Rocket Science!!!!

Right after my undergrad, I joined a company.
With no or barely little knowledge of how stuff works types.
Always puzzled and amazed by how much people know and how much knowledgable they are.
I used to talk to one of my team senior guys who was more so like my mentor and any help on technical stuff I used to bank on him.
Whenever I was in AWW!!! of something like if someone knows something technical or not necessary technical ( egs I was amazed when I came to know my director knew how to drive a bobcat).
He used to tell me "So what it is not a Rocket Science"...
Those were the days I realised, actually all the things are difficult untill you give it a shot and after that same thing seems doable if not easy :).
Today if you are asked to do something new and you are nervous by how difficult things are and if you are amazed by how that person knows so much.
Only thing that should or may stop you would be inertia and your laziness of not digging.
Rest I am sure it is not a Rocket Science.

Well said, Aarti. Same concept, albeit different application --

I watched 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' yesterday, and was chatting w/ a gent when he said that he always found his g/fs rocket-science while chasing them. But once the birdie was in the nest, it was all over. We concluded that most people enjoy the chase (be it of members of opposite gender, or money, or fame, or career, or anything else). Once the chase is over (and when you succeeded in the chase), you realize that it is no rocket-science.

dil kahe ki aaj to chhupa lo tum panaah mein, ki dar hai tum ko kho doonga,
dil kahe sambhal zara, khushi ko na nazar laga, ki dar hai main to ro doonga...

Killer man!
