</div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <b>Wellness (EGO) Check </b>🙌</span><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"></span></p><p>I want to start this blog by asking you to think of the moment you or someone you know was showing his/her proud moment, what appears to be a show of contentment or boasting. Now, do you agree that the headstrong are generally the ones who are fully consumed in self-worth, constantly reminding oneself and others of their greatness. Basically, the ones who are never wrong?. Today, I will tell you a way to make that assessment, a wellness check on ego. I will start with saying, it is not for me to conclude or achieve but for you to realize and give a pat on your back to keep up the excellent work or correct your path. </p><p>What do you see in common with politicians, leaders, bosses? They have the authority, show a charisma of being better than others, always have at the least one story to tell in which they are the hero/ heroine. Do you agree? This means they are expressing one of their state of mind – a sense of fulfillment or depicting their headstrong ego. Let us not forget, being humble makes us human. Most often, every one of us depicts more than one emotion of self-worth, pride, headstrong ego based on the environment or those around us. But what defines you is what is the consistent behavior you have shown. This behavior can probably be a headstrong controlling kind at home while a humble, submissive nature at work and a care-free fun-loving person in the society. So, based on this, how to assess ourselves? Simple, take up a few confronting occasions you have had in each of these environments and check how you have reacted to the situations—even confrontations in day-to-day matters like what to cook or where to eat. </p><p>It is essential to try and self-assess the pattern and reaffirm this self-assessment by talking to the ones you can trust to tell you the top three things that come to their mind about you. Be true to yourself and be open to critics here. Now this decides whether you need to reward or correct yourself. </p><p>Now, why is this important? You need a course correction if you are headstrong, showing ego that is affecting others around since the quality of a human, unlike a lonely tiger, is to live in groups, and you cannot show-off authority when there is no one around you, and this could happen to anyone of us at any point of time in life.</p><p>Power and authority should be earned and not self-proclaimed, and your ego should not be misused to control others. If this is what you are and you believe you are eternal, you are living in a fantasy. Life can turnaround in the most unexpected times and challenge you, and when it does, you may be taking your chances with the gauge of kindness left in others instead of reaping the sense of belonging and self-willing commitment that comes from others when they look up to you instead of being controlled by you.<br /></p><p>Keep your head high and not strong; the strength is in character, and respect is earned and not forced by an authority. Like a regular health check-up up as you get older, do a wellness (ego) check on your character and values to go to greater strides in life. The best wealth in life are two things, being healthy and earning people – their loyalty and trust. Both are achievable and are within you. They are free of cost and with amazing benefits. So, who is ready to take a wellness check today? I have done mine, have you?<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this blog, I wanted to put my thought around the Theory of Inclusiveness. The topic caught my mind while following the turnout of events with the recent amendment to the Indian Citizenship Act 1955, which has picked up controversies resulting in unrest across many parts of India. So what did the amendment do?. It said minority groups defined by religions other than Islam from the neighboring countries, namely Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, would be allowed citizenship in India. Now, this is striking caste-based discrimination, and politicians are on a roll, and public unrest is unsettling. Let us take a step back to Indian history and the 1947 independence. 'Bharat' the unified India and Pakistan separated into two countries with this very premise of Islamic community having its own country. It did cause riot then, and it is the history repeating itself again and again and again when religious discrimination keep taking a center stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am not going to discuss or give an opinion about the amendment; instead, I am just trying to understand why there is often such controversial decisions made. In my view, it is an outcome of thoughts linked to the human survival instinct with its fundamental shortcoming of fear. A group of individuals forms a government, and in every individual, the basic survival instinct is hard-wired since stone age. A sign of power is one of the ways human beings combat fear, as with fear comes protectionism. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What an irony that on one end there is a theory of inclusiveness preached starting from religious and countries co-existence and co-existence with nature, and on the other end there is protectionism taking many forms be it the current controversies in India, Brexit, Mexican wall, Arab springs or climate change agend. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Quomh92AFY/XgjwDkXl2cI/AAAAAAAAIbw/p1OPwBIYWak9Cb-9sppOZ3YmDGHlPgZngCEwYBhgL/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="163" data-original-width="310" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Quomh92AFY/XgjwDkXl2cI/AAAAAAAAIbw/p1OPwBIYWak9Cb-9sppOZ3YmDGHlPgZngCEwYBhgL/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let us take the classic example of climate change. The agenda that all government vow to is to combat it, and the nature is telling us in its own way, and yet every individual or government has not entirely committed themselves to it. I would say the reason why the commitment is lacking is the fear of self-oriented survival which drives protectionism. Nature is taking its revenge, which is a reality of today starting from Amazon forest fires, melting of Arctic ice, and extinction of sea-life and wild-life challenging the very ecosystem. The countries are busy fighting many wars of protectionism, while the war against nature is the war of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I believe that the theory of inclusiveness contradicts survival instincts; it is the law of nature. But, by kicking our survival instinct for the benefit of our self, and contributing our efforts to combat climate change and expanding our community across religion we lead the way for everyone to think alike and eventually the theory of inclusiveness will stand to win. We stand to win having a better world.</div>

I was viewing a short video covering this topic, "Marriages are made in heaven", and it inspired me to write this blog. <br />What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear people say to you, "Marriages are made in heaven"?. <br /><br />The first thing that comes to my mind is, married life should be a paradise because its made in heaven then, why many go through hell in their married life that eventually breaks or lies meaningless. How ironic to have hell in a life destined from heaven?.<br /><br />
I come from the land of culture and heritage, "India". In India, marriage most often happens to be arranged by family groups. It a culture where people live in family group having grandfather and great grandfather generations living under one roof or even while living physically away from each other follow a lifestyle wherein, decisions are taken or influenced by the elders in the group. Until today, most marriages are a match-making process taken up by elders in the family. This match-making is more driven by matching persons 'horoscope' (horoscope means, an astrological definition of a person and his/her fortune readings) and family status. Actually, in these conventional weddings the famous quote 'love at first sight' has its real test as two individuals are told that they are destined to each other and they force their mindset to believe it.<br /><br />In this blog, I would like to talk about these conventional weddings and the made in heaven testimony. <br /><br />
Let me start with the positive side of these conventional weddings. It is not so much of a bad idea, after all since the traditional system of the family requires co-existence within the family group and the community. And, conventional weddings are better since they have acceptance from the family group to become involved with another family group. Meaning, there is one less hurdle over adjusting/ adapting to a change that marriage will bring to one's life. The new person coming into the family will have one less hurdle in winning trust as there is a general acceptance mentality coming from people they need to live with. In this conventional way of doing things, the family tries to support a lot through difficult times. Especially when people stay in the marriage institution simply because they fear stepping out of it, they get compassion and emotional support from the family group. In a way, this is one of the reasons why divorce rates are less on a comparative scale in countries like India. <br /><br />What is marriage? In my view, marriage is a relationship wherein you get emotional, physical, and/or financial support as a human being that the law of nature has bestowed. Law of Nature gives this matrimonial relationship to a human being as a need for life to evolve. And like beautiful nature, this relationship can also be beautiful only by unconditional mutual love for the partner. This is the only way to bring balance and make it work wonders in your life. If you believe life is a quest, then you must understand that mutual unconditional love can do wonders and bring the best in you and others. <br /><br />Failing marriages happen since people have a processed mindset about marriage, which is limited to making family and living in a family culture to fit into society. They forget that the level of intimacy and understanding between life partners is one critical aspect and at the same time the life allowing the time and space for each other as a matter of a give and take respecting each other's privacy is equally important. This is when we can say, made-for-each other relationships.<br /><br />The importance of the relationship is not felt in the real sense of marriage by most individuals, more particularly in conventional weddings. The mindset of most individuals in traditional weddings is that, marriage is a process of making a family and keeping it together and once they have children then to execute the responsibility of growing them playing along with the society they belong to. So here are some challenges to keep in mind if you are getting into a conventional wedding.<br /><br />Firstly, you are introduced to a person you do not know much, and you need to accept the person for who he/she is and love that person truly from the bottom of your heart. For this, most often, you have a few months between your engagement and wedding to know the person who has been introduced to be your future life partner.<br /><br />So, the typical challenges in making the right decision to a marriage proposal are around, 'Knowledge' and 'Time' and then to cultivate the natural feeling of love which cannot be forced. In terms of knowledge, there is an added challenge. The behavior of the individual will be biased since he/she forces their best when this special relationship is forthcoming. This would mean, the natural behavior of both parties cannot be known. Despite the challenges, many individuals still opt or are made to opt for conventional weddings. <br /><br />So if you are caught in this phase of opting into a conventional wedding, decide whether you are ready for it. If you are then, spend a lot of time talking to your match if that is what he/she also wants. Take it slow to make it right well acknowledging the challenges that come with it. Make the best use of time until your wedding to decide your life. Be open and be bold to take the right decision for your life. This is not going to be easy since a lot of this is going to be driven by,<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>what people around you say. Families and friends are all going to say all the nice things only as they do not want to be the ones spoiling the show, even if there is anything negative to share. You need to read the cues keeping your mind open and balanced.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>you may also need to do some sense checks amid the biased behavior listening to your inner feeling.</li>
</ul>
Then how do you get this right?<br /><br />The first step to getting it right is to see how he/she behaves with all the people around them and not only you. Do look for opportunities for crisis or tough situations. For example, you went on a drive, and the car broke down. The spontaneous reaction and natural behavior will come out as the first set of responses. These are your chances to assess how he/she reacts to crisis and/or criticism, which tells a lot about the individual. Be conscious to make an honest opinion without getting influenced.<br /><br />Next, gauge if the thoughts are alike and opinions are relatively similar. Discuss and see how the responses are in terms of respecting your opinion and plans about life. If you have certain expectations about life and you have already made some decisions in your mind in terms of family, kids, financials etc., be honest about it. It is better to get it right than get into something and suffer later. Be aware that suffering impacts the family group and not you alone.<br /><br />Remember it is a life of partnership and both parties must acknowledge being reasonable in expectations giving room for compromises while accepting certain decisions as part of the give and take in the relationship. See if that mutual understanding is there. Do not be busy building your romantic relationship during this time. Whether the person is the right match for life in terms of understanding is more, and you have all the rest of your life for the romance to build up. Keep in mind, it is not an overnight thing. The natural sense of belonging gets built over time when the other person makes you feel that way.<br /><br />Now, once you decide to get committed into the relationship, always remember that it is this relationship that is going to come with you until the end of your life. So, make an effort to make it work since others, including your kids will eventually move-on and it is this life partner of yours who is going to be with you through your old age. He/she is going to share your burdens and your joy. <br /><br />Once in the relationship, to make this partner your source of joy or stress is up to you. If you will treat him/her to offload your stressful day assuming that the role is meant for that, sorry, you are wrong. All the elements/people that caused your stress are not the ones who are going to travel the long journey of life. It is your life partner who will be doing that provided you make the travel easy. If you will offload your rough day showing anger and frustration at him/her, you will have the reflection of it coming back to you at the same time or the accumulation of it coming back at hitting at you at some time. Agreed, that one can argue home is the only place that he/she can be original and can offload their stress. As a life partner, the expectation is to have an understanding of the same and not become another source of stress. Yes, it is a fair expectation, and you do have to have your moments of offloading, but, keep in mind that your partner may also be in the same state of mind. The outcome would be, either you made your partner cry, or you both had an exchange of argument. Also, what did you do after your offload moments are over? Here the critical question is, did you hold on to this offload moments for too long or you made an effort to make up for the happenings. Did you also add a touch of romance to make the person feel special. Basically you can say you love your husband/wife so deeply, but what is important is whether your spouse felt loved. Saying or you believing does not mean that your partner is feeling the same about you. Do often ask your partner how to improve the relationship and make a conscious effort. Do not have ego nor any reservations.Try to overcome both and develop understanding and intimacy.<br /><br />Now how to gauge and nurture valuable relationship?<br /><br />The mind is the most complex part of we human since it manages our thoughts. Have you ever felt or thought of things that you do not want to say aloud because you feel disturbed/ angered/dumb/ ashamed. Are there thoughts that you even refrain your mind from thinking, simply because it causes so much discomfort. Has it occurred that, when others raise a subject, or something reminds you of it, your emotions flood to you in terms of sadness or anger and frustrates you? Will you be comfortable sharing such an experience of yours without apprehensions to your life partner? Can you open up your heart and pour it out? If your answers are yes, then its a cherished relationship working at its best.<br /><br />You are blessed to have your mirror image in that other person and never let go of this relationship for your lifetime. Value it and give time and effort to nurture it because you will eventually get old and will have so much more time at your disposal. You need your fully understanding life partner more and more as you reach that zone.<br /><br />I conclude by saying, conventional weddings can also work, and marriages are made in heaven if you make it paradise. Have a happy life by cherishing your relationship since you live this life once and every past moment is just a memory and it is upto you to make it pleasant for yourself and the ones around you.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
blog I dedicate to all the stress in this world. I am putting it this way
because, it is a stressed world and the magnitude of stress handled is the
unsaid performance indicator, both in the corporate world and in day-to-day
life and relationships. Think deep and delve into my last sentence again, and
this time more consciously. Does it make you realise how true and get a sense
of how real it is in your life? If you still didn't get it, let me explain
more. In the corporate world, the busier you are, you are considered important
and indispensable. I do not want to get into the controversies of resources who
fake a busy schedule and do not deliver results. These, I call the 'Blamers'.
They look busy, talk a lot in self-defense and are very generous to blame
everything other than themselves. Leaving the exceptions out, I do want to
include the ones who I call the 'Do-ers', personified as the ones who are so
busy delivering work but differ from the ones I would call the 'Go-getters' who
are busy and getting it all done. The difference between the two is simply, the
Go-getters manage the Do-ers and are most often regarded high-performers.
Whether you are a Do-er or a Go-getter, your life is defined by a busy schedule
in which your to-do list never comes to an end on the same day. While you are
making conversions, there are often times when you are physically present while
your mind is tasking the next set of things to be done and is rehearsing the
day ahead by every minute and hour. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
busier you get and the multitude of things you handle coupled with your
personal responsibilities and commitments that clash in and out of your
schedule causes, 'Stress'. How you are as a person defines how well you have
coped with stress." - This statement is true and you can test it on
yourself or by thinking about an individual who best fits the descriptions
below:</span></div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">you have forgotten to pay your
bills on time at least ones during the month.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">you have missed more than one
important family event/gathering/commitment during the month.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">your close circle of family or
friend often comment that you are never available for them.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">at work in a month, you miss
deadlines at least ones or in-order to meet the deadline you have
compromised something very important to you. Could be your birthday,
anniversary, medical appointment, etc.,</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">you lose your temper often
and/or show it by irrational behaviors at least ones in a day. Like,
shouting unreasonably at someone who works under you; driving fast to
catch-up on time; constantly on phone while driving and trying to justify
that you are working smart by having wireless/hands-free calls; </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">you start to have health
issues, maybe hypertension/insomnia, etc.,</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">your sleep and eating pattern
is disturbed. You either sleep less or more; your eating pattern is more
finger/junk food.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">you addicted to at least one
thing, say smoking/coffee/soda.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
you meet all or half the above, you will soon reach a point when you will feel completely
burnt out. Mostly, it is at this breach point that you think of change. A
change to food or exercise or bigger changes in terms of changing a job or
relationship. Then, you again get back in the race of getting stressed until
you reach the next breach point. An endless vicious cycle that keeps repeating
itself until you retire one day or health forces you to retire. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But
if this the cycle that most human follow and the expectation is set for it be
normal to be stressed why do we complain or reach breech points. A routine
lifestyle should ideally get us used to it, why do we struggle with it?
Why do we keep hearing, stress management, and how stress has harmful effects
on the human body and ways to handle it?. why do we want to handle stress
in a special way?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Most
persons fitting the above descriptions were closed to burn out state and I
often heard them say, 'to handle stress is better said than done'.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now
comes my view on this. Do not try to handle stress. You will never succeed.
What I believe is in embracing it. Change your perception to it. You are not
under stress but you are just genuinely busy simply trying to do at least 48-hour
work in 8 - 24 hours. The way you set your bar defines your capacity and
limitations to being a Do-er/ Go-getter. To cope with your busy schedule you
need to have an acutely sharp brain that processes, delegates and carves out
the quick ways to achieve your end result in less time. To be able to make more
time, amend your lifestyle if needed. What you will not compromise is getting a
personal time to yourself. At least an hour in a weekday even if it is short
breaks that make up an hour of your awake time and a few hours over weekends.
This personal time you use wisely since its the most precious. Do what you like
to do in your personal time, being happy gives a sense of self-satisfaction
that boosts your energy. But this solves only half the problem. The main
problem is on how your mind perceives about what you are doing. If your mind
perceives that you are depressed, dis-satisfied, humiliated or simply unhappy,
this is the matter of concern to be addressed by you. This thought is what
causes stress. Then everything that you do seems/ gets difficult. During such
times, be bold enough to accept it and listen to your intuitions tell you as the
right thing to do. Be bold enough to do what your mind is telling you as the
right thing to do. You may not always get your expected outcomes. But, have you
been always right otherwise. Following your voice will build an energy force in
you to get better at things. So, make sure to listen to yourself. There is a
widely stressed world that gets you busy, directs you to dance to its tunes and
the best way to conquer is with your own mind. Listen to yourself. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In August
2016, I took a small step <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">toward</span> making
my wish come true. I went to my first volunteering experience and how it all
happened feels like a dream. I just came back from my holiday this year and but this one was the most memorable one, that I wish to recollect and re-live it. I went to 'Chiang Rai', a pleasant city o<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">n</span> the northern side of Thailand. Since my daughter wanted to join
me in this experience, I decided to make the trip more interesting.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I wanted
her to <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">realise</span> the value of life and
experience the sense of gratitude for this life.</span> </span><u><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I believe, money
can give you <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">short-term</span> pleasure and
thrill, while an act of service gives you the ultimate sense of satisfaction
and achievement. </span></span></b></u><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><u><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span>One must do it to experience it.</span></b></u> So, I wanted her to experience this so, I told her that, she will live the life of luxury for the first 5 days
followed by two weeks of living the most basic life while being able to carry out service for others. She agreed.</span></div>

We had a chef
who offered to make what we want to eat. The journey was plush and comfortable,
thanks to Etihad Airways for our wonderful flying experience. We enjoyed <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">our stay</span> in Bangkok, the perfect destination which met all needs starting from wonderful
places to visit, authentic Thai cuisine and relaxing spas. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loved our visit to the magnificent Golden
Buddha temple, the unique floating market, the historic Golden Triangle and the spectacular Siam Niramat show depicting their culture in a colorful
performance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On day 5 we took our flight to Chaing Rai for
our two-week volunteering experience. At the airport, we
were received by the representative from, The Mirror <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">Foundation, affiliated to International Volunteering Head Quarters (IVHQ). O</span>ur experience started with joining other volunteers
arriving from <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">different</span> parts of the world. We buckled up in a tempo traveling through the city and
then onto muddy roads that <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">stretch</span> into
the outskirts to reach our accommodation. </span></div>

common dining area, cleaning area, honesty store, followed by instructions on our stay and volunteering. The instructions were fairly simple. We need to keep our place clean, share the responsibility with other volunteers to keep the common area
including the toilets clean, clean our dishes and most importantly prepare our daily lessons and teach in schools/college in the neighborhood.</span><br />

Based on the learning outcomes to be achieved we put together the learning materials including,
quiz, display board, charts, <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">flashcards as needed. This would include, preparing some learning material if it's not already available.</span> Each day, we take our classes in different
schools for different grades as planned. In the evening, the day would finish after updating in the system on how we conducted the class, what materials were used, how the students performed and whether the learning outcomes were met.</span><br />

Agriculture and Technology. We worked alongside the lecturers to deliver
an English Speaking Camp for college students. The learning outcome was
to help students to communicate in English. The enthusiasm of the students
and teachers got us fully involved and made it a grand success. <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kpubSIomrco/W3fS72h5wQI/AAAAAAAAAzw/kipI-Amiih49t5gtbtV5qie_t3K7YhbIwCLcBGAs/s1600/P1020249%2B-%2BCopy%2B-%2BCopy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kpubSIomrco/W3fS72h5wQI/AAAAAAAAAzw/kipI-Amiih49t5gtbtV5qie_t3K7YhbIwCLcBGAs/s200/P1020249%2B-%2BCopy%2B-%2BCopy.JPG" width="200" /></a>We built scenarios around how easy or difficult negotiations can be in simple interactions like, calling and booking for air tickets/
hotel reservations and making changes to bookings. We also got some role play on job interviews.<br />
<br />
My takeaway from this experience was the holistic learning experience the
schools and the college offered. Student involved themselves in the day-to-day
chores starting from cleaning to cooking. And, we saw that the education
system allowed special need children to be part of the mainstream. The
country also showed no gender disparity as male, female and transgender
were treated equally and studied together helping each other and taking
caring of each other. <br />
<br />
It was the most amazing holiday and what made it special was the volunteering experience. To top it all, my daughter who was accepted to be part of our team to conduct the workshop for college students and was honored with a certificate for volunteering. At the age of 14, she received the certificate as 'English Lecturer' and that too, on her birthday, amid over 100 college students participating in the workshop. The best birthday gift that we cherish to date.<br />
<br />
It was the most fulfilling holiday experience and look forward to the next opportunity to volunteer. Now, the next time you plan your holiday, do consider adding a service action to it and experience for yourself the sense of fulfillment. I can assure you that, you will call it the most memorable holiday like me. </div>

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oQ4kqb1814s/Wp3muVoHttI/AAAAAAAAAv8/AqbkCfdQtkcLT_AHpxET-IlKOt0W-PMCACLcBGAs/s1600/Happiness%2BDay.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="906" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oQ4kqb1814s/Wp3muVoHttI/AAAAAAAAAv8/AqbkCfdQtkcLT_AHpxET-IlKOt0W-PMCACLcBGAs/s400/Happiness%2BDay.png" width="400" /></a> <br />
International Day of Happiness is coming and I have been pondering over the question on, <b>'what brings happiness?'</b>. A highly subjective question considering that, getting the password right at the last attempt of losing a forgotten email account also brings a spontaneous smile and a sense of achievement. Not to mention, words of appreciation at home or work and recognition of efforts are key factors that bring happiness and result in an automatic boost in efforts. Have you experienced that?<br />
<br />
We have all heard of the <b>Carrot and Stick Approach </b>to motivating employees. The right expression being, <b>Carrot</b> for <b>Reward</b> and <b>Stick</b> for <b>Non-Compliance</b> implying that, 'Stick' is not an approach by itself but a set of consequences you make employees aware of. However, a lot of times it gets misunderstood whereby Stick is used as an approach to extract delivery and this often results in retaliating employees, labor problems and ultimate drop in productivity. Basically, employees are not happy and they show it at work.<br />
<br />
That concludes, productivity implies more Carrots or in other words keeping people happy. While awards, appreciations and promotions are direct recognition of efforts, to have consistent productivity, organisations should keep their employees <u><b>Happy</b></u>. Hence, the importance of this goes beyond a robust appraisal system and fridge benefits under employee welfare initiates.<br />
<br />
How many organisation measure their 'Employee Happiness Index'? as first step to ensuring a happy work place. Its time they see because, the world sees Happiness Measure to be critical.<br />
<br />
Bhutan measure its country progress not by Gross Domestic Product but by Gross National Happiness and the country today stands out to be a Climate Change Agent when Paris still tries to keep the collaborative efforts of all participating countries to the Change Initiative. OECD had their first meeting in 2012 to measure World Happiness Index by country and since then there has been five World Happiness Reports rating 155 countries. The importance of this measure is more and more understood by countries as evident from, UAE taking the Happiness Initiative over an entire year in 2017.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
There are some interesting takeaways on how the subject has evolved since 2012 to date in measuring world happiness and that they can/should be extended to organisational level. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
The OECD (2013, p.10) Guidelines on Measuring of Subjective Well-being says, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Well-being is <b><u><i>"Good mental states, including all of the various evaluations, positive and negative, that people make of their lives and the affective reactions of people to their experiences." </i></u></b>and identifies this by three major<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> elements: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">1.Life evaluation —a reflective assessment on a person’s life or some specific aspect of it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">3.Eudaimonia —a sense of meaning and purpose in life, or good psychological functioning.”</span></div>
<br />
They have attempted to measure this by adopting 'Well Being Survey' where questions are posted to the population and data are collected even at daily tracking level to summarise happiness. The methodology applied being survey questions rated over a 0-10 rating scale to measure aspects like, life evaluation covering, happiness, anger and depression, health aspects, aspirations, how people see themselves today and 5 years from thereon.<br />
<br />
When countries economic progress depends on productivity which has to come from contribution by people, it is the organisations where 'Happiness' has to first emerge. Food for thought: I conclude this blog asking, How many organisations are going to measure the Happiness Index on the coming International Day of Happiness 20 March 2018.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A change can be positive or negative. While a positive change is looked forward to, anything negative invites, resistance and/or reluctance as the immediate reaction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Body, Mind, and Soul are the strong three elements that makes you what you are and each of it takes its time to accustom to a change.<br />
<br />
Body – For your body, something as simple as a change in diet would mean, your body will take time to adjust to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Mind - Everything is so connected to your mind including changes to your body and your mind is tuned to alert change. A mind has been programmed to trigger every part of you to the fact of change asking you to assess how to take it, beneficial or not. It is when the mind concludes or accustoms itself, an acceptance comes. This can be mere acceptance or the mind changing course to react to the change sadly apprehensively or aggressively. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Soul – This is the most powerful of the three elements. And even for the soul, a change is something new to be assessed for the benefit. A soul is the inner being which is a universe by itself and if I delve into it, this blog will take a spiritual direction. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, for now, let us limit ourselves to the fact that, <b><u>we take time to accept a change.</u> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In a way, w</span>e actually forget how to adapt to change as we grow older and our little kids are actually more experienced to handle situations of change better than us. I would say, the small children are our teachers in reminding us on how to react to change. In a simple scenario of a nursery child changing school, the child is full of energy and goes without any apprehensions getting ready for something new. If the same child was to change school after he/she grows, the reaction could probably be of, “Sadness” say for losing friends or “Fear” of acceptance or “Frustration” of physical or mental discomfort. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Basically, as we grow older our “Mind” tends to send more caution signals instead of signals of excitement. Eventually, it starts predicting the outcomes to change. This is also due to the fact that, experiences gained over time makes the mind to build expectation over every change and with expectations comes the fear of failure or disappointment. All the excitement of getting something new for the little child in us was because of how the little mind does not conclude an outcome and it only welcomes the idea of something new. So the key here is, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>predicting an outcome </u></b>and that too to be a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>negative outcome</u></b> is an unhealthy way of making our Three Elements receive a Change. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Does this mean, we should be happy to receive each and every change? Let us say, an accident caused a temporary disability to walk. Even this is a change. Can this be received happily? of course, it cannot be. This situation is sad, however, the reality is that the situation is real and the person needs to have the ability to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>embrace the change</u></b>. So what do we mean here to embrace a change? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It is fairly simple,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step 1 – Acknowledge the fact of change: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have the reality check to acknowledge a change. While the example of an accident is having a physical impact, acknowledgment is automatic. However, in most situations that impact the emotional state, the human mind first resists to the change and lacks acknowledgment. Instead, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>mind attempts to avoid the thought of it and the more it avoids the more it thinks and gets stressed. So eventually all the Three Elements are stressed</u></b>. So the obvious first step is to acknowledge a change. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step 2 - Assess the change: </b><br />
Once the mind acknowledges it is already programmed by the Law of Nature to assess the consequences of the change. The only issue here is that, if the acknowledgment was a stressful process and the mind has taken a long time over it, then, it has experienced negative emotions and as a result, it would predict negative outcomes as part of its assessment to change. Hence, take your Step 2 with a caution that your mind is under influence of stress or has been impacted by stress. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An important way of embracing a change is to free the mind of stress by reiterating the acknowledgment to change and to enable the mind to assess what the change brings with it as an experience for the three elements. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>The measure to assessing a change is not by predicting negative outcomes but by evaluating the benefits and challenges it brings along to the body, mind and/or soul</u></b>. List down all the benefits and the challenges the change brings to make a healthy assessment of the change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step 3 – Design the Managing Strategy</b><b>:</b><br />
Once you have listed down the benefits and challenges its time to decide how you want to manage the change. I would not call it an acceptance to change here. Managing does not mean you must endure the pain of a change to your three elements. Let us say, your body shows signs of illness with the change in diet. You will continue it? No. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, a life-changing situation is causing emotional pain, you want to endure it? No. But there is a level of acceptance to the change that is happening that you must prepare your body, mind, and soul for. Because, if it’s a diet you volunteered yourself for then you can change it. But if you have been mandated for your health reasons, you need to take the diet even if you do not like it. Hence designing a strategy for managing the change is your step towards embracing it. Develop a strategy for managing the change and your key here is that, your three elements should not suffer. Build some level of acceptance to the change and also try and find alternative ways of managing that makes your three elements generate more positive energy and gives a sense of satisfaction. That is the key to how you approach managing the change. At the end of each day when you go through a change circumstance make a self-assessment of your day. For what went wrong, just get your learning out of it and do not carry any sense of hurt or guilt or discomfort. Keep your thoughts and intent positive and to the benefit of your body, mind, and soul and do not allow for negative emotions to affect the health of your body, mind, and soul. This is the managing strategy that will bring ultimate success. It does not matter if you are running last in the race because what matters is who comes first in the end. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Step 4 – Act or React:</b><br />
The strategy guides your mind, body, and soul on how to act or react to the change and if you have done your Step 1 to Step 3 right, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>you would act or react to a change in the most positive way </u></b>which gives your three elements excitement and/or contentment. You have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Embraced the Change</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This approach can be applied, be it a life-changing circumstance you have volunteered for or have been forced into. In the end, it is all about how you embrace it into your life. Keep in mind, the human knows his capacity the most when life challenges him/her and your performance is measured by how you embraced it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u5NGwkJ1MOo/WY3l5aOyY4I/AAAAAAAAAsI/2nMRsrT7j8oAK-gdsZSHDYCZWCK9ZHm7gCLcBGAs/s1600/Live-In-The-Moment.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="785" height="230" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u5NGwkJ1MOo/WY3l5aOyY4I/AAAAAAAAAsI/2nMRsrT7j8oAK-gdsZSHDYCZWCK9ZHm7gCLcBGAs/s320/Live-In-The-Moment.gif" title="Moment we have is here and now?Really?" width="320" /></a></div>
Live for the Moment! While this can be said not often done. It depends on the what stage your life has set for you right now. When you are so busy chasing your routine, be it job, relationship, kids, finances, mortgages and more, you never think much. In fact, you do not have time to think. Then something changes and it affects your routine. It can be anything as small as a need to shift to a new apartment or as big as job loss or relationship issues. your life takes a jolt and you are affected.<br />
<br />
Now, how much do you get affected? Depending on how important the issue that concerns you is, you get affected.<br />
<br />
You could be just showing a grumpy face around or you could express your mood swings to people around you . You could even get to level of having rude interactions with known and unknown people who cross your way during that time. Your behavior continues until your problem is solved. Did you realise, eventually, you have created more problems than you can imagine during this time when you have been purely focused on solving that one issue that has significantly impacted your mind?.<br />
<br />
You have probably annoyed your partner/kids and given them a bunch of bad memories to carry for the rest of their lives. You have probably ruined the mood of people who you interacted with is causing the same cyclical effect as yours and spreading so quickly. I come to think of a metaphor here, which is the flu called 'Common Cold'. The one that is absolutely annoying, spreads so quickly, and people refrain from coming near you. This is exactly the similar situation you create with your expression and interaction if you allow your problems to reflect your behavior.<br />
<br />
Do you know the irony here, in a lot of times, the issues around you are so much beyond your control that there is very little you can do. If you take a moment to think the last time you were under crisis/problem that was resolved subsequently, and your actions and reactions during that time, you can understand me clearly. And, let me tell you, during that time, you had two choices. Either to create more problems or just allow the storm to pass without causing further damages or fresh problems.<br />
<br />
Its quiet rightly said, 'Live for the Moment'. No matter what stage of life you are in, what are the problems (small/big) you have. Allow that storm to settle on its own. Get familiar with your situation, do not create an aversion to it. Learn to let the issue park itself somewhere around your life which you acknowledge and would give your best effort, BUT, you LIVE THE CURRENT MOMENT.<br />
<br />
Be happy especially when you are in interaction with people or any of natures beautiful creations. Learn to be light. When this Life is over, these precious moments are also gone. You can choose to keep thinking of things that bother you and lose these precious moments or live in the moment and capture a memory. And, by the way, unknowingly you are adding something here. You are not spreading 'Common Cold' and instead, you are spreading more smiles into others life as much as you add to your own.<br />
<br />
I know, it is easier said than done, but, 'give it a try'. Since you actually tend to gain by trying.

Such a classic example of prejudice at work is, if your mind has thought about love and relationship as the discussion for this blog. But, hold your thoughts right there. This blog is to discuss 'Pride and Prejudice' in our day to day lives with non-intimate relationships. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I use the term 'Pride' it can mean different to different individuals. It can mean 'self esteem', but it can also mean 'ego' and 'arrogance'. It can mean 'self respect', but can also mean 'self importance'. Intimate relationships are most often intertwined with this crown jewel partners, 'Pride' and 'Prejudice' and this blog is about non-intimate relationships and their behaviors while this ardent pair of 'Pride and Prejudice' show themself up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As humans we always judge other humans. It is part of our behavior to do so. Now, just think of an individual you like the most and the one you hate the most. What is the immediate thing that comes to your mind about their pride? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most common thought,</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
"That gentle man, a one to be respected" or "That guy, an absolute egoist" </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
"That Lady! what a fine, women" or "That Lady! such an arrogant individual"</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, what you just did is an assessment of their 'Pride' which is 'Prejudiced' by your judgement.<br />
<br />
My dear reader, please take a moment to read and experiment this again by imaging two individuals who currently impact your life the most. It could be your boss or your next door neighbor, your trainer or your teacher. It could be anyone. Once you experiment your view about them, just delve over what you just did. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<i>(Once you have done your experiment....read on....)</i><br />
<i></i><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, I repeat myself. What you just did is an assessment of their 'Pride' which is 'Prejudiced' by your judgement. A judgement that is formed based on your interactions life offered under various circumstances. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What just happened is that, your pattern of experience brought up an interpretation of the individual to you. An assessment of the individual's pride that is prejudiced your judgement. And most often, once a judgment is made you do not change it. In other words, this is why, an individual is often seen to behave different with different people. Sometimes, you want to change the way things work with an individual. Your mind tends to ask you, why things always go wrong with this individual? And sometimes, you want to change the way it works. It is not with everyone you meet and have to interact that you want to change the way it works. It is not with the ones that you want to continue your interactions with. So, if its your trainer, you can ask for a different one. Just in case it is your boss? its probably an interaction that you want to go right. If it does not work and if your mind has already given up then your options are limited. Either of you should get a job change. But, before you give up, how much have your tried? If you feel you want to give another try, and even if your answer is a 'may be', then, all you need is a change in perspective. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You must clear your mind of all your judgements about the individual at this moment. Then, when you are ready, see if you can change your perception. This may not be easy in the beginning, since you have already established a pattern of interaction and the routine of hate or like approach has already been set with the individual. However its worth the try if you can erase your judgement and do not take it personally on your own pride. Your experiences so far with the individual is your strength of information to understand the individual(s) behavioral pattern. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If ever in your career you carried a perception that, 'anything I do, my boss will complain so why waste my time and effort' and this had developed into your routine, you would have started failing in your performance appraisals. In such cases, most often your opinion of your boss is that, he/she is forever complaining and never satisfied. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to bring a little change in perspective here. Can we say that, you may have prejudiced your judgement based on your experience pattern to assess the 'pride' of your boss. Once that is done, that moment you signed up for your failure because, everything else is a vicious circle of events impacted with frustrations, loss of trust and underperformance. While these establish a pattern of failure events the resultant is that, one day you tend to change your job or may be even tend to lose your job. Here, you can question to say that, your judgement of your boss is also the general perception among your peers. But, simply because everyone thinks in the same way does not mean it has to be true?. For argument sake even if it is true, why did you allow your professionalism to be compromised simply because your boss is a jerk? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it is easier said than done to be self motivated, it is important to remember that, you should not fail because of another individual(s) behavior or their perception about you. Success comes to the one who fights all odds with dedication and commitment. To be successful is up to you and you cannot blame it on others. The simple truth here is, it is your own pride and prejudice that can cause your failure. Learn from your failure and be mindful of your pride and do not prejudice your mind of others pride. Stay committed and achieve success. </div>

How often has there been times when you feel like you are in
a limbo and your future looks bleak? Most often this happens when one gets to a
moment of distress in life, be it a job failure, a love failure, loss of most
beloved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever be the situation, the
consequence is often a ‘<b>Limbo</b>’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
obvious symptoms are, </div>

question in the mind of, ‘why me?’;</li>

</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you overdose yourself, you
show it out and people start talking about you and also start advising you with their views.
Advice would most often include a complete analysis from their perspective making you feel criticized, often making you worse given your situation. If you reach a point when your distress drives you off your
limits, you retaliate in many ways including, anger, aggression and actions
that hurt others or your own self. During such times, you really need someone beside you, but you also do not let anyone beside
you, simply by your rude and confusing behaviors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This my friend, is the time you
can identify that you have breached your virtual tolerance limits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this is also the time you sit back and
think what you really need in life. What you are ready to give up and what you
cannot compromise. Make your choices wisely within the limitations of what is
available as choices. You cannot always get all that you ask for since everyone
need to have their share of choices. Always keep in mind you cannot make
everyone happy and every situation cannot be to your favor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The golden principle here is, negative emotions, ego, aggression
and revenge are no good deeds as it takes a lot more effort and causes misery
that will soon reverse on you. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
and it is just a matter of time. It takes ten times more efforts to show anger
as against showing a smile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not
easy to stay calm and positive during tough times, but that is the best you
could do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Always, time is a best healer and
it finds its own way of healing you and everyone around you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although it is easier said than done, this is
the Law of Nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do what you think is
the right thing to do having the maturity to think wisely without anger, aggression or revenge being any of your
motives. The Limbo state, is really when you realise your strength and ability completely. So be positive and spread positive attitude around you. Because, this is what makes you a complete human being, who is '<b>Human</b>'. </div>

<b> </b><i>Well said, but Jacks of old times did not see job crisis as todays' world - 'Lost my Job' is what is so often heard now.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
It is a Tech-World which has increased our reach and exposure so much. Gadgets rule our life, starting from calories we eat to what we burn with each step. 'Ask Google' even becomes medial practitioner for most common diseases and home remedies. A study says, in this new world of Apps and Gadgets one takes the mobile a minimum of 70 times in a day. Information Technology has changed our lives but has also fast paced it. It brought a paradigm shift to doing business. While it brought new jobs it is changed the profile of many profession and further more has made many redundant. Internet brought us so close to do business that geographical distances does not really matter for most aspects of things. Hence came BPOs and Call Centers and the boom of online shopping market, changing the whole dynamics to trade. Shops have moved to online market, bank branches reduced to online banking system.<br />
<br />
How many of us will remember calling Agents to carryout bank transactions, Brokers to buy or sell shares and Consultants to file Income Tax Returns. In this online era, anything straightforward is in the Click of a button and we all have eventually become, '<u><b>Jack of All Trades'.</b></u> We look out only for experts who masters in what they do. While surfing the net, an interesting read caught my eye. The study was about future redundancies to some professions. One such profession that interested me was "Lawyers". The study said, we will need far less number of lawyers since google will start giving legal advice upto 90% accuracy. Does that mean, one needs to think twice before taking up a law course, absolutely not. All it tells us is that in every profession we are moving towards 'specialisation'.<br />
<br />
The key is, Are you the expert in what you do? That is what matters.<br />
<br />
While 'Lawyer' quoted here is one such example, the message today is, bid adieu to the old and most believed saying, <b>'Jack of all trades and Master of none'</b>. the new saying would be, <b>'Strive to be the Master because its just not enough to be just Jack'</b>. <br />
<br />
Keep in mind, this 'Strive' will be a continuous process because your status as the 'Master' will be continuously challenged by frequently changing
technology, dynamic economies and businesses including early redundancies to
methods adopted and changing laws and regulations.<br />
<br />
Today, we so often hear about organisation restructuring, job cuts and downsizing of business, across all fields, economies, countries. Tomorrow it could come to you? How prepared are you? Or are you the one who thinks you are at your best and it cannot happen to you? Well, may be its time to think this way, 'What if it happens to me?' What are my dependencies and am I prepared for the worst?.<br />
<br />
So, afterall it is <u><b>Survival is for the Fittest </b></u>and the fittest here is one who is savvy of the fact that change is constant and tomorrow the worst can happen and be prepared for the worst. Now, how can one be prepared, some key takeaways:<br />
<br />
1. Never take your job for granted. Always thrive to find new and innovative ways of doing things and delivering your best. Afterall you are doing this for your own good to be the best always and not to benefit anyone else. Your employer eventually gains and mutually you grow. If you are not recognised, do not get dejected, because what you do is for your own learning and in your own strive to be the best.<br />
<br />
2. Never take big financial commitments. This does not mean you do not take any loans or take investment decisions. It is just the word of caution here. Do make sure you can repay your financial commitments even if the worst happens. Example, is your end of services is good enough to bail you out of your financial commitment, if the worst happens. Then go for it.<br />
<br />
3. Simply because you need to keep your job, don't become a servant to your employer, then you stop learning. Probably, when you feel that way, it is time to change your career or look for other opportunities. Keep in mind, in this tough job market, you may fail many times, but do not stop trying.<br />
<br />
4. In moments of frustration, never get impulsive to leave your job even when the time goes adverse. During such times, try to diversify. Probably its good to advance your professional qualifications, improve certifications and get your self prepared for newer opportunities. Keep looking for the right one while you delivery your commitment to your current job.<br />
<br />
5. When opportunity knocks at your door, grab it. While you choose an opportunity, do not see how much it pays first. Salary is key but, that is not the first thing. The first thing to see
is if it will let you strive to be your best and will you be getting
the opportunity to learn and last but not least, do you like what you
are doing. <br />
<br />
Lastly, if unfortunately, the worst hits, never give up. <u><b>Survival is for the Fittest. </b> </u><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This blog is to just to share a
few thoughts to be able to identify an abusive relationship with your partner
or spouse and when you are in one how to recognize and console your emotional
self. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What is an abusive relationship?
If you feel extensively controlled, exploited and the aspect of care or live is
not unconditional but for a price of you fulfilling something and the
relationship is often driven by fear or discomfort that you always give up your
freedom to maintain harmony, most likely you are in an abusive relationship. As we go along, this blog will elaborate more
on abusive relationship, help you self-assess if you are in one and give some
insights on what to expect from such relationship. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, before you read this blog,
just take a moment to think how your relationship with your spouse/partner is? If you are in a mediocre relationship, please
stop reading from here-on to avoid confusing your mind trying to relate your
real life experiences to this one and developing suspicion in your mind which
will eventually lead to a strain to your relationship. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have already identified
yourself to be in an abusive relationship, my personal advice is to end that
relationship and move-on. However, it is
easier said than done. You may be
forcing yourself to stay due to family reasons, financial reasons and/or
emotional reasons. So if you choose to
stay on in an abusive relationship, keep in mind, you always have the right to
change your mind even if you are not currently in a situation to quit. Always, take your time to decide but one word
of wisdom here. Should you decide to
stay in an abusive relationship do not stay in it believing that your partner
will change. Change is unlikely, because an abuser is just a normal human being
just like you. He/she chooses to be abusive
in the relationship with you but as an individual he/she is not an abnormal
personality or inhuman. If he/she is
aggressive with you but justifies that you provoked or that they are short
tempered, it is an invalid argument. Anger
and aggression are voluntary behavior and are controllable if they choose to.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To think more wisely on this, let
us first talk some basics to assessing your relationship. Signs of a healthy relationship is best
defined by the freedom enjoyed in the company of the partner and whether such
feeling is mutual. The basic premise of
a healthy relation lies on giving up ego mutually and the compromise done
mutually. It is all about making constant
effort to keep the relationship strongly bonded by unconditional love and
trust. Never let ego or suspension takeover
and cause damage to your relationship. Words
misused and actions that caused physical or emotional harm have lasting effect
and makes the relationship struggle in blame games. Keep in mind, prolonged discomfort or abuse
has a lasting effect and extremely negative consequences to self and others
around. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is often very complex to
decide if a relationship is abusive. In
my view, if you feel extremely comfortable and have freedom of thought, action
and mind and you are not treated like a child by your partner, then you are probably
not in an abusive relationship. And the
health barometer to assess the relation is based on the experience that life
and time had given you and your opinion on how the individual had reacted to
situations that involves you. Does the
accumulated experience over time give you an overall satisfaction about being
in that relationship and do you feel loved and cared? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You are the best judge and do not
let the current phase of life or state of mind prejudice your judgement. Take time to think through your life and
analyse your experiences as an independent person. It is hard but not impossible. Try to answer some questions to help you
through your assessment,</span></span></div>

</span>Have you been physically harmed? <i>Physical harm needn’t necessarily mean that
you are beaten up or slapped. It could
also be in the form of pinching you, unknowingly tripping you while you can
sense that it was intentional. It can
also be like, doing things in such a way that leaves a feeling of low
self-esteem about yourself. For example,
throwing a pen or any other thing you asked for instead of giving in your hand
and frequent instance were the gestures and/or body language leaves a feeling
of ill-treatment and a sense of negative impact on your self-esteem</i>.</span></span></div>

</span>Have you
often tried to look at others in similar relationship and their issues
to try and convince yourself that your relationships is normal simply because
of what others tell you and simply because the situations are comparable to
that of others? <i>While, drawing references from others experiences be it friends or
relative is certainly a good way of being able to understand and deal with
ongoing relationship, however, it doesn’t apply to an abusive relationship.</i> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you can relate to most of the
above, it is highly likely that you are in an abusive relationship. And if you
have been in an abusive relationship for a prolonged period of time, you would
have come across many occasions of breakage in the past and you can well
recollect that attempts to reconnect only ended up in abusing you more. There could have been occasions were the
abusive partner claims that they love you, they need you and they cannot lead
life without you. Just because of the
nature of relationship, you may have had to trust it. However it may happens
that such claims were only to get you back in the relationship and once
convinced of regaining control over you, they will again start their abusive
behavior. This way, every time you
choose to end the relationship, they will find a way of getting you back into
it and the demand will always put you in a helpless situation.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The basic trait of an abuser can
be best explained as, the one who will never accept his/her abuse. This is largely because they do not see it as
an abuse. They believe, you are born for
them and get so possessive about you. They
force and control you intentionally although they will not be explicit about it
and they will make the situations circumstantial so that you do not blame them
of force or control. They will always
justify their act and it will look normal to the rest of the world and you may suddenly
feel if something has gone wrong with your mind and you may feel helpless while
it is your one voice that is challenging a crowd. You are not alone if you feel this way and
remember, it is you who feel abused and others have not experienced your pain
to understand it. So it will always be
well beyond their capacity to think. They
will always try to convince you to stay in a relationship because nobody likes
breakage. They forget that, just like
them you would not generally like breakage.
After all if someone known to you is in a similar situation, despite
your state, you may still try to justify him/her to stay in their relationship
by confronting that the situations are not similar and that the person should
think twice before breaking a relationship. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keep in mind, it is you who know
what you have gone through and what you want and there is no need to justify
your actions to everyone. If you have
already realized that you are in an abusive relationship but you are working
hard to change it, a word of caution here, you may not be successful in
bringing a change. An abuser is a normal
human being and he/she has chosen to be abusive in the relationship with
you. It implies, he/she will be normal
to the rest of the world and most often the rest of the world will not even
know that he/she is abusing you. If you choose
to discuss your personal life with others, your status will be generalized with
their day-to-day life to say that such challenges happens in everyone’s life.
You are the best judge of your state and your relationship. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">React before it is too late. The longer you stay in an abusive
relationship the consequences can be extremely damaging. The consequences could extend to your family,
children and beyond. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have reached a situation where
you have decided to exit the relationship, bear in mind, it may not be easy. Actually, the time you decide to exit, the abuser
will be more abusive on you. But he/she
would not agree to quit the relationship.
Most often they would build justification over why they do not want to
break the relationship while none of such justifications would sound reasonable
and they would never own up their abusive behavior. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Such abusers shift the blame of
failure on people and situations and say that both partners should mend their
ways to make the relationship work. While
the intent of mutual efforts to keep a relationship is true in general, it
doesn’t apply to an abusive relationship and you are the best judge to assess
if you are being abused or not. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Keeping generic readers in mind,
a word of caution here. When you trust
the words of your partner, do not get suspicious and trust wholeheartedly. However, you have every right
to change your mind when you come across situations that contradicts this
trust. You have every right to reconnect
or withdraw after reconnecting. No one
likes to end a relationship so quickly. They well know that most often such
ending impacts families and has a lasting effect on individuals and children,
if there are any. However, when you
reach a situation in life to make such a decision, do not regret the time you
spent together. Remember that the
experience has prepared you for the future.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">No one has the right to control another
individual and more importantly to abuse the relationship with an
individual. Life is beautiful if you
choose it rightly and even if you go wrong here and there, just mend your
ways. Allow the negative experiences
that come along in the form of failure, desertion, deprived affection,
betrayal, guilt and revenge to be compromised as a learning experience for your
future. All that matters is what makes
you happy, whether staying in the relationship or exiting it. It is not healthy to stay in an abusive
relationship. It is better to move on
and once you have decided to do so and once decided, it is recommended that you
don’t look back. This will minimize
complications for your future. You might
actually realise that life is after all not as bad as you might have concluded
it to be. Live and let live, live
purposefully and blissfully. Never
accept abuse. </span></span></span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790169359109923668.post-90059029301316332312014-10-27T15:09:00.000+04:002014-10-27T15:09:10.656+04:00Beware! Cyber Crimes - By Hook or Crook or Hack<br />
All that glitters is not gold! Quiet an old proverb but a very true saying. A very interesting phone call aroused my thoughts to this blog. How much have we heard of cyber crimes and how protected are we?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fyk5ne5SpXU/VE4Qv0ehngI/AAAAAAAAAh0/rNj6jrSGBBg/s1600/image%2B1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fyk5ne5SpXU/VE4Qv0ehngI/AAAAAAAAAh0/rNj6jrSGBBg/s1600/image%2B1.png" height="152" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last week I received a call from a recruitment agency telling me that I have the most appropriate CV that aptly fits the requirement of their MNC client. The call progressed taking my background study, my experience and so on and so forth and slowly a trap was coming to light. The deal was that, I should register for their service, making an online payment of USD 250 in consideration for the exclusive professional service rendered by them. The recruitment consultant claimed that, the recruitment agency caters only to a niche market of high profile multi-national companies and management positions. In all fairness it sounded to be a legitimate claim. However, I personally do not believe in paying to get paid. The terms of trade in human capital so far is that, the employers spend to identify the right candidate. After all the recruitment agency would make at-least half month to two months of basic salary as commission for placement of a candidate. Although I did not intend to take their services, something about the call intrigued me to investigate more about them. But the website just read something like, 'Wisdomjobs.com or Timesjob.com or CareerExcel.com etc., The obvious questions that came to my mind were, </div>
<ol>
<li>Is it a registered entity?</li>
<li>What corporate body is it, a company or firm etc.,? </li>
<li>Where is it primarily located? Does it have a physical office space?</li>
<li>Does it have an organisation with dedicated people physically working?</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if it was a physically existing entity then my approach to investigate would have been different. But it happened to be an E-Commerce business. The website I was looking at was fully packed with contents and ranking meter. It had reasonable amount of partnering job sites and the job search engine boasted as many as 1500 jobs across the globe. It all looked so real and so appealing but I wanted to investigate more. <br />
<br />
As one may know, in Google, its all about key word search. In the case of the agency that approached me, I used the words, <b><i><u>'reviews'</u></i></b>, <b><i><u>'scam'</u> </i></b>along with the '<i style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">website name' </i>and '<b><i><u>phone number'</u></i></b> I received the call from, in various possible combinations. As always, Google showed up as many pages as my screen can handle. I believe, its always the top 3 or 5 search results that tend to best fit the search requirement. And I saw that, most of the messages read that the candidate lost the money transferred to this website. Drawing reference from the messages it seemed that, in some instances, the recruitment consultants had given written email and even signed documents confirming refund in the event of unsatisfactory service or inability to place the candidate on job as committed. However, there was no case of refunds reported. Refund requests were deferred and with the passage of time calls were not answered. However, I even saw a countable few comments of positive service response. But a word of caution here, it could be the fraudsters themselves posting such comments to continue on their fraudulent business. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Interestingly, there were also experiences shared were, the account details provided for refund purposes or instructions to open the bank account online to enable immediate transfer of refund were alternatively used to siphon out funds from the candidates bank account. <br />
<br />
Do you know it only takes as low as $2 to set up a domain name and for $10 one can have email accounts with the website domain name. The setup is within the world-wide-web which gives very limited potential for regulating its governance and operations. Cyber crimes are meshed and tangled in webs within our virtual home, the <u>'WORLD WIDE WEB'</u>. In this virtual web we are exposed to spider cannibalism where knowingly or unknowingly we are risking our identity and financials. It is important to be in a self protective mode in the web environment. Beware of hooks, crooks and hacks. Do your background checks thoroughly before sharing personal details or financial information. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">In this web world, I appeal to all users to be aware and protective about your virtual interactions. Do not get carried away by promotional calls and guaranteed offers. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Avoid paying upfront charges where ever possible. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Do not share your name and date of birth, bank account and similar information unless it is to known individuals, in an authenticated site and adequate background checks has been carried out. It is recommended not to share bank account information particularly for reasons like recruitment services. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the event of a need to register bank account information for further access to site or other similar requirement, complete the background check. Even were it seem authentic and reliable, it is recommended for one to be risk averse. One can look at having a dedicated account with limited balance/transaction value. For example, one can have a debit/credit card with a very low balance/transaction limit for utilization towards access to sites or services received. However, make sure to have different passwords and that the card is not linked to any of the regular bank accounts and that the card statements are closely monitored.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Though we have come a long way in advancement in technology, cyber crime is a global threat that is posing immense challenges. If one is caught in the wrong foot, filing a complaint with proper authorities is probably the only window left and getting justice on such matters is left to the power of hope. Be aware and do not let your desperate need or emotion overtake your judgement and action, KEEP SAFE! </div>

night in pain and I start to wonder about blogging to occupy my mind. I
thank the new acquaintance I met at the Clinic, I visited today, for
giving me this thought that occupied my mind and killed my pain. A
budding young beautiful twelfth grader sharing her thoughts about
career. She said, 'I love many things, then how can I choose and more
so, what I choose may not pay what I want.', very well said. The matter that intrigued me to this blog. <br />

<br />
How often we hear, 'Follow your passion and there would be no stone
unturned and no barriers to your success'. Until today, I did not give
much thought to this statement. But, does passion always pay your
lifestyle? How often have we heard about failed people who never made it
to the top. The passion was to be a great musician and the musician
landed up to be a day-waged freelancer at hotels and night clubs. Many
such times what do we hear as value advice, 'To make it big, you must<strong> truly </strong>follow
your passion'. That is right, I do not dispute the statement, after-all
great men have said this. However, what if, you do not know what is
your passion. For a young beginner, everything interests him or her
starting from movies to gadgets to music to sports and sometimes
studies, rather reading. Then how can one choose what to follow. Today,
its a competitive, multicultural world were all new comers need to be
warriors loaded with credentials, <em>great degrees, good social and
interpersonal skills, analytical and logical skills, impressive
negotiation and communication skills and preferably multilingual as well</em>....this
list will be endless. So were do you fit it all and how much more will
you fight to make it to the top. There is no one motivation statement
that fits all.<br /> <br /> Its all about '<strong>Designing your Life'</strong>
as, you need to follow your passion while you satisfy your needs. My
dear new comers (adolescents, fresh graduates, career starters),<strong> become one of the wonderful craftsman in, designing your life.</strong>
List your interests and what you think are your passion, but do not
forget, to make your career out of your passion you need to give it
sometime to know your real passion. You can still become something else
while passion takes the form of your hobby since, as you grow and gain
experience your interests will vary. Remember, passion is one that will
not change over time. The key to success is, '<strong>Its not always, do what you love to do, but its about, learn to love what you do' and you will eventually find your passion</strong>.
Look for challenges and experience of learning new things rather than
showing a spontaneous disinterest to new things. Do not get carried away
by per-conceived negativity over courses you take, over roles or
particular type of jobs you are assigned. This also includes,<br />
<ul>
<li>dislike about the university you end up in,</li>
<li>the course you end up with,</li>
<li>the company you land up working for,</li>
<li>the title you are assigned, or</li>
<li>the job profile you are give etc.,</li>
</ul>
You
may think why I have written it here the negative way reflecting your
inner voice sounding loud,'what have you done to yourself?'. This is how
many a times you feel but, my dear, this is not the end; its always the
beginning of your life and you can design it very beautifully.<br />A
college drop out landed himself up in the role of a waiter in the most
sub-standard restaurant to feed himself and his needs. But hold it
before you conclude it to be bad. Being small and substandard, maybe, it
opened avenues to a broader learning for him. Could be that, he learned
to cook and that too the most unique recipes that made him to the
Master Chef of tomorrow. There are many great men who started their
career low. We have heard about them but not at all times taken the
right learning from their life. They are people who challenged life and
with an open mind to fight, they learn from their experience. <br /> Lot
of times, we do not realize the importance of the experience we gain in
life. Every experience needs to be taken wholeheartedly and given the
fullest effort. Of course, while you do this, do not forget the great
man saying,<br />
<h4 class="quoteText">
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, <span>keep looking. Don't settle.</span>” - Steve Jobs</h4>
<div>
It
is you who can design your life well. All you need is an open-mind and a
will to fight and the positivity to learn new things and gain
experience, of-course without giving up your passion. Do what you like
to do, but think twice if you want to assign it the role of your career
or your hobby. Learn to adapt to the situation of life you are in and
give it your fullest effort, just to gain from its experience. Do keep
looking within yourself of what you want to be and design yourself
better. Be a craftsman who improves over time and practice. Remember,
there is no one who has got it right the first time around and that is
why it is said, 'Failures Are Stepping Stone to Success'.</div>

Today I stopped to think on this. I quite realised how soon we get consumed in the world around us and the changes it brings. Do we allocate time to do things we like? How often do we remember the hobbies of our childhood, be it to write or read, collect or stick or our hobbies as an adult, in my case, 'To Blog'. It is this thought, coupled with my recent experience and my reading of one interesting article on, Social Networking's Good and Bad Impact on kids', that made me blog today. This article on social networking, was based on a psychological study and it said that, social networking causes narcissistic & aggressive tendencies and other psychological disorders in children (including teenager). It also brought out the positive impact of social networking. The study says, social networking can help introverts to socialize behind the safety of the gadget screen, be it smartphone or laptop or tablet. More than the good and bad impacts, what interested the most was the psychologist's guidance to parent and it is this reading that got me to think and I share my perspective here.<br />
<br />
<b>Children in today's world are god of gadgets. </b> Do they enjoy their childhood? May be!. Its the world of virtual reality, where even friends are not all real but are contacts on face book or Whats-App. Entertainments are more on You-tube and internet games. As parent how much do we understand our children and their childhood ways. It is here, I wonder if it may be all about our perspective. Many of us do not want to change our views and beliefs on how childhood should be and as result we differ from our children's views and tend to differ in our perspective about teens today! <br />

<br />
How often do you get suspicious about the internet activities of your child? So are you also one of those who try some espionage, setting codes and passwords on the system?. Alternatively, how often have you behaved as a friend to your child? How often have you tried to become a friend understanding their childhood the gadget way? Without doing that, how often have you advised your child of how childhood should be?. So,after all, who is not with an open mind to explore here, you or your child?.<br />
<br />
In this fast changing virtual world, there is a need for a trusted friend who lives in real world. If the well being of your child is priority and duty, then its time for a paradigm shift in parenthood. Being a protective parent is no longer about carrot and stick approach but it goes beyond. It is important to become a dependable friend to your child. It is important to build the much needed trust within your child so that, your child develops the comfort to approach you and develops the open mind to listen to you. Open your mind to their world to open their mind to your experience and your views of good and bad, right and wrong. Today's parenting is about upgrading to the virtual world, guided by values, beliefs and life experiences towards becoming a role model and guide to the younger generation who are growing in a more challenging world of their own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790169359109923668.post-8334704082877705502013-11-26T09:32:00.001+04:002017-08-11T11:39:34.820+04:00What's your Tolerance Quotient?<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have often wondered of this question, What's my tolerance quotient?. As I find my inner self struggling to find answer to that question, that one question gives birth to many many more complex ones and the brain recognizes a cyclical mesh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-HripKleE4/UpQu9CaPqII/AAAAAAAAAcw/3ngPdPnc5fw/s1600/tolerance+quotient.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L-HripKleE4/UpQu9CaPqII/AAAAAAAAAcw/3ngPdPnc5fw/s400/tolerance+quotient.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The question of tolerance quotient is so influenced by complex group of factors that carry equal weightage,</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">the state of mind you are in (frustrated, happy, sad, dull and blank or inquisitive)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">the situation on hand (a mistake by own self, a mistake of someone else, a forced situation, an unhappy moment, disagreements with another sole person or a group of persons on the 'right and wrong thing')</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">the frequency of occurrence of the situation (same or similar) and funnily another tolerance level to the factor, which is, what frequency is acceptable for you? and</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">your anticipation of the outcome of the situation on hand and the level of disagreement with other(s) on the outcome impact. Disagreement with other(s) is generally on the impact of the situation, as petty or serious. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I put these words together, I recollect an incident that best explains the above. It was a fine morning and the routine had set in just like any other day for the working mother, my friend. She had done her cooking course, packed the lunches for husband, kid and self, done the breakfast for all, attended the official mails and calls that planned her another busy day. As the irony always works, its one of those tensed days at work when her phone rang and her husband bombarded her. He said, "you have defaulted the term fees for the kid. I received the call from school, how embarrassing you made me feel. How do they employ you at work, you one inefficient kind.....". She is obviously upset not only about defaulting the fees but also about those words from her husband while her inner-self says, "that's very unreasonable, if I am the mother, he is the father and the responsibility is equal, how can he blame me for this". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With those mixed feelings, she accepts her colleagues offer for a tea break. She sits silent with her tea mug at the office pantry and one of her office mate asks her, "hey! whats wrong with you, all's well?". It was one of her most dependable friend so she narrates the incident. Her friend makes her feel better as always, given the fact that this only a temporary consolation. Her friend said, "oh! come-on, is this the first time for you, my child is in her higher secondary and I don't remember the number of times I have done this. See, its not that big mistake, it happens to all of us".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Later that evening, she approaches her still angry husband quoting what happened in office and also trying to be submissive considering that, after-all it was a mistake she is party to as well. However, she only lands up hearing more from him, as if, his office work and the tension it gives are unmanageable and she must be aware of that and that it was her duty as a responsible wife to unburden him of the family responsibilities. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the above incident, it is quiet visible that the wife's tolerance level is much higher and the husband's is much lower and they are at two opposite ends of the rating scale. But wait, lets not conclude here picturing the man to be the worst human being. As I already said, the level of tolerance is influenced by those many complex factors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a worst day for the man as he was facing a situation of losing his job and was terribly tensed when this call from the school interfered in. And the moment he cut the line from school he happened to call his wife. The rest of his day at work was also not that very pleasant and there comes the end of the day with arguments and disappointments between the husband and wife. This is often the day-to-day life that is being run by many families that I know and I have heard. But the truth is, its not a new world, even for our parents and theirs its the same world they lived in. However, what is changed is the pace at which we learn, we grow. While we have leaned to move fast paced we have not learned to handle the pressure it comes with. That is were your, 'Tolerance Quotient' takes great importance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, we are in a world of 'STRESS' and women take as much responsibility at work as men do. After-all women also go through the same amount of hardship and mostly more than men to make their career and grow in it. The family and business relationships are often broken early due to low tolerance and stress outburst. The truth of standing by troubled times and strengthening the relationships is getting forgotten in this fast and competitive stressed world where there is increasing lack of trust. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you are dumped in situations that test your tolerance, spend few lone moments closing your eyes and taking a deep breath also digesting the situation your in. When you calm down, the mind reflects a more calm reaction and often has the solutions found. This way, you avoid shifting your panic and unpleasantness to people around you which in-effect worsens the situation you are in. <b>Learn to improve your tolerance quotient, learn to love and trust and stand by the people you trust, 'cos its a madly stressed world you are in! </b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">n other words, if only, life gives me a second chance, I will go back to my youth and wouldn't have become the number freak and a geek accountant that I have become.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I would have been a natures lover, a carefree traveler, probably a journalist talking and doing the right thing. But wait, would it have been that easy, to be a fair and just journalist who does not drive the opinion to achieve TRP rating whether he or she likes it or not. May be it would pose a even greater challenge to be thyself. Coming to think of it that way, its better to take up what life has given me than ask for something it has not given. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, coming to think of it, its just our perception of mind. Its the law of nature for human mind to behave in such a way, to always want for something, ever urge and never get satisfied. If only one can separate his thoughts from his mind, he can set the thoughts straight when ever the mind is depressed or does not come to consensus. In this fast changing world, which has even invented machines to measure happiness, the world is not too far off when the mind becomes a memory chip controlled with a remote in your own hands. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh my God, coming to think of it, how dependent we have become to this world of technology. Technology that we relish spending all our time browsing say, an i-Phone or i-Pad or any small or big gadgets. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We spend all our time slaved to the gadgets and get depressed for some or the other reason, say, career, financial, family and more and to even shy away from our problems, we hide behind the gadgets. We have become slaves, a mechanical robot glued to the technological gadgets for phone calls, SMSs, emails. Even to know our near and dears birthdays, we need the birthday alarms to ring on our phones. Mechanics are intended to make life simple but we are moving towards the same mechanics overtaking our life. We have lost our time to the virtual world of internet and social networks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If only time can repeat itself, i wish to go back to the good old days of POTS, the standard telephone line stringed with copper wire that limits the time spent on calls and as a matter of fact, that which even limits the number of calls received and done merely because it is fixed at the right place where it should be, in some corner near the wall at our homes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Come on, its high time to get ourselves back on track, all the gadgets are to ease our lifestyle but not takeover it. Get your priorities set, spend your time wisely, with family and friends and yourself after all there is a real world outside your gadget. </span></div>

I traveled to a mountain 3000ft above sea level. I got my revelations looking at that beautiful sky accompanied by the setting sun and the rising moon, the mountains making the skyline..gods most beautiful canvas painting...<br />
<img height="265" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1394316_10201302112732662_1001434934_n.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Why is that we all get revelations when we gaze at the sky for a while? The mind reaches a steady state and resolves any problems that comes to our thoughts....Maybe this is what it means when people say, open your mind and you can face all matters that concerns you. <br />
<br />
Such a simple truth to all the troubles and tangles life gives us! <b>Free your mind. </b> Imagine, long stretching greenery, lovely humming birds, sound of sizzling water flows and the feel of the breeze..and amid all of that a nice little home and a happy family...<br />
<br />
All it needs for a troubled state or a stressed life is to free the mind from it. Do not let these negative states influence your mind. Yesterday i watched a TV show and a sage shared this beautiful thought. <b>When there is a conflict in relationship, even if you are not making the arguments, your pain is the contribution to conflict. </b> <b>And the best way to resolve the conflict is to free your mind from it. Accept the truth that each one is different and you cannot influence your expectations on the other. </b><br />
<br />
You know, the best positive energy flows from your own-self. Imagine good things and happiness and let the mind believe in it.<br />
<br />
Dream! that's the magic word that keeps us going...get us working...its the force behind our deeds...the saying, aim for the sky if you wish to reach the tree top is so true...Dream big! and if you want the dream to come true, do not sleep! Get your motivator acting for you....force your soul to follow your dream and success will follow you!<br />

<br />
First lesson to the little being just out of the mothers womb is to cry! No one teaches to cry or to laugh, to show anger or to love....then why do the wise say, 'Life teaches lessons'? I would say, Life is the God particle which cannot be seen and cannot be felt but it is there. Incredible and Invisible!<br />

<br />
This means, all we do is only a realisation of what we already know. What we experience is Life and all that we have to do is to refine and beautify and complete our God Particle. Like always, many things are said than done. <br />
<br />
When I thought of this topic, I just wanted to visualize life as a whole and here I come to put them in few lines of how it is,<br />
<br />
I was born, I knew to cry,<br />
I knew to drink and to squeak, <br />
I crawled and soon I walked,<br />
I started to babble and soon it became a gibble,<br />
Life of mine knows it more than me,<br />
Oh thy God Particle,<br />
Take me through my age,<br />
with,<br />
Joy and worry,<br />
Sadness and hurry,<br />
Money and honey,<br />
Kids and bunny,<br />
Give it all and make it full,<br />
What more can I ask my God Almighty before this small God Particle joins your whole! <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #4c1130;">We can deny, shy away from accepting to others or to even our own self, but this feeling of guilt does catch some moments of our life.

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-weight: bold;">Sometimes it is unavoidable and we are party to this guilty feeling. In such occassions, we have no control over the happenings and we are helpless. With the strom of recession, the often arising event is to churn the staff count. It is the times when the management wishes to cut down roles and the Manager offers the pink slip to his employees, being helpless party to the happenings.

<b><span style="color: #4c1130;">Lot of times we fail to identify our hard feeling as guilt. We want our brain to overpower our soul in calling the moment or event as a fault of another, instead of our own guilt. Just close your eyes and drift in your thoughts to see the truth, the subconcious mind often alerts you of your mistakes, your guilt.

<b>A girl child!</b> such a priced possession. From the
day a girl learns to stand and walk, she learns to work. As she grows,
she becomes a symbol of tolerance and an epitome of sacrifice. How often
do we hear success stories of empowered women amid the male dominated
world of business? Most studies by renowned groups including McKensey,
Boston Consulting or Big 4 firms show that, women who make it to board
room in most countries is as low as 10-15%.</div>

<i><b>The studies quote that, women give up their career due to predominantly two reasons, home or dominant power:</b></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>1. The most often quoted reason being, the pressing need to be good moms at home; and</b></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>2. and the less quoted but often occurring reason being prejudiced promotions to men.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div>
Women who have greater literacy rate and graduate in equal or more
number to male, slow down in career, as compared to men. 'Gender
Equality' is most often prejudiced in the world of business. What makes
women decelerate in career is studied to be the need to balance family
responsibilities amid challenging gender prejudice. The challenge in
maintaining the work life balance predominantly works against career
growth for women. In other words, behind every successful man there is a
women, but, <strong>behind every successful women there is high level of Personal Sacrifices. </strong></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<strong><em>"Career at the high cost of compromised family relationships."</em></strong></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cover stories about successful women often fail to cover her
turmoil, losses and personal sacrifices. Gender equality and women
empowerment is more a myth than a reality limited to literature boasted
on annual reports. The big corporate think tanks do not want to open the
realms of working style to suit the women needs and benefit the society
at large. How often are company policies amended to allow and legalize
flexible working hours and working from home. Even in the world of
gadgets when you can always be connected with work, work-from-home is
not legalized or recognized well. After-all in today's cost cutting era
of business, such mobilization of workspace and reduction of running
cost for work space should be seen as a welcome measure. Why the
corporate world does not encourage women oriented working environment,
like planning a creche for working mothers?. Why are these often heard
as an astonishing achievement by a small hand full of companies?. As a matter of fact, it must become a normal part of the corporate environment.</div>

<div>
<strong>"It
is not how much you work that matters but it is how smart you work that
can really increase the bottom-line of the companies."</strong></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
welcome the day when the world awakens to this thought and welcome
change like amendment to corporate polices to legalize work-from-home
and recognize flexible work hours. That day will be the <strong>Worlds Women Empowerment Day!</strong></div>

<b>Marriages are made in heaven! </b>what could that great saying mean? An Eve for Adam was sent by god. So, does he match the so called ideal couples may be. Can there be one ideal couple to quote from the real world and more so in today's world of gadgets? I have always wondered what an ideal couple would mean. Does it mean that they never quarrel, never show their ego on each other?. No, ideal is when they stand for each other particularly in times of trouble. There was an article I read on high rising divorce rates. The article quoted lack of communication, misunderstandings, career clashes as some of the primary reasons. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
It is said that, at times of trouble the bondage of love builds stronger as one proves to the other that he or she is there even where the whole world is against. In this fast moving wold, there is lack of time for sharing moments to show affection, to show love and care. How many of us still write poetic lines to express love after marriage. Be it child or adult, we are so busy in the world of work, apps and social networks. In the rat race that we all get into we forget to show affection to our loved ones. We forget that families have expectations we fail to understand. We are blinded in our own world in which we perceive our families expectations. We are overwhelmed in our misconceptions that we know better of what our family needs. If only we make a small effort in understanding our families needs from <b>their perspective</b> every home will become a better place. Sin or boon is in the way we would lead our life. In marriage we share our life, which implies our better-half has all the right and responsibility to influence our life. Give equal right and responsibility to your better-half and learn to forget and forgive. After all its your life you are trying to take control over and that can be possible only when you treat your better-half like your own. <b>You have the right to argue and fight but you also have the responsibility to set it right. Life without marriage would be a sin and married life can be a big win, if only you play by the rules of love. </b></div>

If only this article can influence broken hearts to re-unite, then it has served its purpose. <br />
<br />
Ego is to some extent an essential quality but there is no harm in giving it up for your loved ones. Break the ice and talk your problem, always spend time in understanding your loved ones, make some time to flatter some love lines. After all life is short and is meant to enjoy.<br />
