Be happy................. at work????

Saw another article on being happy at work..... do this, do that, don't waste company's time/money, be thankful that you have a job, blah, blah, ad nauseum . My question is, why? Ok, I am not supposed to surf the net (or write this blog) on company's time. Accepted. I am not getting paid to write this Insanity. But shouldn't there be a quid pro quo ? I mean, what about all those times I stay behind after 5:30 p.m.? Even 5:30:01 is too late, isn't it? There is an old story about the great Indian statesman, Chanakya, about how he, the Prime Minister of what was then the most powerful empire in the Indian Subcontinent, and most probably in entire Asia, was visited by a friend, one evening while he was doing some official work.

Well, there's some news for you...... the other person thinks the same when s/he looks at your blog...... So, naming this blog Inane and Insane is actually an act of honesty...... of moral courage..... This blog, like any other, is just a forum to air my views, to criticise, to be rude, to do all the other things, conveniently hiding behind the anonymosity offered by the Internet, which I cannot say / do in real life, for fear of being sued, or beaten up, or arrested. So gear up folks!!! It's totally up to you, to decide the order of  Inane and Insane..... But it will be both.... I promise....
