Communications in Kaliyuga

We are living in an age which the bearded sages categorized as Kali Yuga. You see, in this age you cannot expect anything to be straight. The world will be full of bad people and pitfalls. No one really speaks out what their heart thinks but expects you to be nice to them. However, listening to the people carefully for a few months would enable you to look beyond the words and see the real meaning. Women are experts in this and with some effort we too can learn it. Here are couple of findings from my research

1. What Happened: Your flat mate with out causing much noise is getting ready to go out one evening and when he is about to jump out of the house, you caught him red handed and asked where he is going? He replied that he is going to the super market to buy the groceries. He also enquired you might not at all be interested to come?

What he actually means: He is actually going to the strip bar. Either he doesn’t want your annoying company or he doesn’t want to erase the image of innocent gentleman he maintains back home in India.

What you should do: Join him if you would like to go and ask him instead of buying groceries shall we go to the city which he will gleefully agree to.

2. What Happened: It is late in the night and your flat mate just returned home after a hard working day at the office. He told that he is researching on a new technology and trying to understand the usage of new tool that the company has recently bought which was very interesting.

What he actually means: He is actually chatting with his friends over the messenger and making calls to India. He is also too bored to cook food.

What you should do: Ask him if he would like you to join on the research work every evening.

3. What Happened: One of your colleagues has just arrived at onsite and he informed you that he is actually not interested at all to come abroad. Only after the company requested and insisted on his presence, he finally agreed to come.

What he actually means: He created havoc and cried like hell at offshore for opportunity to come here.

What you should do: Agree with him.

4. What Happened: Your colleague enlightened you that the project you are working is not at all going good. It is being managed in an extremely bad way. The company is itself worse. His previous company is a thousand times better than the present one. He misses it a lot.

What he actually means: This is his first job. Everything else is faked.

What you should do: Enquire about an unknown friend of yours working there.

5. What Happened: An issue aroused in the production. Your colleague is shouting, running and punching the computer. He also informed that this is the most challenging production issue he ever saw.

What he actually means: He absolutely has no clue what the issue is. Restarting the server would fix it.

What you should do: Inform him to restart the server as they normally do for all the issues.
