Smiling

"you smiled that smile, and it brought out the sun in me. it changed me."
-some song i forgot lol


i loved to hear it
i had never realised that people smiled not

once i have been asked
why you always smile
the question left me blank

i realised not that
one could ask such question
is like asking
why you have a face and two hands?

and yet
now that i remember it
and looked around
indeed i now understand why
it was asked

because most of time
people are bearing a sour face
is so serious

what is funny
is not being serious
what is funny
is to show a serious face
even for something which should be light

and that is why
we laugh at kids

when they do
something wrong
they come
and put some serious face
and then start justifying it

so what makes me laugh
is not the seriousness
is the fact of putting seriousness
on something light
just to make it weight much more
than it ought to

then this stuff becomes heavy
on us
more than its due

is not the stuff in itself
that demands so much seriousness
is our behavior which should be
sincerely committed
so that there be no lacking from us
when we do it

after
the whole stuff will become light

if you look
at the workplace of the
most successful start ups
their office look like Kindergarten!

Rebecca D’leema, who was formerly part of the cabin crew with Kingfisher Airlines and spent six months designing this office, says most of the features reflect the beliefs and thoughts of the founders. That is the reason, she says, there is no system to mark attendance for employees. There are also no access codes or cards for entering and exiting.

“The founders absolutely dislike wearing dogtags around their necks and they are clear about the fact that if they dislike something, how can they make their teams do that?” D’leema says. “Naveen (Tewari’s) dislike for wearing trousers
“InMobi is my dream company,” confess two candidates who interviewed for jobs at the Bangalore-based mobile advertising firm earlier this year. Their desire, however, has less to do with InMobi’s business or their job profiles and more with the company’s new office on the outskirts of the city. A visit to the office  on Outer Ring Road explains these aspirations.
Work at the InMobi office, spread over 120,000 sq ft and across three floors, may still involve writing code as in other information technology companies, but one can do so on the re-writable desks or walls, sitting on one of the 100 beanbags in the office. Or at any of the two fully-loaded coffee shops or meeting rooms that have cartoon graffiti on the walls. In between coding, an employee can choose to play at the well-spread games zone or jam in the room dedicated for singing and playing musical instruments or just catch a nap in any corner.
Founded in 2007 by four alumni of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) — Naveen Tewari, Mohit Saxena, Abhay Singhal and Amit Gupta —, InMobi is one of the most successful Indian software product startups. It is among the top three mobile advertising firms globally and has business across nearly 200 countries, with revenue estimated at $200 million for 2013, say sources.

it just give me the wish to go
there and work everyday :))


so when we wear a
sour, uptight face
trying to "show"
we are serious
we are committed
we are all-as-one-should-be

standing erected
like hovering over
the stuff to be done

then we end up
losing our natural
way of being (creative)

the word in itself may
look empty
but being creative
you can replace it
by saying
being open

when you are open
you are open to alternatives
solutions
that can prove to be most helpful
for your job at hand
not only for office

so what is required
from us
is not to show a serious face
for we waste energy
to maintain it

instead of focusing on
how to be open to
circumstances around us
which is more useful use
of our same energy

we only
owe to ourselves
and thus to others
to be sincere with our
commitments

when we are
then we can enjoy
riding through waves of changes

it means not we won't have
at times sour faces

but when we have it
and someone shows up
with some humor
if we start laughing
and take part in it

then is the good sign
that we are still
ourselves
and human :x
