I'm a Professional.

Working with different group/team is a very common in any industry. Every group will have its own objectives that are derived from organisation objectives. A group alone can't achieve the goal, it has to be a team effort.

There might be a group exists in the organisation whose objective is to find fault in your groups activities (like testing and quality). Eventually, they might find fault on your work. There are two ways of handling this, professional and personal.

The Professional Approach
You have to be matured enough to accept that you might have done a mistake and work towards correcting them. Humans are bound to make mistake. Few mistakes at work will not brand you. In fact, the way you handle this will help you grow-up in corporate ladder. Also, this will add fun to work place and will definitely help you win hearts.

The Personal Approach
Things are taken personally though it is the work of the other group. The reactions would not just spoil your groups growth but also the organisation's. To avoid this approach you have to come of your ego at work place. You will be isolated.

I want to be a true professional at work. So, I'm choosing the first choice. You decide on what you want to be.

Its all over.

After three months of thorough investigation, it was finally declared that nothing is suspicious in the death of Bob Woolmer and was a natural death. The family and friends can be relaxed now, especially the Pakistan team after going through a living hell all these days.

Too much of media attention and the rumours might have forced few decisions. Woolmer death overshadowed the excitement of World Cup in the initial stage and lost focus later as nothing for progressive and/or too many of speculations.

Not yet there!!!

Its been close to two months that BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is searching for a national coach. How close are we to appoint one?. The reality is, haven't taken a step closer.

Many names were discussed as favorites - Tom Moody, Dav Watmore etc. Rahul Dravid recommended Graham Ford, John Emburey was recommended by Gavaskar. After a selection process, the board offered Ford but he denied and so is Emburey. It was learnt that the way the selection procedure was handled forced Ford and Emburey to reverse their decision.

Today, the board is back to what they were at two months ago. In fact, fallen back couple of steps. Now, they don't have any favorites. BCCI can be a financial power house but it doesn't guarantee them a professional coach.

The professionalism has to be injected on its functioning and that will benefit not just off-the-field activities but also on-the-field, to become a super power in Cricket.

Not just BCCI, even other sporting body in the country should also improve on the way they are functioning to show results in the international field. The fact, with more than a billion people we still not able to dominate any sports, is annoying.

Sivaji - Sold Out

As expected, the movie tickets for the upcoming Rajini starer 'Sivaji' was sold out for few weeks within a day after the booking started.

Many might be wondering what is the fun in watching the movie on the first day? It is okay to miss other movies, but definitely not Rajini's as it take you to another level. For those who haven't tasted it, I would like to share the only experience of mine. I have seen 'Muthu' on day one.

I have got a ticket from my friend by luck. I went alone to watch the mid-night show. I was trilled by the the noice and the energy in the theatre even before the movie started. Though I didn't knew anyone there, I joined the party. The response from the audience for the politically influenced dialogues were loud and clear that they wanted him to join/start a party.

It was a different feeling to be there. Fans were there not to see the movie but to enjoy being part of the fun. Even after a decade, the grace for Rajini didn't had a dip. That is why he is called the 'Super-star'.

FedEx failed to Deliver!

The King is still searching for the missing jewel on his Crown. He has to wait for another year to see to find it.

The French Open Final between The King of Tennis (Roger Federer) and The King of Clay (Rafiq Nadal) was played yesterday. Roger was my favourite and I wanted him to win it - to have all four 'Slams' at a time. I didn't watch any of the match at Rolland Garros this year, but lucky to saw the match that I don't want to miss.

Unfortunately, things didn't go Roger's way. He was struggling with his first serves and was not able to convert the breakpoints. In fact, Roger won his first break point on the 11 opportunity. Nadal also was in a fighting mood to win the title for the 3rd time in a row. He didn't give anything easy to Roger. Nadal saved 5 break points before winning the Game 6 of first set.

After losing the first set, Roger came back well in the second to conquer the set but after that it was all Nadal's script. The fact that Roger has reached the final here for the second consecutive time reveal that he is not bad at clay but Nadal's power and technique on clay is better than his.

Though Roger has won all other grand slams more than trice but none in French Open. Hope he will close this expectation in coming year.
