To be innocent and Naive!!

Oh how great it is when your eyes are still opening to this world... when you dont know many things... when people's reactions come as shock to you... no i am not being arrogant and no i am not saying i know everything... but yet in somecases i know a lot more than i would like to.... i know without even looking that i dont have to worry about the estra IDOC getting created... its a config... and someone spent hours looking for it... is in office till late figuring out the why and what... i remember... when i started my career i spent half a day figuring out an issue which i was getting because i hadn't checked the "upper/lower case" check box... was my 2-3rd day on real work... it was great "figuring" that out... in a way i am glad no one came along and told me this... i remember discovering IDOCs for the first time... how the whole set up is done... how the data is transferred... creating an my 1st idoc... and then spending a few hours and not being able to figure out why is it still in 03... and then someone came along and told me you have to run a report to push it out.... she was a Godess... no one else could know soo much... i literally was in awe of her for soo long... she kne everything... and yet there were people who knew more than her... wasnt it amazing to work amidst such people....
somewhere along the line i lost all this... now i know the report to push idocs exists... even if i dont know its name... i atleast know it exists... even if i dont know for sure it exists i know for sure that there is a possibility it exists... this knowing of the possibility just kills the charm of finding out the report... simply kills it.... whats the charm of discovering something you know exists??
its like i am bored simply because i am a grown up... once upon a time a dolphin show would have amazed me... now i know its just conditioning.... how much charm would a magic show be if you already know what the tricks are???
how many times is a holiday destination not as much fun as it was on tv (well good for me i go for holidays not for the location but for the company and "lets do nothing")....
if only i was as innocent as i was 10 years ago... when the world was filled with people who loved me and would do things because it helped others despite it not benefitting them at all... innocence... something i miss... thank God for the Innocent smoothie though :-)... it never ceases to make me smile... not amaze me but atleast i smile... i dont know if you have had an "innocent" smoothie from the carton (not the small bottle but the 1 litre carton)... the smoothie is good ok... they say its made from real fruit and not concentrate and i believe them... but what i like specially is their box... the things they write on the box... in the ingredients for one particular smoothie they write "5 bananas, 20 strawberries, 20 grapes, half a mango etc etc etc 0 trumpets"... yes the instrument trumpet... 0... ofcourse i know it is silly... i dont expect trumpets in my smoothie... and yes it is useless to mention it i already know it... its obvious... but it is still fun reading it... and then there is one side which i like to call the free text side... till today i haven't seen 2 smoothie cartons with same free text... there was one which had a picture of pyramids on it and a text saying no link we just wanted to draw it and didnt know where... there was one carton which promised that the smoothie is made from real crushed fruit and not concentrate and does not contain preservative... and it said if i dodnt believe them i can go tell their moms!! there was one carton which had a monkey on it.. it said this is space every body needs space i need space u need space the monkey that went to space needed space... and even mango trees need space so that they can grow.... space enough for a tractor to pass between 2 trees for them to be healthy trees and eventually healthy fruit... and then there is the bottom of the bottle... usually there is one or 2 lines there... there was one bottle which had a few quotes about ends from a few famous people and a quote saying your smoothie ends here from innocent.... there was one which said "this smoothie contians no white barry only berries.. ok that was bad" ... :-) i expect to hear it on a talk show... not on my smoothie bottle... and just by doign this they have in me a faithful customer... i have to stop myself from reading what is on the carton the moment i buy it... i like reading it when i am having my smoothie... i have read the "with free language lessons" so many times.. .i read it everytime... i love the smoothie... more for its cover than the real thing... i would so like to say this is because it reflects about the attitude of the people in the top management in turn the attitude of the entire company... i mean what is it in the end? at max a team of 3 people looking up arbit stuff to put on the bottles and coming up with a way to ensure that 2 texts get distributed in far awya areas... and frankly i havent even had enough smoothies to be sure they havent ever repeated a free text... if i think about it its nothing... but it is fun to read it and i am not thinking about it... so yes.. i dont buy this smoothie for the taste or the real fruit or the health reasons... more thann anything i buy this smoothie for the packaging it comes in... it's a standard pack... its interesting and its a bonus that it tastes great (atleast to me) and is made from real fruit (yes i believe them when they say it... otherwise i can tell their moms )!!
