Ask me not!

May 24, 2011

Asking and replying may be two opposite words in English but they reflect your attitude once they become habit. As a learner, asking is the most important thing that reflects the zeal you have and this habit helps you throughout the course of life. Replying on the other hand gives you satisfaction that, you not just spread the knowledge but made a good use of your wisdom. Both have their pros and cons and in fact, the negative part comes into picture when the...

The road show

Prashant Shrivastava By now you must be wondering that this article is all about the various road shows conducted by several political leaders who believe that this is the best way to fool public, but here’s no catch! I mean exactly what title suggests and that’s the show we observe everyday by few disgusting drivers, riders, and even commuters on road. Each new model of a vehicle gives you more features over the previous one and that’s why we buy new even when we...

Woman better manager

Prashant Shrivastava When it comes to the management, we naturally look towards big management schools and end up with a man well dressed as a manager who wears a smile on face all the time and who knows all the situations and their respective handling. But this is a truth half known. Men must be taught rigorously to become a manager who after years of hard work learns new skills that they use as panacea for every problem. And the same men struggle to...

Banning jeans for girls, a defensive approach!

Prashant Shrivastava In a recent development to protect girls from eve teasers, few colleges in Kanpur decided to ban jeans and other specified outfits for college goer girls and even teachers.

This activity seems to be a start point which when will take a greater proportion, will ensure that people do not go to the...

The World Environment Day June 5

Fateh Sagar lake Udaipur

As we gear up to celebrate yet another World Environment Day on June 5, a fresh discussion for the need of such days should be evoked. We have 365 days and most of which are designated as some or other day. But does that help really? Is the question to be asked? Are we really aware of the repercussions our ignorance is going to cause to the generations to come? Not really, I tell you. We build houses, earn and stock money for our...

Special Someone

March 6, 2010
By

Whenever someone enters into our life and adds colors and a zing to the present life style, our heart gets filled with elation, we complain why this person did not come earlier and at the same time we thank our luck for the wonderful gift. Now when the same person gets ready to depart from life, we feel cursed, broken, and lonely. This is nothing new, all natural. We again start complaining that if this person was destined to go, why he/she came and...

When we talk about love anywhere anyways, the first concern that clicks mind is the love between man and woman. Normally I write about love in a general way but today I would like to put my focus on love between man and woman. Love here starts with an attraction. Most of the times it is physical attraction but at times it also starts with some quality of person like good speaking skills, writing skills, or simply a sweet nature. In the beginning, we...

Black is future… Having said that I don’t mean that future is not good or bright, instead I mean that future will be bright provided proper decisions are made today. The one of the most important thing we need to proceed and develop is the energy which is now declared to be short. Be it petrol or electricity, their conservation is the only way out to have them available when we need. So, it’s up to us whether we need extra lighting to decorate...

Help Yourself! Republic India is celebrating its 60th anniversary today and with all pride, we also have to acknowledge the fact that in the name of a developing country, we left many areas of problems intact. They were the problem when we got our country in our hands and those still are the problems. But surprisingly issues that rose later drew all the attention and even got ameliorated in a positive direction if not resolved. For example nuclear capacity, mission Moon, IT market and...

    Office ethics Here are few best practices that I have observed and jotted down in my career so far. I follow each of these ethics and touch wood, I am happy at work. You don’t need to be a bad person or a cunning employee to face the axe. Even lack of some ethics and smartness would lead you to trouble. So better safe than sorry. Listed below are some paperless office best practices that you should keep in mind all the time. Always be on time and properly dressed. Keep your work desk clean and organized. Start your day with a broad planning and note down all the important tasks to be done that day. Make good use of communication mediums and clear all doubts before taking any action. Once you’re done with the current assignment, take a break of five minutes and now look at your work critically. Make changes. Always use formal and respectful language while communicating whether the recipient is senior or junior, male or female. Avoid indulging into any kind of office critical discussions. Every office has issues. Behave like a gentleman to female mates in particular. Avoid any sexual or embarrassing comments about their [...]

  • When to Quit

    Don’t quit till you succeed is the adage to be used carefully. Especially in today’s context when life is short and full of options. You want to do many things in a short span of time and if you stay stuck with one thing for longer for you couldn’t succeed hitherto, consider shifting to another idea or concept rather than staying stuck to one and ruin your entire life. I know a couple who after 6 years of struggle could merry each other. Meanwhile many a times they fought badly, had family problems, and lastly I learnt that they wanted to merry just for the sake of knowing each other. The love had vanished. Now their life is not even okay. Sometimes success brings more sorrow than failure. A success can only be useful if it only opens gate of new way. If your success is a solid destination from where you cannot go any where further, it hurts and you begin to hate what you achieved because you reminisce all the pain you scored during the struggle. But other way round if you got a success from where you can explore new avenues, you feel good about the pain [...]

  • Jagjeet Singh’ demise – end of an era

    Media, channels, papers, blogs, and magazines are abuzz with the sorrow of sad demise of veteran Gazal singer Jagjeet Singh who took his last breathe on Monday October 10, 2011. This day has not just made us devoid of a golden and soulful voice that created emotions and which has been an integral part of many struggles of life and love. Although the genre of Gazals still is limited to those who understand it, this man extended it’s sphere wider and ensured that not just experienced and old people but youngsters also listen to this. This way he not only gave new heights to Gazals and Rubaayee but also sprinkled life in poetry that has been missing from Indian Music for decades. The young generation when felt sad, these Ghazals sung by Jagjeet gave them shoulders to cry, became a companion when in isolation, and ensured that the burden of sorrow and loneliness was shared so that lost people could find the path back. Like a normal teenager even I hated the Gazals when my Dad played it. But as i grew up soon I fell into love with poetry and when I looked towards Bollywood for soulful voices and [...]
