Lie but stick with it.

Working with sales team is a new experience for me. Sales team always goes out to meet client. That should be the right quality of salesman. Those who sit at office will not do any good in sales. Some people say they are a sales call and sit at home. This is common in sales but those who do good in sales, it is acceptable and we dont bother. At the end of the month they wont have issue. But those who wont produce result will be burden to organisation. We have sales person, he talks about only prospects. Begining of the month to end, he tell something. I have asked for an explanation in mail. He said, he has to drive for long distance to home so he reply later. Immediately called, he is with his daughter. Buddy... you are in this field for 15 years... when you lie please learn how to cover that as well.

Cute exaggeration !!

We are in the park, my daughter and me. She was expecting for her friend. She didnt turn up. Another girl came and smiled at us. We started talking and I asked, do you want to play. Yes, cried both girls. I allowed them to play. My girl shared her toy with her. They befriended very quickly. I sat in a bench in the park and monitor them. After a while a lady walk up us and smiled. I quickly realised its her mother. Nice lady gave a smile to me and introduced herself to my daughter. My daughter said, hi and this is my father , proudly. As if no know has fathers. Other girl couldnt take that statement. She said in cute way, I have two fathers! Her mother stumbed.

I am writer... the writer!!

My wife call herself as writer. Because wrote content for some websites, review for some books in Amazon site and in facebook post.. An avid writer in facebook. She broke all the walls of our private life and posted stories of our life. The entire world knows how happy or sad we are about our life is. Whereever she goes, she act as a writer. Our circle doesnt have much writers these days. After telephone come to life no one write a single line in letters. Not even a love letter to express the crush. So we all respect her. All of us treat her as the first writer in our family. Last day, we went to a reception and met a family friends her side. That uncle is very close friend of her father. When she politely explained her writer career. He started tell about her fathers youth period. Her father.. he father in law used to publish novels and poems in a famous weekly.

Eid celebration

Yesterday, we were coming back from temple. It was Nabi day, prophet Mohammed's birthday. My wife said, we have introduced Christmas to our daughter. We are celebrating our festivals too. But we are ignored to introduced any Muslim celebrations. She being a globalised citizen she dont believe in religion. She believe in only spirituality. So we should accept all region and no differenciation. I agree to her. I said, Christmas we celebrate by decorating house, making christmas tree. Buying gift etc. But muslims celebrate by making biriyani and other nice dishes. Why dont you make biriyani at home along with other sweets and non veg. Items to celebrate eid. She didnt like that part of cooking. Then forgot the part of celebrating. But time.. we will do something. If not cooking at home. We will eat biriyani from a hotel.

Diwali bonus for Amazon sales guy!

Amazon delivery boy asked for Diwali bonus from my wife. My wife felt bad and complained to Amazon and a family friend work with Amazon. Amazon guy was very furious with the delivery boy and that is not acceptable it seems. He wanted my wife to raise complain in Amazon customer support. Its against their policies. I understood situation completely. I asked my wife, did you have any problem giving Diwali bonus to our maid? No. She said Because she does my daily work. Yes... its same here too. This delivery boy comes every day and delivery something, so poor guy thought that he work for her daily basis. Asked diwali bonus. Thats all my lady!!

Barge in

Somebody called me while I was in walking discussion. He barge in and said, Nikhil, you will get that reports everyday. What report? That report to analysis this issue? Which issue? Sourcing, no purchasing. ah, no, Recruitment. ok, fixed? yes. For what? Then you will understand that status. Ok, thank you!! Hey dude, Its like, you are waking me up from the deep sleep and asking, do you want Mutton or Chicken Biriyani or do you want to continue sleep?

Marriages are made in heaven

Marriage are made in heaven !! Oh, really. how does it similar? Everyone want to go to heaven, but once you enter... you can come back. Same with Marriage !! No one knows what is inside the heaven? but we think its awesome place to be there !! Same with Marriage !! Yes, Marriage and heaven, have to experience, it cant be explained. Even if someone explained you wont feel it. Still you will take the risk. So all the married people do you want to go to heaven now? On the day my brother got married, my father declared. Next year, Nikky is going to get married. Marriage never hooked my head. I was not interested with girls as any Indian boy who is not smart enough to get a girl friend. But now, I dont have to propose to get a girl. All that work will be done by my parents and keep a girl in front of me. What more, Proposing someone and fear of failure was my biggest worry. Since that problem was solved I was OK to get marry. I had a dream of getting a Aishwarya Rai kind o...

Skip level meeting with a team !!

My Super boss used to do skip level meeting my team. We all used to take it very serious and try to talk very honest. One of this kind meeting when I have attended, I was surprised to see the reaction from the team members. I have to be honest. I was not happy with the team but I kept quiet. But there was a girl who was raised her concerns over the team. Other girl who try to correct that concern and told that it was just an incorrect perception build. The girl who raised concern wondered and accepted finally with other girls point. My global head was impressed, even I. I never saw, she was so assertive and engaged in team issues. I felt so proud about her improvement. She said, she is looking to retire from this company, she love the team, manager. Wow, she understood clearly, why the salary revision didnt happened as per expectation? Why cool drinks cut down from the pantry? she was happy with the new year gift. I really didnt know, she was so understandable. If thats the case, ...

Problem with Accent

Born and bought up in Kerala was the proudest thing I have. But when it comes to my English accent, it is not very proud feeling. I have, rather I had prominent Malayalam twist. Now it is reduced after staying away from home about 14 years. But still I do have this South Indian tune. My daughter born and bought up out Kerala, same time her mother also born and bought up out side Kerala. So My wife, has a neutral accent but she has a english accent Malayalam. My daughter who born and bought up outside kerala, plus groomed by my wife has only English accent, She wont even talk malayalam. It is creating problem from me, when go to my home town. My father to my neighbors do not want to talk to her. All have only smile and escape from her. We, Keralites wont learn English but wont accept that we dont know that language. I had the same problem, thats why, I took more time to learn other language. But thats not my problem now. When my daughter speak, our apartment mates greet her and...

When Acha was a little boy !!

When I was a little boy, my mother took me to a wedding reception along with few of relatives from our place. We had great time; all kids and elders played and enjoyed that day. We all were exhausted at the end. Next day being working day, all of us wanted to come back home. We travelled in a public bus, other relatives put any option to call a taxi when we return. That’s like 20 times of the cost of public transportation. Even I was happy to come back in Taxi. My mother said, ‘Let’s take the bus today. We are buying a car in same time, and then I will take you in our car’. All relatives frown at her. I didn’t know was it because of her financial state at that point of time or they didn’t want to travel in bus. We all board the bus and reach home in one and half hours. But that day, Amma told me a big lesson. Live simple, spend necessary but have a big dream. Her whole time thought me one more thing, walk the talk !! Thank God, for giving us her!!

Jessi Owens was in pressure but more than that he was frustrated with Hitler’s arrogance and his motive show case this event as Ary...

Or within this circle, Do we have any discussion about our passion? Do we have any discussion about our dream? Do we have any discussion about our desire? Do we have any discussion about our destiny? No, we talk about work We talk about shopping list We talk about to do list We don’t know what makes our loved one happy? We don’t know what makes our loved one sad? We don’t know what makes our loved one arouse? We don’t know what makes our loved one mad over? Then how the relationships build? Why don’t we sit and talk? Listen and talk? Give and take? Share each other and understand the comfort and discomfort And make a heave within our boundaries.

Poem

You were the most difficult subject to me I have seen you as a subject As a subject, I can’t digest It killed me in schools It killed me in exams Teachers formed me to by heart I fooled them and escaped from that Now I realized, I have fooled myself By running away from learning But little I had struggled to digest you. I read and couldn’t understand you Even after my schooling I close my poem books With surety that you are not my cup of tea My friends said, love in you make you a poet Never my crushes took me to my poetic skill Or those were not a serious ones Could be Because, when thought my love of my life I could pen down I don’t know was it poem But now I read and understand poem I am reading a lot of sensual poems Could be I find Poem with my interest I don’t know, what I am writing is a poem But it is easy to write Because I don’t have to completely write sentences Tell me, what is Poem? Is it the writing for th...

Red Rose - Expression of love

Red Rose is the express of love Who has defined that it is the expression of love? No one, even then we have seen the world does that. There should be a logic, right? I have closely looked at Red Rose. It is an ordinary flower as other flowers But why this bias? I someone tells me,  Jasmine is the flower to express love. Would I take it? Forget it, world would accept it? May be, no I don't think so Look at the Red Rose from the top Petals open up at the edges Petals become thick and close at the center A dark red in color What is it resemble? That's the beauty Beauty of a girl !!

Red Rose

Rose is the flower of love Rose resembles love Rose will be part of love Rose is the expression of love Gifting rose signifies your love Colour of rose extend different meaning Colour of love is red So, Red Rose synonyms love Question raised in my head? Why Rose has the significance? Why not other flowers? You have other beautiful flowers. Jasmine, Sunflower, Orchid List goes on… I didn’t have an answer Again, why Red? What is the significance of Red? Why not other colours? You have other beautiful colours. White, Yellow, Pink List goes on… Question remained in my head as a child My experience will show me Why Rose is the symbol of love? Exactly, why Red Rose is the symbol of love? 

Nature - Discipline

Run

I know, I can run. I know, I can run half an hour. I know, I can run half an hour without stop. Even then, I have a fear. I have road block, in my heart. I have a fear in my mind. I could fell a weight on my throat. Is it, throat not sure. It is from my throat to my heart. It is the confusion worrying me to take action. to decide, whether to run or sit at home. or read or do something else. It is the confusion or lack of clarity. that why should I do that. yes I know, I want to have a good body. But is it the purpose? am I loving my run. or am I doing it for a better body?   

Live in the present :)

I am coming up with a scenario that everyone is worried about their life. they are in full of regret about the past that they couldnt study well in school, they couldnt propose their first crush. they couldnt take the right career decision. so on and so forth. Because of this, they are anxious about their future. They dont know if they can became a super star in their life? can live peaceful after sometime? would they have enough money for their kids or for themselves. Obvious thing, all of us are forgetting to live in present. in their deep regret and anxiety, they dont get the time to exercise, read, play or entertain themselves. When sit in front of the book, the scenes of failure reflect on the book. when they are in the job, they worry about the future worries. They try hard as there is no tomorrow. When you do things for immediate reward, you miss to love what you are doing. instead you build a curiosity to get the outcome. The moment of path to goal will not have a sincere ...

Standeties

I have studied my primary schooling in a Government school in a village in Kerala. The school is pretty old and even my father and his elders has studied in the same school.  During those days, every year one day, there will be an inspection from the state education department. That day, one inspector come and do verification regarding the quality of education the school is providing and the teaching quality and so on and so forth.  I have seen this from my first standard, few days prior the inspection, teachers will be extra cautious. They try to clean the class room and school surroundings. They ask us to wear good cloths and come. The class room board will be neatly arranged. They try to do all possible things to impress the education inspector.  One of the another important activity is we do have assembly on the inspection day. to practice assembly, we start conduct assemblies prior to few days.  When was in 4th standard, 4th is the highest class ...

Rain rain go away, I want to work

Mumbai is full of rain. The trains, buses and most of the public transportation got stuck. Employees has had issues to commute. It was dawn to my mind that how important is local train in each of the mumbaikars life. The offices were empty almost. I have few people from our native town who stays near the office. they made it to office so we could manage the work with any issue. This was a another insight to me, do we have over staffing or not? Nothing to worry I am not going to any head count cut. When I was in my previous job, as an employee. I used to make it to office whatever happens. Is it because I was more sincere or not other option left? Is it the right responsibility assigned to me? god knows. I want to have a system where people realize the importance of staffing and walking to work no matter what the situation. It is a clear point I want to include in my BCP plan. How would I continue my business if an adverse situation like this happens? The is the challenge I want ...

10 days of silence to visit the self.

My brother has gone for a Vipasana program. It is first time, he is going attend a self development workshop in a serious note. This program last for 10 days, no connection with family or outside world. In his case, it would a very difficult task assigned on him. He is some one who got his job at very early age and he has not really moved out of our home town. He is always in touch with us especially with me. I find it little unease that I cant be in touch with him for the next 10 days. I am sure, he will be in the same case. More than that, I dont know how he is will bear the loneliness, silent and inaction. He has visited me and stayed with me for a week, few months back. That time I have seen the disturbance of away from his wife and kids. Now he is with a lot of unknown people, simply going to sit and meditate.  I dont know how he is going to bear this? it will be a totally challenge situation for him. Or is he going to like ? it will be away from all of us. no one to bo...

power of follow up.

Talking to my father is joyful event now more than ever. When I was working in a MNC, we used to a lot of this about life and business, but most of his business stories was bouncers to me. I could understand by word but used to miss the real sense. Working with MNC provided me a lot of fortune to me, I have developed my personality. It was more of a mechanical life.  there is a set process, you contribute to that and it has a system that will ensure all actions will contribute a common action. You find hard to recognise what was your contribution. If I want to hire a person to my team, send a mail to HR with job description. HR will arrange person in your meeting room for the interview. If I find him good, send my approval to HR for hire that person. All done. During this phase, when I talk to my father, most of this things were bouncers to me. He used to share his sales experience. Those were very enjoyable but I havent experience the context. After I moved to correct job. ...

Be like nature !!

Sad or happiness is the mother of an art work. Of course love has its role for a artist’s inspiration. Love is the reason for sad or happiness. Love can make you happy and see the nature and world around you in different way. You fell as if you are the only lucky person in this planet. You see beauty of flower, tree, mountains, river, and sea as if they are the synonyms for your love. You fell nature pour rain drops as the symbol to make you warm and happy. When you are sad, heavy rain with thunder make scared and it takes away things from you. Poets or artists see the nature different way.  On their happiness, nature is the best place to live. Otherwise it is the worst place the live. But nature has the beauty for way to react. Nature wont get flattered with love or its happiness or its sad. Nature follow its circle without bothering how people fell about it. Nature provided different climate as its order, sun comes out in the morning from the east to say a pleasant morning. I...

Some inspiration

I happen to watch an interview of Jude Anthany, director of a recent hit movie in Malayalam and acted in few movies. I could real feel the happiness of a successful man. who is ambitious and a dreamer who have achieved his milestone. He himself showcase as a normal person like any of us. He is an Engineer, worked with an MNC in bangalore. Even same thing happens with me, I had worked in MNC in Bangalore, grown up in Kerala. He was not a reader, when realised reading is important, he started reading. One of the book her read was 'Alchemist', even I read that. But he reached there and I am here sitting and writing this blog. He wrote script for a successful movie. and continue writing other movies. Is it the problem with destiny? he had the right faith to reach there? God knows. But there are some good stories in his interview. He passion to become a film maker and he has taken the risk to make a movie. He had put in all the effort to frame a story and gain confident to sh...

Stay in connection :)

Whatsapp groups are the new generation source of keeping friendship. The old friends are getting connected, the relatives staying different locations become more closer and stay in touch. There are a lot of forward messages pass through groups after groups. It is fun and time pass. The photos and video being shared each other. It help to see each other and getting to know the happening. These technologies keeping the connections. But the question here is - Are the relationships alive? Should we differentiate relationship and connections separate? few years back, when people are in touch, the often good relationship and trust was there. It was a trust and helping hand attached to people who are in touch. There was a bounding. Connection through whatsapp, I dont know if this relationship protected? I am not against whatapp connection. I am thinking about the gap already build between people. 

Qualities of powerful persons.

They wake up early in the morning... They know what they want... They say no... They read instead of watch TV... They dont care what others think... These are the characteristics of a powerful people according to an article I read recently. I think it could right because I find it very hard to do all these five points. I am throwing myself into this challenge to become myself a powerful person. I have to measure every day with these parameters and see, how far I have done justice to these fives points personally. I dont want to bring anyone else to measure me. Instead I am going measure and prove myself or accept the failure. As my Achan (father) always says, dont cheat yourself. I wont cheat myself. If dont follow this, it is the prof that I am not a powerful person. I have to build a purpose in life, that is to become a powerful person. The magic recipe for powerful person is nothing but the rightful mix of above five. I want to believe myself that and act accordingly in...

A joke I missed.

Last month I had attend my cousins marriage in Kerala. My in law's were there, a lot of from my family and social circle were there. One of my teacher also present, she taught me English in college. She was my English grammar teacher and our family friend too. Her son is my brothers best friend. I respect and love him. After long time I met here face to face. I was proud to introduce her to my mother in law. I told my mom in law that is my my English teacher. It is know fact to all that how much I hated or sacred of English. It was lovely talk. I was very happy to meet her and introduce to my Mom. That took me to my memory of my class room. This teacher, Usha Teacher used give me a special attention. Even though she knew that I am not very studious. In one class, said a sentence and asked me, what is tense of this sentence? The sentence was something like this, ' Ram will come home at 6 pm today' What is the tense of this sentence ? she asked me. I had no idea of...

Be like a water with a sense of discipline.

Be like a water, was my philosophy yesterday. I always wanted to be a flexible person too. I try to accept and do the way others in my life want to do. the questions is am I mentaly satisfied to be a flexible person. Yes, I am but when things are way beyond my style, I just react with words. Is it not really nice. I want to be silent and happy with my act. or I should have the ability to move things or inspire others to act the I want. Today morning we wake up late. My wife's back was aeching. reasonable thing. in the airconditioned room, even I could not awake up. I was lizing in the bed with my wife and daughter. when clock turn 8, I woke up and immediately got ready to work. That time, my wife was in the kitcken hurrying for the breakfast and lunch preparation. When I was a bachelor, I used to wake up late. But I used to make it office on time by skipping breakfast. Being loving wife, she did right. within the limited time, she prepared food. She asked me to grait coconut f...

Be like a water !!

'Be like a water', words from Bruce Lee. I have heard this from many people, I have seen few videos with this theme. Be like a water, when you pour water in to a glass, water becomes a glass. when you pour water in to a bottle, water becomes bottle. When you pour water in to a tea port, water becomes tea port. Yes, water have that miraculous skill of flexibility. Nature is a amazing teacher if you are a good observer. It good be the same with god's all creation. If we become like water, we will not come across any issue like anger, unhappiness or anxiety. This doesnt mean that you dont have to have a goal or a dream. You should have a plan but if that plan doesnt work, you dont have to demotivated. Without any sadness, you will choice something else come your way with happy face. when you enter in to discussion, you will be more of open for others thoughts and opinion. But always have a end result in mind, which should be progressive. Be like a water policy, ensure a...

Life lesson !!

I have got a chance to lesson to a TED from Mr. Deepak about 'life lessons'. When he was a child and now, he is very much interested to know the life lessons from others. This thought him a lot and now he is a life coach for different age group. It is great thought to understand others life lessons. yes, it is true that each one of us in this world has story for universe. if you look, your life as a movie or a book. Definitely you are the hero. you are the ultimate hero. Ofcourse to lead that story, you will have the courage and achievements. So definitely, you will have a life lesson too. I am thinking what is the life lesson of mine. honestly I am failing provide a concreate statement or a word. But being honest is my nature. trying hard for self improvement is also my nature. I wanted to be something more than who I am now. For that I know, I should disciplined, I should have a clear purpose in life, I should be focused, I should not get distracted, etc... Yes, I ha...

happiness !!

Marriage is the most beautiful feeling generally people go through. After marriage I am not sure, everyone go through the same feeling. On marriage day, you feel the person next you is the most beautiful or handsome person you have met. Same way, the most kindest, lovable and trustable person you have met. We try to show the more handsome look on that day. We decorate ourself to show that. in terms of character as well. Is it faking? on our happiest day, are we faking? I dont think. We are not faking but we are trying to be that handsome guy or most truested or most lovable or most kindest person in this planet. I can vouch again for the majority. We are being honest on that day of happiness. So on the happinest day, we all are happy, handsome, beautiful, kind, trustworthy and so on and so forth. But what hell, after marriage things are taking a turn? why are we not happy as our marriage through out our life?  yes, there is only one reason, we are inviting trouble and forget...

When Acha was a little boy !!

I started telling stories my little girl about when I was a little boy. I have shared stories of my little cleverness, my anger, my learning and so on. Some times she wanted to lesson my stories. But always she interfere and try to take about her stories in between. But if she is about sleep, she will have all ears to lesson. It is nice memory to me. I could introduce my relatives to her. She actually misses them because we stay away from hometown. So I show them in my wedding photos. Hope these stories and photos help her to connect. One she told the same story, When my Dada was a little boy !! She said with enthusiasm,  When my Dadda was a little boy, he grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and grow and become my Dadaa !!.

Thought for the day!!

being Indian is looks promising as of now... because we have good percentage of middle age people. new government has come in to power. other countries economy is shaking but we looks promising without much reasons. We have to go long way, the situation here is safe as of now, especially crude oil price is reduced in global market. it is really a good thing from India's perceptive. But is it really something majorly changed the citizen life? Equity market looks good. It is going new heights. But equity market is good up in other markets too. is there any real job created in India ? apart from any real promise, is there any economy shift happened? So many start ups are coming up in our country. are they really showing any real profit? no. There are e com companies are in talks. They are planning to show profit in next couple of years. A lot of technology companies are raising up too. The young crowd is started thinking about business than a MNC job. This mind shift is promi...

Relax !!

I love to be a knowledgeable person than a rich person.  Of course, I want money. No I crave and cry for money at my heart. But there is always a limit. That limit is not more than my more than a comfortable life for my family and a moderate charitable work. This is anyway not much. I am seriously in dry condition to absorb more and more knowledge. I want to read more and more books, listens to more and more audios to gain knowledge. Same time, I want to travel the world around me to learn and experience difference culture. I want to watch many movies and eat different food. More importantly I want to keep and mark in this world before I leave this beautiful world. I want to write a book, that book should show my life and wisdom. Since my life is easy so far my life experience is not worth to share. Since my life is light and easy, I haven’t gained much wisdom. Should I be complain about it or feel gratitude about it? Of course I am thankful. But why I feel like I haven’t...

Lets accept the Surprise !!

What is the quality of successful person? There are many elements come together to see the success in someone. I have seen greedy and conning people being success and leading a great life. In my career, I have seen people grow in the corporate ladder in supersonic speed as well as snail move. I have not been able to distinguish as certain character for anyone career growth.  There were people with nasty aggression promoted soon; the same role has shared by very passive people as well. Same with so called good hearted people, they haven’t not necessarily grown up the ladder as norms expected. But the people who deliver result with proper visibility have grown up the ladder. I wonder, what is ingredient to be a successful person? They should be good at heart. But the good at heart is always subjective.  My goodness may not be good for others.  One thing is for sure; it is being open for anything comes up and tries to do good for all is the best approach. Openness to...

We are should be feminist

We are should be feminist. This is announcement from a Negirian author Chimamanda Ngozi . My wife is so proud and motivated after listening her TED talk, my wife bought her book immediately. I got my credit card sms on Amazon purchase. I always hated the thinking of Feminist. The people talk about female empowerment. They mostly talk about the disadvantage they have as female, they wants to give more reservation for female, they wanted to extra meal for female. I am always against this topic because I had respect to my mother, sisters, my wife and other women. Important discussion at home always had my mother’s approval. I was always a mother child till moved away, and even now all my values are built by her. At my home, we always respect and love our ladies. This is the same thing I have always seen in my part of world. It is true that in my work place we had less women in management. This reason was simple; most of the women didn’t want to take up the tension because of their p...
