Pretty sure you've seen, heard and performed this ritual earlier! 
Go to Home screen, Click on Camera, Flip Camera, Adjust Flash, Pout or Twinkle, and Smile! One of those very normal methods to get a selfie, and define your presence at a particular instance of a day, or even night. 
Your schedule might be packed to the rafters, yet there's nothing like a Selfie to calm your jangled nerves down. 
By the way, I'm sure you've heard of selfies, groufies, and even Santa Fe, New Mexico; however have you seen the advent of the #workplace selfie? Right now you're thinking if that's a made up commodity, and does it particularly merit a mention? Well, it gets better!
The #workplace selfie well and truly exists. It's been around for a while, and I must tell you, it's growing as a trend. Many of my closest pals, and even cousins have this habit a clicking 2-3 selfies at the workplace, which helps them identify with their existence at the office/institution, and provide fodder for their social media activities.
I've identified a few trends that could help you click the perfect #workplace Selfie -
  • Pick your spot: Every office/institution has a perfect spot. This could be a cubicle, conference room, Chairman's office, etc.; which has possibly the best seat and picture perfect lighting for your selfies 
  • Dress to Impress: Clothes are essential, yet they become doubly essential, when workplace selfies need to be clicked. Don't forget to ask for help, if you'd like to have your complete outfit clicked, as a part of the workplace selfie ritual!
  • No Gender Biases: If anyone ever guffaws, calling #workplace selfie a 'chic' thing, whack him/her on the head, and give these people a reality check. Trends have it that, men and women are playing catch up with this #workplace selfie ritual. Ideally, it takes 3-5 clicks per session to get a selfie right; men take more. #ShareTheGame 
  • Pose like a Pro: While having an airy gait can be an advantage, striking the perfect pose is possibly the most important ingredient. It displays confidence, consistency and candidness of an individual, who loves this ritual day after day. Try the lean against the railing, high-thigh explorer look, the chocolate boy/girl smirk and the cross armed energized look. These are classics and never go outta fashion!
  • Sprout the Pout: Once again, let's be honest, this cannot be claimed as a women thing. I've seen mid aged, half bald men pouting, thanks for their kids telling them the importance of it in a selfie. Thanks to social media apps, these days filters, tiaras, dog wagging tongues and other silly or sensible filters can be added on to a regular #workplace selfie, to make it take a magical turn. Ain't that sweet, #dogfilter?
The #workplace selfie - A regular ritual in a regular corporate lifestyle, shared by millions of employees worldwide. This ritual sets the moods of employees, and can boost productivity among plethora of companies, thanks to this trend!
Well, well! The #workplace selfie seems to be going places, and quite rightly it should. Let's play catch up and set our watches to selfie-o-clock to click that fantabulous #workplace selfie! #IGotItRight

Grinding Your Thoughts

Photo on <a href="https://visualhunt.com/re/8dd097">Visualhunt</a> We all have a plethora of thoughts that cloud our minds over many hours of the day. These thoughts could be random, structured and multi tiered, based on the content that defines them. On a regular day, these thoughts could be about routines, tight deadlines and maybe even impending and future goals. What are thoughts? A simple opinion that occurs in the mind, due to deep thinking or possibly through an instant flash. The idea is generally to convince the mind that its worth delving deep into this concept. Educators and industry professionals in general have a very good way of assimilating their thoughts under one basket, using a grinding force in their minds. This 'grinding' isn't your regular stone crushing kinds one becomes acclimatized too, it's the mish-mashing of a plethora of thoughts that goes into keeping the mind ticking! Why should we grind those thou

In regularity, I have always come to believe that #optimism might take us all to the zenith of success, as were strive to find our individuality among the sea of curious humanity. But then, I was brought down to earth when someone told me, pessimism could be your actual bet to a life better lived! When did Pessimism cross the road? A pessimist is someone who you'd befriend on a regular basis. Chances are he/she has a skewed opinion at everything that happens and everything that breathes. The glass is half empty always, with no chance

Communal Imbalance in our society!

Cities coming to a standstill, leaders of right wing groups agitating mobs, who pelt stones at average people, just to create a tense situation and leave the social fabric tattered.  I'm not getting into details of why the clashes began, which was unfortunately incited during the celebration, or commiseration of the  Battle of Koregaon , 200 years ago. One section of society calls it their  watershed moment , while the other call it a  loss of sheen moment  for their ancestors.  Such was the difference of opinion between these two sections of society, which
