Inter personal skills

With the advent of intellisense, spell check, auto-complete - communication has gotten so much simpler and quicker. One would imagine with technology reaching ever growing unimaginable Heights - we can be so much more connected!

And that has definitely happened!

It's so easy to share my happy moments with my family spread across the country through Facebook or instagram - I never miss a birthday - thanks to whatsapp!! I can Skype with my family  or facetime with my cousins and now I even use duo to video call!

Yet, it takes a humongous effort to really communicate. Not with friends or colleagues but even with people who are so close to you and may mean the world.

How hard is it to drop by and give a hug? Or just call out of the blue and say hi, I just felt like  talking to you! Or leave a message and say - Hey am busy these days - let's catch up in a week 😉

In the rushed lifestyle that we lead - just getting through the day seems like a victory! 

Somewhere in my heart - I am trying to consciously live as many moments as I can! I  remind myself that I got another day of life, another beautiful chance to breathe, to love, to smile, to talk, to laugh, to work - and I remind myself to see if I reached out to my family and friends.

I hope we all do the same or even more 😊

Honk...Honk..Honk.. I sat up straight. Fear, anger and irritation, all running through my head at the same time. I was on my way to my sister's PG from Bangalore airport. I looked ahead, the streets were empty but the bus driver honked. I guess, that was out of habit :) Well that was my first reaction as I was arriving home. No, don't get me wrong. Don't count me among those Indians who cannot wait to crib about how everything is wrong in this country, but that was how I honestly felt. One year in the States can bring a few changes but more than anything your horizon of observations just widens! One thing that was more than welcome was the presence of fellow beings :) I guess one can barely feel lonely here. The noise, the peak hour traffic, the roadside quarrels, the loud laughs; I loved it all. By the way, I loved the year I spent in Milwaukee. It is a beautiful city and with a home in the downtown, it just adds to the pleasure :) Shopping got a whole new meaning there vi

Movies...movies!

I have never been an avid movie watcher. But lately, I have begun enjoying watching good movies. Not sure how this happened...maybe the fact that I have been finding more time for myself in the weekends...Loads of friends around, but most of us end up doing something or other different and it’s nice to be on your own...make new friends and hey, watch movies!! I sure take looong to get to the point! Anyways, last weekend, I happened to see “Luck By Chance”. Farhan Akhtar and Konkana Sen Sharma duo was an attractive factor for me. I liked the way the script moved forward. An ambitious guy makes his way to the stardom with his talent and charm. I had an argument with a friend that there is nothing wrong in being ambitious and it just so happened that he could use people (read friends) and move still further. Others could not keep up with his pace! He said “Being ambitious does not mean cheating…period.” A good statement actually and well intentioned. Another movie for which there were no

Focus!

Focus..Focus..Focus So simple to say or hear, but really difficult to follow if you dont focus :) Time has proven to me that genious is nothing but prolonged focus on one simple thing by one simple fella. There are people with brilliant ideas and there are people who simply stick around and focus on completing a task. Very often, these are the people who go a long way in their career or life. WYSIWYG. I say WYFOIWYG. Yeah that is what is you focus on is what you get. You want to excel at work. Focus. You want to have a good and loving relationship, focus. You want to solve a problem, focus. But for heaven's sake not on problem but on solution. WYFOIWYG. Hope that's a nice thought for the day :)
