Imagine a scenario, where your worked for a client presentation. On the D-day the presentation goes very well, and the client is really happy with you. So happy that infront of other board members he gives you a tip of Rs.500 saying he loved your presentation. Your reaction???? How will you react?

Well if can take the liberty of speaking on behalf of most of us, i will feel isnsulted. Coz wat we used to is appreciation coming our way in a professional manner- by an award, by appreciation mail, by promotion etc. Not by handing over a TIP!!!
We do our job like a professional and expect same amount of professionalism from others., and by giving a tip we feel insulted

If we all agree to the above view, then why many of us land up giving tips to artists and in the process unknowingly insulting the artist??
Incase people are wondering where has this come from? here is the background-
I went to a grand resturant for dinner with family. Here there was a group of musician playing instuments like- sitar, tabla, and santoor. No doubt they were awesome, they just put life in the quite environment., They were so good that no one was talking all were peacefully enjoying the music. All was fine..until one mad man took my attention, where he just stood up n slipped a 500 ko note to the group. He was crazy, i cant forget the expression on the lead musicians face. He was by no way pleased to have the tip, he was annoyed.

This is wat triggered this post.
Why cant we respect people for their jobs, why do we have to neccesarily have to give a tip to show our praise. People might feel great with the thought of helping them by extending monetary help , but please do realise in the process you land up hurting poor man's sentiments.
These musicians etc are employeed with the hotel, they get their salaries. Why do we have to give them a tip??
I am sure their must be a different school of thought to my opinion as well, but my dear friends this is wat i feel. And I wish , that ugly man some days gets tip from his boss, so that he gets a taste of his own medicine.

Why?? and when??

There is so much running in my mind, that I don’t really know what to do? It’s been a long time, I had a sound sleep. People ask me , am I sad?? But my question is, is not being happy the only reason for not being at peace? There is a constant fight going on inside, fight of thoughts, fight of views. These internal fights are amazing , as you never seem to have the privilege of victory.
I wish I could speak my heart out to someone, but I feel it will not make sense. I feel I should write it down , but again am not able to hold myself for long doing it. I sincerely want to do so much, but just cant. People say thought is important, how come in actual life actions become more important than thought??

I can spend hours thinking about life, but can life spend a minute thinking about me????

Expectations- a door to Frustration!!

Why do people expect things from their near n dear ones?? Infact from any one for that matter?? If u see half of life's problem will be solved if we stop doing this. Children don’t spend time wth parents- parents are upset, husband doesn’t get gifts – wife is upset, kids dnt get admission in college- kids are upset….you plan for an outing and ur friend ditches u last minute- u r SAD.

All is just related to this one word – EXPECTATION.
Why cant we just let life be the way it is- I mean give your best and leave the rest. Why it has to hurt you every time when your dear ones don’t give you wat u want??

Well yes I am completely convinced today, that its absolutely wrong to expect something from someone?? Its like cutting a fool of urself…..

It doesn’t nessesarily has to be a big expectation…even smallest of thngs can make u feel like a looser…

Actually its all mind game…u expect ..u make plans…u start thnking…n then in one jolt all is gone…for a thing for which u mite have spend days thking…will have to go in a flash of a second and suddenly the mind doesn’t stop processing it. So it hurts!!

I remember once some one telling me - the key to happy life is not to expect. I wish I cud adopt this, n follow it fully. Everytime it happens,…the poor heart has to go thru all ths pain…

Well it’s not just wrong but a crime to expect something?? Atleast for your own sake , get this into your lifestyle - and dont expect !!!

Questions and more questions...

Don’t know what to do in life…..u feel things are out of your control….u think u cant take this anymore…..

We all have been in these or similar situations. We all go thru phases in life wen we r just about to break down…what one does in these situations???

More importantly why does even one has to go thru these…why cant we all have a mutual agreement with God ji – neither u trouble us nor we shall trouble u..

A simple and peaceful life is what one looks for….why suddenly one day we wake up to realize that we have complicated it…..

There are probably too many questions with just one answer….DESTINY

Destiny my friend is the answer to all questions. We all agree, that all of us have a story- in form of a life. I wonder at times , …man who has written so many stories?? Must be real creative one for sure….who other than “ bhagwan ji” must have done this Herculean task. I have heard people saying that every 5 people in this entire world have similar life story. GOD knows its true or not. Did GOD wrote all our stories together?? Or is he still writing?? Because if he is still writing we can ask him to tweak it a little na J Bollywood wasn’t then nether Ekta Kapoor– else God would have got some real cool ideas. Is that story writing factory still on..or the new generation is repeating any of our forefather’s story?

Inflation!!!!

Inflation reaching two digit figure..has taken every one by surprise, everyone is tensed over this overshooting commodity prices…its not normally that the economy bleeds like this.

But how do suddenly prices rise?? With my limited knowledge, I can attempt answering this.
Firstly prices don’t rise abruptly, we need to understand the cause behind this..Reason less supply and more money.…This is how we define inflation “ too much prices chasing few commodities” . i.e people have a lot of money to spend but the supply of goods and services not showing similar trends. The easy personal loans, low interest rates., the easy availability of car and white goods with EMI option etc..all raise the purchasing power of the economy….this is an ironic situation for only 14% of the families spend 15k or more on household expenditure and 38% is in the bracket of less than 4k a month. So who is actually having a high purchasing power?? The resources are concentrated in hands of Few Individuals – i.e how Poverty defined in Economics

Neways now with measures such as high Repo rate and CRR, what RBI is trying to do, is getting the excess money supply in place. Increased CRR and Repo rate will ensure banks lending capacity go down, and thus we will see the increase in PLR. All these will take time to get back the things to normal. All these will also impact the foreign inflow of cash in the economy. The stock market currently looks very depressing but it will bounce back.

Lets hope things get back to some shape soon….

I am Back!!!

Hello everyone, yes I am back!!

Back from - hectic times, vacation, confusion, frustration, depression and passion :) Have been writing a lot for past couple of months, but was unable to post it on blog.

Ne ways....let me talk about the latest thing fascinating me the most - its the Delhi Weather.

I don't remember seeing summers being so cool. Everyday seeing the cloudy sky, the drizzling, at times heavy rains is just so much fun . It happened thrice with me and my family- we left home for having dinner outside. Everything is just fine, no remote signs of rains or storms....BUT the moment we step out we are greeted by thunder storms and heavy rains.... I wonder at times whether GOD giving us signals of not increasing any more kilos and refrain from eating outside. But as I have my filters right in my head , comfortably ignore God's deary message .

The toughest time you have in such weather is working in office. The weather outside directly affects your work productivity at office. The studies of " RIAS" i.e Ruchi Institute of Advanced Sciences shows in cloudy or rainy weather, the body releases a special enzyme which provokes you to go outside and may be hazardous in case you work. But unfortunately no company subscribes to this view and employees are left wanting more.
But still no cribs..this summer is the best I have seen in my life...it feels i am in Bangalore or Pune.
I love my Delhi even more !!!

" Men will be Men"

Disclaimer- This article might not be liked by some of my male friends. Please read at your own risk.

Why is it so difficult for males to accept rejection/defeat/ NO???? I just fail to understand.....
I had this amazing stint with so called " Male Ego"" Trust me all this while I had just heard about it and used to think this exists only in movies. A guy who was all praises and love for a girl..suddenly finds her the ugliest woman in town...his frustration is high to such an extent that not only he is ignoring the girl but ...making all possible attempts to make her life miserable.

I am personally very annoyed with this version of "men". who loves to be in some dream world of their own. They have full freedom to make their own choices, flirt wth 100 females...but wen it comes to marriage they take thr picks very smartly. They will finalise a girl wth all possible qualities- looks, education, character, nature, salary, sense of humor.....n then decide on a "target". And feels the moment they will approach a girl, she will jump off her feet to come to him. And that there is no option with her to say NO.

My suggestion to all such guys please do a lil bit of analysis- to see where u fit in w.r.t event 50% of criterion u set for the other party.....
