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!

The Awakening Call..

It took in a lot of effort to write this article. Not because it was difficult to write but did not know from where to start. There were so many unanswered questions that were going on in my mind. Dignity, self-respect, confidence, hope and a zeal to live life against all odds is what adds value to mankind and makes life worth living. At some point of time, all these value-adds are at stake. It makes things more difficult when it is hurt and dealt at random with no fault of the person, but is hurt due to certain horrendous acts. One of such is hurt and insulted in the recent days that made headlines which shook the entire nation. This, in turn, started getting diluted politicized on a large scale and on a personal note—became the fight of the sexes  Why do we always wait for such a terrible thing to happen which becomes an awakening call? Makes one realize that the society that we live in is so 2 sided that it can take it and live with it if it goes unnoticed and su...

The inner conflict

TO BE OR NOT TO BE- is phrased by Shakespeare in one of his plays-Hamlet. The everyday line for day to day life series is TO DO OR NOT TO DO.   The duality of the mind, the flip-flops of thoughts, the space between the doing and the undoing seems to have captured the souls of every individual. We are usually caught up in-between actions, words, gestures either with oneself or another. Human beings are social animals but are still animals in our own ways.   We love to please all and want to be in good books of all expect one IMPORTANT PERSON- Own self. This is the first step of conflict. A conflict with oneself. The conflict of the outward self with the inward self.   It is a pull and push mechanism. The inner self wants to push the outward self in loving oneself and the outward self is pulling away from listening to it. We resent ourselves from listening to our inner self. We fail to act its way. The reason could be, because we know it does not manipulate or ...

Isn't it just a NUMBER!!!

Age? Have I heard it right? I would want to give this age stuff  a food for thought. What is the fuss all about? It seems to be all normal and happy going with the number twenty. Come thirty and there starts the slight panic button and forty-all hell breaks loose. May be it works differently for both the genders. For men, life can start at forty and for women it can either start or cease. In today’s times, looking at the way things have changed everyone is into tricking their bodies to look young and hide that age. As if, it is a taboo or maybe a concept of looking young forever. This age thing too is tweaked and has its side of hypocrisy. This so-called age does not come in the way when one gets into a relationship or has to achieve goals in life or starts to live life all over again. It becomes a number and nothing more than that. This age becomes an inspiration and an example for others to follow. It becomes a source of positive and courage.   On the ot...
