FRIENDSHIP !!!!


What is FRIENDSHIP ??

FRIENDSHIP isn't a BIG Thing . Its a Million little
Things..

It Always Holds a Special CORNER in OUR LIFE, A Corner which 
is irreplaceable ,Something which can never be Undervalued.


No Matter Who You are & What your Desires are . It is very 
IMPORTANT to have few FRIENDS in LIFE who will NEVER try to CHANGE 
you and BE With You for What You Are !!!


FRIENDSHIP does not Mean Agreement But Understanding . 
It Does not Mean Forgetting but FORGIVENESS.


FRIENDSHIP is not a Relation its a KIND of Emotion we all need
with us till the later stages of LIFE.

The Old late Night Gossips, LAUGHTER , JOY,  HAPPINESS , SORROW
the stories we tell each other , the incidents that makes us NOSTALGIC
are the small things which builds  FREINDSHIP STRONGER.

"FRIENDSHIP is BUILT ON TWO THINGS RESPECT AND TRUST".

You should Trust your FRIENDS with all your BIG LITTLE SECRETS,TRUST is an 
IMPORTANT factor in FRIENDSHIP 

RESPECT And TRUST are the things which makes you accept both the good 
and bad sides of your friends , and why Not as a person you too
have those qualities integrated within you 

FRIENDSHIP is about keeping your ego aside and coming to an Understanding

So Here Comes the MOST IMPORTANT Part, Communication which is the key aspect 
and Foundation of  FRIENDSHIP .

In Physics we have a term referred to as Half Duplex & Full Duplex . Similarly Communication 
Between FRIENDS must always be  two-way i.e.  FULL DUPLEX not HALF DUPLEX. A half-way 
Communication always leads to MISUNDERSTANDING & arises barriers in FRIENDSHIP

Your Circle should CLAP when you are WINNING rather than being envious about you.
As a FRIEND you must also ENCOURAGE the same kind of FEELINGS for them.

When Everything Falls Apart FREINDS are the One who ensures that "Its Gonna BE
OK , Everything Gonna be Just Fine " , YOU ARE JUST Going Through a ROUGH PATCH"

Someone who fills your heart with HOPE ,PROSPERITY , POSITIVITY towards
Life are FRIENDS

Someone who LIFTS you UP From Your DARKEST CORNERS are FRIENDS

Someone who is READY to DEFEND you In your ABSENCE are FRIENDS

Someone who is THERE for You not ONLY when They NEED You but also
WHEN YOU NEED them are FRIENDS.


Someone who scolds just to PUT you again on THE Right TRACKS
when you are Heading in a WRONG Direction are FRIENDS 

Someone who Appreciates You for Who You are are FRIENDS

Someone who Values &  Respects You are FRIENDS.

As Human Being we are prone to Errors. Errors in our Judgement and Being 
FRIENDS with People who are Sometimes NOT At all WORTHY of Your FRIENDSHIP!!!

I believe at some point in Life Most of us have made some wrong decisions
in LIFE , including keeping some WRONG friends

So Always be Wise in Choosing your FRIENDS.

Words and Sentences will fall short if I try to define the 
Actual and True Meaning of Friendship.

Since 
FRIENDSHIP isn't a BIG Thing . Its a Million little
Things..

Today We are Celebrating FRIENDSHIP Day.
But FREINDSHIP in itself is a special BOND ,a EMOTION Which 
cannot have only a SINGLE day for its Celebration. 

Since FRIENDSHIPS are MEANT to LAST LIFELONG !!!!

What is English Literature according to the common people?
English literature is the most difficult subject in the group of Arts but after taking admission into B.A and M.A in English , people can learn it very well that they can communicate fluently in English. As we all know that English is the most accepted language in the world so we all want to learn it and somehow at a certain point, we judge the human intelligence by the English communication skill. Nowadays most of the parents enroll their children in English Medium schools so that they can be the master in English Language and after completing the school, those students pursue English honours for learning the English Language more precisely. So the general notion is if you pursue English Honours, you will be successful in life, only English language is the useful subject in the stream of Arts. 

What to read in English Literature according to common people?
 You only have to study the textual stories and poems; and the ready made notes  to score a good percentage. But the most important part is you will have to communicate in English otherwise pursuing English literature will not be fruitful for you. If you cannot understand the meaning of a English word, you should never pursue this subject because this subject is all about understanding the meanings and learning good English words.

What is the actual purpose of studying English literature? 
As we all know, the list of candidates for English Honours is longer than the list of candidates for other subjects and to enter the college pursuing English Honours, a student has to face more competition. Most of the students of each stream apply for taking English as their major subject in college, this is why the competition of this subject gets harder than any other subject of Arts. If someone judges  this subject thinking of the school days, it would not be right. The English literature has a little bit of connection with grammar,  it is all about the literary theories. 
Though people think that studying English Honours would help the students to learn English speaking, it is quite wrong at a certain point. Every language has its own development history and English is also one of the languages so the institutions teach the history behind English literature and language. If any student is not habituated with reading, he or she should not opt this subject for future studies and if that student did not like the subject History in his school, he or she should never pursue English Honours.
We all have one mother tongue and the development history of that language is taught in school so we are used to it, we get to know the popular terms and the most important facts of our mother tongue but in college, the thing is different. Since you are pursuing English Honours, you should know the over-all history of Europe, America, Africa and India also because every textual element belongs to these places mostly. 
The biggest difference between the school and the college English is in school, the students read stories or poems without knowing its history but in college, students have to be aware of every device used in the texts and also the background history of the texts and the authors. English Literature is called the toughest subject from UG because here students study almost every time in a day so that he or she can know more about the history. No student will be successful in this field without knowing the background so apart from the tuition notes, students must be self-confident as well as determined and he or she must know how to study and prepare the answers on own because the motive of English as a literature is to increase one's limitation of thought so that he or she can analyses the major and minor things of everyday life. 
Remember this line, ? Literature is called the mirror of the society?.

What to read in English Literature(B.A.) actually ? 
The syllabus of English Honours is quite long and very complicated to understand that consists of drama, novel, short story, epic, essay, and various forms of poetry like sonnet, elegy, lyric, satire, mock epic, etc. 
Basically you need to study the literary works of Indian, American and British writers like William Shakespeare,  Virginia Woolf, Herge, Derozio, Walt Whitman, William Faulkner, Charles Dickens, T.S. Eliot, Charlotte Bronte, Agatha Christie, Toru Dutt, Rabindranath Tagore and other eminent writers of different ages. Students will have to read not only about the writers and their writings but also the socio-cultural factors of those very ages.

Who should pursue English literature in college ?
1) Students need to have the habit of reading a lot of books and understand the relevance for each context.
2) Students have to be expressive so that they can point out and show every important facts of the texts.
3) Those students can join who love to read out of their syllabus just to know more because here you need to know every minute detail of the history.
4) Students must have the knowledge to compare among the topics so that they can relate and differentiate each and every detail.
5) This is the subject for History-lovers. Students of English literature will have to know the history and location of every place.

Keep Alive , To Be Alive
Or It Will Take Your Live.
Trees are pretentious gift of our nature and an important source for our survival.
The cruel humanity are cutting down huge swaths of forests for the expansion of human land and are unable to acknowledge the significant calamity which will destroy the human species totally.


And after  few years or we can say that few months the both humans and the forests will be kept in an museum as they will  become extinct where no one will be there to see those precious gemstone as well as  the so called "HUMANS" "UNSCRUPULOUS DESTROYER".


Hmm if you can imagine a lot in your fantasy land then yeah , you can say that alien will visit our Motherland ,"Earth" and see those extincted gemstone with its destroyer.


Our Indian scientist , Jagdish Chandra Bose who invented a device called crescograph that could detect very small motions within plant tissues which can make a proof that the large number of plants "Forests" can feel the pain of getting burned, getting injured from humans ,



But still provide us with valuable things such as medicines , fruits , provide oxygen, shelter for animals, etc.



You know life is practical and nothing happens by chance, by fate , People create their own fate by their actions which speaks louder than the words and that's the 'Karma' for which the one and only gemstone , our natural heritage, our best friend , our soul , our survival is only taking a dangerous revenge from us . 

Salmonella, Malaria , Lyme disease ,Yellow fungus , Low level of oxygen, Climatic change , Increased of green house gases, Desertification , etc and the most trending dangerous disease Corona virus will be the reason of our extinction , I'd we will go on destroying our beautiful nature .  

It will take no time to become devil from an angel .
So Do Protect ,
Take Respect.

A story of a young innocent girl who had faith in her wishes and her Santa!!   
Well,  we all have our own set of Wishlist yet to be fulfilled.  We often say,  I wish this could happen but I know it just can't happen in my life,  I really wish, I get this but I know I won't,  it just out of my reach.  Today,  I will tell you a story of a girl who was very innocent and innocently believed that her wishes will get fulfilled.  One day,  Santa will come and fulfill all her wishes.  After reading this story,  I hope and wish that like this girl, you also start believing in your wishes again.  Yes,  they can come true!!! 


So here starts the story - 

The girl named Shiny, was born in a very conservative and poor family. She lost her mother,  when she was only 6 yrs old.  Her father never used to talk to her as he felt that bcoz of her birth,  he lost his  wife.  Also,  he never wanted a girl child. And the fact was that her mother died because of emotional,  mental and physical trauma,  she got from her father regularly, as he always wanted a boy child and she could give him one. 

So,  he remarried and finally got two baby boys. Shiny 's step brothers who were twins.  One was  Ramesh and other was Suresh.  She was always ill treated by her step mother and bullied by her brothers.  And whenever she used to go to her father to talk to,  her father never used to listen to her and again favored her brothers,  Ramesh and Suresh.  

She had nobody to talk to. She used to often cry and talk to her mother alone.  She missed her a lot and shared everything with her.  But today,  she just could not stop crying.... ohhh she was hungry for last 2 days and her step mother had beaten her with hot rod.  She kept crying holding her mother's photo in her hand and slept while weeping and weeping and weeping.. She saw a dream and in her dream,  she saw her mother talking to her. 

Mumma - What happened my child,  my princess?  Why are you crying so much?  See,  I am here for you.  I am with you always.  Whenever you want me near you,  just close your eyes,  I will always be here with you.  Now tell me,  what happened? 

Shiny - Ohhh. Mumma!!  Where have you gone?  Nobody loves me.... Am I so bad?  And it's paining so much mumma..... What do I do? 

Mumma -  My love,  I am here na,  it won't pain now. All will be fine.  You are a strong girl na. 

Shiny -  Why does Papa not love me?  What have I done mumma? 

Mumma -  You are my darling princess,  you have not done anything And papa loves you,  he just keeps busy with his work. 

Shiny -   No,  mumma!  He doesn't love me.  He didn't love you also. 

Mumma -  you know why I kept your name as Shiny? Because,  I wanted you to shine like a star in the whole world and I know you will one day.  And hey,  tomorrow is Christmas!!  Your favorite Santa will come tomorrow with lots of gifts.  

Shiny - I don't want any gift mumma.  I just want you.  You are my angel mumma!! 

Mumma-  I am always there for you my darling.  Write your wishes on a paper , close your eyes and tell in the ears of Santa tomorrow . You trust your momma?  Very soon an angel will come in your life and take away all your pains and will make your life beautiful. 

Shiny - Yes mumma,  I trust you!!  But what if Santa is busy and he doesn't come to me? 

Mumma - Then you give your paper of wish to me and I will give it to Santa. 

Shiny - OK Mumma!! 

Some months later,  she met a boy who became her nice friend.  He was very caring and a kind person.  He always used to help others and used to protect her from all class mates who used to bully her.  He always used to guide her and support her in every way.  His name was Rehan. 

Shiny -  Mumma,  Is Rehan my angel? You have sent him for me? 

Mumma - Yes darling,  Rehan is your angel.  He will always take good care of you.  And I am always there for you.  Just close your eyes as always,  I will just be there.  And now make one promise to me that you will be like your name.  You will shine like a star. You will prove to everyone that you despite of a girl,  you are no less than anyone.  You will make me proud 

Shiny - Yes mumma,  I will. Thank you Mummma!!  I love you lots!! 

Shiny and Rehan grew together,  walked together in all tough times holding each others hands like a rock.  Shiny got married to Rehan and she is an independent woman Entrepreneur working for the Upliftment of such unfortunate girls and women. 

Santa can be anyone,  he can be someone around you as in this story,  Shiny 's mother was her Santa.  Or you can become Santa for someone making someone smile or fulfilling someone 's wishes.  

Let all of us become a child once  again today at heart  and make a wish list and give it to our Santa with full faith and belief.  Miracles do happen if we believe in them.  Wishes do get fulfilled if we believe in them!!


Let's spread smile and a lot of happiness in each others lives this Christmas!! 

A very Merry Christmas to all of you!! 

You can also share your story,  the way I shared mine.  I would love to read. 

Keep reading for more!! 


Stay safe,  Stay blessed and stay happy always!! 
Lots of love and  my best wishes always!!

One incident that  changed a girl 's life!! Who knows what life has in store for us  next moment!!
Today,  I am sharing a painful story of a girl,  a young girl of about 12 yrs of age, studying in school, always busy with her studies and tying to fulfill the expectations of her family.  Though she is hardworking and studious,  yet very shy and reserve nature and very sensitive and emotional at heart.  She was good in studies and used to get good marks in all her subjects. She was every teacher' s favorite as she was very obedient as well. Teachers used to give her example in the class. Unfortunately,  she had no friends and her family was also not very supportive of her.  She was always trying to fulfill her mother's wishes and expectations but could never make her happy.  And she didn't understand why,  which,  in turn made her self esteem very low. 


Her name was Sheena.  When she was alone,  she always used to play with her dolls and teddys. Like any other girl,  she also grew up dreaming of her prince charming who will come one day...like a fairy tale and movies we watch but who knew life had planned something else for her.

One day,  one of her Uncle came to stay at her place for some days as he had got a job in her city and her father felt that he should stay with them. Uncle was close to her father . Soon,  Uncle started pampering Sheena,  started buying chocolates and gifts for her. When she refused,  her mother said it's ok. He is a nice person, he is family and you are like a daughter to him.  So she accepted. 

Suddenly  one day,  Sheena 's parents had to go out for 2-3 days as her grandmother was not well.

   Sheena-  Pls take me also with you.  I cant stay alone here. 

   Momma-   Don't behave like a child ..You are a grownup girl now. Your exams are approaching and you have school also. Don't bother me now.  Start sharing some of my responsibilities.  I have to handle everything   - the house , your father,  all relatives,  everything all alone ...so not you now.  Go now,  I have to do the packing. We cant miss the train. Go in the kitchen and cook the food for us. I have no time to listen to you. 

Sheena-  Ok momma!!. I will do as you say

And she was all alone with Uncle. Her parents trusted him enough so she also started trusting him.  But who knew these 3 days will change her life drastically.  

The night came   and after serving dinner to Uncle, she went to sleep in her room on her bed. Suddenly, she woke up when she realized somebody is beside her on her bed and touching her,  here and there,  even her private parts.  She just could not understand what's happening,    what's going on.  And she was shocked.....she was just shocked to see....it was......it was....nobody else.....her Uncle, who her family trusted a lot and she also did. She respected him.

   Sheena-  Ummmmmmmmmmmmm. Uncle,  what are you doing? Pls don't....I don't like it.

Uncle- you dare not shout.  Else,  you cant even imagine what I will do with you. Even if you try to....who will believe you? Nobody will. 
               

He threatened her  pressed her mouth so that she cant do anything,  not even shout. She was physically,  sexually abused by him regularly consecutively for 3 days and he kept on threatening her if she even tried to tell this to anyone. 

Finally   4 th day, when her parents came back   she tried but she could not share anything with them as she also knew that nobody will believe her. The trauma   she was going through emotionally and mentally had taken her smile from her.  She was always lost. Her marks started going down. 

Soon,  some years later, her parents felt that they should get her married now. And they can get over with all the responsibilities they had for her.

She got married. And soon when her husband tried to come close to her,  she pushed him away and started shouting.  So many years of trauma had made her insane.  All the pain inside her.......tears, anger all came out once. The husband just could not understand anything.  It was many years of strange silence which broke like this today.  But who knew that this silence had to be broken only for a while.  She had a nervous breakdown and got admitted in mental asylum.  

It has been many years now,  she is 35 years of age,  still in mental asylum. Her husband divorced her the next day of that incident and re married someone else.

Nobody can imagine the trauma she must have gone through all her life after what happened with her as a child.  It broke her in pieces emotionally,  mentally,  physically and at a soul level too.  I just hope she gets better and fine soon.  But can she live a normal life?  Why are some journeys like this?  It was not her fault at all.  Why she had to go through all this? Who is to be blamed?  Our society?  You know,  we fall , we get physically hurt and in sometime,  we heal but some traumas...?..How many more Nirbhayas we will have? When will a girl or a woman not be looked at like this,  just as an object? I am still wishing and hoping that some day such a world will come in place.  

My purpose of sharing this story and experience with you is only that if all of us can understand and become more sensitive and more human towards some things. 

  Not all stories unfortunately have a happy ending.  Do share your thoughts in the comments section below. 

Keep reading for more  I will see you soon with another story or another experience.  

Lots of Love and My Best Wishes!!

Stay safe,  stay blessed and stay happy always!!

Well,  if you think or talk about  Love,  everyone has their own definition of love.  But can you really define love?  Actually,  you can just feel it but can't see it like air.  And to me,  Love is a selfless,  pure,  intense deep emotional connection,  a union of two souls and hearts with a life long commitment and it's destined.  I strongly believe that You don't find love but Love finds you.  You change and grow so much with it, when it happens in your life.  You just don't know when it touches you and your life.  Two souls walk together and grow together in life.  

This is a story of a friend of mine,  who is a singer based out of Gujarat.  He has a background of music and  does live concerts. I,  being an Artist at heart,  and singer too felt an artistic musical connection with him very soon.  Every Sunday became a ritual of singing together on call with him and I just loved this feeling of getting lost in music and singing with him forgetting this world of tensions.  Artists have their own beautiful lovely world too . I am sure,  my artistic readers can very well relate with me here.   I used to forget all my tensions,  everything and used to just get lost in a different peaceful musical world.  I remembered my childhood days,  when in school days,  I used to go to learn music from my Guruji after my school used to get over. 


We became nice friends soon because of this beautiful musical connection. Though he is very young to me in age but he has been a very nice pure person at heart and he had his own struggles and challenges of his life.  But I want to share his love story today with you all,  which is very different and unusual,  which actually shows that when real love happens,  it really happens and it doesn't see anything -age,  caste,  or anything.  And it evolves you so much that it makes you a much better person.  

He was only 24 years young,  when I got connected with him and we have never met though yet.  And as his age,  he has been  quite immature and always used to take suggestions from me as his guide,  as I am elder to him.  He is from a very conservative family background and always believed that he would marry a simple girl by the choice of his family. Well,  we have been friends for about 4 years now and here??..,  


One day,  he told me , " Hey Shalini,  I am in love!! " I said,  Really? That's nice to know!!" Then I laughed for a while and asked him ," Do you really know what love is? I hope it's not your today's generation love,  which comes and goes soon and which is actually not love at all. 

Then he said, " No,  No,  it's your type of love - that intense deep lifetime commitment,  lifetime heart and soul connection wala love!!" I was like... OK!!. Nice!!  I smiled for a while and I wanted to know more about it.  

And actually this time,  his voice had more depth,  a little more evolved and a little more mature.  He didn't sound like that immature boy who used to be infatuated so easily. And then I asked,  " So,  Who 's the girl? "And he said, " You will be surprised to know. " I said, " I am already surprised,  so pls tell me now. "

My friend - She is 10 years elder to me,  separated with a child which does not matter to me at all and I love her with all my heart.  I just can't imagine my life without her!! 

Me - Hold on!!  Let me take a deep breath and digest what you are saying.  Are you really sure about this feeling? 

My friend - Yes,  very sure!! 

Me - Do you even realize the challenges?  Have you even thought about it? You might be immature and confused about your feelings but that girl must have gone through a lot and she might get hurt.  Also,  the age gap between you two is quite a concern.  She will grow old faster than you.  And the maturity levels of both of you will be different.  Do you see spending your whole life with her?  Do you see yourself growing old with her till last breath?  Marrying her,  being with her till last breath?  And what about your conservative family?  I had all these questions for him.  Do you have answers to all these questions?  Have you asked yourself? It's something serious and responsible OK,  my dear friend!! 

My friend - Yes,  I do!  I really love her so much!!  I accept her the way she is and with all she has,  even with her child... Will be mine too. 

Well,  I wanted to see if he is only talking or he is really serious about it and has grown and evolved that much. That's what Love really does to you!!  Hmmmmm........ Well,  yes!!  
Though,  I trusted him as a person that he will never hurt anyone but I was not able to trust his immature age. 

It has been 2 years now, and he is still in love with her.  They are happy together.  Though he had always come to me for suggestions and guidance,  their relationship had really gone through lot of challenges as I already knew and had gauged.  There was a time when he was really insecure about her and they had a lot of differences in understanding each other.  I have really seen him transforming from an immature boy to a mature evolved man. And that's what true love does to you!!  And also,  loving an elder person does to you.  

It's a very rare ,real , unconventional and unusual love story. I am happy for them.  I hope to see them happily married soon with all my best wishes.  Though,  I have personally always felt and believed that age gap in a relationship or Love is not good,  specially in today's times  But I think real love does not see any boundaries or gaps.  It just feels the connection from heart and soul which is destined..  I always used to wonder if movies like "Dil toh Paagal hai "or  " Wake up Sid " (showing age gap love)  can be real but seeing this love story,  it seems it can be real . Love really conquers all if it's real!! . 

What do you think?  Really?  Does Age gap matter in Love?  Can it be long lasting? 

Let me know your opinion in comments box pls. Also,  share any of your love stories like this,  I would love to read. 

Lots of love and my best wishes!! 

Stay safe,  stay blessed and stay happy always!! 

Keep smiling !!

Happy Reading!!

Well,  what we really see these days often,  is that a lot of people around us committing suicide, specially youth.  Recently, an uncle staying close to my home in our apartment, tried to commit suicide 3 times, when finally,  3rd time,  he could make it.  And the suicide note,  he had left behind, mentioned that he could not bear the pain of his mother who left him some years back. He had his wife and kids too though,  but still he decided to quit one day and leave this world.
 Sometime back,  a young IAS student had committed suicide because he got late for his exam and was not allowed to give the exam for which he had prepared the whole year.  He was only 10 mins late because of the severe traffic and he requested the examiner a lot but all in vain.  Thereafter,  he locked himself in his room and decided to commit suicide mentioning as his last words as,  " I can't take this pressure anymore!! ". 

I had a childhood friend during my college days,  who was deeply,  madly and obsessively in love with a girl from his school days.  Well,  it was a one sided love only from his side, as the girl never responded to his feelings. He still kept on pursuing her.  In fact,  he started learning all the things she liked, like playing guitar.  And this rejection actually made him cut his hand often  with a knife but was never successful in it despite many attempts.  

And now we read about the famous actor,  close to our hearts, Sushant Singh Rajput gave up and committed suicide.  It's said that he had severe depression for quite some time,  many months.  


Well,  what else,  I am sure,  we will find enough real stories of people who decided to end their lives one day or one moment and left this world.  And it is really very sad to see this actually.  In fact,  I had also lost someone,  a very close friend of mine in an accident and I can very well,  feel and understand the pain of losing someone close. I had gone mad and could not stop my tears which used to flow every now and then. And I had nobody to talk to OR share my pain with,  who can just listen to me and understand.  I was looking for him everywhere every time.  Then I realized his soul is always with me. I have to go on and fulfill all the dreams he had seen for me.  That moment,  I realized that my life is not only mine,  in fact, I owe it to many people.  So how can I give up?  I can't.  May be life is testing me and I will pass through this.  This shall pass like other moments.  If you lose someone close to you suddenly in the friction of seconds or a moment,  you just can't accept it,  you feel guilty and you feel there was so much to say and the pain is much more for the closeness of a person who has suddenly ended his life  

I have really one question to ask, "Is suicide the only solution? What if we had no option as suicide and we were just bound to live, the way we can't control our birth? "Whatever is the reason,  whether,  it's a heartbreak or a peer pressure,  competition or  losing someone close,  one thing is common that there is a lot of grief,  pain, unhappiness which is unbearable and gets difficult to handle and you feel that ending your life can and will give you peace.  Is that so really? When we have happy moments,  we want to hold on to them but when we have tough moments,  we can't hold on to them. Why? Because that's how life and our mind works.  And you know what,  nothing is permanent as everything changes every moment. Change is the only thing which is constant.  There is a saying -"Tough times don't last but tough people do! ". Whenever I feel low,  I always say to myself, " This shall pass too!!  Have faith and have patience!!  Keep going on!! ".I want to tell you a story here by Buddha.  

Buddha was walking and walking and walking continuously to a place,  one day,  with his disciple when he got tired and asked his disciple to sit and rest for a while.  He also asked him to bring water for him from a nearby pond as he was very thirsty.  So,  the disciple went to bring water for him.  But when he reached the pond,  he realized that the water is very dirty with mud all around.  He said to himself, " How can I take this water for Buddha?  I can't. "He went back empty handed without water and told Buddha, " Sorry!!  The water is very muddy,  so I could not bring it for you ". Then Buddha said, " Don't worry,  go to the same place after sometime and you will find clean water and then you can bring it for me.  Rest till then. ". The disciple said, "OK,  as you say. " But he didn't understand what Buddha meant by this yet he decided to trust him and follow his guidance.  Sometime later,  he went to the same pond again and to his surprise,  he saw the clean water there.    He kept on wondering on the way back  while carrying the water for Buddha.  When he reached Buddha,  he asked him, " How is this possible? " Buddha said, " This is what happens when you wait for a while and let things flow on its own. We waited for a while and then the mud had settled down on its own leaving the clean water up running.  Same happens in our life with our mind also. When we allow it to rest for a while,  things flow and settle on their own.  We just need to let it flow and not hold onto it or give up then.  Just sit and rest for a while and then walk again." Great learning for me when I read this story by him. 


Many times,  just one moment makes us weak and so weak that in the heat of that moment, we decide to give up.  I am sure that such a moment must have come in all of our lives at  some point of time  which must have made us very weak at that point of time,  when your mind says , "This is it,  I can't see anything beyond now,  all blank , my life is worthless!!  I am worthless !!" And it's not a nice feeling at all.  Such a moment came in my life also, when all my dreams were shattered and I was all alone going mad and blank.  I was broken into pieces and shattered. " The Hard Rock me "was shattered and could not see any way out.  But I decided,  not to quit and let that moment pass. I said to myself,  Like other moments,  this shall also pass!! Talk to someone at that weak moment of yours which is making you mad and restless.  If you don't have anyone,  write your thoughts in a diary , listen to nice music or do something what you like,  try to divert your mind and see the moment passes just like that.  It's the accumulation of our negative thoughts about us which makes us feel like this - unworthy or unhappy.  If we just allow that moment to pass,  we can see,  life is still worthy!! You are worthy!!  How can you not be worthy when you are a part of this Universe,  made by Universe.  And Universe has made all of us unique  , we just need to realize and discover this in ourselves.  If you start looking at yourself from your eyes and not from someone else 's eyes. Trust that Universe has a unique purpose for each one of us that's why we are living and alive.  We face the adversities for a reason.  Everything has a reason,  if you can trust the process.  It was not easy for me too but I tried to trust the Universe,  go with the flow and get up again,  every time I was shattered because I knew this is not the end,  may be a roadblock or a tunnel and I will see the light ahead.  And see,  that's what happened with me,  such moments were a turning point of my life.  We all know that good has to go through a very tough process of melting and pain,  then only it finally becomes the precious gold we see as final product which is nice,  beautiful and strong too.  These adversities make us strong.  Now,  when I look back,  I realize,  I had to go through all this pain to become who I am today.  That process,  that journey is important.  We have to trust the process and trust the universe.  He has a plan for all of us.  He has sent all of us with a purpose 

No broken relationship,  no unfulfilled dram, no loss,  nothing is larger than life itself.  I believe there is a lack of love for oneself which actually makes one unhappy and you feel worthless.  Life is a very precious gift given by Universe and in fact,  human life is the most precious and rare gift given to us as per "Bhagwad Gita ", the mythological book we all know.  We should value it.  You never know when the next moment brings positive for you,  so you need to have that faith in yourself and Universe and keep going. That's what life is all about!!  Keep going, come what may!! .  Well,  as very rightly said,  the journey is important and not the destination!!   

I have also gone through so many weak moments in my life,  where I felt,  " I can't see anything beyond this,  Where to go?  Here is the dead end!! " But then,  immediately,  somehow,  my inner voice told me that what I have,  many don't,  so I should value what I have before this is also lost. So,  I always look at people who are more unfortunate than me,  which inspires me to do something for them. Yes,  I can make something worthy of me and my life.  All of us can. Trust yourself.  Love yourself.  Value yourself!!  And you never know what you see as dead end might just be a roadblock and it is beginning of something new!! It has happened few times in my life,  when I felt the moment is a dead-end and it became a turning point of my life and beginning of something very new. 


There is a saying, " What you have,  you might feel it is not enough, but try to look at it from someone else ' s eyes, you will realize that it's enough!! " I have myself got up so many times in my life after every loss and every downfall because I knew in my heart,  somewhere suicide is never a solution to any problem. I am sure,  all of us have heard these stories in our childhood but sometimes it is good to read them again and again 

Naadaan hotel hain woh jo yun zindgi se haar maan lete hain !!
Ek cheenti se seekho zindgi jeene ka jasba,  itni mushkiloen ke baad bhi woh koshish karna nahi chodti,  haar nahi maanti kyuki koshish karne waaloen ki Kabhi haar nahi hoti!! 

Everyday sun rises and gives us light without fail,  Trees always give us shadow without getting tired teaching us to never give up!!  There is always light after the darkness!! 

Birds sing daily for us selflessly,  happily.  Trees give us shadow when we are tired from the heat of sun.  If you see around,  everything about nature is so beautiful and happy. Why?  Because they just keep flowing selflessly.  They are so happy and we get happy with nature.  We smile too!!  

Love yourself!!  Know yourself!!  Accept yourself!!  You are unique in your own ways,  the way fingers of our hands are different and unique in their own ways and each has its own purpose!! 

Your dreams,  your happiness, everything is from You!! If you are there,  everything is there!!  And you are worthy of everything!!  You are worthy within yourself!!  There is a saying,  " Life has a different exam for everyone,  You can't copy it!!  "" 

Never Give Up!! 


Lots of Love and my best wishes!! 
 
Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always!! 

Keep Smiling!!

When I just think of Women, the first name which comes to my mind is  Beauty. A Beautiful Creation of God. But how many of us realize this beauty within us? Not many, in fact, hardly any. I want to introduce YOU to  You today- the Beautiful Creation of God!! 

What is Beauty? 
Beauty is something which is so energetic, vibrant, colorful, positive, strong, and voluptuous and a woman has all these qualities. 
She lives all the various different colors of life- Joy, Happiness, Sadness and still goes on and on with a great soothing smile on her face throughout her life. She lives only for others- her closed ones. When she is born, she is told that she should be like this, she should be like that; she should behave like this, she should not behave like that; she should not laugh fully; she should not be her natural self; she should wear this, she should not wear that; and she keeps following all these norms and conditions of the society, one after the other; in the process, forgetting.

Who She really is!!?
She is a Unique Creation of God!! She is an Inspiration!! She is a Nurturer!! She gives whole of herself for everyone else. She is a Daughter, she is a Sister, she is a Wife, she is a Mother, she is a Friend; and she plays all these roles, nurturing every relationship of hers, forgetting about herself- that's her Beauty!!! 

As a daughter, she fulfils and lives up to all the expectations of her parents. 



As a wife, she carries all her values and virtues given to her by her family since childhood to her new home and nurtures all the newly formed relationships in that new home. She has all the strength and power in herself to adopt new ways, new culture and new environment. All this while, she carries some memories with her and creates new memories of a new life.


As a mother, first of all, she carries a child in her womb, bears all the pain of bringing him/her in this world and then nurturing the new born to the eternity till he/ she grows as a mature responsible individual adult. She instils all her values and virtues in bringing him or her up. When her child grows and marries, gives birth to a child; she becomes a grandmother.


As a grandmother, she again tries to instill her values and virtues to the newer generation in whatever way and form she can. And one final day, she leaves this world leaving some good/ bad memories with all her closed ones around or else she is living a life of being dependent on the people around her or an unfulfilled life full of some regrets and some sadness in her eyes which she again hides behind her smile. Yet, she always has some unanswered questions in her mind, which unfortunately she never asks herself because she loses herself so much in the whole process. 

She just forgets to ask herself, WHO IS SHE?? 
As I mentioned earlier, in this article, Each and Every Woman is a Unique Creation of God, she has a Unique Talent of her own. She has a Unique Identity of her Own!!? She just needs to find herself. She just needs to discover herself. She just needs to realize her Inner Strength. And when life pushes her to be left alone in this world to deal with all the difficulties and challenges, she starts pitying herself and starts feeling weak. Ohhhhh?.
Why does she always forget her Inner Strength? She is the one who gives life, creates and nurtures everything. She is Wise, Pure and Strong like the GODDESS!!!! Ohhhhh?..All YOU WOMEN out there?. Yes, I am talking to YOU when will YOU realize your -inner Strength. 

Get up and discover you Beautiful Self and make this world a much better beautiful place to live in. You can only do it!!!? Yes, it's YOU and YOU only who can do it. You have done it yesterday, you can do it today and you can do it always!! I am not telling you to leave everything, every relationship, every duty and responsibility of yours; I am just telling you to discover yourself, Your Unique Self and stand up for Yourself, Create Your Own IDENTITY and Stand up for What You think and feel is Right for You!!!

Keep Reading for more and keep Smiling!!

One Unique Friendship, never seen or heard before!! You don't see such friendship these days -15 years long - Small tribute to my best friend, my guide, my Angel !!
Well!!  There are some dates in life that can never be forgotten and give tears in our eyes, no matter what and how much you control!! And  takes  life back again for sometime with some memorable moments coming in your heart. There is this  one date that comes in my life every year and gives some smiles and some sadness in my eyes. That date is 25th April, death anniversary day of my Bestie cum Brother. On this day, 2 years ago, ohhhh God, I had lost my  bestie who was like brother for me,  in an accident, no no I haven't lost him because he is still with me and will always be  with me.
 
What a strange thing - which relation will remain  with us for how long - lifetime or only for sometime and will go  how far ,no one knows, I wish, we could  know this.  I really wish we could know this!!!  

A very strong soul connection!!! The only person, only friend in my life who walked with me consistently throughout, for 15 years since the day we met. And the only  friend and in fact,  the only person in my life,  who understood me and  my dreams so well without any judgements. And you know how we met for the first time as if it was just destined and I didn't know this that time. We had met ,first time, at a bus stop when I was coming back from my office that evening in CP  and there was a problem with chartered buses that day and we had to go to the same destination. I went to him and checked about the problem with buses. So,  then he said that he also has to go to the same place and if I don't mind,  we can share an auto.  I felt comfortable with him as he was elder title and looked like a very nice gentleman who can be trusted.  So we shared auto and then we had some conversations. As I had marketing profile and he was from advertising world, we connected quite well. He made me his friend very quickly, but I don't make friends so soon, neither earlier nor today. I take a long time to make friends. It's not like that I don't meet people or people don't do friendship with me. I believe that friends are not made they just become  when it has to happen it just happens. It's destined.  Often many people accept me as their friend very quickly but I don't accept them quickly, that's probably because I never get anyone to understand me, who can understand my dreams as me and my dreams are not as much different, I never had such a friend who could accept me the way I am, without judging me,  who could understand me and my dreams. I was a best friend of myself and how can I forget him, My Gannu Bhaiya and for all of us Lord Ganesha but for me- my Gannu bhaiya!!!
 
And this first friend of mine who, when met me, suddenly started talking about my dreams. He was kind- hearted and very innocent. He was very open minded,  non judgmental, mature, patient and cool headed He believed more in my dreams than me. And he always used to push me and encourage me  to follow my dreams, which I really liked.  All these years,  where I have been fighting alone for my dreams and here is someone who wants to help and believes in my dreams. Wow!!!  Thank you so much Gannu  Bhaiya for sending him in my life!! 

 I really wanted to become an artist, singer and actor since childhood and as soon as my eyes opened , I grew with this dream from childhood, but I also understood that I have to achieve my dreams and destination myself. Why was it difficult for me?  Well, another long story and a long  chapter of my life,  some other time,  I will share with you.  For now, let's come back to the chapter of my bestie. So,  this new friend of mine started introducing me to the people of advertising world and started doing my recordings.. Now what.  then often we started to be  seen together and people started doing gossiping about us.
 
Well,  our talks were unlimited and never ending,  always on and on. He was quite different from me. He was 9 years elder than me and slowly slowly everyone started feeling jealous from our strong friendship. Some of his talks really touched my heart. He was very selfless, helpful and simple person. I think he must have done PHD in humanity. Everyone considered him as stupid and always took him for granted which I did not like at all but still he did not give up on his selfless goodness and probably because of these few,   such people, true friendship and love is still alive as  an example, a precedent. Everyone was astonished after seeing our strong friendship.

There is a line from a famous song I love " Zinda hai hum hi se naam pyaar ka,  ki marke bhi kisi ko yaad ayenge,  kisi ke aansuon mein myskarayenge,  jeena isika naam hai!!  "
The first person in my life who was selflessly committed to my dreams. He used to encourage me always. He trusted more in me and  my dreams than I could. He always maintained friendship from his side with strong and selfless commitment and confidence. He knew and understood me very well like my heart used to be just a mirror for him and I was an an open book to him.  I used to feel so safe,  so natural and so comfortable with him,  that I have never ever felt with anyone in my life ever.   Not even girl-boy barrier, so pure!!!

 We never had fights between us and even if sometimes, we did have some small fights and I used to go silent, but  he didn't allow  me to stay silent for more than 24 hours. He knew how to break my silence and how to bring smile back on my face. He always used to say this that he can never see me sad and will always be with me. Even if he has to go up in the universe, yet his soul will always be with me not gonna leave me and he said right he was with me till his last moment and his soul is still with me. 
 
And then a very long distance came between us, people among us often felt that such friendship can not happen. A boy and a girl can never be friends. They felt that he might have some special feelings in his heart for me. I ask you all,   Do you also feel that a boy and a girl can never be friends? I always treated him as my elder brother, a God gifted person who always showed me the right path, a mentor, a friend. His family also thought the same and then,  I thought its better to stay away from him. Our friendship began to be questioned and it was not at all acceptable to me and I stopped talking to him. I never answered any of his  call or message. He always hold his side of friendship with self less commitment and never left me  On my birthday or any special occasions he used to come to my house to find me and I never used to come in front of him. And this silence lasted till 3 years , when one day my father explained to me that good and true people and true friends are very hard to find, never do this with them. I told him everything and also the reason but on his advise, I started talking to my best friend again.
 
He never tried to change me but I changed a lot with him. Just like he changed my whole life. On his bye bye from this world,  he taught me the right way  to live. The girl who was  always afraid of love, was taught to share love. He taught me to share love with an open heart. In my life, my students, who inadvertently held me in these tears and made me laugh and walk again. I did not know that I will be  so changed with him that I will start changing lives of many other people. He always used to make fun of me, by saying , ""you give so much lecture yaar.!!! Become a mentor!! "" I miss that a lot. Every moment, everywhere for so many months, I saw him  like chasing me wherever I used to go.  I could not believe that he was gone. Its like my eyes are finding him and if by chance I meet him somewhere i will start fighting with him. Just one question in tears ? Where have you gone brother?? please come back how many things remained incomplete. I always thought that I will tell him tomorrow but it didn't come. Our talks were limitless and he used to listen to me for hours without any complaint and without saying anything. Now with whom I will share everything now I have no one who will listen to me like you and once again I became alone. Just smiling with students and after that again alone. He was my mentor, my guide, my friend, my brother in short he was everything to me and even I don't know what he was to me may be an angel. But whatever it was it was a soul connection. Like I used to handle everything emotionally, mentally and solve everyone's problem strong hard rock Shalini in front of everyone , he was the only one who understood me and handled me like no one else. I used to forget all my problems when I was with him and so as he.
 
It felt like I had become orphaned in just one moment. That day,  I realized the  feeling if someone doesn't have anyone close,  how bad it feels.  But I have always been walking alone since childhood. I have been handling myself falling and getting up on my own,  then why it was so difficult to walk alone today? I guess some habits are such.  I had just forgotten to walk alone.  I was such a changed person with him.  He had become such a part of my soul and my life. 

After coming back from my sessions,  I used to sit at metro station for  hours all alone like mad.  It used to be a common point for us and this was one place we used to cross our paths and used to meet often. I used to sit there and hopelessly wait for him for hours until someone used to come and say to me, " Why are you sitting here like this?  Who are you waiting for?  It's been a long time.  Pls go to your home!!"My eyes were always looking for him.  Ohhhh God,  pls help me!!    And then,  I used to go home but again in tears.  I used to ask my Gannu Bhaiya,  "" What do I do?  Pls help me!!  I see him everywhere!!  I don't want to live in Delhi anymore!!  Pls help me,  pls pls help me!!  And then,  I heard a voice.  I looked here and there... Where is this voice coming from.  I was zapped   I was going mad alone like this and nobody to talk to. I wanted to cry and lay my head on someone 's shoulder and pour my heart out but unfortunately,  that only shoulder was gone.  And,  I had to be my own weeping shoulder like always.  But this pain was quite different than the pain I had felt otherwise in my life.  

And I kept listening to one song that time, " Chitti na koi sandesh,  jaane woh kaunsa desh jahan tum chale gaye., Is dil pe lagake thes ........ Kaise maan le hum yeh ki haan tum chale gaye........ ""

I kept on asking Gannu Bhaiya, " Whenever anyone comes close to me,  you always take him away.  You took my grandfather also away from me when I was a child and he was the only one pampering me. ""
.  Thinking all this,  I don't know when I slept and I saw him in my dreams.  He said,  ?You know I can never see you sad. Do You want me to be happy and at peace?    Then you will have to walk and smile again. The dreams, I dreamt for you, you have to fulfill them. I am always with you? and just after that I made a promise to myself and got up and started walking again It was difficult to walk alone like this as I was so used to him. He still gives me encouragement by staying together like this forever. Some soul  connections are very strong!!! Now, I still see him and feel him around but with me,  still walking with me,  holding my hand like a child 
 
That one moment changed me so much that I,   who was never able to express myself, kept everything in my heart , began to tell everything regardless of tomorrow. Who knows if it is tomorrow, whatever it is. This is the only  moment and that's the truth.  Seize it.  He taught me life is  long but  also very short. We should live it to the fullest. 
 
And yes, there are some special days when he used to be with me like my birthday, he used to never forget my birthday and I also, We still celebrate together. Even today on his birthday, I cut the cake and while waiting for his cake on my birthday, I close my eyes and remember for a few moments and cry a little, then I again hear his voice in my ears,  saying  ? I can never see tears in your eyes. You look very sweet when you smile.? That feeling does not end with someone going away. People who are very close to your heart, even after being away are special; he will always remain in my heart, in my memories.
 
 Even today I see him in a song of friendship??., 
in someone's friendship or at some place. Everyday I promise to myself that I have to fulfil all the unfulfilled dreams, he saw for me and I know , he is always with me and will always be with me.
 
There was someone who knew me more than I knew myself, who used to see and understand my pain behind my smile. Someone who could  see my tearsi even in rain also. He is now  lost somewhere as one of the stars in the sky and will be with me like a blessing always!! 
 
If he would have been with me in this lockdown, my lockdown would  have been very different.
And If I sit to write about him.  pages will be  over but memories and our talks about him  will never be over.  And I am still getting some tears and some smile on my face writing this story and sharing it with you.  It took me a long time to realize his friendship and his importance in my life.  I never knew that I will miss him so much. 
        Some things,  I have really learnt from him and life  apart from many more things  -

1.  Many times in our lives,  someone is really around you,  but we take him for granted and we don't value him her as much and after he or she is gone,  we realize that that person was the only one who was so precious in your life.  I also realized it very late as he was always around me,  in my initial years  of friendship with him, I used to get annoyed with his constant calls and care but he was always the same for me since the beginning till his last breath.  As a person, I was not used to such care and closeness as I am a deep introvert ,all by my own always.  But he never changed his love and care and commitment for .me . It was so selfless.  We should value all we have.  

2. One moment has the power to change you and your life.  I was never an expressive person,  being an introvert.  I became expressive after that moment.  That moment changed me a lot and I realized that we should always express our gratitude and feelings for our close ones in the moment because you never know,  what the next moment holds or brings for you. 

3. Selfless love with open and whole heart and commitment come what may,  is the only purest form of friendship and love. He walked with me all throughout selflessly come what may and is still Walking with me.  
4. Going with the flow in life is sometimes good,  that's another thing I learnt from him and life. Journey of my mentoring and sessions started just like that when he told me to take it up.  " He said, " you love kids and theatre,  and also you are an inborn problem solver and guide." Starting with small kids and the elder ones, me and my  life changed so much.  These sessions kept me alive and kept me going after he left me alone in this world.  I was in my session,  when the news of his death reached me in my message box.  I had to still smile and give the session with a heavy heart.  

5. His entry and role in my life was a great turning point for me.  I,  as a person,  used to follow the rules book always and always very planned.  I learnt to open my mind and sometimes take the day as it comes.  Take life as it comes,  trust life,  trust Universe and go on.  I became open to people,  to things,  and largely,  I became open to love and life.
6.  I used to hold old things, old hurts, which are not good , so tightly. I learnt to liberate myself and let go.  It felt much lighter, nice and beautiful!!  

7. I learnt to forgive myself and others.  Not judge others and accept them the way they are.  
Well,  again,  the list of learnings is long enough but will end it here for now . 
       8. He was a very simple person with a selfless golden heart.  A gem of a person and a great human being.  He might not have been very good at many other things but in terms of humanity, he created an example.  I grew and became a much better person just being with him.  

Whatever is meant for you,  will be with you and come to you,  come what may,  at the right time.  And what is not meant for you,  will leave you,  no matter how tight you hold on to it. 

Some relationships change with time and life.  Some relationships change you and your life. You need to choose which one is meant for you , valued for and worthy enough !! 

       
If you also have any such friendship in  your life,  pls share your  story or your  moments and some of your memories with me, I will be happy to read

This story is a small tribute to my Angel Bestie Bhai!!  My Guide!!

Lots of love and my best wishes!!!
 Keep smiling!!
 Stay safe, stay blessed and stay happy always!!

The beautiful and savior Sun,
Your kisses burn me by degrees.
Then the Cloud snatches me
Holding in his strong cold arms.
Though not the strongest:
He fall me down-
I fall! I fall! I fall!
He brakes me into pieces,
Called the Raindrops.
Ah! The long tired journey-
I fall in deep sleep.
But a sudden soft touch
Mingles me with your crying.
I gravitate on your chest,
Where the heart's beating for me.
I find my Equal.

Managing Subordinates "Managers" Role
By. S.S.A. Zaidi.
Training & Development Consultant
Words -1381  -0091 9987644300
 
Managers' role is to achieve organizational objectives through subordinates. A subordinate is one who is subject to the authority or control of another. This yardstick applies to Managers as well. Thus, everyone working in an organization is a subordinate as well as a Manager / Supervisor. Managing Subordinates, therefore, means managing the organization. Organization is a group of people. People are the critical resource. Efficient management of other resources  "Money"  "Material" Machine etc., depends upon the People Efficiency. How this critical resource in the organization is acquired, trained, deployed, motivated, and rewarded is crucial to developing that "Efficiency". The way Managers do things and the people relate to each other indicate how efficiently the organization is functioning. 
 
Each organization has a Vision i.e. what it wants to be or to achieve. Strategy - how this vision can be translated into reality, Structure - the way it is organized to implement the strategy, Systems - the way people in the organization plan, decide, control, monitor day-to-day operations, Staffing and Skills - the way people are developed and utilized and the Style - the way things are done and the employees relate to each other; are the means to realize that vision. Managers must, therefore, muster all the resources at their command to manage these elements in such a way that each reinforces the other to achieve the desired goal. Successful achievement involves more than taking the right decision. It involves ?Successful Implementation.?
 
Successful implementation needs motivation and commitment of employees to perform better. Managers, therefore, need to focus on the development and management of that motivation and commitment in their subordinates.

cont?
Among the subordinates, there may be some "Deadwoods". Deadwoods are non-performers /   under performers. They lack motivation and commitment. They are like non-performing assets (NPAS). NPAS are drain on the organizations? productivity and profitability. All efforts are made by the organization to convert these NPAS into Performing Assets; and if efforts fail, the provisions are made, and ultimately the assets are written off. Similarly, Managers should identify Deadwoods among their subordinates and provide them all opportunities to convert into Performers and if they fail, they should part company. No organization can afford to carry "Deadwoods"
 
A very interesting and eye-opening finding of a research carried out by Jean-Francois Manzoni and Jean-Louis Barsoux- Assistant Professor of Management and senior research fellow respectively (IVEY Management Services, March / April 2003) indicates, that ?the cause of under performance is not necessarily a lack of talent, but the very-and very wrong-behavior of Managers. Changing that behavior will enable lowly regarded subordinates to perform and produce?
 
This wrong behavior of Managers is motivated by their assumptions that their subordinates do not like hard work, hate responsibility, need threats of punishment to perform. These assumptions could make sense in the era of Feudalism where workers did what they were ordered to do. This attitude in today's world is anathema. In today's scenario, more than anything else, it is perhaps the mental and ego gratification that drive people to work hard and creatively. In other words, their motivation is in Self-Interest, so says Robert Town send author of "Further up the Organization". Managers, therefore, need to manage themselves in terms of change in their attitudes, if they want to manage and develop the motivation of their subordinates.



The word Motive comes from Latin root Move. When we speak of the motivation of employees, we mean the factors which move them to behave as they do. These factors are Motives, the engines that energize and direct the behavior of employees. The behavior is generally directed towards the attainment of certain goals. When an employee leaves his seat and goes to drink a glass of water, he shows a motivated behavior. We can say that Thirst is the Motive that moves him to get a glass of water - i.e. goal
 Water can be considered Incentive that satisfies the motive of thirst. Remember Incentive satisfies the Motive. So Motives are the Needs that move human beings in their day-to-day behavior.
                                                                                   
The work place can be seen as a place where employees come to satisfy their Motives. Managers need to find out what their subordinates need; what their Self-Interests are         
Based on that a scheme of reward and punishment could be designed and implemented for all levels of employees. Various jobs and the flow of work can be designed in such a manner that these provide incentives to employees. Remember it is divine policy as well to offer Rewards and Incentives to motivate human beings to do good deeds. The reward for good deeds is Heaven and a better life hereafter. Punishment for bad deeds is Hell. So, let us follow this divine policy in managing our subordinates as well.
 
To manage subordinates and develop motivation and commitment in them, Managers must;
  • Know that if they serve their subordinates and take care of them, they get Power. Power flows from people so they should use that power for their subordinates and not to get glory and credit for themselves. They should refrain from being credit - stealing bosses.  
  • Believe in personal and professional development of their subordinates, encourage them to take risks, make all of them feel involved, develop team work and morale, encourage them to talk freely at meetings and focus on their individual development
  • Utilize the existing creative potential in employees most optimally and recognize and implement their innovative ideas in the work place environment.  
  • Try to reduce personal feelings of insecurity among their subordinates by helping them to develop self-confidence. Personal feelings of insecurity tend to block an employee?s creativity on the job and tend to reduce general productivity and effectiveness.
  • Communicate Performance expectations to their subordinates. Managing is not just fixing targets for them.
  • Eliminate communication blockages. Managers must ensure that open, timely, and correct communication takes place.
  • Empower them. Give them freedom to act but define in precise terms the limits to that freedom. It is only then the Accountability can be enforced. No organization tolerates incompetence.
  • Show consistency in their judgments. They should always do what they say they will. 
  • Not keep anything secret / confidential from their second-in-command. There will be very few items and that too occasionally that they need to keep to themselves, else most of the things Managers consider strictly private and confidential, will see the light of the day.
  • Not play favorites. Be fair in dealings. Equity generates Trust and Morale..
  • Build up reputation for reliability and dependability. They should not set standards for themselves different from those for others. Double standards are unhealthy.
  • Be resolver of the problems. They should not sweep problems under the carpet. Real problems need tackling.
  • Ensure that systems and procedures are in place so that the direction of subordinates is systematic and not left to chance.
  • Avoid such actions and directives as may create distrust or lack of confidence in their motives. .
  • Accept employees, participation in management as an important instrument for better human relations.
  • Show interest in the welfare of their subordinates.
  • Raise the level of employee motivation, increase the readiness of subordinates to accept change and improve the quality of managerial decisions.
Think what they themselves expect from their superiors. 

They would obviously expect:
                                 i.         Honesty, straightforwardness, and fairness in dealings.
                               ii.         Involvement in and being kept informed about things that directly / indirectly concern them.
                              iii.         An opportunity to express their point of view.
                              iv.         Their views being considered sensibly and their opinions being sought.
and above all these, they would like their superiors to be people they can respect for their ability to make sensible decisions and for their consistency of judgment.
 
  If this is what Managers? expectations are from their superiors, then their subordinates too would expect from them many of these considerations and justifiably so. Managers must respond positively to these expectations to establish their credibility.
 
Managing is not only getting the work done. Managing is communicating; managing is developing subordinates through work. If Managers can meet and manage these challenges, they will have a team of highly energized, motivated, and committed subordinates so crucial for an efficiently managed vibrant organization.
So dear managers be passion- igniter and competence -appreciator and see the productivity of your organization going up and up

The key to unleashing employee's productivity in an organization is held by the management.  To a very great extent the style of management and the way the employee's work is organized has a direct impact on the productivity.
An employee's performance on the job is the function of his ABILITY and his WILLINGNESS to work.  In many cases it has been observed  that an employee does not perform at the level he is capable of, though he has necessary skills and competence to do the job. The obvious reason for this is his unwillingness to work. The lack of will to do his job has an impact on his work output. This affects   the organizational productivity adversely. Why this unwillingness to work is the question management should try to add an answer to.  Many studies conducted have revealed that employee's unwillingness emanates from the work that does not provide him recognition, responsibility, growth and advancement. The major highlights of these studies have been their findings that employees with higher job satisfaction care about the quality of their work and are more committed to the organization.  If the employee gets what he seeks from his job, he experiences job satisfaction that motivates him to perform above acceptable level.




However Motivators are different for different individuals. The role of Management is to  find out  those things that an employee seeks from his job and then so structure the job that it provides him what he seeks.  This would spur  him on to perform at relatively higher level leading to increased organizational productivity.
All employees start their career with a motive to achieve success.  This motive  propels them to ACTION. Management therefore needs to ensure that conducive conditions are  created to foster and inspire this motive.

The two most significant conditions  conducive for sustaining this motive at optimum level are
  • Organizational Culture / Climate
  • Job Characteristics.


ORGANISATION  CLIMATE / CULTURE
Organization climate and culture  should provide support for reasonable bonafide mistakes that would not impinge on the overall financial credibility of the organization. Every organization has rules. These rules explain the way business transactions are and should be done in the organization. A departure from any of these rules is taken as a ?Mistake? or an error. A mistake is just an event. It is actually the first step in learning. Learning comes from making a mistake and correcting it. Therefore, if the organizational support is not there, the creativity that emerges from the need to achieve would be lost to the organization. It would lead to frustration and apathy on the part of the employees.  And  consequently the productivity would be adversely affected.
 
Frustrations among employees are also caused by role conflict and role ambiguity. Overlapping of functions and encroachment upon other's areas of responsibilities produce a dampening effect on the performance.  To safeguard against this it is essential that each employee in the organization has his role and extent of his authority clearly defined.
 
Open communication, clearly defined roles, opportunity for up gradation of skills, scope for employees to use their skills and knowledge and avenues for their growth and development should be the visible elements of the organizational culture and climate so essential for the sustained motivation of employees.

JOB CHARACTERISTICS

Job assigned to an employee is another equally important factor. It should be challenging and there should be encouragement and appreciation.  Success on the job should lead to better and more important assignments.  A job with these characteristics will certainly reinforce the employee's motive to achieve success.  This will lead to higher job satisfaction and therefore increased productivity.
Shakespeare said, The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars but in ourselves?.
 
Applied to Management, it would mean that problems of productivity may very well be  not in their employees but in the behavior of the Management.  Any tactics designed to manipulate employees would not help in increasing productivity.  Management should strive to find ways to unleash the potential for work that exists in most of the employees.  Managers work with and through people and therefore they should be sensitive to the needs and requirements of people who work for them.  If they are,  they can increase employee's achievement by inspiring their inner urges  to ACHIEVE in consonance with the organizational goals.  Although financial rewards instill a brief  ?HIGH? regarding job satisfaction, the effects wear off quickly.  The Management, therefore, should take steps to foster sustained high morale and as a result higher productivity and quality.
Telltale signs that morale problems exist, should not escape the attention of the management. These signs may be irregular attendance, increasing turnover and  increasing customer complaints.  However most management instinctively know when things go awry, but they may not admit it to themselves for the fear that acknowledging it may mean admitting the existence of a problem with their own style of management.  But if a journey towards better productivity is to be successful, this EGO problem must be overcome.
In all the organizations managers manage Money, Machine and Manpower.  Efficient management of Money and Machine depend upon efficiency of Manpower i.e. employees.  No amount of money dedicated to equipment/infrastructure will translate into the desired results unless a reasonable investment is made in those who operate the equipment's.  Finding good employees is not that easy, so management should put in a little extra effort and consideration into keeping the ones they have, happy and productive, making them feel that they are a part of the organization  and giving them recognition for the job they do.  If the management do it, they will see the productivity graph of their organization soaring.

Sometimes we hear from elder that we should not talk much while eating. But why? Is there any scientific reason behind this?
YES. 
SCIENTIFIC REASON: We have digestive tract and respiratory tract in our body. Through digestive tract food enters and through respiratory tract air enters to lungs. These two tracts runs parallel to each other and they are very close to each other. But if any food particles enter respiratory tract, it may lead to choking(বিষম). 
     So for this, the opening of respiratory tract is covered by a flap like structure called epiglottis. 
But when we talk while eating there are chances that epiglottis may open. So food particles may enter respiratory tract. It may cause choking. Sometimes serious choking may lead to serve conditions. 
 

That's why often we are asked not to talk much while swallowing or eating.

Are you a freelancer? Are you facing economic issues since the pandemic? Are you facing a balance problem between income and expenditures?

Crisis faced by the world

 Due to covid, the economic impact is disastrous. All economic sectors are getting affected by the pandemic. Industries factories got shut down in lockdown by the pandemic. In the service sector, many employees lost their jobs during the lockdown and many are working on half of their salary package.

At the beginning of the pandemic, people got panicked and, as a result, there was a bad social impact. The people started suffering from anxiety, depression, hunger, financial issues, health issues, unemployment. This all was happening because we are living in an unusual time, so people are not exactly able to understand what to do to survive? What do we need? Everyone got quarantined at their homes. People were unable to figure out how to earn money by staying at home. How long you can live on our savings and what about the ones who do not have savings?                                   

Freelancers are facing economic issues. As we know freelancers are independent workers. At the starting of lockdown, freelancers faced the most challenging scenarios. Platform companies, grocery stores, pharmacies have done exceedingly well so far. COVID-19 is a lecture on the importance of ensuring quickness in business.

Journey of working remotely

As we all use and know about the internet, websites and apps ad even many of us use it. India is ranked as the 2nd fastest growing freelancer in the world. Freelancers starting showing their skills on social platforms.
 Businesses search for freelancers by posting their requirements on different platforms like through websites, social platforms, apps. Freelancers also started posting their skills, making demo videos, and their experience. Freelancers started seeking jobs online. Freelancers can work on a project basis, can find a part-time job or contract job. The Job seekers started remote working. 

 Due to the pandemic, everyone started remote working. This situation also helped freelancers to work with international clients and show their skills on an international level which wouldn?t have been possible if they were working in offices. Everyone started to adapt to the new normal. No doubt, this situation has made a huge impact on the financial stability of people. Remote workers have freedom and greater flexibility. Some freelancers started providing free services, helping each other. Now there are websites where freelancers make their profiles and upload their resumes. They check the job post related to their skills. There are job requirements like digital marketing, web designing, sales & marketing, writing & editing, data scientist, apparel & fashion, education, legal services, finance, engineering. There is freedom for freelancers and businesses to have virtual interaction. Then the interview is conducted through voice call or video call. Freelancers with skills are taking online classes by teaching skills at a reasonable amount. All work is going online like meetings, consultations over facetime, digital workshops, online classes, live streaming events, and many others. People have now adapted to the covid world and are also satisfied in remote working. Now, many freelancers and businesses are after the lockdown ended.

 Freelancers and businesses are finding it more flexible and comfortable to remote working. Having a growing workplace of freelancers can provide flexibility and quality service. Many companies have declared some jobs permanent work from home. Many people are happy working online, meeting new people online, and collaborating with others. Social media helped people adapting the covid world. One of the unusual highlights of the pandemic is that it has created a shared global experience of an overwhelming event.

Impact of the pandemic on freelancers

Covid-19 is still having an impact on our life which is not letting everything come on track again. Some businesses are forced to adapt to this world due to no other option. Freelancers faced delays in payments. The situation today is difficult but if handle vigorously we will be able to adapt to this now the covid world. Some freelancers starting bidding to get the work they bid less than other freelancers even some get ready to do it for free to show their skills in hope that in the future client will provide him more projects. Connections need to be secure because many scams are also going on. Individuals are doing scams to get their work done by freelancers online and not paying them later for their hard work. 

At this unsure time businesses and freelancers who can adapt smartest ways will make the best from this new world. So, freelancers should look for work where no commission is taken and can work for trusted clients and websites. Everyone is the action of adapting to the covid world.

He took me in his arms
But didn't let come out his tears.
Always he hides his tears with smile
Seeing him I understand the word versatile.
He doesn't say he loves me
But my sickness? He can't see.
He wasn't with me at home during daytime
He was collecting food and pleasure of mine.
His struggle and fight can't I measure
To him, I'm the most precious treasure.
We'll stay together forever
He is none but my father.

Money does not have an age limit, if you can spend it you should be able to earn it. Wake up!!! You are in the 21st century, we all need money leave out the sentiments;that you are  too young to earn . ?We are the  leaders  of tomorrow? So we are told,  but a leader of tomorrow has to start preparing from today. This is why and how to make money as a teenager. 

Our Teacher Nature

Look at the animal workforce especially the ants, every single one of them has an assigned duty regardless  of age and size. This is the single reason they flourish so well, because no single ounce of its work force is wasted.

Pay 50 rupees for your school's  offline registration and you still have to wait  till Dad comes back from Goa. Offering  time in church and you still  have to go get your offering from Mom?.... I am not indicting you I just want to give you a better option, make your own money!

Why should you make your own money? 

1. You carry Some Financial Burden  

You lift a little bit of the burden of taking care of you off your parents. They don't complain but the truth is that it is at times overwhelming for them. If you made some money and stopped requesting little change, this lessens the financial burden. Channeling that into to savings can really do a lot.

What do I mean? If a man gives two of  his kids 50 rupees each to school everyday apart from snack pack that costs about 50 rupees per one. He spends 300 for upkeep of his children.

Now imagine he saves that money from the beginning of the year till the last month of the year he would have 100800 and he puts the money into a savings account. If that money compounds at 5%per annum and he keeps increasing the capital by say at least 1/2 the initial principal in a matter of years he would become a millionaire,  wala!!! Finance upgraded. It is easy to say but difficult to achieve. But difficult is not impossible. 

2. Create A Sense Of Responsibility 

When you earn the money you spend you will learn to separate your needs from your wants and to choose what you purchase from your list of needs based on level of importance or preference. 

Why do you think parents are a little strict with releasing money for wants, this is because they  have learnt to be judicious with what the little resources  they have and prioritize needs. If you start learning to be judicious with your resources  from now,  then by the time you are controlling bigger resources  you will become an unstoppable force. You can now begin to eye and buy those wants of yours. 

3. Millionaire In The Making

Learn from Hart Main to Willow Tufano to Cameron Jackson they all used a little bit of capital  and in some cases handiwork to build themselves a fortune. If you don't have a means of income  then  what do you improve  on?  Let's now  assume the business  plan you have mind is not related to the jobs available, remember  you need money to carry out your plan so get the  job. 

To have a strong finance in future or even is by making  saving and investing a priority at an early age(Teenage) . Think about  how  much you want to have saved in the future and break it down into smaller payments you can afford today. Thanks to compound interest, saving 15% of your paychecks every month starting when you get your first job could help you earn up to 10 times your income by retirement age. If you don't have a source of income then how do you get what to invest or save? 

I have been  going on and on about  why you should make money for yourself as a teenager and as a gentleman  that I am I will now give you a list of jobs you can get involved in as a teenager. 

1: A car wash attendant 
2:Babysitting 
3:A Cashier
4:Catering Coordinator
5:Dry  Cleaning  
6:Lawn Care 
7:Janitor
8:Personal  Assistant 
9:Dog  Walking 
10:Hotel  Host or Hostess. 

1. Car wash attendant

Cleaning the exterior and interior part of a car all that is require  is strength and carefulness(when washing sensitive  parts like the engine). 

2. Babysitting

Watching kids and making sure they are having fun and also being safe and that's  a lot to joggle so it requires  watchfulness, and  patience, a good sense of humour also helps. 

3. A Cashier

You work in Stores and you have to know the price of all the goods in the store and you  have got to have a good set of people skills. You are a teenager and you might have mood swings, it's time to be calm and friendly. 

4. Catering

You can learn to cook and offer catering services on the weekends. 

5. Dry Cleaning

Washing, Drying and properly ironing people's clothes. You might start with your family and friends and work your way up. 

6. Lawn Care

Mowing lawns,raking leaves, trimming hedges and other yard related tasks. 

7. Janitor

Keeping offices, schools  and buildings clean  and spotless. This might not be the most prestigious job but it pays so why not?

8. Personal Assistant

Keeping schedules  for a person and  running  errands. 

9. Hotel Host or Hostess

Welcome guests and make them feel comfortable. This requires being friendly and helpful. You might need some connections to get this kind of job. 

Now You Know

Now that you know why and how to make money as a teenager, do something about it. The teen age does  not always have to be about wearing the latest Gucci product or using the latest phones, be different, be decisive, invest in your future.

Hazard Analysis and critical control point (HACCP)
HACCP originated in the 1960?s when the National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA), the Pillsbury company and the U.S Army laboratories collaborated together to provide safe food for upcoming space expeditions. Hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) is an international food safety regulation that is followed to reduce the risk of hazards in a baking unit. It is a system that identifies possible hazards and controls them at various points of the production process.
HACCP is based on seven principles. They are
1.      Conduct a hazard analysis
Hazard are of 3 types.  
Physical - Dirt, stone
Chemical-  Pesticides from vegetables, toxins
Microbiological -  Presence of pathogenic bacteria
Evaluate the production process and identify the points where hazards (physical, chemical, biological) may be introduced.
2.      Identify critical control points(CCP?s)
CCP?s are usually   practices/procedures which, when not done correctly, are the leading causes of foodborne illness outbreaks. Examples of critical control points include cooking, cooling, reheating, holding etc.
Plan preventive measures at critical point to control the risk.
3.      Establish critical limits-  State the boundary between safe and unsafe process. State the limit until which a critical point may be controlled.
4.      Establish a monitoring system-  State the process of monitoring critical points and critical limits.
5.      Establish corrective measures- Specify the corrective actions that should be followed when critical limits are crossed.
6.      State verification procedures- State the verification process to check whether HACCP principles are applied and followed.  Test the HACCP plan and ensure compliance on a regular basis.
7.      Follow record keeping procedures- Maintain a log of situations when critical limits were exceeded. State the corrective measures that were applied.  Include records of development and maintenance of the system.
