Read before you send

I have heard some saying “think before you speak”, but today I learnt –
1. Read before you send…
2. Carefully use “Reply to all” button in mail…
3. What does exact meaning of word “Blunder”…
Lot of learning by a single incident happened today with me in office,
In my team a outing is going to happen, for which there are many game, fun events & quizzes are planned. Out of those 1 is movie quiz.
But to choose participating teams for it, they were about to send email for prelim quiz, whoever solve first & more number of correct answers will be moved to 2nd round…
I just returned from lunch, saw my Inbox & found prelim quiz. I said – “Oh great, lets solve it”
As in Engineering & IT industry taught us “it is always team effort which leads to success”, I take help of my friend (sit beside me) & we were able to solve all questions (thanks to Google) in say 15-20 min of time.
Oh Wow, we are going for final, by saying this I clicked on “Send” button…………
Suddenly I saw one pop-up @ right corner of my laptop window, hey what is this………
How come I got mail I send just now??????
First I thought that quiz master replied me, ok, I opened that mail……..
& when I noticed the list of “To” & “CC”, I fainted……
Only words came out of my mouth ….. OH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTT
What I did there…. “I clicked Reply to All”
Quiz master came to my desk to congratulate me for all my right answers & scolding me to screw his quiz.
After that I am received around 30 mails from other on same topic & for BLUNDER which I committed today.
I just ask 1 thing – Why Reply & Reply to All buttons always kept near to each other, why they are not at two corners of mail-window??????

Put yourself in someone else shoe

It is almost 1.5 years I written any blog, one of my friends keep pushing me to write something. I say him – “I don’t have time, put yourself in my shoe then you’ll get to know that how busy I am, I don’t have time”.

This was the beauty of the argument; “Put you in my shoe” both of us know that it is not possible (I am not saying just normal shoe exchange). But just imagine if it could be possible how amazing it will be.

Have you ever given thought of this? But I am always anxious to see the life from different person’s eye. How they see the world? What thought they have? What they want, what they don’t want? How their emotions flow? And the biggest question – what they think about me or how they see me? I want to feel what my mother feels. I want to know what those thoughts are which give her so much energy to serve/love to everyone.

Is it possible? May be I don’t know at this point of time, but I remember 1 article somewhere which was explaining there is small memory associated with our eyes, and when someone donates eyes then sometimes that memory doesn’t erase, it still keeps some of the thoughts of the donor. Many times the person who receive new eyes see the dreams of donor, remember the things of donor, identify person he never met but donor met anytime. Many times friends or relatives of donor also identify those eyes easily and build connection with that person easily.

Means it is possible (even slight chance only) to put myself in someone else shoe. Eye donation is one of those ways to do this.

At same time I am expecting many more new ways in future to – “Put myself in someone else shoe”, and feel the world in another perspective. I am waiting for this to happen…….
