PROBLEMS...

March 27, 2009

Why there are always problems in life??? Why can't everything go according to plan???
When everything just looks good and wonderful, problems have to poke their nose into it...
But every problem contains the seeds of its own solution...It isn't that you can't see the solution, it's that you can't see the problem.

While working as a trainee at Cognizant, I had a senior named Gitanjali.
I was new to Java then, many a times I would get stuck at places, absolutely clueless. Though she was not from my team, she would go out of her way to help me out. She had a strange way of solving my problems. She wouldn't touch the keyboard, just sit next to me, and ask me to explain the flow to her, asking a few questions here and there. Once we are done once...she would tell me "Chal phir se samjha"...Then eventually while explaining her the flow again and again, I would find the bug myself.
She taught me this golden trick. When you are looking at a problem for a long time, you tend to look at it from a single dimension. So, when ever you feel that you have tried all you could to solve a problem, get hold of a BAKRA, explain the entire flow to him...even if you don't get the bug yourself, certainly he would give you a new dimension to think of it.

Not only in work, I feel in real life it holds good too. Whenever you are in bad times, your brain stops working, and you tend to get into deeper sh*t.
Whenever I have a problem I talk to my friends.
I get more dimensions of the problem, and better solutions than I can think of at that time.

Well...A life without problems would be as boring as a film without a villain.

As they say...Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them...
So, here I am fighting against all problems of my life and others, and take pride in saying "What doesn't destroy me, makes me stronger"
