I am 33 this year. Born into this world on September 12th of 1976. He gave me a chance to be a part of HIM. I truly appreciate the gift of life that He has given me. I celebrate Birthdays, Valentines, Christmas,any events with a blast in my heart; You know why? Because every moment I get to live makes me realize how carefully He is taking me around. I am grateful to Him for everything. Sometimes when I feel I am drowning in the tempest of life, there comes a hand that doesn't just throw the life jacket to me but picks me out from the whirlwind and holds me close to Him that I can hear His Heart beat, sounding "I am here for you; why did you worry? I gave you life; I know how to take care of you."
I am thankful for each day, every second that I am here, on this Earth. How beautifully He has molded me to fit me rightly into His big picture.
I thank you for YOU, my life, my child, my faith, and my family.
Always yours
Jess.

Looks matter
I know you! you will see the heading and go wild. But its true. Looks matter. It does not mean perfection, it does not mean complete. It means, it meets your expectation. You still don't get it? See I love roses but you may like jasmines more. Why? Its what your mind considers beautiful than a rose. This does not mean you don't like roses.
This is the same with life. You must like your match. She/He may not be Aiswariya Bachan but she/he must be your Madonna.
Why am I writing this?! I had a conversation with a friend. Somehow we ended up on this topic. He said, "I don't care about looks. She must be pleasant. 90% of Indian women are pleasant." I disagreed with my friend. I told him,"Looks matter." My daughter was listening to this conversation and she said, " Mom alway says, Looks don't matter only Love matters." This blog is for her.
My love, for you age this is true. Don't choose your friends only based on looks. Don't distinguish anyone by their color, race or caste. Choose them because they are nice. Choose them because they need you and you need them. When I told then 'Looks do matter', it was meant for someone much older and I didn't mean it the way the words sounded. I am sorry.
You want to choose someone in your life you feel comfortable waking up to see everyday morning. He is your hero. He may look like a wild beast but still your handsome prince. Thats the look I was talking about. When you grow up and read this you will know.
Love Mom.

Application failure
Too many cooks spoil the broth. This is what is happening in todays industry. If you have good cooks its a different story. To get a good requirement, analyst, developer or tester is like searching for a needle in the haystack. I am sure you will agree with me.
This is from my experience. The amount of drama thats goes around on a small issue is not describable in some Organizations. Many times people don't even reason. Its tragic to see someone's money going wasted.
Work environment is purely professional. Someone is paying you. You must always learn to use your sound judgement there. You need to be calm to analyze the problem. Work with the team to get around the issue. First and foremost KNOW THE BUSINESS.
There is a testing phase in every good organization. This phase we must be able catch the functional issues as much as possible so that functional issues will not be the problem that would arise from production to you. In case you are getting produciton functional issues that means you failed in testing your application.
Its normal to find few issues in production always. But if your basic functionality is not working correctly in production that means you have failed in your testing.
That s where this commotion begins. Now starts - Finding the fault with the other, trying to keep your head safe. The chaos! I find it a pity.
The fundamental issue is difficulty to find the right person. If your Organization has the right people I am sure you are doing good.

Right Move
Dear Friend,
I am right now at a blank point. I don't know if you understand what I mean. Have you ever felt like you are at a standstill and, Now what to do?, is the question that you keep asking yourself and the question keeps echoing to you but no answer.
You need to find your way. Thats the scariest thing. Finding the right answer. Making the right move. Protecting everyone that you are responsible for.
I wish Life was easy. If our lives were easy, like some of our school exams. No choices, there is only one right answer and you have already learned it.
Have you taken drivers license test in USA? Especially in some States the answer may be a word different from the other 3. Sometimes you loose by a point. Its the same with life.
In life, there are options. Its the right choice that will take you where you want to go. Don't think that many of us know the answer or smart enough to find the right one. Let me tell you something, those of you selected the right answer, at least 90 percent of you didn't choose but things just fell into perspective by God 's grace thats all.
In my life I never had anyone to ask than God about the choice and sometimes the answer were very difficult to find. I had to make a decision finally. I used close my eyes, heart beating faster than lighting, and make the decision. Many times Life does not give you enough time.
Let me tell you something, any decisions that I made keeping God as my all, never failed me. You may say I am just lucky. Lucky is a huge word Dear. I am not even near the word L of 'lucky'. Life has been a struggle for me from the beginning.
I know,..., I know, what you are saying!!..Jessa, do you know what is hunger? ans: NO. Do you know what is Slavery? ans: NO. Do you know being without electricity studying under the street light? ans: NO. Then how do you say, your life is a struggle? To this question, I am lost.
Let me put to picture what it is like to be in my shoe. Do you know how it feels, standing in front of a shop looking at the thing you want the most but can't get. Thats exactly what my life is. I am not talking about a exclusive shoe or other luxuries but basic needs. If you don't travel in car everyday, you don't generally miss it. But when you are given the sample then you cant have it, its horrible. Its like, remember when our Moms used to play, TAKE..OH YOU MISSED..TAKE ...OH YOU MISSED it. Thats exactly how it is.
Now I need to make some choices in my life. If I was alone even falling from a cliff would have been OK but I have a gift. A precious one. I need to make the right move and thats not a choice.
Lord, help me move on successfully in My Life. I cant make one wrong move, if so My kingdom will perish and I will lose the game.
Love
Jess.

Secret to Youth
Today I am going to talk about a secret. I am sure millions of dollars are being spent on inventing man killing, man disfiguring medicines to make you look younger.
Our body is what our mind is and nothing less. And no medicine can do the miracle that God has already revealed and given into your hands.
Look at kids. You say "Kids have no worries". I disagree They have. A pimple is one their major worry. And its a big worry for their young minds like money is for us.
I dont think anyone wants to be a 2 year or even a six or 12 but generally people prefer to always remain 16 to 20. Those are the most beautiful years of any human lives. So lets go back and think what was happening to us at that age. What kept us young were the HORMONES. The desire to explore and conquer the world; the desire to look good; The desire to attract the other sex; The desire to smell the fresh air.
If you can still keep this up, you will look young at even 50. Trust me. That is the secret.
Now how to do this? This is a lot of work. Some of my friends go to gym to reduce weight while others cry about their mass. Unfortunately these things are only going to help with your muscles a lil, or heart, let me put in percentage, 1 %. Why? Because you are not enjoying it but forcing yourself to get on the tread mill or I dont know what people do. (Crying clears ur eyes)
Think how you changed. See worries are your companions and its always going to be there. Dont use that as an excuse to say "Worries made me what I am". Well, a part of it is true.
The other day I went to a party in a Pub. Almost all of them there were young kids. Looking for love. Where are the adults? They are at home worrying, cooking, cleaning, and mouring life. By the way I dont approve of over use of alcohol or any use of drugs OR getting preg at 16 nor having sex with a man you just met at the street light. Letting loose for few hours.
Let me sum it up. Each of us enjoy different things. The key word is ENJOY. Enjoy is not worry free or lack of responsibility enjoy, but engulfing your life you should be that kid you were when you were 16. Believe me, its very difficult.
I used to play batminton, still do, play tag, seventiles. I was a busy body. Now I dont find a lady who does this. You can find Men though doing this and they look young and vital. Ladies, its a rare sight. They always have the babies to take care of but when it comes to work to make money no complains about kids, they are on time. They are busy wanting to look like 60 at the age of 30 and later its too late. And YES they keep visiting the gym to look slim.
The day you stopped being that kid you are in your 60s. Have you noticed, women at 60does not look old. I have heard many people say "Oh my God, She never looked this good in her 30s". What is again the secret of that 60 year old, she is again starting value HER life.
Our kids are the greatest things but how many of us jump along with them and play? If you are doing atleast this, you will look the best.
Take some time to enjoy living. This is the secret. And those medicines, believe me with having artificial hormones in them will still not work for you. So why not let your body do the work of creating natural hormones for you to look FRESH.

Frequency Curve
Hello once again,
Hey, do you remember the physics classes we had. Our teach in front of the black board drawing the frequency graph. Yeah! that 's pretty much my life. I would have been on top of the world if it modulated a little less. Man, one day, its full of joy then, for a season something disturbing going on! I dont know how many of us are blessed with this kind of life, but I can assure you when we reach HOME, there is going to be a lot to chat with our Father in heaven about this journey. He may react just as I do to JoAnna, "Jessa, go take a bath. Enough of this. Eat something....." You know, the parent talk. But I sure have a lot of adventure to tell Him. He better be prepared for it. I am Crazy about HIM. My mighty God. Anyway less of spiritual and more to reality...so dear, do you know any solution? If you do please let me know.
I work with a different group of people. Each or most of them are different. Well how different? Very. They use you and then thats it. Just like the bone. They eat to your marrow and chew you out. Oh! mind you I have no issues with these people, My life is too complicated to even bother. But I do like to study people from far. I dont want to befriend any of them. Just watch the wierdness thats all!
You know something, you feel attracted to some people and nothing to others and hatred to few. I dont know why this is so? Isn't it a mystery? That person may not even be your dream figure. But something starts to come alive when around this person and even if you try not to show it, your body just don't cooperate. Believe me this is the worse situation you can be in - when you want to keep your feelings to yourself, your eyes, your body they all becomes your enemy, they just expose you. Traitors! why?
Anyway back to my curve, I need to acheive life. I need to move on in life, climb the ladder. For some people everything comes in a silver platter and others, we need to give our life for it. No no! dont say "Jessa everybody needs to work hard for acheiving this". I am tired of hearing this. Some people do get everything in life. Open your eyes wide and see.
So, How are we going to do it? To make life a little less bumpier!
