 Mostly stories have a villain and a hero, a good and a devil  It is scary and difficult to be there or see this kind of stories  Instead can’t we have only good characters in the story  It will be a plain and same taste story  That’s the story I want !

You have everyone  But no one to talk  Is it happening to all ?  Or it happening only to me ? What is it called ? Is it lonely ?  or is it jut a thought ? 

Self healing is good But is it harming anyone else ? Healing others is good But is it harming you ?  Healing self and others is good  But is it meeting a common place ?  Lets create a liberation for all 

Blue sky  Meant to  Restart  Beauty of sky  has the magic to heal you from any storm  Boost or heal No one can help but you and sky can help  Blue sky  Raises from the cloud  Rain and thuder Scares  Blue sky raises hope  Both has to exist  Beach  look anywhere  Enjoy the sky  Watching Sunrise  Is the best reason  To wake up early  Sky turned into dark but soon blue sky would appear

Money Flows through you If you keep a little and invest You will create wealth  Fear and greed is for all How we behave to it  Create our character  Others behavior anger you Their behavior depends on your vibe This knowledge, can create magic  

 If you teach too much, they will become good and look for better opportunity out side. My manager said.  If we dont teach them, they will stay in the same role untill we kick them out. Right?  Hey,  It is sad to see my people, not able to speak well in front of the crowd. I know, the same will reflect in front of our customers too. Communication is a skill, you need confidence and knowledge in their subject. This needed learning and as an organization, we have to arrange this facility to our team members.  I have asked my senior members to train on the subject on Saturdays. I have not received a positive feedback or result of doing this. I could clearly see, this learning everyone was taking as a added responsibility. Sitting in the training room we responsibility, the trainer who think that was any outstanding performance.  In our office, I always get confused as director, I want to bring result and I know, if you want result from your team. They should b...

 When the student is ready, the teachers appear !! Hey,  I have entered in to my first Toastmasters meeting, my corporate club Thomson Reuters TM club in Bangalore. Then president TM Murali welcomed me with warm smile and explained all the meeting procedures. During the meeting, I have noticed super energetic speakers. Even though I become the best table topic speaker. you know the trick. I become the member of the club. I thought I would take Murali's help to prepared speech, I found only Murali as a Patient and a elder brother feel. Thankfully, Murali got assigned my Mentor.  He understood my stregth and weakness, he used discuss only my strengths. He used correct my speeches and after the speech, I used to feel terrible. But he used to wake up to me and keep talking about the areas where I have excelled. Theat again, find a motivation for me to come back and deliver the next speech.  After my 6th speech, he understood that I become comfortable with Murali and when...

I could not learn that language. My cousin, didnt do anything, he just fall in love with Bangalore girl. They start talking and talking. My cousin started speaking fluent English.

What is the quality of a leader ?  A person should see the future, able to set a path and communicate to all, inspire all during the high and low times. For that leader should be a role model, open to accept different type people with integrity and respect.  Ladies and Gentleman, Do you think, a leadership be like a Bhahubali who can hit everyone and save his mother and country? Not necessary, leader can be anyone. There is no need of special type of style to be a great leader. If you look at any form of games you will able to see successful people doesnt have any particular look or color, all learders are unique.  I used to be a Kabadi player, during my college days.

Kabadi is an interesting game. 7 players each team, competing to score points. One member from one to go for a ride to other team. His j...

She couldnt even imagine, sitara enter the kitchen without a bath.  my mother couldnt stand with Sitara's lifestyle of thinking about waking up in morning at 11 o clock. Sitara walked to me and said that she cant bear the rules of my Mom.  Sitara's mother let her to be the way she wanted. why this lady wanted me to change, She asked. Her point of view, I understood. But I asked Situ to obey what my mom said. Situ shouded at me for not being at her side.  I spoke to mom and understood her anger. It's something she couldnt digest. Sitara likes to be free bird, didn't not want any rule for herself and for others sake. The fight has taken to big way. My mother, I have not seen this anger mode in my entire life, Situ started showing a change in her character after 11 years of marriage.  Still ...

What is the best way to manage Time?  You can't, instead manage yourself. Time in a day is fixed, 24 Hours for all. This is my discovery ! Ladies and Gentleman, Nature is a great teacher. He is so discipled, morning Sun rise in the east, evening set in the west. Same with seasons too Monsoon, Winter, Summer comes and goes as well planned. Every year passes as predefined and scheduled.  Can we learn anything from this behaviour of nature, we can manage ourself to cop up with time.  In this time of social media, we have a lot of distractions. We have our addictions and lack of concentraction to one goal always move us away from a disciplined life.  I had a time in Mumbai, I was putting on weight, gone out of shape and find lossing my enthusiam to work. Luckily, I have decided to run a 10K marathon and registered  for a run in 2 months. in one year time, wanted to run half marathon too. I have written clearly in my dairy. the timeliness and what are the practise pl...

Once someone asked me, Do you believe in Starsign ? yes, I am.  I have two stars.  one came to me and brighten my life  My Sitara, my love another one, came through us and  add colours to that brightness  My Nakshatra, My Sumani, My girl When these stars spotted at the right place I am at happiness  If not, I give my everything to bring them back to the spot they want to me. 

 It was 8 PM, I have completed my shift and running to catch my cab. I had to cross Bangalore Airport road, fully packed traffic. waiting at Zebra line with my friend, Geeta and others people. We had two buildings opposite each other. The cab services were only from our opposite building, main building with more employees work out of that building. There was a traffic policeman, trying manage traffic. Stopping vehicle and allowing pedestrians to cross the road. Our mail room boy, Micheal who was in his bicycle also trying to cross the road with us. Some reason traffic policeman got angry at Micheal and stopped him.  Pulled air from his bicycle tyre. It was unnecessary. Geeta pointed out to me to go and stop the policeman. I didnt help, Michael. Instead, forced Geeta to hurry up to catch the cab.  It disturbed me, through out my journey back home. Geeta had the courage to stop policeman and empathy to help Micheal. I didnt have any empathy. Why didnt I help?  It was m...

I asked myself, am I successful ? It was a tough question. As husband, I asked my wife. She said, still in progress. As a son, I asked my parents. Am I successful? My Achan said, Dont worry, you have a life a head. What does that mean? Ladies and Gentlemen, Success has many aspects. I asked my team members. They praised me, They have to as they report to me. I have asked to my partners, they didnt have an answer.  I sat down and thought, Am I really succeessful ? Some times I feel I am successful. Then after some times I feel I am too slow. I could have acheived all this much faster.  This made me think, Why am I taking a long time to acheive my milestones. I got my first promotion much faster because I was eager to learn and work. then I have slow down. My search for this reached at few chapters in the book - 'What got you here, Wont Get you there' by Marshal Goldsmith.  Mr. Goldsmith is an Executive coach and he worked with top executives in the world. He have found tha...

Ever since our daughter born, we all used to sleep together, my daughter Sumani, wife Sitara and me. When Sumani grow up, her twist and turn couldnt fit me in the bed. I had to do something as I was at the suffering end. Came up with the idea of having a seperate room for Sumani. She was scared initially, either of Sitara or me stay with her in bed till she sleep and come to our bed room. However, morning she used to complain that we made her sleep all alone.  When my daughter grow to 10 years, she wanted privacy and Sitara also needed privacy. Now, I have reached a situation where both ladies kicked me out of their bed and I am looking to set up my own room ! 

 Being stress free is a stress  Tried everything to be stress free  That add up the stress  Finally, left everything  Did nothing  Sit alone and slept  Feels better
