In order to do one task we have to do so many others. If the primary task to done is what one wanted to do; then he will finish all the secondary tasks with an excitement; no matter how boring they are. But if the primary task is the one which one hates (or not likes), then even if the secondary task involves his most passionate subjects, the work shows no or low enthusiasm.
At present I am doing an internship, and the best part of it is the lunch break; it is the time when I get to eat the ice cream. It is amazingly hot and humid in this place and the ice cream is a great relief. Rajiv disagrees though; according to him the whole office is air conditioned, and hence my claims are false. Anyways it is always enjoyable to eat the ice cream in summers and issue is debatable.
There is a mother dairy ice cream cart right outside our office. It is a very typical cart; and I always try out a new flavor everyday. But today was the day when the computer ate my ice cream. I had finished tasting every flavor he had; and I recently saw the advertisement of mother dairy choco chip and nutty almond. So I wanted to taste one of these flavors today. The ice cream man (we shall call him ice man from now on); however said that there has been a problem in the software in the mother dairy office. They computer shows some ice creams not shipped which have been shipped. So they have stopped all the new flavors. Now this ice man might never have even seen a computer, (ok…. he might have seen one). But at least would never have operated one or would know a thing or two about the computer. My life was getting affected by the computer where I least affected it to; and I was not able to taste the new flavor of the ice cream. And the person who was directly getting affected was not even computer literate.
Why has the software wants to do this. Does it feel the heat of the summers too? Does it want the ice cream to cool off the heat. So it is keeping all the ice cream with itself. I do expect that either this blog will get many hits or many hate hits or no hits or may some day I will open a website which will get famous and I will get money or I will advertise my movie through web but I never thought that I would not be able to eat the ice cream probably due to a person who did not handle the software properly. May be tomorrow when I go to buy aloo, pyaaz, tamatar the sabji waala will say that there is no aloo today due to problem in the software of the fertilizer company. Or may be the sabji waala or the ice man will decide to become computer literate and have there own laptops. They will work with a Just-in-time inventory and operate laptops; order online and stuff.
I do expect my life to get affected by the computer; but I never expected it to eat off the ice cream I wanted to.
dude, its already happening. In some of the shops, the s/w doesn`t recognizes the bar code leading to long long queues....
