I have a new colleague who sits just opposite to me and the office arrangement is such that I will have to look into his face if I move my head from my laptop.
He generally seems to be happy to have arguments and I am happy at least that he accepts if he is wrong.
so this was one such argument actually about Argument itself as I commented him that one of them in the argument is always ignorant. As usual he challenged and wanted me to explain how could I ever make such a statement.
So I started explaining of why an argument should arise in first place:-
1. One does not want to listen what you have to say
2. He does not understand
So, my colleague was happy so far but he did not give up. He said yes, you are right but it does not means that one if ignorant at all times as the other might have something really worth while experience the thrid reason of why there should be an argument.
3. He pulls out his past experience to conclude that he does not want to accept the conclusion and hence the argument. And he probably belives strongly and hence argues
4. May be he has a valid argument probably an alternate way of doing things
and also stated that may be out of argument we get a different option :-)
I felt yap, probably he is true.
Well, to conclude i accepted as I felt what he said made sense to me.
I have tried to look back on my professional life so far and try document some of the important events, observations and the feelings that I have come across till now. Almost like a diary of important things that have happened or have influenced me !

Together they inspired me
Inspiration in artistic composition refers to an irrational and unconscious burst of creativity. Literally, the word means "breathed upon".
I am sure all of us get inspired by something or the other. I have seen an artwork in my office cafeteria. It had a small statement that the art is an inspiration of desert sand pattern.
I have come across people who are inspirations for others. These people are self motivating and they try to do something different for what ever reasons.
This works well if they have like minded members tagging along with them. Then the inspiration takes a shape into action.
One of my college, I had heard of him before he started working with me. This chap keeps writing of what ever he comes across. In fact he goes to the level of writing a blog about the damages made by his manager. Not sure to call it as guts, but to look things in a positive sprit it’s an incident that looked funny to him.
I got inspired on his writings and started writing blogs. Lol, day by day I started writing more and assume it has improved. This chap is always there to comment on them.
This is another incident that happened in my office.
Some of my colleges who were young and energetic had always wanting to do something. Because they were a group and were living almost together they do all crazy things. Some of the crazy moments that I remember.
• They all will remove their moustache for a week
• They will all have their hair done
• They will grow French beard for a while
Perhaps there is a leader who decides what they should be doing differently for the following week.
The ultimate was coming to work wearing tie to office. There is nothing shocking if everyone is wearing a tie but unfortunately my client office is not strict in mandating any business attire.
You know what happened, even the customer them selves were wondering if they have missed something.
One of my colleague went back home to get himself dressed with a tie. Poor chap did not know the reason why people are dressed so.
Thought this can be called crazy but most of us were inspired by it. As many joined in this tie club even the boss has to accept to the group formality and was forced to join the tie club. I joined the tie club last week. To be honest it was nice to be dressed this way. Not sure if everyone in the club were inspired, I was definitely and perhaps assume others were motivated
