The most discussed thing during tea time among young(only young?) IT professionals(only IT?) would be girls, women and sex! Talking about worldly pleasures which are not going to add any value to your life. There is nothing wrong in talking worldly matters unless it has something good to do with your or some one else's life. Rest all are waste of time. We need to repeatedly memorize the same... Why am I thinking/talking of this bull thing!
Sankara says:
"naaristhana bhara naabhee desam
drushtwa maaga mohaavesham
edan maamsavasaadi vikaaram
manasi vichinthaya vaaram vaaram"
Yes it means what you are thinking of! Being emotional on thinking of a sexy butly's body is just a lust. It is all flesh and bone...the same things that you have in you. Remember this again and again.
Some times your work environment will seem to be a heaven. You will see all good things in it. May you praise it! May be you become poetic on it. Looking very closer to each detail of a thing. Project or work is just an example. Let it be some other useless thing. Still the whole world is running with ego, greed and diseases. Life is always tough man...! Believe it. It is never a cake walk. Elaborating this, Sankara says:
"nalini dalagatha jalam athi tharalam
thath thwath jeevitham athisaya chapalam
viddhi vyaadhyabhimaana grastham
lokam soka hatham cha samastham"
A drop of water on a lotus petal will be very beautiful to see. It is poetic and romantic. But it is very uncertain too. It's life will end when the sun starts staring on earth. The same applies to human life also. Here, instead of sun, our own greed works out to make ourselves uncertain.
