It's always been a dream to find and make good friends. Genuine people are hard to find, yet in a world of cut-throat competition, it is pleasantly surprising to find a pal who makes shares the same vision and zest for life. I consider myself lucky to have met a sweet lady who's opinions are worldly and possesses no inhibitions about people. It culminates from the fact that she has seen the world and doesn't make or keep any particular opinion about any individual. Allowing people to live the way they want, without imposing any particular principle on them is relatively new for me, though I have always allowed people to live their life on their own terms, Everyone enjoys trying to impose their values and cultural ethics on others. This is a sort of 'brain-washing' that does lead to some issues down the line. My new friend mentions about learning from every moment of life and staying calm during adversities. She claims that being patient rather than docil...

It's been a while since I posted a blog of substantial content value. Time has been a constraint (cliche!), yet I do promise myself to find time to do so regularly (yawn!). Being in a dynamic field like Marketing and finding yourself around a team, dominated by women can be challenging and at the same time, a great learning experience. The women in my team bring a different perspective to everything they approach and it does help me in refining my 'male' thought process, though I have been ridiculed by a lot of my 'male' friends about my choices and 'not-so-hunky' behaviour. I have enjoyed and respected being among women, who I consider are greater teachers, philosophers, guides, acquaintances and mentors. Yet, there are times when opinions may vary. One opinion, I have always had is that women forget the 99 times a man has been nice to them and keep hovering around that one moment, when he loses his cool and always find the apt opportunity to constant ...

It's been over 4 months since "Ennui' crept into my workplace (read nomadic workstations) and I must admit, the state of ennui has become too much to take. As an employee associated with the Sales and Marketing Support Team, the possibilities of supporting multiple teams, visiting new locations where company offices are located internationally and working meticulously to meet targets to market products/services are endless. Yet, being tied to a seat and having zilch access to any sort of substantial work can really make an employee think twice about his capabilities. With my current team totally oblivious about their support members like myself in remote locations like India supporting the Americas, it is totally uninspiring to come into office and 'spend' hours over the laptop. To keep myself going, earlier I used to proactively call up clients to build relationships in lieu of them looking out for our company's support in the near future. Later, I realized...

There have been some instances in the past few months since the dawn of the New Year 2014, that I have realized I need a new purpose in life. 6 months of this year have just sped past me and honestly there has been no actual value add professionally and personally. Well, I sort of consider that work has become absolutely mundane and  life has become stereotypical, in the sense that I just walk into office to complete my hours and spend weekends lazing around with absolutely no interest in activities I would have pounced upon couple of years ago. I have heard and read of the situation called 'Quarter Life Crisis' and I admit this is definitely a phase closer to that. Either I need a change or I definitely must manufacture one the give me a better purpose of life. Considering the fact that I borderline between an extrovert and an introvert and my confidence level is the only entity that keeps me alive, I would love to contemplate a career move which would allow me to explo...

Hello Bloggers, I have been consuming Fast Food for over a decade now and I can safely say, it's a 'decent' alternative to satiate those hungers pangs, that knock into your system during scheduled consumption hours. When Fast Food actually became a rage in the early 1990s, people swore by it and it was consider in vogue to be goring on those delicious burgers and bread crumbs coated chicken, while topping it up which a particular brand of Cola. This is just couple of examples related to Fast-Food and I'm sure there are multiple options to support the industry. Personally, I must admit I have always loved the available options in Fast Food and remember pushing my folks to order a Take-away / Dine-In in the fancy outlets. The feeling of eternal bliss while consuming those juicy treats is unparalleled and something I always looked forward to. Since the past couple of years, I've suddenly grown totally averse to eating Fast Food. There are no radical menu chang...

Hello There, It's been years since I blogged and I guess I must apologize for being away all this while. There has always been a constant urge to blog, yet somehow life itself seemed to keep me busy / engrossed in varied matters. My last blog dated May 07th 2008, was written at a time when I had that positive feeling that things were shaping up for the best. I must admit, I was very much in my student phase and was looking for a new meaning towards my life. I'm really glad these last 5 and half years went by, very well and I realized a lot of my dreams, made my folks proud of my academic achievements and have a got a decent leeway into the corporate world. Now starts the new challenge. Currently, at my job, I feel I can put myself to use in a much better manner, somehow I'm yearning for the exposure I've always wanted, in order to see the world and interact with people from varied cultures. It's time I take some firm decisions and chart a suitable course ...

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted a blog of some substantial information. Well, let me first tell all of u, that I'm actually bloggin since i saw Amitabh Bachchan gettin into this bandwagon of bein a blogger.Personally, there's been quite an improvement in my life, coz of which I'm thoroughly elated. I'd rather not mention facts & figures, but yes, one thing for sure, am feeling much better about myself, I'm having a go at things, which of course I never did before, thereby giving myself the chutzpah to carry on strongly. I'm just hoping to finish the extended 2 years of my career scope without any more blips & pursuing a dream of mine in the world of media. Out of nowhere, a sense of being strong, determined, positively will powered & being a man for every moment has sprung up from within myself. I feel I'm getting good at understanding myself in & out. Concluding for the moment & hoping for better things ahead, I'll k...
