HR REVIEW

Why do we want to go back?

2011-10-12T13:52:00.000+05:30

I will call it 'My inability to manage different things' because of which I was not able to post even a single blog post in the last 5+ months. But I am glad to announce that I am back with a pure intention of being regular for all of you.

Yes, you read it right - I am back. Have you ever thought on why we wish to go back to the old days of our life? (I am sure that most of us wish that) For me, the prime reason will always be feelings attached. Ask an American who has been working in a foreign country for more than 15 years and have been meeting his family in every 2-3 years. Ask a kid who left his home just because he got beaten up by his dad for stealing some pennies. Do they ever think of going back? Yes, they do.

Each of us would want to have a great future. But, only few of us were able to take the loved ones with them in the journey. The American working in a foreign country might be earning huge money, but he definitely miss earning that old salary of $500 a month and spending that with his wife and kids. The kid who left his home might have reached heights after leaving the home, but he will definitely miss those slaps from his father.

We all want to go back, but very few of us have the courage to do so. Take the step. If you are in a situation where you can increase your happiness, go back. Go back and grab your happiness. You can start your journey after taking your loved ones with you.

I Dream, I Do, I Fail, and I Quit

2011-03-30T19:02:00.000+05:30

This is something which is common between many of us. There are many situations when I realized that I do not have it in me to work for the thing I want to achieve. That is where I always quit.

Even after knowing that it is ME who is stepping back here, I somehow convinced my inner self that I would try to do something better than this. That "something better" always replaced another "something better", and I got nothing. That is my story, that might be yours too.

I wanted to learn something out of those failures, so I tried to find out the reason behind me quitting things. Lets take it this way. When you want to push a car, you require an initial boost which has to be good enough to make the car move. But once the car starts moving, all you need is the equal force which will be lesser than what you used earlier.

Coming back to the implications on Life, your dreams are something which you want to achieve. The initial boost required to work on your dreams will be proper homework, planning, self-motivation and support. The initial boost decides your success or failure.

Work real hard and serious till you make your first move. And once you will be make your first move, your previous moves will help you motivating yourself for further moves.

What I have is not what I always wanted

2011-01-31T17:56:00.000+05:30

Dream of having the best toy ever;

Dream of having the best friends in school ever;

Dream of having studied in the best school/college;

Dream of having the best job ever;

Dream of having the best love ever.

These are some of the most common dreams which we all have/had. Some got fulfilled, some do not. But one thing will always remain in us – We never stop dreaming. It is only the inner wish to work for the dream that we start putting efforts to achieve that goal.

We start the initial efforts with enough hard work and determination. But what do you think of the reason behind some of us achieving the set goals and some not achieving it. It may be the lack of hard work, smart work, determination, or something else. But one big reason is the inability to access your progress.

Let us take the reference of the following life graph. We are at the point O. The point we want to reach is A. The journey is the straight line, but there are some things in our life which divert us a little. These things can be our friends, family, or anyone/anything else. That diversion seems so negligible that we find ourselves on the right track. Say right now (after the less diversion), we are at the point which is at 2x vertical distance from the line OA.

I will completely agree with the point that this diversion is too small for that instance. And this is what goes wrong. This small diversion finally takes us to the point B. When we reach point B, we realize that this is not something I dreamed of.

The best way to avoid this situation is to access you at each stage. I do understand that some so-called diversions are tough to avoid; and it will be always wise to return to the right track even if you are at 2x distance from the actual line.

Lousy Questions, Lousy Answers

2011-01-18T11:00:00.000+05:30

Introspection - what a word! And it will not be wrong to say that it really helps. But what if you do it the way you are not supposed to do it.

I have seen many people who practice self-motivation and introspection. Some are real successful in this as they really do understand their true self, but some have messed it up. Lets have a look at some of the good questions to help yourself get motivated.

1. You say - "If he can do it, why cannot I do it?" Your inner-self says - "Yes, you can do it too."

2. You say - "This time I will give the best." Your inner-self says - "Yes, you will."

These can be some of the most common questions which you usually ask to our inner-self, and you do get positive answers. But there are many of you who always have lousy questions for your inner-self. Lets have a look at it.

1. You say - "I am the world's most idiot person." Your inner-self says - "Yes, you are."

2. You say - "I am not going to get anything by doing this." Your inner-self says - "Yes, you will get nothing."

Your inner-self is not programmed for giving positive answers only. It works the way you want it to work. You ask positive questions, you get positive answers. Next time, when you practice this exercise keep in your mind that the inner-self works on the same principle of GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Now you decide whether you have Garbage for yourself, or something useful.

Feel Proud of yourself!

2010-12-21T21:19:00.000+05:30

Spending last two days in not-so-normal mood, I was continuously thinking of the reason behind it. I had a fight? No. I lost something? No. Anything else unusual? A big NO. I am 100% sure that I am not the only who felt like this, or Am I?

After getting back to normal, I started thinking about something which I am proud of. Why? I wanted to know if there is anything I am happy for. I wanted to know something I think I have done very well. I wanted to know which makes me feel little different from others.

When I say PROUD, I do not mean the dominant feeling of putting yourself over others. I just mean the inner sense of feeling your worth, your importance. Think about any moment, any work, any instance, which you are proud of. It can be you having good muscles, you donating to the poor and needy, you helping others, or anything else.

It will not be wrong to say that when we feel proud of ourselves, our body language changes completely. The straight head starts looking in the sky, the nervous eyes becomes alert, the bent shoulder gets filled with air, and we start moving as if we rule the world. Isn't it? Whatever you do in that feeling is your best.

There are many of us who think they are good for nothing, or they get disappointed so early. This post is dedicated to all those friends. You see things when you want to see. You may not notice Red color around you unless you try to. And when you try to notice Red color, you find it even if it is not rarely visible.

What are you proud of?

Decide your Happiness Level

2010-11-19T19:43:00.000+05:30

We all dream, but only few of us really meet their dreams. All we want in life is SUCCESS, and why not. We have got lot of working hard ability in us. We have got so much potential in us.

The first thing we do for getting success is dream. By dream, I do not want to differentiate between the realistic and the unrealistic dream as that we will be taking later in our blog as a separate post.

We set our targets, our goals; and start working towards them. As every one of us is different, so are our targets and goals. A poor farmer might set his target to have enough money and food to take care of his family and their wishes. A small businessman may want to turn himself into Business Tycoon. An entry level working professional may want to become the CEO of a company. That is how it is, and that is how it is going to be.

But do we really take the word “Success” as same? Let us define the targets and goals which we want to achieve as Happiness Level. So we all have different Happiness Levels. When we attain that Happiness Level, we call it the achievement of the success. But there can rarely be only one Happiness Level in one life. As soon as we achieve the existing Happiness Level, the current level gets shifted to the next Happiness Level. There are those who have one Happiness Level, and even after achieving only that level in their life they continue to be happy. Not forgetting the third category, there are those who do not achieve their Happiness Levels; reason may be anything.

Life is all about being happy. Success can never be pre-defined. Some are happy after having everything, some are happy after having something, and some are happy even after having nothing. Decide your Happiness Level, and work to achieve it.

"Life as a Video Game" is Fun

2010-10-14T21:05:00.000+05:30

We all have our own interests. One of the most common things which we all love to do is playing Video Games. Why not? We have Strategy games, Action games, Puzzle games, which help us build our Reaction time and Thinking Ability, and most importantly – remove Boredom.

It brings me a great surprise when I see people struggling to learn a Video Game. I myself played Need for Speed (NFS) several times with continuous failures to learn Drifting. We fail, but we always try as we know that it will take time to learn. But are we doing the same thing in our real life? How many times do we try to increase our productivity at work? How effectively are we searching for jobs?

When we play Counter Strike or Call on Duty, we can stay up all night; and when we have nothing to do we often sleep by 10pm. That is just because of the Passion and Motivation, which act as the driving factors to play better and better every time. We have three lives in Mario. When we are killed once, we play the remaining two lives with same (or better) intensity. Aren’t we?

Why can’t we do that in real life? The opportunities we have are our lives. We have it many. When we fail once in something, we start taking it as the end. Why can’t we take it as lose of one life in the game, and go ahead with the same passion and motivation? Life can be fun if take it that way.

3 types of Dogs

2010-10-13T20:21:00.000+05:30

There are three types of Dogs. First, those who are calm and never bark or bite. Second, those who always bark and never bite. Third, those who always bite after they bark.

Neither I am writing any thesis on Dogs, nor writing a story. I just wanted to compare humans with dogs. The different behaviors of people around us can be compared with these three types of Dogs.

There are many who fall in the Type-1 category. These people do their work, and let others do their too. These people are calm and cool, and spend their whole life being honest to themselves.

Type-2 category and Type-3 category cannot be identified very easily. This is where the problem lies. We can never know whether the Dog which is barking may bite, or not. These two categories may negatively impact us the most. I am sure that many of us must have faced people whom we will never hesitate to call – “Back Stabbers, Bastards, Suckers, and Anti-happiness” and many more which I leave on to you.

Type-1 is not at all affecting any of us. Let’s discuss a simple and effective way to handle the other two categories. We all must have seen Street Dogs who bark and follow every passerby. What do they do when we turn up, and act as if we are throwing something on them? They run away, right? And if we do the same thing to a trained Dog, it will let us taste the Dog-bite.

Life is synonymous to Risk, so let us bring it here. If we are negatively affected by the Type-2 and Type-3 category of people, we will be having two options – to keep quiet and let them affect us, or to fight back. If we keep quiet, we will surely going to face the consequences. But if we fight back, there are chances that the person who is troubling us is just like a Street Dog.

If you really want to identify between Type-2 and Type-3, just turn back. You will get your answer.

Learn to fight, not to keep quiet.

Hidden-to-Unhidden Ability Shift

2010-09-05T18:17:00.000+05:30

We all have some unhidden and many hidden abilities within ourselves. The hidden-to-unhidden shift happens only when the required efforts are put. Confused? Let me put it like this.

When I started learning to ride the bicycle, I did not know how to do it. My brother told me everything which was required, but that was all theoretical. I tried it, and failed several times. I fell thousand times, and finally learnt it.

So, here my hidden ability will be "not able to ride a bicycle", and unhidden ability will be "to be able to ride the bicycle". This shift happened only because of my efforts, right? this is what happens at every moment in our life. We do only those things which we know, and leave what we do not know. We do not know those things just because we have not tried them. Our thoughts just ignore the Hidden-to-Unhidden Ability Shift process.

Always remember - "This shift happens only when we what it to be".

Being Alone, or Being Lonely?

2010-08-27T21:02:00.000+05:30

"Loneliness is something which we feel,
it may be worse as it may kill."

People are happy, people are sad. People may act, people may remain silent. We do something which is not expected, we do not do something which is expected. Some of us feel happy when others cry, some just start crying when others cry. This is what we are, and that is what makes us COMPLEX human beings.

According to many Psychologists, we are more disturbed by the word "LONELINESS" than "rape", "kill", "death", or "murder". Most of you might be thinking that you are lonely. The greatest confusion comes between the words - "Lonely" and "Alone". These are completely different feelings, and they often confuse us. Let me try to make them more clear.

Let me tell you about the word "Alone" first. It means you are physically near to no one. It is often considered positive for us as it may refresh our mind, generate confidence, help in effective thinking process, or can help solve critical problems. For example, you are a writer and if you are alone, then it will help you think in better way and will bring better results. You may be alone by your choice, or because of circumstances.

Now lets talk about "Lonely". In general, the word "Lonely" is considered as a situation where the person suffers mentally and face negative consequences. The person here feels as if he has lost his identification, his worth, or his understanding. A person can be lonely even when he is in between a huge crowd, or even if he is with someone who care for him a lot. Loneliness is something which kills bit by bit, and there comes the time when serious consequences are faced by the lonely person.

Loneliness is the biggest enemy of the human society, and those who are lonely can understand - why it is. A person can be both alone and lonely too. We all may have touched someone who is really lonely, and is really not in a state to help himself. Help that person, or else he may have silent death.

Is this Competition?

2010-08-27T15:40:00.000+05:30

Long ago, we successfully crossed the "Survival of the fittest" challenge. It is just because of that we are here today. That time, there was no word called "FAIR", no word called "UNFAIR"; our ancestors just did it as they had no other options.

Here we are, having competition in our blood. Always ready to win over others. We have crossed all limits of being unfair. When my brother is progressing, I will push him down and will start my journey on his foot steps. When the best colleague in my organization is doing good, I will be the one who will be a backstabber. When my best friend in my school is getting highest marks, I will make plans to get him into the allegations of malpractice.

This is what we have become. When we win, we expect others to take it sportively; and when others win, let the word "sportive" go to hell.

Are we really made for this?

Life is a Race

2010-08-21T22:09:00.000+05:30

Life is a race,
which we all have to face,

You can lead,
or can go dead,

You can win,
or can go to sin,

It is all in your hand,
wherever you want, you can land,

You try once, you try twice,
every failure will make you wise,

It is all on you as if you dare,
the efforts will never go spare.

India's 63rd Independence Day

2010-08-15T12:31:00.000+05:30

"I have feelings, but I don't want to share;
I want to do something for my country, but fighting is not just a single way;
I respect my country, but respect comes from the heart;
My country will prosper, but it will take time."

This is what we have in mind. 15th is a great occasion to wish, meet, eat, hang-out, and shopping. Do we really mean to wish? "Mera Bharat Mahaan" se Bharat mahaan nahi hoga. Take initiate, and encourage others.

JAI HIND!!!

"No Arms, No Legs, No Worries" Man

2010-08-10T22:05:00.000+05:30

Today I read a lot about “No Arms, No Legs, No Worries” man – Nick Vujicic. We all know about him, and have seen many inspirational videos. So, I do not want to share any of his inspirational stories and how he fought back with God’s creation.

One thing which I can conclude from this great man’s life story till now is – “What you got, has nothing to do with what you can do”. The ability to do things lies within us. There are times where a stupid person (which people call him) can do things which even the most intelligent person can never do. It is just because of the fact that the stupid person wanted to do that, and the intelligent one doesn’t.

What you have, is not at all enough to do all that which you want to do.

Believe in yourself. Look inside more than you look outside.

What do you do?

2010-08-05T20:19:00.000+05:30

Every time we meet a new person, the conversation starts with the “name” and “what do you do?”. There are many of us who are doing something which is not our passion, and the “what do you do” from others seems like a big blow to us. You know why? Because we do not want to answer that “9 to 5 shift” as we do not want to show ourselves in a pigeon hole.

We do have our passion with us (may be writing, painting, playing, etc.), but that is not what our occupation is.

Let us try it out like this for the next time. When someone asks you the “what do you do” question, try to respond as – “Currently I am working as a Store Manager, but my real passion is Painting”. You will be amazed to see the results. This will make you realize your true identity, your true passion, your true life. The day will not be too far when you will really be working with your passion, which you always thought of doing.

If you can’t do it, you will always be at the same place. Dare to Dream!

Happy Friendship Day!!!

2010-08-01T19:03:00.000+05:30

I cried when I went to school for the first time,
As it was a new change in my life.

I had no one to talk to, no one to play with,
But then I met special someone.

The person was not my Mom, not my Dad, not even my Siblings,
The person was just someone who was just an Angel.

He talked to me, he fought with me,
He loved me, he slapped me,
He cared for me, he kicked me,
He brought food for me, he took food from me,
He helped me, he took my help,
He tried to teach me all that I needed.

That was the past, this is the present,
But he has never thought of changing with this changing world.

He was with me, he is with me,
I pray that he will always be with me.

Thank you God for giving me,
An Angel called FRIEND.

Happy Friendship Day to all my Visitors!!!

Did I say that?

2010-07-30T11:46:00.000+05:30

People say and people do; but it is no longer true!!!
Now they say; and later say, " I din't say."

Quite confusing? There are very few of us who really mean all that which we are saying. Be it an acceptance of some invitation, be it inviting someone, or be it anything. We just commit, and forget about the commitment. There are many of us who don't even care about all this, as even they forget about the commitment made by the other person. Just think about the person who is really looking for the fulfillment of the commitment made by you.

I have seen many people who just believe in throwing big words, and when the time comes for the fulfillment they just say that they din't mean it this way. Today, very few people really mean their words; and there are many who are not even committed to themselves.

Think about it!!!

New Rupee Symbol Installation

2010-07-18T14:13:00.000+05:30

India has come up with a new symbol for its currency. Here is what economic times published---

"No words can explain my feeling....It is a great honour for me to be part of the Indian history," said a jubilant D Udaya Kumar who gave the Indian rupee its unique symbol.

The 31-year-old IIT-B post graduate in industrial design also feels that his use of Devanagri script helped him clinch the coveted honours.

"Indianising the symbol was very important. I had to be simple and acceptable nationally and internationally. It had to reflect our culture and ethos," Kumar, who would be joining IIT (Guwahati) as Assistant Professor tomorrow, said.

"My design is based on the tricolour, with two lines at the top and white space in between. I want our flag to fly high," Kumar said with a broad smile.

How can you download this new symbol on your computers and laptops?

Click Rupee_Foradian.ttf

How to use it?

Use the grave acent symbol - ` (the key just above "tab" button in your keyboard) with the new Rupee symbol. Just select "Rupee Foradian" font from the drop down list of your fonts in your application and press the key just above your tab button. It will display our new rupee symbol.

That's Individualism

2010-07-07T21:01:00.001+05:30

We all want to make our own individuality, right? It is just because of that we want to become perfect opportunists. The race to perfection is never realized, and we ultimately find ourselves among mean-people who are all alone. At that point, we realize the importance of being with our near and dear ones.

The thirst of success makes us to kick others and climb the S-ladder. Even if we can see the opportunity of the success of two people together, we try to kick him. When we sit and think about the reasons behind doing these things, we just feel that we did it as others are doing the same.

I think that we have done it enough. We should always try to take others with us to success. There are many who need our help in climbing the ladder. Do not climb without taking anyone with you; else you will be dying with your unknown individuality.

If you have made it like this, that's what real individualism is.

Busy-Bees

2010-06-25T17:58:00.000+05:30

There was a time when things like money, power, and show-offs used to decide your status. As time keeps on changing, so do this equation.

People have started adding a new component – being BUSY. I am not going to talk about the real hard working busy people who have forgotten everything being busy. I am talking about the pretending BUSY-bees. When these bees find that the people around them are really doing great and are always busy, they start taking them as busy. Though they have lot of time and are doing nothing, but they convey to everyone that they are busy.

Professionalism, but not Actually

2010-05-04T14:54:00.000+05:30

The word, Professionalism, sounds really very catchy to me. I always thought of being a professional, not in terms of the profession I am in, but I wanted to be professional in terms of the commitment, time, work, understanding and feelings.

There are some persons who love to call themselves "A Professional", but I do not understand "why?". If they think what they are doing is right, the same thing becomes wrong for them when they find others doing the same. If they cannot take care of the time, they expect others to be on time. If they think that they are making sense, why others always sound non-sense to them. Why? Why? Why?

This is what I think always about being "A Professional". If this is Professionalism, then I think that I would love to be "Exactly OPPOSITE to this".

Who is Professional?

Being Creative is Creativity in itself

2010-03-26T12:21:00.000+05:30

Creativity makes the impossible a possibility, it has been said. It's no exaggeration to say that nothing is impossible. Why did God create that if it's useless to human beings. Why was it invented then? Everything has a purpose in our lives. We, people, should know how to use all things and make them useful.

So, being creative is one of the main points of it. It always knocks in our lives every now and then. If you deny creation's invitation, it also means you deny the whole expression of being human. Teaching creativity to oneself is a constant invitation. Teaching creativity to ourselves is necessary. Whenever it appears in front of you, grab it and make it as your own uniqueness. Teaching creativity to yourself is a kind of talent that nobody can steal. Care for it and merit it. It doesn't pick favorites. It gives an unconditional view and the constant invitation to play...to everybody.

Thanks to Amy Twain who is continuously working to help us in self-coaching.

Review on BROKEN by J Matthew Nespoli

2010-03-20T12:17:00.000+05:30

I recently wrote one book review on BROKEN by J Matthew Nespoli.

In short, Broken doesn't drain you of all the energy you have, like some books with heavy themes do. It doesn't make you shake your head at the stupidity of the characters or the plot, like stories about troubled teenagers and young people sometimes do. It has a beautiful concept. The author hasn't created the characters, rather based them on various interesting people he met during his journey. This makes the characters real. This makes the tone authentic. I believe this is enough to make readers get hooked to it and finish it without much ado. I am sure, at the end of it, their thoughts and appreciation would be coherent and not broken.

The Art of PERSUASION

2010-03-03T11:16:00.000+05:30

Have you ever tried to persuade anyone? People say that the art of persuasion is very difficult to master, and I strongly agree with them.

I feel that persuading anyone is directly related to our ears. How? People never care for your words and knowledge until they know how much you care for them. Just take yourself to a discussion between 5 humans. One is speaking and you are busy in your own world. Now it is your turn to speak and that person will make sure that he convert your speech to a simple bark which nobody cares about.

We need to listen to understand, not just wait for our turn to speak. We need to show our true feelings to what others are speaking about, no matter how rubbish they are. Listening, this way, is a must for Persuasion. And listening, of course, need ears.

Do you believe?

2010-02-27T10:46:00.000+05:30

"To believe is to accept that something is real without having any proof."

Our limiting beliefs tend to hold us back from our intentions and prohibit us from manifesting what we truly want in life. I continue to struggle with this at times but I always chose to believe! Be sure about what you really want. Tell yourself you deserve! Yes, you deserve it regardless of your past or your current situation. You can have anything you want in life. Anything is possible! The universe wants to give you everything you desire! I want you to have it too!

Coming soon..

2010-02-05T16:02:00.001+05:30

There are many people who are increasingly using Google Maps these days. Why? Not just for the common purpose, they have special targets now. There are many of us who want to do a proper homework to get away from the Shiv Sena on this Valentines Day.

There are few places which are not away from the reach of Shiv Sena. Shiv Sena oppose Valentines Day as it is not good according to Indian Culture (everyone has their own views so do they). Youngsters are busy searching the aloof places by using Google Maps and Google Earth to spend the precious moments together.

This is what most of us do. When we know that our specific action may cause us some harm, we try to find out things which may help us saving ourselves from that harm.

All the best Couples and Shiv Sena.

There is no limit

2010-01-30T14:10:00.001+05:30

There are people who always say, "This is the maximum which I can do". I think that there is no limit for anything. Nobody thought that we will be able to fly. Nobody thought we will having a surface where we can do anything just by touching the screen.

The recent example is the Apple Tablet PC called iPad. Steve Jobs with his team has brought it to us. Similarly our ability to do anything is not limited. The only thing which makes it limited is the thinking. We think that we can't do this, and we don't do that. We think that we can do this, and we do that.

This is the power of thinking. Don't think that you are weak. The maximum bad will be the Failure nothing else.

I am the only one with pain

2010-01-30T13:58:00.000+05:30

Cry, always cry. There is nothing left in your life. Those who want to cry just because they are getting pains in their life always lag behind. They waste their time crying. I am neither spreading a message for not crying, nor saying that those who cry are all empty bags.

There is no point shouting how much pains you have. There are people who are continuously getting pains but still they are not shouting, instead of that they are fighting. The poorest country in the western Hemisphere, Haiti, is one such example. They were facing poverty and suddenly met the earthquake of 7.0 intensity. Are they just shouting?

Remember that the ones who can fight, can really exist here. Do not just cry, fight too.

You really a new AVATAR now

2010-01-27T23:35:00.000+05:30

Have you ever been cheated or ditched? I am sure of a big "YES". Today people are more into looking into what others are doing. They first check that, and then plan to the best to mess everything. You know about the back-bitters and you are doing anything.

Ooo...I see! I guess you cannot hurt anyone, right? Just go and take a new AVATAR as these people really want to see a real YOU. They know that you are an EMOTIONAL FOOL, and they don't mind bitting you. You have your AVATAR hidden somewhere. Try to look for it inside you. You just have to play HIDE 'N' SEEK, seek your AVATAR and show it to the real BASTARDS.

Show them that even you exist in this WORLD.

Headache is one of the most common problems faced by all of us. I know this is not a right place to put this post here. The reason I am putting it here is to help you all to work effectively without any problem. Here are four best ways to get instant relief from Headache.

1. Eyes Area Massage - Close your eyes. Place your middle fingers to your eyes that are above cheekbones. Massage that area gently but firmly in circular motion for 1 minute.

2. Eyes to Nose Massage – Using thumb, go along the underside of eyebrows (along the bone on top of eye socket). Feel where this bone meets the bridge of your nose and eyes and find a point where there is a small indentation. Very gentle pressure, press your thumbs into the points. You can do it four times by holding and press that area for 10 seconds in each press.

3. Neck Massage - Massage a point where you can feel it by moving the middle fingers of your hands to the back of your head and feel the base of your skull. Specially, at the tops of your neck that meets the base of your skull. Massage for a minutes using finger tips gentle in circular movement.

5 signals showing you are not time manager

2010-01-07T09:39:00.000+05:30

Time is one of the very important factor which we need to consider everywhere. The individuals who can manage their time properly always have a smooth going, whereas there are some who are not at all able to manage their time. They just end up doing mess in every work they do. Here are 5 signals which will help you know whether you are time manager or not.

1. You have lots of work to do. You have a huge to-do list, and you are changing the dates daily.

2. All the work or projects you are doing, are all half done.

3. Even after submitting the work, people are not happy with your work.

4. You are far behind the others working with you.

5. You are not happy with whatever you are doing. You are not enjoying your work as well as you life.

I am waiting to get some more from you.

Wait, and you will wait forever

2010-01-06T09:55:00.000+05:30

When you want to do something, just go for it. There are people who just wait for others to support them. Most of the time, this wait always be a wait and people end up waiting and doing nothing. There are people who just don't care about anyone when they have some important thing to do.

Similar example is shown by residents of Tajnagar village near Gurgaon. They waited for 25 long years for the government to build the railway station in their village, but they got nothing. They started operations by their own and invested Rs.2,100,000. The station started its operations on 5 January,2010.

This definitely gives us a moral. A moral that people who wait will always wait, and people who want to do will do it in any condition.

Clothes will save ELECTRICITY now

2010-01-02T15:46:00.000+05:30

I was just going through some articles and came across one interesting articles. According to this articles, there are some Mumbai people who came together to form a "No-Tie" Campaign. They says that wearing tie makes the person feel warm and it is because of this that many companies are using Air Conditioners. By saying NO to the ties, they will be able to save the electricity consumption.

A person said that wearing tie is more of British culture where the highest temperature in Summer is much lesser than our lowest temperature in winters. They says that people in India should wear clothes according to the culture and place.

I really don't know how far they are right. But according to me, more than 75% of the tie wearing people just take it of when they are not in contact with their seniors and the customers. Many wear it just because they love it. I am waiting for your responses.

Being Proactive does not take much!!!

2009-12-31T00:47:00.000+05:30

I have seen many people who are just lazy, even I act like a lazy sometimes. The reason behind that is just that they cannot help it. Here are some approaches which may help you being proactive.

1. Don't try to be perfectionist and don't leave everything just because you cannot be perfect in that.

2. You have to take risk always. Don't leave anything just because you may do mistake. Go for it.

10 things to keep you happy at work

2009-12-28T17:51:00.000+05:30

There are many people who just want to work for themselves. They are their own boss. On the contrary, we have a majority of people who work for others. Most of them are not happy at their work place. It is said that happiness lies inside you, and these people really don't know in which part. So here are 10 reason which these people can try to keep themselves happy at their workplace.

1. If you have two options of being happy and sad, please choose to be happy.

2. Try to do something which you love to do at your workplace, but it should be office related.

3. Go for your professional and personality development.

4. Try to know what is going on in your organization as you are part of that family.

5. Always ask for feedback of your work. If you are not well, do well and motivate yourself.

6. Avoid negative people and negative activities.

7. Commit when you can really do. Do not make false promises as it will return to you someday.

8. Practice professional courage like conflict resolutions as it will help you in long run.

9. The persons working with are your family members, so make friends.

10. If you think none of this working, go to a job search engine and look for a new job. I guess that will make you happy.

I hope at least one of this will keep you happy. I am waiting for other things from you which can keep you happy at work.

Where is the answer?

2009-12-24T17:15:00.000+05:30

There are many situations where we end up asking suggestions from others, who just don't know it. In life, there are many stages where you feel confused. At that point of time, you just try to get an answer. But where is the answer?

If you think that others can answer your question, then I think you are not right. Every person has his/her own life, and have nothing to do with you when it comes to life. They can roam with you, talk to you, love you, hug you; but they will never answer your life.

The answer to the maximum confusions lies inside us. If you will keep on asking and shouting for help, you will not be able to hear your inner voice. So better keep quiet and listen to the inner voice so that you can live your life properly.

Don't let your inner voice sleep.

Problems may define you!

2009-12-18T12:01:00.001+05:30

We are the ones who are there to face the problems and solve them, don't let your problems tackle you. This is what most of us do. Some people are so bound to their problems that they don't know what to do without them, and if one lot of problems disappears, they get new ones to replace them. The biggest lose here is this that problems start defining us.

We are nothing without those problems in that case. Don't let you problems decide your individuality. If your identity is linked to your problems then you will never be able to overcome them.

Tie your Stress

2009-12-17T12:14:00.001+05:30

Most of us are having some or the other kind or stress. Some of us have stress from studies, from personal life, unhealthy food, etc. Here are five tips to manage your stress-

1. Go on a holiday and throw your stress somewhere there, so that no one can bring it back.

2. Exercise daily and use your stress in lifting weights. If you have anger, show it to the body by exercise, but don't do it too much. Have your senses with you.

3. Hobbies and interests are very far from us these days. Bring them back, and involve yourself in that so that you can forget about your stress.

4. Do everything with your friends and family. Being alone can make you feel more stressed.

5. Proper food will help you and your body to balance the unbalanced things. Eat well but not too much.

There can be many other things which we can do to manage our stress. I am waiting for your comments to know some other tips.

Are you ADDICTED?

2009-12-16T12:51:00.000+05:30

Addiction can be our biggest enemy, when handled properly. Addiction can be defined as anything without which you cannot even think of living. Addictions are not always for negative things. You can be addicted to negative things like heroin, alcohol, gambling, cigarettes or food; or you can be addicted to things like your work, hard work, etc.

Living with your addiction is not really living at all. The one and only thing that matters in your life is your need to fulfill your addiction. It does not matter what you are addicted to. Just keep in mind that it is an addiction and you need to tackle the problem now.

There are only two options open to you when you are addicted. You can carry on exactly the same as you are doing and end up being poor, lonely, unhappy, ashamed or even dead, (depending on the type of addiction you have). Or You can admit you need help, and so many people will be there to help you.

One second once

2009-12-11T10:00:00.000+05:30

How often do we hear "take it slow," "take it easy," "one step at a time," "one day at a time" "don't be so hard on yourself" etc... Do we follow the advice? Probably not as often as we should.

Each second of the day we are faced with small and seemingly insignificant decisions; constant tests of do or don't, right or wrong. Some of these tests might be so minor we don't even think about them. Perhaps its a q-tip on the floor or a pillow out of place on the bed. Do we take the literal one second to pick up the q-tip or adjust the pillow? Or do we leave the "mess on the floor" so to speak, and allow it to accumulate.

Think of how many areas of our life that these one second challenges are adding up! You probably have piles of "stuff" all around you and fail to even notice it. A great philosophy I recently adopted is "if I think it, I must do it." If I think about taking the trash out, it probably needs to be done. So I do it NOW! By creating this discipline in my life, more gets done and with minimal effort.

I walk alone

2009-12-08T22:38:00.000+05:30

We all have friends. But there are many people who feel isoloted even after having hundreds of friends. There can be mistake of anyone behind this and lets not get into it. Lets talk about their loneliness. If you are dealing with loneliness, you can take some steps to change the way you feel. Remember, only you have the power to overcome this feeling.

The first thing that you need to do is accept that you are feeling lonely. Do not try to run away from your feelings. Instead face and learn to express that feeling. You can cry to vent out your loneliness, or you can write. Usually when you accept and express what you are feeling, you will be able to figure out what is causing it.

Happiness to me!

2009-12-03T10:51:00.000+05:30

What is happiness to you?

Happiness is not something which is universal. What keeping me happy may not keep you happy. There are many people who keep on saying that happiness and themselves have no connection, and happiness is always away from them. On the same side, we have people who are always happy.

What is the reason? I feel that happiness is always there in each and everything we do. It is when you search and live in the searched thing. It does not matter what you are doing, what really matters is the way you are doing it. Keep yourself involved in the things and think that it will bring happiness to you.

Work with full enjoyment, and you will get your happiness.

Have a heart, or Have the heart

2009-12-02T13:01:00.000+05:30

Life has a different meaning to differnt people. What I feel about life is this that you always have two options.

Either have a heart or have the heart.

By having a heart I mean to say that there are people who always care about other people. They just can't resist themsleves helping others. It doe not matter where they are, what matters a lot is other should be in good. These people are always loving, helping and giving.

On the other side, we have having the heart people. These are the people who have the heart to do what they want to do. There can be some cases where they are like having a heart types, but they do think about themselves with thinking for others. These people are more towards good for maximum, but first good for them.

I am not in favour of any of these types. It depends on people to people that what type they are or want to be. You decide what you want to be.

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

2009-12-02T12:56:00.000+05:30

Have a look at the power of effective speech-

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass . If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.”

Workaholic

2009-12-01T12:13:00.000+05:30

Work! Work! Work!

There are many people who just hate doing anything
And there are many who just hate doing nothing.

People are so busy in working day and night that they don't know what is going on. I am not talking about the people around these workaholics but I am talking about the workaholics themselves. These people do their work without caring for their own health. Some do the work just to earn money, some do for the passion they have towards their work.

According to a recent survey, 93% of the techies feel that their health is affected by the work they are doing. They just sit at a place and keep on doing their work. People should take out some time for themselves so that they can exercise a bit for their healthy life.

Happy Life Workaholics!

Angry Decision

2009-11-26T18:37:00.000+05:30

We all make decisions in our day to day life. Some are right, some are wrong, some are fruitful, some takes a lot. Generally, when we make any decision we consider many factors which can affect our decision. There are some cases when we have no control on the things which we do. One of these types of situations is Anger.

Many a times we make decision when we are angry. This anger has a great impact on our decision making ability. Most of the decision in anger are very harmful. It is better to decide with a cool mind to decide the right thing.

Angry decisions will make you more angry.

I quit FRENCH

2009-11-26T13:07:00.000+05:30

I was learning French, but few days back I just stepped back because I was not satisfied with the way I was learning it. I started it with great enthusiasm but later everything vanished. I cannot blame anyone for this.

It happens to many of us that we start something with great enthusiasm and later we just quit. In these situations, there is one great thing to do, i.e. ask yourself the reason for your start. Just ask why you started the thing which you are quitting now. There are some cases where you just cannot resist yourself quitting as you are sure of what you are doing. But there are cases when we just get carried away by others and just quit.

Just ask yourself why you have started, and you will get to know whether quitting is important for you or not.

Power of Appreciation

2009-11-25T21:59:00.001+05:30

We all know the importance of appreciating a person. An appreciation can get many things out of a person, or the absence of it may take many things out of him. Always try to appreciate and thank people around you. This will not cost you anything. The person will feel like a worth and his work will be more fruitful than the previous one.

Do all this without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.

Try it!!!

Corupt India

2009-11-18T21:37:00.000+05:30

India is still perceived to be one of the most corrupt countries by Transparency International in its annual corruption perceptions. The country ranks 84th in the list of 'World's most corrupt nations' due to high public-sector corruption.

The bottom five nations were Somalia, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan and Iraq, while the cleanest countries with ranking close to perfect 10 were New Zealand, Denmark and Singapore.

So which are the developed countries, which are developing countries and which are under developed? Everybody can give a speech, but only few can listen properly. The report blames everything to Indian PSUs, but I think that Private companies are not absent here. The only thing is they are not caught. These reports can do a little, but together we all can do a lot.

Think about it!!!

Problems help us!!!

2009-11-17T14:49:00.000+05:30

Many of us believe that we learn after facing different problems. In most common terms we call it "LEARN BY EXPERIENCE". I agree with this that there are some situations which really teach us some or the other thing.

I strongly believe in something else. The problems and situations we face not actually teach us something. These problems make us find a solution for the same. We use ourself going deeper inside, and just come up with the solution. Here the problem has not taught us how to solve a problem, but the problem has helped us in knowing ourself. It makes us know our hidden talents.

So, the next time you decide to know your true self, put yourself in a problem.

Fear or Guts?

2009-11-17T14:40:00.000+05:30

Fear and guts are not given by anyone. These are the things which we have to take. One who take it as his choice can have it, others cannot if they don't want to. The one who prefers guts over fear will surely have guts.

You decide your own choice

Controllable Anger

2009-11-14T11:37:00.000+05:30

" If anger is your most frequently used outlet, try unplugging it for a while." (Brian G. Jett)

It is very true because many a times we lose something just because of our Anger factor. Anger, often taken as one of the enemies of human, is created by us. By this, I mean to say that it is only we who create anger, as it is not inborn. Controlling the anger totally depends on an individual. If not controlled at the right time, this can become very intense and can even break you.

Control your anger before it start controlling you.

Gender Gap

2009-11-13T08:42:00.000+05:30

There was a time when the gap between the genders was very big. Then came the time when everybody said that they were putting there the best of their efforts to remove this gap. Most of them got little success.

Who says that there is no Gender Gap in India. According to a recent survey done by World Economic Forum (WEF), there is a big corporate gender gap in the employment of woman in th entry level to the top management of the companies. This survey was based on the 60 of the top best 100 employers of India. Here are some of the results.

* Women employees held only 10 percent of the senior management positions in two-thirds of the surveyed companies.

* None of the companies had women chief executive officers (CEOs) and almost 40 percent of the respondents had only 10 percent women work force.

* The average annual income of a woman is $1,185, which is less than one-third of a man's $3,698, employed in Indian companies.

Do you think we are not having any Gender Gap in our country? Remember, if you cannot respect the work done by others, stop the operations of your company. The most preferable way to remove this type of gap will be to educate the men about the women empowerment.

Remember, a finished road is much better for a vehicle.

Monday leave

2009-11-12T11:28:00.000+05:30

According to the recent study by the Bangalore-India consultancy firm Mercer, most of the leaves are being taken on mondays. Monday is the most common day for all the employees as 35% of the sample size of 11,000 employees take leave on mondays. They say that the reason for their leave was musculo-skeletal problems.

Cool enough. What I think about the reason behind monday leaves is lack of enjoyment. Many of the employees have their own families. Having holidays on weekends and after enjoying to the core of tiredness, it becomes very hard for the employees to start their day immediately with mondays. They take a monday leave and join back the company on tuesdays. This make them feel relaxed and be in a position to work with fresh minds.

What do you say?

Never compromise

2009-11-09T22:35:00.000+05:30

We all have dreams, and we always try our best to achieve them. We never care for anyone while trying to achieve the goal, but one of the greatest mistakes which we often commit is of ignoring our near and dear ones.

Our near and dear ones ( not fake ones) always support us in whatever we do. Always remember, they are the only ones who are really yours. You can dream and achieve that by living life in the way you want, but your personal relations are the one which shapes your life.

Never sacrifice your personal relations because of your dreams, learn to adjust.

Great Vision

2009-11-09T18:03:00.000+05:30

There are many people who are not able to know there real self. These people always under estimate themselves and never try something new. They don't have any vision and this makes them sit at a same place throughout their life. On the contrary there are some people who have a strong vision and they start perceiving themselves according to their great vision.

Having a great vision helps us know ourselves better and deeper. This highest vision will make you do wonders and believe me that the results will surprise you.

Make a great vision and see how amazing you are.

Fear of nothing

2009-11-04T14:41:00.000+05:30

We all are afraid of some or the other thing. Some of us are afraid of Lizards, some are of failure, some are of height, and some are of death. Fear is nothing but the negative feeling about something which just home inside us. It is not genetic, but it highly transmitted if no proper care is taken. Regular negative comments on something will make it a reality (fear) for us.

We are afraid of something because our mind is not completely open to that thing. We just see what we want to see. Just think for a while why a fear for us is not a fear for others. All we require is the strong will to overcome it. There are many people who have seriously done it.

Fear is just like the uninvited insects which come to our home. If you really want to drag them out, you need to find them and throw them out of your door.

Yesterday's Objection, Today's Praise

2009-11-04T11:58:00.000+05:30

We live in a society and always think that we should make them feel happy. If they are complaining something it means we are wrong. The right step for us can be the wrong one for them. They always want to control us.

There are two types of people. One, who always care for other's opinions, views, and responses. Second, who really don't care and do all that they want to do. First type of people always remain where they are now, whereas second type of people go ahead without caring for anyone to achieve their goals. At the end of the day, those who were blaming the second one follow him and his ideologies.

You decide what you want to be.

From spark to fire

2009-11-02T19:31:00.001+05:30

I am not perfect. I mean to say that I am not able to do things right in the first attempt. I am 100% sure that no one else can. I have seen many people who have really faced a lot of problems because of others. Those type of people always abuse the damager ( the person who has ruined his/her life). They feel that the damager has completely ruined his/her life and they have nothing left to live happily in the future.

I am totally against the view of those people. I feel that the damagers are the one who ruin a part of your life and later give you reason to go ahead. I am not saying that they are innocent. They spark up your life so that in future if you face any such situation you can create fire. Instead of taking it as the end of your life, you should take it as a learning so that you may not repeat same kind of mistakes in the future. Learn to live with true meaning and purpose now.

Damagers will damage once or to maximum twice,
then it is you who should learn to fight.

Out of track!!!

2009-11-01T09:55:00.000+05:30

Have you ever asked a hardcore science question to an art student? If no, then it makes sense. In life, we do these kind of things very often and end up regretting because of reasons like wrong choice, time wastage, etc.

When you are on your track,
Never ask anyone who is out of track

A change by one

2009-10-30T22:35:00.000+05:30

"They say that one person can never change anything,
I say that one can change everything"

We always blame the system and always say that we need some people to change the system. The story always end before it starts because we always look for the people who can come forward. We are ready to go but we need someone to be with us. This wait for others always result into NO SINGLE STEP.

I feel that if one really have strong determination to change anything we can do it no matter how many people support us. It is always like power of multiplication rule where one person can convince another one, and the chain goes on. Just think for a while about 10 individuals taking initiative at different places. The chain will be totally different and will grow rapidly because one or the other day someone has to do it, so why can't we now?

EACH ONE TAKE ONE.

Never ever give up!!!

2009-10-27T16:18:00.000+05:30

We all have some or the other goals and we always try to achieve those goals. There are many people who always try to put others down before they actually raise themselves. This brings an extra difficulty to those who are working in their direction. Because of those people, sometimes we face a lot of problems and feel that we are lagging behind.

Sometimes these problems or lagging behind is taken as if it is the end of the story and we stop making further efforts. But if we will look at the reality, it says that lagging behind has nothing to do with your goal attainment. What matters a lot is the ability to keep your spirit high and never get effected by anyone.

We all know that people will try to knock us out, and believe me this is a hard fact. One who is your dear now may be the one who can shoot you. We should always some have back up. These back ups will help us stand tall even when the wind is at its maximum speed.

THINK ABOUT IT, AND NEVER GIVE UP!!!

The real day : TODAY

2009-10-26T22:06:00.000+05:30

"TODAY is the only truth"

Many of us give more importance to our past and future actions than the present one. This is one of the common mistake we always make. It is a truth that our present is the only way by which we can achieve all that we want to achieve. Without wasting time to think about the past and day dream about the future, we all should live our present and should act for TODAY.

Learn to smile

2009-10-17T17:08:00.000+05:30

I have seen many people (including me) who just get upset whenever they face any difficulty in anything. Life is all about stuggle and it is not written in our destiny that our bad face will help us get rid of those difficulties.

We always make bad faces to show others that we are having some problem, and that is completely ruining us. This ultimately creates many other problems including bitter relations wth others. I have realized this, and have started working on the same. Making bad faces will not gonna make any improvement in our life, but instead of that it may create some extra problems.

We will loose nothing if we will smile at every problem. I know this is not at all easy but we can start by smiling at minor problems.

TRY AND LEARN..

HAPPY DEEPAWALI

2009-10-17T12:23:00.000+05:30

DEEPAWALI is an Indian festival, which is celebrated every year with great joy and excitement. Everyone wears new clothes, eat sweets, burn crackers, and have great fun on this auspicious day.

There are approximately 13% Indians who are not even able to enjoy this festival. All they can do is to wtch others celebrating, or stay quite at alone place. This post is deicated to those heroes, who really are great. They have nothing still they live every minute of their life with no complaints to anyone.

HAPPY DEEPAWALI to all of you, and especially those heroes.

Knock before you enter

2009-10-13T09:15:00.000+05:30

What did you do last time when you have been to someone's home? Rang the bell, or Knocked the door. Right? This is what we do because we really need to take permission before we enter.

Many of us knock at the door and remain outside. Even if nobody is replying to the knock, we just be there. Knocking and entering are entirely different actions. this what happens to our real life. Knocking can be the things which we often do, and knocking is really necessary. It consists of reading books, attending meetings, asking questions.

Entrance can be the the extra things which are very important to succeed in the life. Entrance requires much bolder action. It requires one to enter into himself, to uncover hidden motives, to see contradictions, and to realize his actual power for self-change.

Many of us just keep on knocking at the door, but do not dare to enter. This keeps us always at the same place where we are today.

KNOCK AND ENTER, DON'T STEP BACK OR KEEP ON KNOCKING...
AND NEVER EVER FORGET TO KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER.

Less important

2009-10-12T21:13:00.000+05:30

I have not posted anything from the past 3 days. As far as I can remember, it happened after approximately one month. I am not here to present an excuse for not posting anything.

I was just thinking today to find the reason behind this. My schedule in these days was bit busy. I had many work to do. What I have done here is this that I got involved in that work giving less important to my blog. I was not able to find out the exact reason. this happens when we have some work which we take more important than our current work.

It is not so that my blog is unimportant for me, but the work which I had seemed more important. I understood this, and now will try to take care of this throughout my life, and suggest you to do the same.

Food everywhere, but nothing to eat!!!

2009-10-09T15:24:00.000+05:30

Do we know the value of food? I think, "NO". We all have more than sufficient to eat. But there are many people, who have nothing to eat; forget about eating they just don't get any food to see. We all know are very much interested in knowing the facts and figures on Poverty, but very few are really interested in taking these numbers down.

Every country is into making records, records of being largest producers of grains and other crops. According to foodnavigator.com , the total production for Wheat in the year 2008-08 is 683 million tons. Out of this, very few quantity reaches the poor.

The total number of poor in 2008-08 is 380 million. These poor people have less to eat. I really cannot understand that if every country is producing enough to take care of its residents, then why are people not getting that produced food? I know that I am lacking more facts and figures to say all this, but friends just give it a thought.

IMS Approach

2009-10-07T21:25:00.000+05:30

IMS = Its My Style

It is very common that a person asks another person to do a work. It does not matter how important that work is. It can be good for us, or cannot be. Lets call these works as ASSIGNMENT.

We all have been given lots of assignments to do, and believe me we all are capable enough to do those assignments. We do whatever we are asked to do. Yes, we only do whatever we are asked to do. This is very common in organizations, where the employees are given some or the other work very often. They do what they have to do. They don't have any freedom.

We have another term called COMMITMENT. A committed employee always do more than what he is asked to do. The employees are more hungry for freedom and recognition. If the employee is being given assignments with a power to do what he want, then definitely the result will be much much better.

"JUST ASK A PERSON TO DO SOMETHING, NEXT TIME HE WON't WORK FOR YOU"

Unchanged Goals

2009-10-06T20:56:00.000+05:30

It is a very hard fact that almost 60% of us are not having any goal in our life yet. It doesn't mean that those who are not having any goal are fools and have no right to live happily. Another important fact is this that almost half of those who have goals, change their goals very frequently as if they are changing clothes.

Some of the reasons for frequently changing our goals are-

1. Some other person is having better goal.

2. Realizing that their goals are not realistic.

3. Over-estimating self (of the ability).

4. Under-estimating the goal.

5. External pressure to change it.

6. Circumstances

There can be many other reasons for this. Goals are highly influenced by the incidents. There are some incidents in our life which change our life, and help us know our true self. These incidents become milestones in our life, and we start working in that direction. These incidents are so intense that they force us to make realistic and achievable goals. These Goals are considered real goals with no further frequent change.

I forgot everything

2009-10-04T21:06:00.000+05:30

"I always forget whatever I learn", this is a problem with many of us. We always think that we have got some problem with our memory. We think that we are not able to use our brain to the fullest. but once we read something, our capacity to understand things related to that increases. This is because of our brain.

Brain, one of the finest creation of GOD, is the head of our body. Brain is having the properties of a non-elastic thing. Non-elastic means the things which don't return to their original state. We learn, and as a result of that our brain expands.

After a period, we feel that we have lost whatever we have learnt. But this is not true, the real fact is this that we always have that information in our mind, but the regular updates of information keep the old information in some corner of our brain, and when we try to learn something related to that old information, we realize that that we know a lot about it.

"NEVER THINK THAT YOU HAVE LOST EVERYTHING, YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING NEW"

Flowing accordingly

2009-10-02T21:27:00.000+05:30

We all know the importance of INFORMATION, right? Information, often linked to communication, should always be perfect, perfect in respect of its flow between the people involved. It has different importance for different people.

The same information is needed to be communicated differently in different situations. The information, which when written 100% in the exam paper, can fetch "A" grade for us. But when we communicate the same 100% information to the employees, it shows reverse results. For better results, we should be able to communicate the 10% information in such a way so that they may understand the 100%.

We all should be able to analyse the situation before actually communicating any information, so that the results are more than our expectations.

FASTER the BETTER

2009-10-01T23:51:00.000+05:30

I always take life as Relay race. It is not because of the reason that we have our successor to take ahead whatever we leave for them. I am talking about the achievement of our goals.

All of us have different capabilities, and we all perform using those. Some of us achieve goals earlier than the others. It is not because that they are more capable than others. As I wrote earlier, we all have different capabilities, and the speed of goal achievement is a result of that.

It is just like Relay race. We all start from a common point. Some of us reach the first person faster, whereas others reach comparatively slower. This is not final. There are so many things after that. So, it does not matter who achieves the goal faster, but the thing matters the most is who reach the final stage.

I have no IDEA

2009-10-01T12:22:00.000+05:30

An idea can change your life, but where is that idea? We all know the importance of an idea, but we don't get any. An idea requires a lot of hard work, concentration and dedication. And that too in the right direction. Idea can be of anything, it does matter what kind you generate.

Many a times we feel that the idea we have in mind, is nothing but a bullshit, and will not gonna make change in my life or others. In reality, there were many ideas which were being rejected by a person but accepted by others as a great ideas.

Ideas are just like Rabbit. It is very hard to get first two, and then handle them. But once you get an idea of the idea, it keeps on coming.

"TAKE CARE OF YOUR IDEAS, DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL" IT

Wish I could

2009-09-30T20:45:00.000+05:30

There were many things which we all wanted to do at some point of time, but we were not able to do that. It is almost impossible that a person has done each and everything which he wanted to do. Sometimes we ignore the things which we want to do, just because of other's perception and thinkings about that work.

At the end of the day, we just end-up having a great amount of dissatisfaction. Today morning, I had a talk with an old lady. She told me that there were many things she had not done just because she was afraid of other's reaction on it. By having tears in her eyes, she end-up saying that -"Wish I would have done that".

This really happens in everyones life. We just ignore the things, and later regret not doing those things. So, never leave anything thinking of others.

Quick decision

2009-09-29T21:19:00.000+05:30

It is very easy to reach the conclusion, and make hasty decisions. Most of us really do that, not in personal life but also in connected life. Without reading or listening to anything properly, we just want to reach the conclusion because -

1. We want to save our time, or

2. We think that we know everything which is being communicated

Whenever we reach the conclusions with no proper information, we just invite misunderstandings, misconceptions, worst violence, loss of identity, etc. Without knowing the real fact, we are very much liable to commit mistakes. We think we know everything, we are always right, but the reality is something else. Even after knowing the reality, we tend to repeat the same until we suffer.

We should take any decision after looking at the points laid on the table. By not doing this, we just end up being a victim of Pride and Prejudice.

LIFE is a GPS

2009-09-27T21:27:00.000+05:30

Today, after getting bored of the Industrial Relations studies I just read an article on GPS (Global Positioning System) in cars.

A recent model car with a GPS system provides of with the turn by turn instructions. When you remain on course it simply tells you how many miles until your next turn and whether it will be a right or a left. If you are off course, however, it will either tell you to recalculate or make a legal U turn ahead.

Life is just like a GPS. We dream, and start working in the direction which we feel, is right. We just keep going on, and we do try to take shortcuts or using unfair means in reaching the dream. But, Life has no end there. It will show you such circumstances where it will make you realize of those wrong means, and will ask you to recalculate (re-travel). This really happens, and I believe this.

"JUST FOLLOW THE CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS, OR BE READY TO RECALCULATE."

I do it by my WAY

2009-09-26T20:13:00.001+05:30

Most of the decisions we take, are actually not ours. Many of us are doing things which our family, friends, neighbors, or anyone close to us want us to do. Many of us are doing MBA just because our parents want us to do, we are going abroad instead of being in India because our counterpart wants to be there.

We all have only one life, and that too very short. Every time we fulfill the wish of others by sacrificing ours, we add extra dissatisfaction inside us. This dissatisfaction is not visible initially, but at later point of time we find ourself full of irritation, anger, and are completely lost.

"Do what you want to do, don't follow others' wish anymore,
If still you will do that, you will be no more..."

You say..I'll do...

2009-09-24T20:31:00.000+05:30

Our life has become so much lazy that whatever we see, we believe that. Say for example that I have to go to a place (unknown to me, I don't know the way) alone. I have been told by friend about the place and have been given a vague idea. I saw some passer-byes, and asked about that place. They told me the address, and without even confirming from anyone else I moved further, and later came to know that I am lost.

Cool enough...but true. This is what we all are doing. I am working on this...Do you??

Learn to love..

2009-09-24T20:13:00.000+05:30

Whenever you do anything wrong, do not ever think of going back and trying fixing things because you cannot fix your past. Always think of the present and future, and if you really want to live your tomorrow in a perfect way, just apologize for your mistakes. Always think about the "WHY" of mistakes not "HOW","WHO" and "WHEN".

Try to love people for who they are, not what they are.

Some reasons to copy...

2009-09-23T15:18:00.000+05:30

There can never be a scarcity of Copy-cats. No matter where we go, whether it be school, college, office, or anything, we always have these type of people. Here I have some of the reasons why they copy paste-

1. They have no other thing to do, they just love it.

2. They are too lazy.

3. They are being forced to do so.

4. It saves their time, as they have so many important things to do.

5. They don't trust their work.

6. Over trust others.

7. Easily available.

8. They are just following the trend.

9. Don't know the reason.

10. Combination of above reasons.

These are some of the possible reasons which I can come up with. I am looking for other reasons. Waiting for your responses..

Be a self-learner

2009-09-21T20:24:00.000+05:30

With every breathe we take, we get an opportunity to learn something whether it be our personal life, office life, social life, or anything else. Learning, according to me, has no relation to the place. It doesn't matter whether you know the place very well or not at all. What really matters is the way we look at it.

Most of us always look for some other person to come to us, and teach us everything so that we can learn. Today, nobody is having time to do good for others (leave the exceptions). How can we except anyone to come to us and then teach us? I am talking about the professionals because they too get something to teach us.

We all should be self-learners, so as to learn more from all the things we see and face.

Pleasing others...

2009-09-20T14:40:00.000+05:30

Everyone of us always try to please others so that they can something out of the pleased person. And believe me friends, while pleasing others we forget to please ourself. It is just like feeding others by being hungry.

We all have got one life, and we have very limited time to do all those things we want. We cannot please everyone we meet in this short life, so we should concentrate on pleasing self not others. We should go ahead in life, and if we please someone on the way, it is like a bonus to us.

I am not talking about the profession which really require pleasing others. Hope everyone of us will concentrate on self, not buttering/pleasing others.

SACH KA SAMNA (FACING THE TRUTH)

2009-09-20T11:35:00.000+05:30

"SACH KA SAMNA", best stage to confess. It was a DESI version of "MOMENT OF TRUTH". After changing the life of 50 contestants and finishing just 48 episodes it came to an end. Why?

Are people tired of going for the show?, or Are people bored of watching the show, or People have no more confessions to make?, or some ban? I really don't know the reason because the reason it not known to me. I have never expected that the show will reach to an end so soon.

We are from a country where people give far more importance to daily saas-bahu serials, where the main character is showing the different aspect of life. including 4-5 marriages without divorce, rape cases, disgusting fashion, etc. We really like these serials, no matter how cheap they are. Some of these serials have directly effected many of our life in a negatively. Still they are the best.

When the show "SACH KA SAMNA" started, people were excited about it. But slowly it started revealing the truth, and people started publicizing the vulgarity of the how. We never think before doing it, so what it the problem in confessing it. I think that the pressure of keeping all truth in ourself is far more than that of confessing it.

Hope "SACH KA SAMNA" will be back soon to transform our life.

There is nothing in everything...

2009-09-18T17:59:00.000+05:30

We all try to do our work to the best of our efficiency. Some of us do it more than targeted, some of us just finish it, and some of us just can't manage doing it. Why? I am not questioning the efficiency. But, there is one thing which matters a lot, i.e. efforts.

Nothing comes just by a single attempt. How can we expect that we will be able to achieve all that we desire by just some efforts? And the people who take shortcut in doing the work reach a situation which we all know. Don't stop putting your efforts. It is all like a ladder.

"We cannot cut a tree by just a single strike of Axe"

Who are you?

2009-09-17T22:24:00.000+05:30

Most of us are not good in academics, practically and other things. It doesn't mean that we are useless. I really don't feel that we are like a black spot in this society. I believe that things doesn't end here. What really matters a lot is our ability to deal, deal with the things which are coming to us.

We too can make a lot of difference. We should be open-minded. An open minded individual may have limited knowledge or technical know how but is open to embrace and munch on as much as life has to offer. They tend to learn from life and apply the knowledge to their own life and seem to be very understanding and have a friendly attitude. Very Human!

On the contrary, we have Narrow minded people. People who know a lot of facts tend to brag, be judgmental and oftentimes assume they know everything. They seem to project a feeling of supremacy and the power that goes along with it and cannot stop down to people that are not equally mentally stimulating. They seem almost academic in their thinking.

This is the basic difference between Open and Narrow Minded, but there are people who are really exceptions. A salute to them.

Who are you - Open minded or Narrow minded?

Touch and Go...

2009-09-16T09:59:00.001+05:30

All of us start our journey from NOTHING. I am totally in agreement that whatever we achieve is only because of hard work, dedication, zeal, effort, and risk taking ability. There can be many other reasons depending on the individual. It is because of this that some of us reach the top and others just hang around.

I have seen some people who (in my terms) are really having the above mentioned characteristics, and believe me they reached the success in their life. After just touching the success, they came back to the place from where they started their journey. Why?

Well, the answer is simple. These type of people want to reach the top, but can't be there for long because they stop doing all their work once they reach there, feeling that they will be there. But my friends, it is not true. If you have reached the top, you have to keep working so as to be there for long, and reach higher altitudes. it is just like a slope, if you will keep going you will cross it, if not you will come down quickly.

As Gary Anderson rightly said, "Never stop. ESPECIALLY when things are good."

Copying the success

2009-09-14T20:57:00.000+05:30

When is the last time you initiated to achieve something? Most of the things which we try to achieve are already being done by some other person. I am not discussing here the question of good or bad here. It takes a lot of time for many of us to know our real self. Many a times it do happens that by looking at the success of a person we realize that even we have to do the same work.

We always think that others are better than us because they have achieved a lot in a very short time. We always live in such worries. We spend too much of time thinking about their lifestyles and success, forgetting that everything starts by working on self. There is nothing in simple copy paste, but if you really want to do what others have already done, do it with variations and accepting all the changes for improvement. When you see others doing something, just try to identify yourself and start doing something rather than taking worries.

"When the grass looks greener on the other side, it's time to fertilize your own lawn."

You are nothing...Look at me!!!

2009-09-13T20:18:00.000+05:30

" While you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground."

This makes a lot of sense to me. Whenever we do something, most of the time we do it without even thinking about the consequences. And when the result day comes, we foind ourselves in a deep trouble.

Think before you do anything, you might be preparing your grave.

Doing something...

2009-09-12T20:39:00.000+05:30

What do we do if we see anyone doing bad? We have nothing to do when it comes to doing something. The only thing we have to do is to gossip, to talk about all those bad things which is happening around us. We just sit and talk about those bad things.

In place of just sitting and talking about bad things we can also try to do something. Even that something is unimportant, but I am sure that is much better than gossip. We should think about all these things because even a single extra thing can create a big difference.

" You can sit there and talk about all the bad things that are happening, or you can do something. I'm trying to do something."

Eat your own words

2009-09-11T17:42:00.000+05:30

By eating the words I mean to say that one should take care of the words they use, and should admit publicly that they were wrong. I have heard about so many people who have suddenly changed themselves. In a more simple word, I must say they have got some extra negative attitude towards others.

These people talk to people very politely when they are nothing, but once they reach little heights they start showing their real self. The same person who was polite earlier, now speaks without even considering his words. It really doesn't make any sense to them what other people feel because of them. They are now superior, and are on the top of the world.

We should understand other's feelings, and should always be polite no matter how high we are. Nobody is high or low, it is just a matter of your efforts and ability.

" The greatest temptation for destiny is to make a man eat his own words."

Oops!!! I failed again...

2009-09-10T22:14:00.000+05:30

I failed so many times in doing different things as I am not different from other people. One of the most common excuse which I always presented for those failures is the difficulty level of the things which I tried to achieve. But slowly I started learning from my mistakes, which I committed in achieving my targets.

I am sure that many of us do present many excuses for their failures, and to some extent we are right because we really don't want to public our failures. But just think for a while - "Who is a real fool?". Even people around you know very well that you are just presenting a best possible excuse. You are making yourself happy, but at the same time spreading distrust in the society.

There can be only two reasons for your failures -
1. You were not having sufficient time in real sense to achieve the target.
2. You really, really, really don't wanted to achieve that target.

So, next time when you get any failure, try to find out your real category. And please never ever get discouraged, and try to learn from your mistakes.

LAND 2 PEOPLE

2009-09-10T09:58:00.000+05:30

What are you specialized in? Economics, Marketing, Finance, HR, Astrology, or others? No matter what you are doing, but one thing which will always be helping you is other humans. How? There is not even a single work which cannot be done by human.

Well, I know very well that you all know the importance of human very well, and believe me I have nothing new to add to that. But there was a time when people didn’t know about the real importance of human and the work he is capable of doing. The Babylonian dynasty, the Qin dynasty, and the Ottoman dynasty were having a very clear thing in their mind i.e., to acquire as much land as they can by defeating the opposition. There was nothing bad in that. They really wanted to increase the acquired land so as to increase their power by killing all the residents of that new land.

We also had some dynasties like the Rothschild dynasty, the China Xia dynasty, and the Slave dynasty of India who really transformed the whole picture. I really agree that these people had also killed a lot of people along with acquiring the land. Nothing new in that, but they realized the importance of humans, and it was only because of this reason that they started the Slavery system, which was mainly for getting their works done. This saved their people to do the work, and at the same time work with no cost.

There was a shift from land to people. Everything lies within humans, not in the outside things. It all depends on how you get it done. Now, people are your power, not the other assets. Understand the importance of a human, and see the magic.

Do you know the real problem?

2009-09-09T20:51:00.000+05:30

" The enormity of your problems is nothing compared with your ability to solve them. By overestimating the problems, you underestimate yourself." (Apoorve Dubey)

We all have problems, whether it be of family, or of academics, or of personal life, or of any other thing. We all know how to face the problems, some of us do it by getting involved in it, and some by just trying to find the solution.

Facing a problem has nothing to do with our ability to solve it. Only few of us are capable enough to handle and solve the problem. As rightly said by Mr. Apoorve Dubey by using the above quote, many of us really don't know what really the problem is, and we just react to what we see or face. I feel that problems are just the matter of what we feel, and it is only because of this reason that the thing which is a problem to me may not be a problem for you.

Problems also depends on the way we take it. Many of us overestimate the problem, and by that we just put ourselves in a deep pit. By overestimating the problem, we just make it more stronger and give it a full freedom to eat us up. So, please don't underestimate yourself by overestimating the problems.

I really appreciate Apoorve Dubey, and will appeal all of you not to overestimate your problems.

USE YOUR SENSES TO IDENTIFY THE REAL PROBLEM WITH ITS RIGHT INTENSITY.

Forcing to take care...

2009-09-09T20:03:00.000+05:30

We all love to talk, specially on our beloved mobiles. If we feel bored, alone or angry, the first thing which comes to our mind is calling our near and dear ones. I have came across many people who just can't stop themselves talking on their phone, no matter it is important or not. And I really feel pity of those whom they call. Those poor fellows have no option. But few us know very well how to take care of those.

Thanks to Tata Docomo for the pay per minute calling and messaging. Now those people have to think before calling or SMSing anyone. Why? They have to much to talk (generally rubbish), now they will take care of their words as a extra word or a second can charge them something extra. Earlier the charge was on per minute basis, and if their time pass the minute they used to talk for the next full minute till it reached the 50 seconds series. But now we are little bit safe.

Thanks DOCOMO...

Reasons to Brag...

2009-09-08T00:24:00.000+05:30

Why do people brag? This always remained a question to me, but today as we are done with IR exam, I got some time to think about it. The top 10 reasons, according to me, can be -

1. People lack self-confidence, and brag to make themselves feel better.

2. They really don't want others to know the reality.

3. They get attention, and a place somewhere.
