Connecting People

Ok, here goes...

We are an Indian company, with a major stake by a British company, among others we supply to a Finnish company, we make their products on Swiss and Chinese machines. One of the raw materials we source from a small scale industry in the suburbs of Chennai, that particular plant is literally in the backyard of the multi story building  of an American consulting firm. Our supplier unit gets one of its components from Germany. He is also the supplier to Japanese shrimp companies that package and sell to malls in America and Italy.

The world Mr. Friedman is not only flat but right next door!

On God

Picked up Paulo Coelho's Like the Flowing River , browsed a few pieces then tossed it aside. There was something that I couldn't quite stand about the book. Took me sometime to gather my thoughts and realize what was wrong. It was all the stuff written about what God is like and what He expects out of us and how we've got Him wrong. For some reason I instantly distance myself from any such discourses. I don't like people telling me what God is and how I am supposed to look at Him. I am probably not an atheist, I say atheist because I know I am never going to meet God ever, I say 'probably', because atheisim, I feel, seems to be the easy way out, if I ain't seen it I'm not gonna believe it, too simple!

For me God exists in me, my God is the sum total of my experiences that make me stronger and better to face the world. My God is the guy in me who grits his teeth and whispers, "C'mon a little more buddy, almost there now," when the going is tough, My God is the guy who says "Koi nahi yaar! Hota hai!!" when I am feeling blue, He is the one who says, "Shit man! Shouldn't have done that," when I make a mistake or hurt someone. My relationship with my God is extremely personal and I don't want any one telling me how it should be.

My God is all mine. So don't tell me how he should be.
