Recession- Time to get united.

Recession- seems to be the only word hovering over the minds of profssionals now a days. I Dont deny the fact that i was also bogged down by the R phenomena of late but now have kinda left it behind me.


With all sympathies to all those who have been affected by it all i can say is the world is not worse around us. There are many positives to derive out of these turbulent times. Being united is one of the first and foremost. Dont be shy to share the impact of recession with your family members. Its not a good time to make them your enemies when you need them the most. Being loyal to yourself and the people who care about you is common sense isn't it.


Plan out cost saving measures and derive fun out of it as i have already started. Can we replace our cars/bikes with bicycles or our corporate/local city buses? Is it a good time to start investing? Will there be any more instances in the future when the stock market will hit such a low? If not why am I not taking advantage of it already? and last but not the least what is that i am doing to change the things around me? are some of the questions which should be flodding our minds than cribbing about the current system.


True that the things will not change overnight but nothing is permanent in this world is also a fact. Atleast when the things turn pleasant we should have soemthing to hatch upon. "Don't wait for extraordinary opportunity . Seize common occassionals and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them."

Bring your outlook calender onto your desktop!!!


The other day I had an important meeting at 4'o Clock and thanks to my awesome mind I completely forgot about that. Only before 15 minutes of the meeting did i get the reminder that I have got myself screwed and should be ready for the presentation in another 10 mins. It freaked me out completely but was able to complete the task on time somehow. Well that was a lucky day for me but one doesnt turns out to be lucky everyday. Does he?



As goes the saying "Necessity is the mother of invention". Ofcourse i didnt invent this but took the pains to find DeskTask with which you can have your entire outlook calendar displayed onto your desktop. If you're hooked on Outlook for scheduling at work or home, DeskTask is an awesome add-on for keeping a close eye on your schedule. You can avail it from millions on site querring for the same via google. I downloaded it here.



There are plenty of other features to it like you can align it to wherever you want onto your desktop, tweak it to show whatever details of the appointment you need to see and lots more. I hope the post is useful for all the outlook users like me.
