to an end by striking its footstep against a stone which is high as the back door and that was the mercy of nature otherwise vehicle would have carried us to the rock bottom. We all ran in same direction back ward without even looking back and each one thought everybody was on their foot since elephant is chasing us. You could imagine how far we could run in that cold darkness when you could not see the path you were running aimlessly. It seems I was at the farthest distance and felt I lost all others. Then I turn back, I could see the elephant was not chasing me. Who he was chasing then? And I could see the jeep light and engine is on. There is a man near the elephant and I don't know what he was doing there under the aegis of jeep when elephant is behaving wildly and making sound to invite other elephants to the situation and continuously searching for its next destruction it could do with its trunk, even if the man near to it. Where are others? I asked myself. Then there is a reply of one the fellow man in low trembling voice from right side. Only through the sound we could recognize how far we were at each other. Then from left side I heard the same reply of the one who left with. We strongly believed that we were trembling because of the Cold. I asked others what the Man near the Elephant was doing, then the person who drove the vehicle back talk that He asked me not to switch of the engine and light what ever happened to us and whatever the situation was. We could see he is changing the position frequently somewhere in and around the vehicle and the Elephant is trying to recognize his position through its trunk and he is giving us some signal, waving hands backward as it was sure for him we ran backwards. It continued its trumpeting roar and started shaking the vehicle. We came to know that, it is taking the next step. We shouted telling the man near the Elephant, run…run…run… Now He went to a different position which is safe for him again hiding near to it and taking the cover of jeep. After it gives us a fearful and dreaded experience, it left as if it could not succeed. It was definitely not in the forward position; it was through its right side. Immediately the huge shouting came to us as a command, "GET INTO THE JEEP EVERYONE". We all ran faster than we did early and got into the jeep and moved the vehicle as the highest speed without taking into consideration the road condition till we felt we were safe. Now we asked many questions to the BRAVE? Why you said not to switch of the engine and light? Why you did not run like us when you saw the elephant. We came to know from his answer that since we did not switch off the light and engine all including the vehicle were safe and hadn’t he run like others, then definitely one of us would not have been alive since it did not want to destroy all of us. It is nondiscriminatory. Since the BRAVE could divert the attention of that nondiscriminatory to discriminative, then rest were safe. Then everybody said in loud voice "Your Father is a Hero". Yes, definitely He is my Hero. Now also, if somebody gives me a list of 1000 Heroes from history even after giving great description about each personality, I will say, “MY HERO IS NOT IN THE LIST". He is the one who saved every one of our life just by taking His life into risk. He is the BRAVE man who took proper decision at proper time with lot of his experience into it. I hope for every man in the world, the greatest hero is there father. I too have my reasons to claim that. This is the reason I would like to write in all my communication “Regards G” and would like to be called “G” .That “G” is the First letter of My Hero’s name. How else I should show my gratitude towards him other than these small gestures.
We still talk this incident when we see elephants and may be a good time pass talk and laugh loudly. But we pray that this experience should not happen to anybody, which is the experience that dreadful night gave us.

A Perfect Developer in Perfect Life(EssssHHHHHHHHHHHHh DDDDOOOOOOOOOO)
One fine evening, one of my team mates(Mr Smart Guy) called me and showed me a sweet box and asked me to have as many I wanted to, which he bought from his home town. While having the same, I moved to other team mate as she wanted me. She asked me who has given this Laddu, I revealed the person and she got surprised, since she had the Laddu fromMr Smart Guy a week back and I confirmed the same from the Mr Smart Guy. Then Mr Smart Guy said he bought it from home a weeks back and first prefernce had given to his own team to test it and then passed to testing team a few sample of Laddus two days back. Quite Positive thought!!!! Quite Convincing!!!! Nothing could be done other than save my face from getting pale. I had no words to speak and finished the whole Laddu by then. Mr Smart Guy continued saying, as we do usually with the development, First we should check within our team if the code is stable, then move to testing team. Finally the end user enjoy the end result. Here you go Gentleman....You enjoyed the end result. I walked away as if I am convinced by his statement, and was not sure how many days I should take the sick leave.
Note:(EssssHHHHHHHHHHHHh DDDDOOOOOOOOOO) means whole lot of exaggeration has been made.
