What ISHA has done and still doing to me?

Date: April 09, 2014: Let me tell you from the onset that Isha has done nothing that I can show. It has been a kind of inner transformation, a very slow and subtle process. Still, I will try to tell here, what Isha has done to me in about 1.5 years of my relation with it.

Isha has expanded my thinking. I now understand people, see beyond their personality…….I am able to relate to people. I think I have a better grasp/understanding of life now. I have started looking and appreciating at nature’s small-small miracles…...It feels like, from finite, I am becoming infinite. I am breaking my limitations, dropping them one by one. Now, I do what is needed and not what I like. Now I see life in a different way.

Also, Isha has infused devotion in me. And, it has taught me what stillness is. It has taught me humility. Now, I have no problem in bowing down in front of anything or anybody. Isha has given me patience and tolerance. I am able to better control my emotions. My ego is going down, I would not say that my ego has disappeared, but yes, it is going down. “I” is reducing in size and “We” is growing…….

I can say that education taught me how to make my living, Isha taught how to live. Many valuable lessons. Don’t know how to thank!

Importance of culture for an organization

Date 13 March: Most important asset of an organization is its culture. People come and go, products come and go, but culture remains. Second most important asset is its employees. It is the people who make an organization.

One can take away the organization’s employees, its products and its competitive edge, but culture is something that is deep rooted. If the culture remains intact, the company can start again from the scratch and reach wherever it wants.

The responsibility of maintaining the culture across the organization lies with the managers of the company. But, if the leadership of a company meddles with the culture, then that company, for sure, is doomed.

JAT: Just another thought.....

may 14, 2013

ok. here is a good thought that I would like to share. The thought- “people are not good or bad. They are just different. We call those, who are like us, good and those who are not like us, bad.” It is a simple but effective statement.

a drop of success! when??

May 02, 2013

Demotivated, depressed, disappointed with myself, without confidence, f***** up, that is what I am right now. why? because my career is stalled. but…..wait, wait, wait… this fact should not and cannot stop me from enjoying life. Why shud I let my shitty career destroy even my one second. I am not going to get the life again…………….YEAH YEAH

I failed in my mba pursuit, did not get promotion for five years , got ok rating during this year, am working with an inhuman boss. How many times does one fail before getting a drop of success.

My first social impact project

    My first social impact project

Let me begin this post with a thought.I hear that india’s biggest problemis its population. I say that population is  not the problem, unproductive population is. It is like we have 125 crore machines and we are saying that this inventory is the the problem, if we talk in business sense, we are essentially saying that we have nmore machines/inventory that’s why we do not progress…….India’s biggest strength is its 250 crore hands.

March 18 2013, I got a phone no. of cantonment Board employee and requested him to clean the site. Next day, I passed by the site and saw that the site was unchanged and full of garbage.

It seems that municipal corporation employee Sudarashan has not understood the exact site that I requested him to clean. He has asked me to meet him on Saturday March 23 in Gandhi hall to discuss what and how of cleaning up.

March 24: By the time I reached Gandhi hall, Sudarashan had already left. I met his second-Balakrishna. Bala promised to clean the site by 30^th March. I asked him that we have to make sure that the site remains so once the cleaning is done.

Followers, Planners and the Doers

1    Followers, Planners and the Doers

I believe, broadly, that there are three kinds of people as far as problem solvers are concerned.

Firstly, I see around me many who are plain followers. This specie participates neither in planning nor in decision making. They have no ideas of their own. They just work on the commands they receive; they follow orders without applying mind. These comprise 60% of the people.

Then, there are idea givers. Free idea givers. They have solutions for almost all the problems and also know how to implement these solutions. However, they do not participate in the implementation of the solutions. Problem presented, solution given but not implemented. Job half done! These comprise 39% of the people.

Next are those who not only give the solution/ideas on solving issues but also take the ideas from the mind to the floor. These actually implement their ideas in solving the problem. These comprise 1% of the people.

In an organization, the higher the percentage of these doers, the higher will be the success.
