People and the world….

Now people are weighed by their wealth. More the wealth, people show liking outwardly and jealousy inwardly.

DONT TRUE LOVE N AFFECTION HAVE A PLACE IN THE WOLD TODAY??. IS IT JUST RAT RACE BY GREEDY ONES!!??

Well there are exceptions, everywhere, every time. There were people like Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, Vivekananda, and Subash Chandra Bose at the same time. Hitler, Mussoloni, Mother Therisa, Einsten, Nobel….

So let us not be in the race by greedy ones!! Let us do all the good we can, to all the people we can, in all the ways we can, at all the time we can….Let is live the one life we have, right with dignity. Let us not be like those, who cannot think for others who suffer, and help them realize their folly, not through words but by deeds….

Courage, Courage, and courage, is what is needed, to rock the cradle, the corporate, and the world…As Gandhiji had once said, problem with we Indians are that we are cowards. Also family, corporations, and the world, are build on sacrifices, some go noticed, some go unnoticed. Some are rewarded, some are not. When I told a friend, this is the gift I got, when I failed, my sis said, why should we give gifts, only when others succeed?? True they need to be rewarded, for their hardwork, but Success itself is a gift. People are sad, and needs motivation, when they fail. So when others fail, they should not be rejected, but encouraged….And indeed that is what keeps me going now….

The world of greasepaints is infused with people form both sides of the fence. The ones who deserve, but don’t ask, and the ones who get more than their fair share of the pie. Few develop the courage to seek their worth in greens, over a period of time….

John Wooden once said: ‘Things turns out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out’.

There would be many to take credit of your achievements, but very few to be by your side during tough times, who really are your true friends, and hence aptly said, only poor man knows who his true friends are.

Often several families, though living apart, function together as one unit for every major aspect. Increasing income of the FAMILY is a desirable thing. No one confused greed for money with the steady rise in income commensurate with the rising needs of modern life. Government officers who, 30 years ago, were on a couple of thousand rupees salary are now earning Rs.15000 or even more. It hurts no one's conscience that he is growing greedy. Modern life demands more. One finds it essential to earn more and more.

In a business, there is a product. At home, there is no such product. Money is spent on living. What can one realistically do to raise his family income?. Time and energy are MONEY. To save them is to pay attention to them. Time saved, in principle, is money saved. It is true of energy, too. To save TIME, one needs to organize one's work. To organize means to become efficient. Efficiency, as a rule, even as a principle, increases money. He who saves time and organizes the work for that purpose, is NOT outside.

He is inside. Doing so seriously, his outer life gradually gets transferred inside. It finally becomes inner life. Inner life is necessarily a life of concentration. It has a point of reference. We refer each work to that point of reference.

Such an inner life does not permit a man to shout or even speak loudly. His movements become measured. He refers his work to an ideal of his or to a value. Surely such a value can be a Divine Value. Referring each work to a divine value or to the Divine is known as consecration. For a family man, his own family is that divine. To refer every work to the inner divine, for a domestic person, means to have GOOD WILL. It can be a good will of emotion and be intense. One's intense emotion of good will for his family can be extended to all his friends and relatives. It becomes powerful when he decides that any good that he desires that any good that he can come to him after they all receive it first, even if is LUCK. It is a silent way and a sure way of steadily increasing one's family income.

Friends and Relatives are two sides of the same coin. Both are needed in our life. If I ask you who you tell is good, what would be your answer?? Whatever it is, they are like Father and Mother. Though there are people leaving without one, it is indeed the greatest blessing of God to have both of them by our side always. And we do not forget the way we come. Poverty indeed is the greatest curse. And it indeed was a wise saying by Dr.Abdul Kalam, to make education upto 14 years completely free, and make available loan, for education after that.

Every parents strive to do their best for their families. But, in return, children begin by obeying their parents, after a time they judge them, rarely, if ever do they forgive them. After a age, it is not money that they need, but love and affection, for which there is no time today.

Be careful and cautious in your journey through life. You have to be nice, but you can’t have people use you as a doormat. If someone commits a foul on you, make him or her aware they are, otherwise you are encouraging them. After that if people do not realize their mistake, it’s their karma. Niceness always pays off with all the goodwill that comes your way.

If you hike your wagon to the stars may be you will get to some heights. So dream big!! Things at times fall into places, may be unplanned by us, and planned by Almighty!! There are many more talented people out there who are not fortunate enough to be here. I would not wish to step on anybody’s toes to get what I want…But pray to Almighty!!!

‘So let us then be up and living, with a heart for any race…Still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labour and to wait’

Some smile, some admire, some smirk, some raise quizzical eyebrows-all at one issue. Worse still some are bashed up, some are burt alive, some are buried alive, when it comes to intercaste and/or interreligious marriage.

Some say extra marital affair is wrong, marrying a married person is wrong…,For a modern, young, NRI, full of dreams, and green card, it would be a dilemma, when he is asked to marry his sister-in-law, when brother is dead, if otherwise, he looks at her, in any other way, it is wrong, for she is in the position of a mother.

Why did Krishna leave Radha?
Why did Krishna make Rukumini elope?
Why did Kansa put his sis & BIL in the same prison, when he knew that their son would kill him?
How did Virgin Mary give birth to Jesus?

When its time, any thing can happen? Impossible itself says I’m possible…we are no one to decide, what is wrong, and what is right. When we point a finger at others, three fingers are pointing at us.

Love is blind, when someone is in love, they will not see or understand anything…..

At times the things that give us pain, others cherish, while that give us pleasure, others are hurt….But then, what to choose??

Marriages are made in heaven….and elsewhere…..Adults have the right to choose who they want to live with…One needs to understand that ‘honour’ killings should not exist in a civilized society. It’s a shame that it is still going on…It is sad that parents take it as a personal vengeance when their own children marry outside of their caste or religion. What is more important to a parent? A child’s happiness or a false pride and honour?? But then what to do, they think of the society, where they live in.

One thing common in most human being is they find pleasure to see others suffering….They don’t want to see other rise…

When once, I told to a friends mother ‘Mothers are crazy…’ MOTHERS ARE NEVER CRAZY. By crazy, I meant extremely passionate, but they took it other way out……….When I said, Inshallaha (which means God willing to me) Reena told, …I don’t belive in that…Infact, there is only one perfect child and every mother has it..Come what may, they will understand, and forgive their children, but not others…..Doesn’t one become to some extend, a little selfish, once they become a mother…Anyways...No care and love like that of theirs...

Dear Friend.....

You probably relies you brighten my life when we are together, but do you know how much you brighten my life when we are apart?
Whenever something exciting happens, I think of you, and I picture myself running to tell you all about it, and we share a laugh…
When I am faced with a tough situation, I think of you, and imagine what you would do or what you would say to help me through it.
Even when there is really nothing going on, I think of you and your ability to make lifes dullest moments fun….
Even when you are somewhere else, a part of you is always here with me.

It was but yesterday we met in a dream, you have sung me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky, But now our sleep had fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dream. The noon tide is upon us, and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more we shall speak again, together and you shall sing to me a deeper song, and if our hands should meet in another dream, we shall built another tower in the sky……

If i have to be ur best frnd, if thats all i can get, then i will take the job with honor, i will be the best one yet. i 'll offer u my shoulder, i 'll show how i care, i'll be there when u need me, i am not going anywhere. i ve never known anyone who smiles or laughs as much as u do, thats always been the best part about u. You have made ur foot prints in my heart, thanku my dear frnd!!!!!!!!!!!! Whether you realize it or not….

Journey from V To A and CA

One corporate world to another…Each for a span of two years….So near, yet so far…So similar yet so different….

It is said that ‘Rolling stone gathers no moss’ What does it really mean? Isnt it the two sides of same coin….

Whatever has to happen will happen, Nobody can stop destiny…

And there was history repeating in many ways:

V A
KOCHOUSEPH MOHAMED
JAGHU ABHU
SANDHYA RESHMI
SANTHI SHALIMA
RENJITH RANEESH
SESHU SRINI
RASAL SAJID
SUJI PRIYA/MEEGA
JISA SAJINA/CIMI
ELSA ANNIE/BEENA
JOJO THOMAS
CA INTER CA FINAL
CHENNAI COCHIN
TALLY SAGE

So many friends, and new colleagues, new knowledge’s…and new ventures…Thanks, for all this would not be possible without the help and support of family, and wishes from God..Hope all for the best!! It indeed is Almighty’s plan.

And now remember Seema:

Ø He who is afraid to ask is ashamed of learning
Ø Strive hard with the exam in mind and not the end result
Ø Please don’t get tense just before the exam or else you will be unable to perform upto your true potential.
Ø Study as per the time table you have set for yourself, don’t worry about the way others study.
Ø Pray, really hard, god listens to most of your prayers..


When Mini/Anni miss met me in bus, they had asked me: So far you are still here?? Reached nowhere??

Greatest torture is mental torture, dreams not being fulfilled and people making fun of you. Some may not do that directly, but behind the back…..

Be active, others should be motivated seeing you, your energy. Work, work and work! Hard! Smart! Those who fail to plan, plan to fail….

Don’t waste your time talking, at times good to be selfish, like the girl who hurt you by not telling her name inspite of you asking her, she got through the exam..Be soft spoken, and get things done for you, as ur once room mate, Porkodu….’golden creeper’ The name you give your last daughter, so that next you have a male child.


Why Good people suffer???
Success in life is an ability to organize a productive work.
Some of them whom we consider good, may be good in their behaviour, but not really good….
Most of them are inefficient and some of them are lazy….’sombarithanam’ which effects me too at times…especially while studying/taking CA books.
There is a belif that pious people are naturally good, which is not true.

So dear: Be excellent in whatever you do…Do the things allotted to you perfectly and well….Leave the rest to God, Nobody can change his will and plan…

No second thought, you must build up good career by hard work.

Corporate….

My friend asked me to accompany her to watch this movie. As I had other commitments, could not go for the same. But missed it, as had heard a lot about Page 3, but couldn’t watch it still, and had heard that it was from the same director….

This has nothing to do with the movie, just overflow of thought…

Don’t understand how some people turn out to be managers…o.k. Management, is the art of getting things done by people, but is it the art of throwing out others, if you don’t know how to get it done by them!!! I believe, the strength of true manager lies in getting things done from even the worst person, not only from the best!!! The best person will give his best even otherwise. If you employee a person, and say he is not right, after three months, the primary fault is yours being faulty recruitment. A true manager, should be able to realize if the candidate he selected is right or wrong for the job, with in this time, unless and until, the candidate, is that cleaver, and cunning, with some ulterior motive….

Communication is the link pin, for success in any organization, and when an employee leaves the organization, true fact has to be properly communicated, not in detail, but in a precise way, so that there are no misunderstandings…. or the very foundation would be crumbled.

Everyone needs to feel appreciated and even the busiest of executives will find time to assist a person who respects them and values their advice.

Nobody is perfect in this world, there are shortcomings in everyone, and if we really do care for somebody, we would be broad enough to overlook the shortcomings, and provide a helping hand, to rectify the others mistakes.

Corporate divorce is as painful and traumatic as a marital divorce. The ‘divorce papers’ served as pink slips can leave one feeling totally worthless.

It is even more painful, to give the pink slip, to those who you see have been working well, and to whom you promise that things will be well, when they had been supporting the corporation during tough times, and you are asked to hand over the pink slip to those very people, your own friends….

On getting a new job, there are new hopes, treat is given on receipt of first salary, and nobody expects to leave soon..But then nothing lasts for ever…

Every opportunity is a chance to learn. It is not just important but essential that we look at a job loss as an opportunity. A chance that life has offered you to make yourself more marketable…To look for a possible new turn of events.

After we have come to terms with all matters emotional and practical, it is time to move on. One needs to decide where to go from here. One need not break the daily routine, resist the temptation to sleep late, watch television all day, think of your search for new employment as a full or part-time job. At the same time, enjoy your life by indulging in activities you did not have time for earlier…

The crucial part, at this juncture is Financial Management. You really need to take care of and plan to get yourself through the next several months. Know what your income and expenses are, and for sure, it will reveal possibilities, rather than present restrictions.

Let’s face it; losing a job is always a possibility. So it is better to be prepared for the worst.

Moreover, after having lived your life in a hectic frenzy, assume that this is the break that you very well deserve. A time to relax, ‘To stand and stare’

So is this a lesson to be learned too: Don’t consider anyone in Corporate offices to be your friends??? Is it so???


Thought for the day:
1. ‘Education is the one cure-all for insecurity’-Hugh Jackman.
2. Everybody has a right to happiness and freedom and security and health care and education ….
3. Success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principles.
4. One of the golden keys to happiness and great success is the way you interpret events which unfold before you. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. There are no failures, only lessons.
5. A famous saying spread in IT industry, belived to be by Narayan Murthy, Infosys Chairman, ‘Never love the company you work for, but only your job, for you do not know when the company, you work for will stop loving you.’ But I belive, why hate any one….Let us continue loving the company too…As the song goes….Where is the time to hate…When there is so little time to love….
