Letter from Photo

            How are you all? Yes, I am companion of your golden moments, small proof of all beautiful days you spent with dear ones, Treasure for sweet memories. Along with financial Treasure this Treasure is also important. Do you agree with this?

           When you want to recall old memories, you open Album and start looking one after another.   This is very satisfying moment for me. But I forget one thing.  Now this is digital era so my place is in social media like Facebook, Google+, whatsapp or in computer hard disk :) .  Fortunately you are still keeping Album for special moments like Marriage and Engagement events.

          The reason to write this letter today is this special day only. Today it's World Photography day. Nearly two centuries ago, French scientist Nicéphore Niépce invented Camera - an instrument for photography thereby gives a birth to me. Special Thanks to him and some people earlier to him for spending significant time behind this.  What a fabulous moment that was? Afterwards due to technological improvement in camera instrument made my journey more comfortable. It's like a big revolution like in your case.

          One more thank you note to all photographers who are capturing awesome moments by their instruments.  Sunset, Sunrise, Beaches, sweet expressions on your faces, wonderful valley's, Mountain peaks, waterfalls to name a few of those. I am really feeling proud for this. Even after invention of video film, I am alive. I think the reason behind this one smart and beautiful click talks a lot more than any audiovisual film. I never talk but if you look at me from the heart I can definitely connect to you beyond your imagination. Just you have to respect me like anybody else.

         Today due to smart phone camera, you want to click almost every moment in life. Just click and upload it to social media. Please don't do this. Capture only special moments. Instead of putting memories of those moments in Camera, keep in your mind. That will be a great. Another thing is don't break privacy while taking photographs. I don't want to stay as a proof for any offence like Rape, Theft, mass fighting etc. Instead try to help victims at that time and avoid offence. Really I want to stay as a proof for your golden moments, sweet memories.

        I think I have to stop now. Nobody has time today to read bigger than this. Now I will come next year to meet you again.

It was nice talking to you

Good bye.

Yours

Nice shoot.

Deadlines becoming more dead

Deadline - important buzzword in corporate or sometimes in the case of any commercial work. Every work should have deadline but how much it should have? There is no limit as such. 

Now days, it's becoming more and more tight in some of the fields. Competition and customer's demand for early product/assignment are the two primary reasons for this.  Customer is becoming impatient in these days.  They want everything in lesser time. Sometimes the work is urgent but many times it's not. Only because of their Obduracy or strong desire, they forced the opposition to do the work as soon as possible.

Population is root cause of all of this. To get the job done people are ready to work for delivering in lesser time by taking compromising with their health and maybe other things. 

 Indiscipline is also playing a major role here.  Many times people forget things required for their next plan of action. At 11th hour when somebody reminds them, they outsource that work to third party with only one condition - urgent and finest delivery. We can put ourselves into that bracket as well. If you take a look at small examples like giving our clothes to Laundry just before going to important ceremony, Take vehicle to the garage for servicing after due date or expected time, giving some garments to tailor for our suits and clothes just before major festival, we are showing laziness or indiscipline. Then we expect fast delivery from these people.

Increasing entrepreneurship is also a reason for this.  Big organizations having a monopoly in some of the fields.  They can set their own timelines irrespective of the need of the customer. Entrepreneurs are ready to work day and night for their work for their growth. They are ready to deliver in lesser time keeping an eye on more projects in future.  Due to this competitiveness, big organizations are also forced to set tight deadlines by adopting some different process models or putting more people on the work.   

To achieve these deadlines, we put everything from our side. But one thing is sure we cannot do this throughout the life and should not compromise with our health. The motto behind our hardworking is to live a peaceful and happy life. If we losing both these factors then why we are not thinking in other way.  Do we know that how long we will run in this direction?

I heard in old wars there was basic rule. War has to be stopped at the time of sunset and then resume again after sunrise on the next day. Our ancestors followed this rule at their time while doing war, then why cannot we while doing our normal work. We have to set something like this by mutual understanding from all people. Then only we can enjoy our life while hardworking. Otherwise this is becoming worst and worst every day.
