Re-Building Successful Relationships

Sure there are plenty of other fish in the sea; but you're not anywhere near the sea. You're in the desert. Alone. I am not sure how many of you feel so, but when i come back home from my office, such kind of feelings really surrounds me. There are lot reasons behind those feelings. How many classmates do you remember from your 10th standard? How many classmates of 10th standard you are still in touch with? Lets us leave 10th standard because many of us thinks that 10th standard is quiet way back in the history. How many classmates do you remember from your Graduation? How many classmates of Graduation you are still in touch with? Still having difficulties in remembering their names & faces, let me make it more easy. How many classmates do you remember from your Post-Graduation? How many classmates of Post-Graduation you are still in touch with? Oh you still remember few of them, Great......so let me move little further........ How many colleag...

How to bring SMILE :-) when it is difficult to?

Its been longtime since i am writing this blog, there are reason when i write a blog..................Most of the time when i am happy & feel like smiling, i immediately jump on the blogger site to write my set of stories. A day before yesterday, i was so tired & was feeling very sad. Most of the time when i am sad, i try to go near by a market or a shopping mall that really delight me......I was just sitting at Subway restaurant with my Foot-long veggie delite thinking about - Why is it difficult to smile? When you feel that it is really difficult to smile everything seems to you very irritating, jokes looks like foolish, people looks like enemies, you want to be all alone, you don't get delighted with any big or good news........The same feelings are all around me, i am feeling difficult to smile, even there are lot of reasons to smile but yet my face is empty.................

Sorry.............Is it hard to say it???

There had been lot of occasion in the past where i found difficult to apologize my friends for my mistakes, realizing the mistake is fine but saying the same to your friends is very difficult, because ego comes in-between. I lost couple of good friends for all such reasons. Recently i had a chat fight with one of my close friend & i gave a thought on our fight, i realized that i was wrong & during fight i blamed my friend with all nuisance. Blaming is never good for any relationship, if you are doing so..........you are breaking the trust of your friend & after this your friend will lose the confidence in you  &will try to avoid talking.  Good Relationships are like  adhesives, it increases the cohesiveness & bonding. It really require extra care to ensure that this bonding last long................................... Here i went through following questions after i realized my mistake: Why apologizing is so im...

The Power to Change-----------------

The leadership Grid Seminar: 12th - 15th Apr.10 Last week was pretty hectic, we started from Delhi on 11th Apr through Rajdhani express & reached right on time at Hotel Satkar, Thane where our training program was arranged. This was first training program where we had been given pre-work to be completed from home before coming to the seminar. Training batch consists of 20 members, team members were mixture of young & old. I knew hardly 10members out of the group. This was a good chance to know more about the members i don't knew. All members were divided into three teams - Green, Blue & Red. I belonged to Red Team. The entire seminar cum training program was split into four days & each day there was lot of class room work book sessions, where each team had to study the leadership pattern in their group & at the end of the seminar, leadership grid was analyzed for the entire group. Here are the Major Leadership Grid's with their nature & beha...

I'm THE BOSS.......No Questions & No Arguments

When I started my career in 2004 with a small organization, my thoughts on the subject Boss was pretty different. My Boss at that time was Rahul Bose, he was the Design head……Our department was so cool, although there were two more people who use to work along with me, one of them was textile designer & other was product designer. Being my first company, I was always punctual with my timings whereas my other colleagues including my boss were very casual with their timings. I was working as a packaging designer for their overseas & domestic products.  Rahul was pretty cool as a boss as well as a person. Most of the times we all used to sit together & have our morning coffee with the songs of Bryan Adams, Enrique or Robbie Williams on our Media player play list. I had never expected such a cool environment ever.  We had everything in our desktops whether its yahoo messenger, rediff bol, Gtalk.   I didn’t knew a,b,c,d of the deigns which I got to know wh...

When a father looses his self respect.............

Winters were in the verge to end & spring was going to start..........This is the time when i was living with my friends Anshu & Arnab at Lajpat Nagar, its been very tough time travelling every day from Delhi to Gurgaon & then coming back in the evening. I use to start from Delhi by 7:45am & by 9:00pm i reach back. It was a Saturday & saturdays were always good due to less traffic & chaos. I reached early that day & was sitting on my room chatting with Arnab. I got a call - it was unknown number from area code - 0120, i thought for a while, its from either Noida or Ghaziabad. I picked up the call & the person on the other side said - Namaste Son, I am JOJO's Father. JOJO is one of the live stories of my life, which turned me upside down which made Year 2007 as deadliest. Will blog the full coverage of this story separately.  Jojo's Father voice was looking like a person who had been lost everything in a battle & was almost about to cry o...

Festival of Colors

The main day, Holi, also known as Dhuli Vandana in Sanskrit,also Dhulheti , Dhulandi or Dhulendi , is celebrated by people throwing coloured powder and coloured water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. I would be around 11years old & till that time Holi was a festival of horror for me, as i hardly use to move out from home in the fear of colors................In true sense, colors are very much part of our life, it unites people from every creed, color, religion & culture..........It is such a lovely festival to be enjoyed...........Colors represent different moods of your life..........Playing with ...
