Operations and Management!
Below is just the collection of thoughts or saying or theories that I have read so far. These are not mine and I don't claim to master at these, but I wanna practise these.
Toyota Production System (TPS) and Lean Production
Lean Thinking, by James Womach and Daniel Jones:
Lean Manufacturing is a 5 step process: Defining customer values, defining value stream, making it "flow", "pulling" from the customer back, and striving for excellence. To be a lean manufacturer requires a way of thinking that focuses on making the product flow through vakue-adding process without interruption (one-piece flow), a "pull" sytem that cascades back from customer demand by replenishing only what the nest operation takes away at short intervals, and a culture in which everyone is striving continuously to improve.

Trade Off
Can you tell one thing you've earned in your life without any ... Trade Off ... Who is behind the neologism of this beautiful world, which takes away the beauty out of our lives, F**kin Trade Off.
Trade-OFF
This word can be used to satisfy ourselves showing what good we have in our bad phases and also frustrate by showing whats not that great in our good times. I had a professor, CJ, who have so many degrees and credentials that it takes one page just to write who he is and what he is. He used to say the same thing about Taxes... yeah Taxes are also a kind of trade off, if you earn high you pay high and if you earn less you save it...
So life imposes taxes on us, not just in one way but in many ways and keeps on doing it continuously and regularly. As I mentioned it might not always be negative, please don't confuse me by another passimistic person, infact I want you to see the optimistic side of this beautiful word Trade-off.
It is our outlook that makes the surrounding like what we want to see. You can see that today you have time but don't have the money and I know lotta friends of mine who have money but don't have this very single moment where then can enjoy. What is this... a trade off. Now the positive outlook of mine makes me happy and I devote myself in the activities where I can enjoy, why do I need money if the guy with money cannot enjoy... so though I might not have the money right now but I still feels like the king of the kings... as I am much more happier... Its just what I want to see makes me what I am.
Today, I am writing this blog after attaining a stablility. I struggled for months to get this job, my first job. I did lots of mistakes and got support from lots of good friends in this journey of mine. I am thankful to my family members who helped me in all this journey. I thank all my friends in India who were continuously motivating me all through the way. I am thankful to my close friends that I have earned here at the US, they stood by my in an important phase (I don't call it bad, as I learned alot during this phase). No trade off... I don't wanna see it as I am happy about it... Yeah I think so... Ain't I??? Trade offs here are like the cost that I am paying to learn and gain the experience.
Prior the job, I always felt that my life is paused, whatever that came to my mind, I puased it myself saying "job milegi tab dekhenge (will see to it when I'get a job)", but actually it doesn't go that way. It was me who paused it but then why am I unable to get rid of that pause, is it because I have moulded myself in that frame of "p' ause" well few things are paused because they cannot be done before the first pay check, but am I sure that I will be able to do after that ... No... infact I am sure I won't be able to do that, because then I will have to pay for the car, my first car. I remeber how happy was I when our family bought its first car, Maruti 800. I will buy a Mazda or may be a second hand Merc, but will I be that happy... ??? No.... Can you tell me what is it if not a Trade-Off ???
If I look forward in my life, what I always try to do. I will come to a phase when I will have to decide about continuing with the Job or Starting my Venture, won't it have a trade off... I will move to India.. leave this confort and work hard to earn back... is this going to be a trade-off, No because I will be satisfied... but will I be at that time... I dunno...
The Pause experienced in various phases in past, the uncertainity of future, makes me think what am I doing right now. I believe, I should stop thinking about my Haves and Have Nots, because they will always be there. I must be myself... This very moment is meant to enjoy, have fun...
Trade offs are always there in each and every thing except, the immense love of your parents... One very good friend of mine said this as... "Maa ka pyaar"

Where does it leads to...
A Journey... A Path... Where does it leads to...
Is there anything like an Absolute Beginning... Is there anything like an Absolute End...
I believe every end has some beginning with it and every beginning has some end with it. Its our wish or our ideology that makes us look at one thing and the gets faded on it own. The perished part doesn't appear neither it get disappeared... its just that we take some time to see that.
With every change associated there are always two angles of it, we wish to see one and we call it as world, though thats just one dimension which we are considering and someone else is looking at the other half, this is also MERE WORLD!
I am on a verge of a situation, I dunno it is an end or another beginning... I don't know what frame I am in and how will I perceive it... I don't care how the others are visualizing it, but to justify myself I want to see it from the right angle. A very simple conclusion is even if you are on the end of one thing, remember there is a beginning of other thing. Do you want start something with a crest or a trough...

Path to follow...Actions make it fulll of Roses or Bushes...
Another incremental thought on life as a game, I believe now life is a PATH...
The game of life the one which you cannot restart or quit, PATH of life like which never ends... You ought to keep going if you are alive... But sometimes one might feel the life is at Pause...
The wind is blowing, sun is rising and setting, everyone is moving, talking and you are a part of everything but still you feel the life is PAUSED!!!
This might be the situation which people might have felt, like what we say Men usual go to their thinking blanket, yeah so when we are in this "Thinking Blanket", we are at a situation when we feel life is Paused, every decision becomes a dependent one. When we are standing at "Y" Junction, and suppose we know a little bit about both the paths, do you think the decision in choosing the Path is easier, I believe its more difficult and when you make a decision, you got to move towards that Path and you proceed on the Path which you know is never going to end and you know you don't know what comes across is the midst, this is LIFE and when you are standing at "Y", thinking, your life is at a PAUSE. We try to gauge the PATH and then decide where we are going to go... but can we really decide or is it pre decided...
One fine evening, after returning from a big party at New York City with very good old friends, in the night I heard about something which I could not believe, a person whom I used to admire so much, who used to kill all the tension in one second by his jolly nature, who has never spoken a single bad work about anyone and who will be your friend in just one minute, was no more on the PATH. His track has changes, beloved Lord has taken him up from this Path and hope gave him a better track, where he will run and achieve new heights. He was our beloved "Gatho Do", Mr. Abhijit Mahato, who died 10 days ago, when someone shot him dead in his own apartment, so was he aware of this before he decided to join DUKE after leaving a well settled life at GE and his parents in the village back in India. NO! he never knew about this...so why do we think that we can decide our whole life when we are in our "Thinking Blanket". But this doesn’t means that one should not at all think before taking any decision, in fact decision are meant to be taken only after a series of deliberate thoughts, but the other part is one should never CRIB about the outcomes, because this is something what you will never know in future, never knew in past and do you think you know in your current decisions???
Without making it a way long, I would cut short it and come to the conclusion, which I have made while writing this blog (That’s why I started writing , just to decide).
In the Game/Path of Life, we would never know the outcome, but can see some hurdles or greetings to a few miles, may be one or two, so never CRIB about what comes in your way and just give your best, because you never know what will come next and you might miss the best while cribbing about what is gone. Just give your best, with full energy and sooner or later you will be rewarded and remember your life would be remember by what you have been with yourself and with everyone, so being good would make you a history and you will live in the memories other wise you will be another block but not a Totem pole which changed the direction in someone else's life.
Decide what you want in your Path... Flowers will be there on your Path if you be a Gardner...
I am working towards being a Gardener, you be what you want
