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...
