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...

I am You AND You are Me!

Have you ever thought about comparison? Something that is so easy to do but is highly complex in its form? As a Child and a growing adult, I detested being compared with anyone. I did not understand the reason.  I kept thinking, how can one be compared with another? It is often executed as if it does not matter and is done as a matter of fact! I never understood why it is even done... One thing I knew was how it made me feel. What implications it can have. Comparison is a mighty Tool. It often breaks one but at times builds the Craziest ones. The ones it builds end up repeating the "Compare cycle game" Comparison is not saying, you are not doing or studying or performing like the other person but it is also trying and striving to be like a "PARTICULAR PERSON"  Why do you want to be someone else? Be a Photocopy? Why not be YOU? I was often asked, "Who is your Idol? Whom do You follow?" My all-time answer would be "NONE". I say that because there i...

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 ...
