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!

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...

A Seaful of Emotions

good morning everyone…. A bright morning, a good thought, birds chirping and the sun welcoming everyone to lead another day with hope and believes, experiences and determination to fulfill the task unfinished… I was basically thinking about nature in its complete beauty and was lost in thought imagining myself on a seashore….one must be wondering..early morning thinking about nature….without a reason….yes, without a reason..as such thoughts don’t require a reason and time.Why seashore…simple…I love the sea….i love watching it…I felt so much of a resemblance of it with human emotions and nature.the sea by nature is vast..and deep just like the way our emotions run deep and they are vast.. It is full of mystery, adventure..It is calm, wild, notorious, playful,welcoming,giving away everything that it takes, generous, protective at the same time destructive and divine… It's as if divinity is in its soul..is in it is the mystic beauty..it is this soul which makes it pure and humble...

M-M-U-M-B-B-A-I

A city full of opportunities or a city full of dreams…some fulfilled and some unfulfilled. A city that give one so much but takes a lot away from one self.. A place where one will find living souls in numbers but yet so lonely…. A city which is so much close to the heart but yet so distant… A Small universe in itself that would drive anyone crazy…. A place where you find stars glittering on earth… The only city in the country that is always wide awake and no sleep. A rush that wherein one can easily be lost forever and never found. A maddening crowd that always has a smile but eyes ever in search of something…. Eyes that are longing for unknown,the lost dreams,saddening and weary…. A city which is ever helpful in need like a true friend at the same time is a complete stranger…. A metropolitan wHere one has time for everything but still no time for oneself….. This is the Mumbai that i saw and felt through my eyes and soul… At such times is when i remember …. YE DIL HAI MUSHKIL JEE...
