Q/V/I Tough to be Simple……

How many of us feel that it’s quite tough to be simple, or Very Tough to be simple or is it like impossible to be simple. Because it’s a competitive world, so to be front in the race we have to be a tricky, if not a cheater. Why I m saying “we have to be cheater”, because every moment we try to show others that we have more information/knowledge, every time we try to dominate others, sometimes, in spite knowing that we might know less than others, still we burst out. Have we ever become listener, in spite knowing everything about the place/topic? Is it really tough?
Though, I agree that it’s a human nature, who does whatever we like to do, things in which we feel satisfaction. But how many times we have held (stop) ourselves in doing something which we wanted to do very desperately. Have you ever tried or think this? Try it once.
I will give you an example, Let take a situation where we are sitting with our close friends and a few of our friends bitching about one of ours other friend, who is not there,,,,,,,,,in this situation I am very much sure that we too wants to add one more comment against that friend to make our presence worth. Do we feel inferior when we don’t speak in such a situation for a while. But, if, somehow we stop ourselves to do that, that’s where we make our presence better.
Have we ever imagined controlling our 5 senses, For example, when we come back from playing, and feeling very thirsty? In spite knowing that a glaas of cold water can harm us, how many times we control our senses not to drink water immediately. Try this next time??
Almost daily we go out and burst out on food which is very spicy though tasty, ignoring the fact that it’s daily consumption can create a problem, surely. In spite knowing that we take chances, and ignore normal chapatti diet.

Friends it’s all about controlling our senses, which is tough but not impossible. Try it next time and feel the happiness.

IF TOYOTA DID IT, THEN WHY NOT OTHERS......

IF TOYOTA DID IT,

Yes, its an expereince that always leaves an unforgettable mark on anyones life, could be because of its sweetness or ........sourness.

It was a normal-usual interview, which finally become a learning lesson for me. Thats the one company, I always heard good about, and thats the main reason I want to & went to try my luck, of around 50 km from my house, even after knowing that the pacakge is low for an experienced MBA.

Work & habit speaks much louder than advertisments, thats what I felt true first time. People out their in Bidadi (Bangalore) were looking like, as if they are really following the six sigma, not only in their work & technologies, but in their personal lifes too.

It was the lunch hour when I reached there, and they offered me a coupon for lunch. Small incident, where I saw a person, who seems to be on higher position, after opening & using a Bislari water bottle, passed the rest to someone who seems to be a junior to him. I know its not a new thing for few people, but the big deal is that the junior accpeted it happily. I was wondering why he accpeted that open bottle, when he can take a new bislari bottle, like every other Indian does.

As soon as I finished my lunch, I was called for the interview session. I filled a form with basic details, and after 10 mins I was called in front of 2 people, for the interview. My interview was good, everything was their whatever they have demanded. It ran for about 20-25 mins. Interviewers seems to be very happy with my profile. They asked me to wait outside, and within 2 mins, a girl came out and told me that sorry you didnt get selected because our requirements are not matching with your profile. It seems that you are over qualified for this post. And she told me that we dont want to waste your as well as companies time, so we dont wanna give you any hope for the 2nd call. It could be Six sigma for them, but for me its Double Six sigma, as they have saved my time too.

With my personal experience, I never found any company who said this to me earlier. Rather companies want you to wait for long & will feel proud & happy, if anyhow they tab an over qualified candidate.

There are companies which will not disclose their pacakge till your final placements. I have an experience, where a well reputed real estate company have told the package after the final selection to an experienced MBA, which (package) I am sure would not be accpetable even to a graduate guy. So, what such kind of companies trying to do in the market. Is it a marketing stunt or they want to show their supremacy in the market. If they are trying anyone of these two, I dont think they will get get anyone of the above.

There are loads of incidents where companies, at the time of calling candidates, tells them that "pacakage would depend on the candidates capabilities". And when applicant reaches for interview, he/she gets to know that the pacakge is very very low, which is not even accordence with their qualifications, leave the capabilities & experience.

This is what leads to the experience, which is very sour and make an Unforgettable mark on the company. And thats the experience, which was sweet and left a memory for every walk of life...............................an unforgetabel lesson.

THEN, WHY NOT OTHERS........................

RATIONALITY OVER emotions.....................


This day will be one of the most memorable day of my life forever, not because I have achieved something, just because I want to go into my past & recall my all memories. Today I don't want to miss recalling a single moment spent with my Old grandfather's house, sitting among relatives, getting money from grandmother for kites, for candies, ice creams, going on evening walk with her, just because I knew that it will be good for her health & she feels good, going with her on various marriage ceremonies, listening her tensions regarding my mama's, as we learnt thats the only way to make them feel happy & minimize their inside pain.

Its a relation that developed since I started woking up with her at 4 in the morning for worship, plucking flowers with her, sitting with her in puja, where the light of one diya is so bright & mesmerising. At that time I didnt undrstood the charm of that light, though I love to sit there, but if now someone will ask me the value of that charm, my reply would be "its unmeasurable". Its a bond since she was able to getup at 4, takes bath, washes my face, does her work by herslef, & she arranges everything.

I still remember when I use to go to her on vacations, she never forgot to send ma mama's to the bus station, for any kind of inconvenience, arranging everything by her own. She always tries to make us eat as much as possible. At that time I used to think that I m the only happiest & richest kid in the city, as I got whatever we wanted. It doesn't meant that she want to spoil me.

She always supported me against my mother & fathers strict instructions, and tried to defend me every time. I never found her getting bored from my activities, surely because she never wanted me to look sad & unhappy. Today I also want to recalls those days when I used to be excited about her arrival at our home, me and my sister put turns to sleep beside her, in alternate days. At that time we used to feel that she is the only caring person around me, not even parents, and feels sad if I get to know that she will be going back in few days.

After few years she got diabetes, she used to take 2 injections a day before meal. That was painful for me in the early days, but as days gone, become usual for her as well as for me. She started keeping ill twice or thrice a month, but still seems happy whenever I visited her. In winter days we used to sit under sun for long long time, discussing so many things, as I don't want to leave her alone for even few seconds. This is just because my mother always told me that old people are the most valuable assets of the family, & they love to talk a lot, specially with new generation people. She used to hold my hand tightly, surely was an indication that how much she was missing me & surely asking for some mental support at her age, as I used to visit her once in a blue moon. I never saw her without crying when we used to depart from each other.

Today I don't want to miss a single interaction. I m feeling like broken, alone, feeling like its good that I m not there, but but but still I m not crying, doing my all work as usual, What happen to me, where is that all love & affection gone? Is it like I m hiding that love, affection & care, or don't want to show others. OR is it I become very much Rational, and it killed my emotions, my values, particularly for that person who has done so much for me. Why I m not crying for the person who always cried, whenever we departed, in the past, who always cared for my comfortableness, my happiness, who is closest to me.

I think I become selfish & useless rational because since childhood my environment wants me to become like that. I become so much rational, for my means, that I forgot that old people are the real assets of everyone's family.

Its time to know the difference............

LIFE IS GETTING SHORTER & shorter- but, you are not alone

Is it really important for human being to get failed in his life, once, twice, thrice or n number of times……..any reply? Or getting success in every point of life is what everyone is looking for. How many times in our life we got failed, or take it in other way how many times we have faced failure. I think no one love to reply this, simply because we are human beings and by nature we are the most self centered & selfish animal on this earth.

BUT failure doesn’t mean we are incapable, nor it means others are more capable, it simply means that our thoughts don’t match with other qualifiers or evaluator. I call it uniqueness of every individual. May be each reader will laugh at first sight, but from inside they knew that happiness & satisfaction is the real success for everyone & anyone. How many times we get scolding from one teacher and get appreciation from other? So is it means that we are loser. Does it mean all the winners are the happiest human beings on this earth? Now, if we see life histories of great entrepreneurs, actors, sport personalities, at some point of time, their thoughts were discarded either by their teachers, or by their family members, or in some cases by their friends. Is there any direct relation between success and happiness or satisfaction? If we try to find out satisfied people in this world, may be we are able to name few, but are they really happy & satisfied, in a way their life moved? Find out few names & try to search their life history. You will get the reply.

So if not a single person on this earth is, capable of doing everything right &, satisfied then why the feeling of superiorness & jealous among each others. Is it because others are more capable or because they are not capable? Think- Because Life is getting shorter & shorter.
