The E- word..


When we are kids, we want to be a part of the grownups world. We feel it is so cool. They get to do whatever they want, live, speak their mind out and as children, have so many restrictions.
The tables turn the moment we experience the grownups world. We crave going back in time to being kids all over again.
As we grow up we realise it is a messed up world.
Everything comes with a price and of course! There is no free lunch.
There is also something about the grownup employment world. The most dreadful word. This word crumbles your life apart or at least your work life apart.

Escalation is the word! Though the synonyms can be used as per the context but in the job world, it is the least anyone wants to go through...

It often accompanies dissatisfaction, lack of skills, incompetence of handling things at work and much more!
Coming to think of it, and if we rewind our lives, does it not strike us, that it is something that has been a part of all our growing years?

The word in simple words means, "the person taking the same problem/task/issue to the next level in anticipation of getting it done or accelerating it".
Haven't we be dealing with this all our lives? Friends, parents, teachers, siblings trying to aggrevate things from one level to another..just that we were not aware of the word..

In the business world,there is a lot at stake conjoined with the word but so it is otherwise as well..

Humans should have been escation shields and a pro by now (on the lighter side) but still we are trying to build a shield around us and at times take it personal than thinking rational.

I at times think, the entire world is operating in an escalation mode. Everyone is running from one to another, then comes the final point of escalation--GOD.
We don't even spare the ultimate power! Oh, God...

Complaining you may call it but it is a milder version of escalation. I didn't realise, till I thought about it.
The initial reaction is disturbance, dissapointment, and panic. The next to follow is the question, Now What?

Very few will think of reasoning it out, finding a solution, and learning from it.
It is a part of life and newer ones will emerge as we move forward in life.
Key to it is deal with it and move On!

A Writeup-From one woman to another

Yet another year and we hit 8th MARCH-INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY.   This day is observed to celebrate the women achievers in various fields across the globe devoid of economic, cultural background, religion, race, or nationality. Initially, it kicked off in 1909 in US from a labour movement in North America wherein the women workers protested against the working conditions. From then on, it emerged from being from just fighting for working conditions to considering and working for women rights across the globe for various reasons. This day is also known as United Nations day for women rights and International peace. Women and peace on the same day? I have this kind of reaction as I’ve usually heard that women are non peace makers. Wars are fought because of a Woman. Families are fallen apart because of the Woman. The Epic Ramayana and the Mahabharata happened because of a Woman. Let’s have a look at these events known in Hindu Mythology. Had Sita-in Ramayana not bee...

EXCLUSIVITY: Let's talk about It!

  This is going on in my head for sometime🙂and in fact for days! It started working more in my thoughts when I started reading the Book- "The Book of a Woman" by OSHO. I was trying to understand his thoughts and what he had to say in his book. He has not spoken about uniqueness in a manner I think of it but it gave me a perspective to work on my line of thinking. HERE IT IS! Relationships come with a mix of blending together, possessiveness and expectations. Relationships also wither because of the same reasons and more. When you have any kind of close relationship( Friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband or a colleague whom you relate to, parents, siblings) exclusivity gets in. In the sense you want that space in his/her life and in their thoughts and heart like none occupy. I am not saying special treatment but one does not want to be with that person like "one among the rest" but do not to give that piece of themself to anyone else. Does not mean you don...

1996-A Summer Afternoon

It was a summer afternoon. I was going through my college photographs, wishing those days were back and time would just stop there. How Nostalgic...The mere thought of it would bring an instant smile on my face. I was lost in thought when I recollected one of those adventurous trips that we had on one such summer afternoon. We friends would love to explore different places during our graduation.Those were fun filled days..no stress, no tension (except exams and project completion not to deny). Those were the days when we just wanted to be in the open...with nature...Do what we feel is right and just not bothered about the rest of the world. As said by someone time doesn't wait for anyone and does not come back. We set off to a nearby place at first.This is in the southern state of India with its mystic beauty and full of valleys and greenery.A sight that would take any one's breath away...On the way back..we found a fishery.They would breed fish there.We thought of explo...
