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!

WOMAN-THY NAME.....

Strong as a rock, emotions running deep as the ocean, patience of a saint, sweet as nectar, innocence that of a child, Mysterious like the universe, thoughtful and wise like a preacher, at the same time furious like the fire, anger like the volcano but above all someone who stands against all odds...This is no one but a WOMAN. As I was passing by I heard someone ask. Do we really need a special Day to celebrate for Women? I t can be taken in 2 ways. One—Maybe because she is special always OR in a note so positive form—Like Why do we need a special day for her? Don’t we already have so many days to celebrate?? Well, my take is...we have valentine’s day for people to express love –rather people who love each other, we have mother’s day, father’s day, May day so on and so forth. But, they are categorized for either a section of people OR for certain relationships.  I feel, Woman's day is a day that acknowledges the female gender, as a whole, irrespective of age, nation

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

invisible writer

It was just another dull, ordinary day.. a more or less a routine.. where one is programmed oneself and knows which task precedes the other… On such days we often feel there would be something exciting happening in our lives..  at least for a few minute. Maybe this was the day…. I stepped into office thinking the tasks to be completed and anticipating more tasks that would be piled up for that day…. Everything seemed normal as always…people greeted each other in between work. Some working seriously and while some were on a short break as they had arrived before our batch started working.. in shifts(night). no one knew what was in store ahead of us…we were planning the day’s work…I, as usual, switched on my PC and logged in. checked my inbox for a few new emails…. It was passed 1:00 a.m in the morning where one lives like they are on the other side of the globe. It was later then that I resumed my work…Was doing some updating of the work done before when the writer struc
