Work life balance - is it a myth in the modern age???

who has not heard about the work life balance in their life times at least twice a day??? Yes that is the most coveted feat to achieve and yet it is pretty hard to realize. The other day I went for a training in my company about work life balance... quite surprisingly, in that training, the trainer talked about achieving work life balance by keep work and personal life very close.That is quite a contradiction is n't it??? how can you achieve balance when you are constantly thinking about your work? I am not sure what i have gotten out of that training but it surely told me something. It is difficult to forget about the work when you go home in this modern age of black berries, androids, iphones etc..more than these electronic gadgets people are addicted to getting constant stream of information every second. The information can be work related, family related or any thing , but they just need some new information every other second. People become vary when they did not get an e-mail for more than 15 minutes.. people are anxious when nobody has replied for their post in the facebook. Did anybody feel familiar about this? ... so when people became information savvy like this ...how can you avoid not checking your e-mail when the black berry or iphone is at your hand even when you are in a Beach in California... it is pretty hard to resist and it is very tempting...one you started checking your e-mails, voice messages , there goes your vacation crashing down... unknowingly , you just fall in to the trap...you go in to a loop; you try to reply if there is any action item that you forgot to complete; you get scared when there is an escalation for something you missed...what is the way out? I am not sure what it is ....constant streaming in of the information helped the mankind tremendously on one hand, but it removed privacy of the human being on the other hand..what is the way out people????

My Sabarimalai yatra

The tragic accident in Sabarimalai made me sad and nostalgic... I remember my trip to Sabarimalia from Chennia when I was working for TCS in Chennai. It was an excellent 40 days of deeksha after which we went to Sabarimalia by Train. We walked in the forest for hours. My feet were swollen atleat a feet. I could not feel my legs for days. We reached Pampa and bathed in the river then we walked again and reached the shrine a top. we stood in the line and waited for some 3 hours and had a magnificent darshan of the lord. Then the next we had a another darshan and started walking down... In the return trip we went to Guruvayur , Lord Krishna's abode and had a great experience there. I cannot forget those experiences, then we stopped at Trisur Vadakkumnathan Temple - a very huge temple in 10 acres said to be built by Parashu Rama.
This trip was life time experience and I can never forget this yatra and I would go again and again to Sabarimalai, when I finally go back to India...

South Africans have surpassed Aussies in hate.....

Never thought south Africans are so hateful... they cannot take Indians performing and giving tough fight on their home turfs... Robin Jackman, a commentator openly supports SA team instead of being un-biased..he sometime makes some ridiculous comments as I noticed...
 ----- today when India has won the match by 1 run after virtually losing it, HD Ackerman, another commentator says that he could not give credit to Indians, but he would blame SA team for throeing it away...
common man accept it and move on , bog deal... stop being hypocrites.....

నిరతము మము కరుణించే భద్రకాళి వమ్మా!

భావనా మాత్రమున భవములనూ అణచే
భవ హరునీ రాణి వనీ నమ్మి నిన్ను కొలిచీ
భావనా గమ్యమైన భవాని వై నీవు
నిరతము మము కరుణించే భద్రకాళి వమ్మా!
