Just the
other day, they were playing this old Hindi classic movie, ‘Bawarchi’.
Instantly, my grumpiness had vanished. Magic!
It was then
when I realized the true worth of good things. A good book, good conversation
or even a good dress; just about anything that is good actually ends up
energizing you and takes away all your tiredness. It’s surprising on how it can
even relieve you off body ache after a tiring gym workout!
Sometimes
while I am working on something that is not one of my favorite things but has
to be done, I feel like just finishing it off. But now when I think about it, I
feel that is not how it should be done. For instance, I hate the documentation
part at my work. I have to prepare a Test Report that gives in details about
the test execution, challenges faced, outstanding issues and a whole lot of
other things. I like executing the test and finding bugs rather than putting in
writing the whole process followed at the end of Test cycle. I believe
execution is more important than this documentation procedure. But on second
thoughts, I realized that if I do it well, it will be helpful during a review
when the product is delivered to customer and will also help me later for my
own reference.
It takes a
lot of patience & hard work to get things done well. A sense of
gratification is achieved in the end when you notice that it has either helped
someone or at least got a smile on someone’s face. For example, ‘Bawarchi’
movie not only made me smile but also gave me some food for thought. Two out of
the many things that the main character mentioned stayed on with me:
·
Everyone
can do their own work but one gets true satisfaction when you do someone else’s
work
·
It
is simple to be happy but difficult to be simple (My favorite!)
This post
is dedicated to that movie which made my day. Also, it has inspired me to do
all my work well to have a ‘good’ day J
