My friend Mr. Ramanarayan Azim Permchand Ratan Mukesh Nandan Kumar Mangalam Bajaj a.k.a Buddy, after being in the IT world for nearly sixteen years with a single company he shares his views lessons do’s and don’ts about his experiences with me i.e the after affects

• Love the work but don’t love the company… because you never know when the company stops loving you. Some great personality has said that and most of you say its true but not for my Buddy he says love the company and company will show you the way to love other companies if not atleast will show you how to love :-p.


• Sharing is caring they say but for work issues My Buddy says its like a suicide. Imagine you share your work issues and tensions with your friends being the kind hearted as they are and also the concern they have with you, they pretty much have experienced everything in life which just happened to you and thus when you go depressed, happy or whatever feeling it is.. one thing you will always here is .. “been in that position before my dear” “I know how you feel exactly” “expected!” “take it easy its just a phase” … beat me down but please just listen screams out my best friend in gust.


• With Family if you do share, then for the rest of your life that issue will remain unresolved, you will never overcome that situation in front of them its more pressure than the actual issue, you gotto give status updates, metrics and what not. Last thing you ever want to hear comes out too... “Why don’t you look out some where” “some x has some y knowledge ask and see?” “Told you not to go there, you never listen” “I don’t see anything wrong, they are right you should listen to them” … slap yourself twice and kick yourself thrice but please never discuss your work issues with family.


• Expect "Never" !!! Buddy says... no matter how tiny small or big, there is always an expectation that it will be noticed by one or the other. If the person says I got no expectations then surely there is some problem or he must be retiring. There are also cases where you have an expectation for an expectation this is a superlative case you come across this situation when one threatens to leave or during the departing scenarios mostly by far the worst to keep, stay away from them and dont deal on expectations.


• Always give your best…but Show off is must! Adds my buddy. He says there is no stoppage on how much you give there are always takers but if at all the case is reversing you suddenly find yourself in a situation where the best of you goes in gutter. Always always always show off I repeat show it off that you work hard it pays good dividends by this you should always consider the personnel in higher position to be blind dumb and deaf and need to be shown and told as loud as possible. Even then if you don’t see results consider them impotent and go elsewhere to youknowwhat yourself.


• Learn the art of taking credit if you are not good or you don’t believe in applying brains or if you lack the same. This is not a difficult thing to practice, all you have to do is follow the rears and be the first to do accept anything and then distribute it saying you are over burdened, once done accumulate and present it.


• One of the oldest trick in the book and always reliable trick is the “licks-kick”. My Buddy explains... as mentioned before the deaf dumb and the blind need some showing and shout out loud the other way or the short cut to get them perfectly functioning for you is to show utmost care they are blind show them the direction in the way that best suits them, they are deaf make them hear what they want to hear, they are dumb interpret in the way you understand it to the best. Basically become there physical organs and keep the rest away from them so that things go according to what you want.


• Never ever grow in a shadow…. My buddy makes his voice louder while saying so. He continues one can have role models but to grow like someone or grow under the person you admire is possibly the slowest possible growth to oneself. Stay away from it … he warns me.


• Never…

As he continued to tell more I stopped him and politely asked him to move on with life there might be many lessons learnt but if you do things right, right things will happen for you with my so and so knowledge I shared and bid him farewell.
