As alpha males (that's what it is called, right?), we tend to always live with a view that whatever decisions we take, will be understood and accepted by people with whom we have amiable relationships. While at certain instances, a male friend might always succumb to certain whims and fancies, thanks to the nature of friendship one maintains. I've always found the woman's perspective a little hard to digest in the beginning, yet on a larger scale it does actually make a lot of sense. Men have always lived to believe that the 'decision making' process belongs to them and whatever they come up with will make sense. The woman's perspective has been always appreciated, yet seldom taken serious. I really do not have to dig for examples to show how and why this happens, considering that I currently live in a country, where a lot of women sacrifice their lives and careers (voluntarily or involuntarily) to become full time mothers (absolutely, nothing wrong here!...

Ego in itself is a dangerous word. It shapes up into self-centralism and is detrimental to any person's life. Add the word 'Male' before that and you have a recipe for world disaster (well, almost) right in front of you.

Well, mostly Male dominance vs Female sensitivities. Some men take this topic seriously, like it is a matter of life and death, while some live in the present and go with the flow. I would like to assume that I belong to the latter, considering the fact that a lot of my professional endeavors are judged and rati...

Smartphones are contagious. They really get one involved so much; that you forget the real world. I have stayed clear of smartphones for close to 2 years, yet a month ago, returned to the bandwagon and I admit, haven't been able to find time for myself, ever since. Being constantly connected has its' perils and caveats. Caveats, in terms of not devoting a good amount of time at work and perils like, always knowing what people are up to online (Remember, stalking?). I have always enjoyed connecting with people online. The medium of the internet acts as an apt barrier which allows individuals to get connected, without really having to know him/her very well (Though I feel, this trend is changing as we speak.) For someone like me, who feels his abilities are a reflection of himself, yet tries to always keep a low profile, come what may, the Professional Social Media acts as a splendid opportunity to polish my skills online. Something close to my heart, these days are review...
