A Complete Woman

Image
This women's day let’s talk about the Men in your life. Let us acknowledge their presence around us. Am I a complete woman? I ask myself sitting alone one day in my room under the dim light of my lantern, the only light which helps me spark my writing, my instincts, and let my words come out on paper. What is a complete woman? For ages, this question is there but in every era, every generation has its own answer. Some say a complete woman is one who is married, has kids, is a good homemaker, a dedicated wife, and daughter-in-law, a loving and caring mother, daughter, sister, etc...All at once. Come to another generation they say a woman is one who is independent in her thoughts, speaks her mind, does what she feels, travels solo, owns million dollar company alone, takes care of the family, even if have kids they are also well taken care of. What is that woman has the power of balancing work and personal life; keeping everyone happy in the course of life? Go to the next, they s...

Personalizing Employee Growth

Helping your team grow and develop isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a key part of being an effective leader. When you invest in your people, they’re more likely to thrive, and your business reaps the benefits. According to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report, companies that prioritize career development see 72% higher employee engagement, 64% better retention, and 55% of employees picking up new skills. But here’s the challenge: every team is made up of individuals with different goals, strengths, and career aspirations. Some team members may be content and highly skilled in their current roles, while others are eager for their next big opportunity. So how can you tailor career development to meet your employees where they are? 1. Get to Know Your People One helpful framework is to think in terms of “rockstars” and “superstars.” Rockstars are steady, reliable contributors who want to deepen their craft. Superstars are ambitious and energized by new challenges and fast-paced growth. As a...

दोस्त (Dost/ Friend)

कल रात को पीपल के पेड़ के नीचे बैठे, बिन मौसम की हवाओं से उड़ते पत्तो की आवाज़ों में जो खनक सुनी   वो आज तक हमने सिर्फ तुम्हारी ही आवाज़ में सुनी। जैसे तुम्हारे दिल में दबे घाव तुम्हारे चेहरे की हसी से छुप जाते है।   वैसे ही वो पेड़ अपने दुःख अपनी बड़ी फैली शाखाओं में दबाये खड़ा रहा।   जहा उसकी भुजाओं में कितने ही लोगों की बातें और आँखों की नमी दबी होगी,  वैसे ही जैसे तुम्हारी आँखों में वो नमी देखी पर होंठो पे हर दम एक बड़ी सी मुस्कान। जितनी बड़ी मुस्कान उससे कई बड़ा दिल जो हर गम को पी जाये और  किसी को भी देख के ये न लगे की तुम अभी कुछ देर पहले ही अकेले में अपने आंसू पोंछ के आये हो। तुम कहो या न कहो पर तुम्हे एक नज़र देख कर हम  ये समझ गए की तुम्हारे दिल और दिमाग में क्या तूफ़ान चल रहा है। ये तूफ़ान ऐसा जो ऊपर से तो शांत है पर अंदर गहरायी में  अपने पूरे उबाल पर है जो कभी भी जवालामुखी की तरह फट सकता है।   पर तुम अपने इस रूप से खुश नहीं हो  और अंदर ही अंदर खुद से जूझते जा रहे हो। तुम्हारी शांत आँखों के आईने मे खुद को देख कर  ये सोचते हो की मैं...

Building Bully- Free Workplace

In the dynamic realm of the workplace, collaboration and teamwork are crucial for success. However, sometimes this spirit of cooperation takes a dark turn when employees gang up against one particular team member. During a recent one-on-one session with a team member, I came to realize the immense importance of understanding and practicing concepts like empathy, sympathy, privacy, and secrecy. These terms may be interconnected, but they each hold their own significance. It is disheartening to witness team members struggling to fit into the competitive nature of the workplace. Do they not have their own individuality and unique perspectives? Should they not possess their own strong will? Numerous questions arise in light of this. Why do people gang up against a particular team member? Why do they feel entitled to delve into their personal issues? Can't they control their curiosity and focus on their own responsibilities? Why make fun of someone who is already going through emotional...

I Accuse... BOOK REVIEW

Image
"I Accuse..." by Jarnail Singh, with Foreward from one of my favourite authors of all the time Khushwant singh. (Iam just obsessed with his writing.)   This is all about how 1984 riots started and how the community got badly affected and the aftermath. The black days as I call them...   While I was reading this book, I could easily picturize the anecdotes, the loot scenes, the scenes which shows the atrocities done on the community. Why so, one may ask cause these were those black days and nights during which my family also struggled to save their religious beliefs, their business, family members especially the men.   I was merely 4 years then but my grandmother use to share the stories so as the other elders in the family. Even if the names in the book are different from those of my known people but the stories are just the same. I saw their faces while going through the pages, i saw our oldest house and the community area where the elders use to sit and gossip and play ...

A light which gives you blessings for a new day,  new moments of togetherness and good health.   Thanking you from the bottom of my heart to share a part of you with me.   Be as calm, poised, composed as you are always.

Let me hold you close to me

Let me hold you close to me, Let me hold you tight. So tight and close that even air could not pass.   Your hairs entangled in my fingers listening to our breathing up and down fast and fast giving you soft kisses on your ear lobe one at a time with caressing your intense eyes with  my lips.   Reaching down to your baby pink lips slowly touched with mine trying to play with the lower lip, followed with the upper one eating them one by one, squeezing inside my mouth covered with the saliva all over, kissing you hard and deep inside. While our hug tightens, I reached to your well shaped and firm shoulders  unbuttoning your shirt, where I can see hairs all over your white skin  peeping out to me and tempting me to kiss you hard may be leaving a mark on your neck. Going beyond I reach to your chest and  feel your erect nipples coming out to me my lips played with them one by one each inviting me for more as I dig into them and hear your heart pumping loud and l...

21 Days Lockdown Series Day 6: Monday Blues and Work from Home

As the Day 6 came close to end, with the boring Monday as it started. I am on fast today and don't know why but mood is not so good. It seems after yesterday's goof up my Boss is not happy and she asked me last night what happened today? But as I was not in frame of mind to answer her I was online till 3am with my sister, we sang songs and before that I had good amount of drink and was in different mood all together and didn't wanted to go into any discussion that time. So, I replied her late in night where I accepted my mistake and sent her detailed message. Monday started with a half heart at work and then as the day continues, it was off the heart today. I also had severe back pain and for this had to take break for an hour from the work. Later around 8:30 my mom cooked Mooli paratha for me and the food worked it all. As you all know there is no domestic help nowadays at home cause of the virus and no movement allowed. So, had to wash the utensils and clothes mysel...

21 Days Lockdown Series Day 4: Gratitude

So, Day 4 and its becoming tougher and tougher day by day. But thank God there is work and internet to help you survive. Today after 3 days I went out to buy the basic veggies and essential grocery just from the shop outside our society. So, I covered myself with mask and all and then went out with dad. There were just 4-5 carts from where we could buy some veggies and then grocery from outside shop and then back to our den and back to work. Interestingly I remembered we had a machine where we could clean the hazardous chemicals from the veggies skin and I used that today and cleaned the veggies which I bought from outside and I must say the veggies were again fresh like just peeled off from the garden and served. I want to thank you to my father's friend who gifted him this machine and now today we got chance to use it and understand its worth. Later in the day at work also something interesting happened, as we do video calls everyday with the team and they are all very e...
