Thank God I have a blog !!

Just wanted to capture some "words" that are flashing through my mind at present... you all know its the philosophical side of my personality...

Fake people... Out of confidence interval...Square peg in a round whole...Jack of all master of none...inconsistency....attitude....Believe in urself...strategy.... diplomatic...emotional... Hypocrates...double standards.....lazy....indirect...external validation...will add some more soon..

The people who publicaly say person xyz irritates me, dont know how much irritating they are...

Some people have crab like mentality...if one person is trying to do something good or different from them ...they will pull him/her down to their level and will not let him/her move ahead.

Self awareness

Oh kya baat hai ..ek din mein do do posts? .. Time he time hai aaj...and mind is also havin some topics to post.. After reading the title of the post you must be thinking that it might have something to do with psychology, emotional intelligence and such stuff. But the topic is something to describe the characteristics of my posts. And hence my style of describing things. My posts are small in size, in relation to the posts found at other blogs. Sometimes they have nothing to say just flowery or crap language (whatever you say). And many times they describe my inner frustration and grief. Taking size of the post into consideration, its the same while having conversation with some one and while giving a presentation in class room. I just make some significant points and then keep mum. I leave much to the understanding of the listeners. This is bad both for the conversation at personal level and at professional level and may lead to misunderstanding. So need to learn the " art of elaboration" and make my point drill deep in the mind of the listeners. Better late than never ..even at the end of MBA programme.... Readers...I need to take a poll here ...what kind of posts do you like?..long ones or short ones...? Please comment. (nice way of gathering comments ... :) :))

A post a day, makes readers to stay (with your blog)

Lazy me.... at least in the matters of blogging....Blog is my long term investment and I have to check whether its nourished properly. How should I hedge the risk and how should I diversify the portfolio (of posts, so that I cater to the readers of all Geners). Well as was in the previous post this time too I have connected my post(not life this time) to the financial matters. Hey hello, I am specializing in HR. But then there is something called the song effect ..If some-one is singing a song passing near by you, no matter how bakwaas it may be, your mind will receive it and you will subconsciously start singing that song. This is what happens when you read only financial news paper, you are surrounded by students specializing in finance and above all you are in an institute which is know for "Financial Research". So, the whole thing is that ke bhaiya..."company you keep does matters"

Portfolio called life !!

Well, my friends are all complaining that since long i didnt post at my blog and as usual I promised them to post something. So my dear readers here is the much awaited post..

As mentioned in my post earlier, I get the title before I think about the content. May seem strange. But thats the way it happens to me these days. It happened so, the other day I had FT (Financial Technology) exam. As was the case with few other papers so was the case with this. I was going through the material to study just two days before the exam. Now during night time the philosophical side of my personality becomes active. And so I was reading when , I came across this term called portfolio.I kept on reading it again and again like a record stuck on the player. May be I was dozzing off to glory.Then the half asleep philosophical mind said something. And it was something that amazed me. It said "life too is a portfolio."

Your type and amount of investments will decide your returns... but finally it all depends on your risk appetite..Higher the risk, higher the return and vice versa...

Hence a small post ....just to justify the title. Nothing that profound...May be a cliche one ..but then something...

Laughing @ my assumptions and hence inferences

It has been more than two months since I posted something. There are n number of reasons for which you can assume why am I not posting and hence you are at freedom to draw your own inferences. But the fact is that I didn’t feel like posting as life was going on at the levels below the self actualization level* (Array...yaar bakwas bandh kar ..aur sidhi baat kar). I didnt want to post now..as I have to prepare a SHRM plan for a company as a part of my course curriculum. I have to submit it by next week. Just before posting here, I figured out that its high time to prepare a plan and a good plan would have commenced a lot earlier. (Array yaaro chhodo...this girl is just venting out whatever she is having in her mind right now..you have many better things to do than to read this post..Some philosophical thoughts come in her mind during night hours). Okay then suddenly something struck me out of introspection. (Hain ..itne dino baad aaj time mila introspection ka…??) What was that ? ...The title of this post...(Hmmm posts zyaadaatar bottom up approach use karke likhe jaate hain ..aur ye top down method use kar rahi hai...aur ek wajah post read nahin karneki…yaar post has no direction also…rail ki patri pakad dost)

Well, the title came out of something that had happened today. It was failure in a test. The test is called "trust". Initially I have failed in this test many times but the examiner is a very magnanimous and pure soul who would each time give me one more chance. He/She has a hidden hope somewhere in her/his heart that someday I will clear this test. Thanks to him/her for his/her leniency and for believing in me.

Failure of the test today made me feel really miserable as last time when I failed the test I had shown high prospects of clearing the test next time. But each time when testing times come I just move to some lower levels and hence fail the test. This level according to me is the level titled "Social Needs". This realization was a result of a little bit of introspection that had automatically started in my mind ..even though my eyes were mechanically reading the Strategic Human Resource Management book's Index. I closed the book thereafter and then got the true reason of failure. I started laughing by myself on myself. This laugh made me feel lighter and in true sense happy. The concrete reason that I managed to put in words is as follows:
"Assumptions you make and Inferences you draw from those are very much related" .

My assumptions when I appear for the test were my own and hence the inferences I drew were also my own. This caused failure. So the bottom line is unless and until mentioned don’t assume things. Be it theory or practical, work or life, move ahead on the basis of facts.


*For those who are unaware of the levels that I have mentioned above, I am referring to Maslow's Hirearchy of Needs.

Apology: People who know this incidence, I sincerely apologize for making the entire incidence a bit fictitious. Modifications are made to convey the essence of the topic to the readers.

Island of Ants

The other day I opened the lid of the water jug to drink water. I was about to drink water but suddenly I spotted something in the transparency of the water. I saw some ants and thought that by mistake they had fallen in the jug and all are dead. But when I observed them closely I found that they are approximately 40-50 in number and all of them were alive. I wanted to drink water instantly so without taking much interest I slowly poured out water in the wash basin and the ants dispersed as they came out. I rinsed the jug two- three times, scrubbed it with brush, thinking that some eatable parts might be inside the jug. Then I went to water cooler and filled the jug with fresh and chilled water.

Night passed. The next day again I found ants. I was surprised this time and again did the same thing which I did the day before. This time I was keen to know why the ants were coming inside my jug. The third day same thing happened and I got fed up of this thing. Finally I took other jug from the mess and started drinking water from it.

The scientific reason that I can think is that there is still some deposit in the water jug or some essence that is attracting the ants. (Who has time to remove these microscopic things..)

The imaginative reason which first came to my mind was that this is an evolution and ants are forming colonies on water…!! What say? I have still kept water in that jug and those little creatures venture and stay (group swim ..hehe) in it..

I am blessed !!

Dont take the nice and best things in your life, for granted. They need your attention and care.

Dont test their limits. They may shatter and never be the same again.

Dont take their goodness for a ride. Life gives you one chance. And time and words once gone never come back.

Live your life at best but before that take atmost care of the those that make your life worth living.

Life is teaching me so much each day. I am really grateful to my fate and that supreme being for making me a skillful sailor in this rough sea of life.
