Your work talks for you..

Many a time, you need to talk of your work!

This holds true for this two-some world.. where you always walk on a thin line

Five years is a good block of time to capture something meaningful of the trajectory life has taken. I sat down to think whether I have really achieved some thing, and recount what I have done so far – as a person, professional and a social being!

The blog is sticky as of now..

Hope all is well with you readers!

I’m back after weeks of hibernation with a thought that struck me a couple of times.. an answer to what we/i do everyday? And here are my two cents,

I want an easy life.. so I work hard for it!

When you are a teenager, you have time and energy but no money

When you are a working young man, you have money and energy but no time

When you are old, you have time and money but no energy!

haa…haaa that’s the irony of life   BTW, this is a quote from a fable.

Our eyes, ears and all senses awaken when put into a new environment. A picture of a cautious mouse peeping out of a hole, popping it’s eyeballs crosses my mind. Doesn’t that look humane? At such times, we become quite wary, evaluating every action of ours and that of every person that we see

But humans are different! As Emerson puts it “What you do is so loud that I can’t hear what you say”. There are gestures that give out the true intentions of people. Psychological signals?! Conversely, we give out as much as we read in others The best can spell out what they actually want to and all their psyches shout out the same thing! There’s no discordance whatsoever amongst the faculties that expose them. And then they read out as much from others.

Did the Art of War tell there are ‘Signals everywhere’? In both war and love, this is one rule to follow.

This is a piece you might want to laugh at!

I’ve had to keep saying ‘it’s less painful to be true/honest’ while in a fit of quandary.. and that has always left me happier and at times has also left me with a small sense of accomplishment

A friend of mine, puts it funnily.. ‘People take a lot many steps to cover up a lie than to be true’! The momentary lies create discomfort, cause embarrassment in the long run and more than anything make one seem smaller.. ouch! Isn’t it a good idea to avoid all such tension and be happieee?

Well, someone said it earlier.. ‘Honesty IS the best policy’

** A contesting theory would be ‘When truth is damaging, choose to be right’.. ( I agree )

This is in a RAW form, peppy nevertheless.

The longer you wait to take action, the “heavier” things tend to get on the list. But when we sit our butts down, and just start, just take that first bite and sit back to chew and swallow, that the whole plate gets eaten pretty fast.

And we wonder why we wasted all this time, being hungry. When we could’ve just sat down and feasted. So if you have been waiting to start, the time is NOW!

Thanks to whoever said this!

Listened to this one after a long time…

You can be mother
When you are a man,
Open up…
You know that you can… (the Nescafe Song)

It, for sure has a point worth pondering!

Is this some watchword you should know?

Sustainability is often viewed as a CSR [''Corporate Social Responsibility'] activity, which I contend need not be (agree this is not an outrageous finding ). CSR is about giving back to the society where an organization can contribute a share of its wealth for a cause, involve its people in social initiatives, etc., and these would improve the image of the organization in public’s eye. A CSR activity may not bring in a tangible benefit, but it gives a great degree of satisfaction to the participant.

Whereas Sustainability is simply the potential of an organization, person, thing or whatever to sustain beyond ‘what?’.. the first smart brilliant idea that created your identity ‘U’ – from success to success, from failure to crisis to success and on and on. It’s organic! Reminds me of ‘Built to Last’ and ‘Survival of the Fittest’ ‘Continuity’ is a simpler word.

In order to sustain, one should innovate, think ahead, build efficiency and keep one’s eyes wide open. One of the best ways to do this is to assess the impact of every action on the society and make every action/relation mutually beneficial.. a win-win. For example, when I buy a car, I should try not to add to the pollution.. this is irreparable damage and I would pay for it in some way. In a Business World article, Indira Nooyi mentions this in a nice way – Lays chips manufacture requires agriculture produce in large-scale.. that’s the raw material. PepsiCo helps farmers by improving yield and income. Being good has its benefits and there’s the connect!

By being efficient, by making lives better and by being Good you too can add to your bit of  ‘Sustain- ablity’.. can’t you?

Behind every electric Reva car is a message.. “Your Kids will thank me!” Nice

Eco friendly cars and scooters are more than a fad these days. I can buy courage from such vehicle owners to leave behind few comforts for a good cause.
Besides, car pooling is another interesting concept that’s catching up.

Time to Ec(h)o!
