It's been so many ages, months, & years have rolled by since we spoke to each other. I don't even remember the conversation that's being referred to in this post! But it did give me a genuine smile on my lips, something I have never felt for a very long time! Gratitude has been found alive!

Since I belong to a category that finds in the antonym of party animal, usually New Year's Eve & the Day are lived in solitude and wishing friends over social media and messengers. Year End 2015 was a welcoming change, as I had decided to spend time and catching up with one of my school friend. During my grades seven to nine, he was the only friend with whom I have loathed around and spent

Every year there's a lot of resolutions that are taken. Taken, and less considered in a week and forgotten in a month. Does any of you remember what you had resolved 5 years back? Forget that, can you recall what you had resolved for 2015? (LOL). Well, most people think of resolutions that are for the sake of having a conversation with their friends. I had already written about worthy

Well, there's a lot being spoken, and lot been done. There's unending debate whether it was poor governance or if the nature by itself has been so furious. Three days of no power supply, and with constant rains there was nothing to accompany us other than the darkness. To fight my hunger, I slept most of the times. No matter when I woke up, it always looked like it was an evening.

A very important person in my life addresses me as "Guru", not just that it's one of my names but because I have been chosen as a mentor. A Guru is not someone whom we can choose for selective reasons.  A Guru is needed in all our lives and in order to make us complete. Not all educated minds can be sought after to be a Guru. A Guru is someone who takes a lot of concious effort to

One of my friend and I had a discussion in a retail supermarket seeing a chocolate on the display. Following is the conversation. Me: The advertisement promo for the chocolate backfired badly as they intended to attract the youth, particularly women consumers by using a young hero as a brand ambassador.  Friend: The campaign for chocolates shouldn't be the way it is for this ad.&

Thanks to my new day job! I love it, no probably not or maybe let's just call it mixed feelings. Immaterial of whether I'm liking it or not, this new job has given me a new awakening. This blog is a place where I share such inner awakening to all my readers worldwide, US, Europe and ROW.

There was a saying that was printed out and put up above my bed in the hostel dormitory where I did my schooling as a sixth-grade kid. "It read, Everything ends if you forgive and forget." This probably had got deeply rooted in my head as I might have read that every night before I went to bed and was the first thing I read every morning. Such is a costly mistake. It's good to forgive, at least

A lot of people have asked me a question, a silly question that I've politely avoided answering. "Which spoken English institute did you attend while you were a kid?" Probably it's now time to respond! Anyone who's attempting to search jobs knows that there's minimum three parameters that are considered to qualify an applicant into a prospective employee.

Whom we choose to believe are better than us, in some way or in all ways are the ones whom we allow to influence us. Now, what happens when we have a wrong perception of someone's abilities and competency. Being judgemental in a wrong way is the first mistake in the process of choosing an influencer.

A relationship defines the bond between two people in the equation. That's basic, there's no catalyst and no third person must be involved. When you love someone and when you're a bit emotionally upset about the way things go between the two of you, it is very natural that you tend to see an outlet to vent your emotions. This especially happens when the one you are in a relationship chooses

Whom do you think taught us so many things, that we know, but don't yet realize who had taught us (human race). Undoubtedly, its nature that we take several lessons from. Nature's got this role to create, protect & destroy. It is from nature that we draw several lessons for our livelihood. How did man (ancestors) realize that we could do this? (Below Image). If you had to think it was man

Many of my own friends from my MBA School are transitioning from their student life from campuses to a real Corporate life. Every one of you out there graduating in the year of '15 and the years to come are going to deal with things beyond case studies, and interact with flesh & blood and face the reality bites.

To be a successful MBA Grad, watch what you do along the lines mentioned below! 1. Think before speaking. 2. Learn to sell yourselves. 3. Fully understand the meaning of "Peter's Principle" 4. Understand marketing no matter what field you choose to work? 5. You need not be emotional in order to understand emotions, people behaviour & HR. 6. Practice & theory are too far from each

If you want to continually learn, and stay up-to-date with trends, continue reading... "Known is a drop, unknown is an ocean", is a proverb that got rooted in my thought process right from a childhood days. And as one learns and gains momentum and improves his/her competence, one must be very careful from letting in a natural uninvited guest in to our heads. The guest being, "I know it all

Books, an intense companion of mine. Although I found it apparently late in my life. I started with Tinkle Digest Series. Something that really helped my communication take off. Tinkle Digest also backs up the good morale in me. But the thought process expands with books that are not comics. Some books have had a serious impact to my thought process and here are few of them; 1) The Indian Maha

Friends, probably the best gift we've ever had. The best times we could have had, limitless & listless sharing and then on it could go a mile long. Friends fortunately or unfortunately take the majority stake in influencing character & behavior of people.
