Requirement!

I was sitting in my GPM's cubicle along with Manish.

"What is requirement?" He asked.

"Why is he asking such a weird question" We thought.

"You guys have learnt SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) right" He added.

I said "Well requirement is something that the client needs us to develop..........blah blah"

He gave a blank stare with an open mouth.

"Requirement is the phase in which we try to know what client wants.....blah blah" Manish persuaded.

His mouth didn't close-lest he looked unimpressed.

We tried a lot but none of our answers worked. After about 10 minutes of drama on this question he decided to let the cat go out of the hat-finally.

"You guys really need to brush up your concepts" He said.

"Requirement is a NOUN !!" He mockingly said.

So dear friends you'll be happy to know that the hunter was finally hunted down. Alas!

Ordinary People

Walking on the road, you pass so many people. Some look confident, purposeful, well-dressed, well-maintained. But the majority appear so ordinary, wear ill-fitting clothes, unfashionable footwear, have too much fat or too little, nothing remarkable about them, nothing attractive.

But yet someone somewhere eagerly waits for this unimpressive man to come home every evening.
Someone's entire world turns around the strength of this frail-looking woman.
Someone's very purpose in life hinges on this brash youngster cutting through traffic.
Someone knows only the shelter of these old arms each time their world begins to crumble.
Someone will count hours, minutes, and weep like a child when this pock-marked face alights from a long-distance train.

Someone will cave in, crack up, and never be the same again if this one person disappears from the face of the world.

There are no ordinary people.
