Leadership

A good leader is one who serves his ideas in a decorated platter and allows picking & choosing the required potion for ourselves. Something of this sort happened with me couple of days back while having a discussion with my boss he explained a good way of prioritizing my work, he also taught me how I can add value to the work assigned. In any ways the discussion was great which helped me to learn the major aspects as to how a leader should act on certain issues with the peers and subordinates. The lesson clicked in my mind when he shared his experiences and explained with my context. He has always helped all of us to carve the leader in us; thru this post I would like to thank him for enlightening and helping us in making aware of what we are. Don’t know whether he will ever read this post or not; I wanted to write this from the day when it happened but anyhow it got delayed. It is always said a session with boss can show you both the sides of coin, black or white but it depends on...

A Date with Sea- 2

In continuation of my last blog, here I'll help my readers to picture my tour memories in their mind...here it goes... Last week when I visited Daman with my friends; the fun unlimited express was continuously running on full speed. I believe any trip which is without adventure is not worth it; this trip also started with adventure and twists and turns. After the final planning which was continuing from last couple of months; where we had included some key people with whom we would enjoy spending time and do whatever we love to. The excitement in everyone’s mind was jumping high; this was followed with the strategic meeting with what who will drink and eat and making certain other plans as well to make the trip hip & happening. But the last moment change in plan which was made foreseeing other plan which never happened and coz of this twist some of the main people from the list were wiped out from the tour plan. With the final list the plan was finalized and ready to execute; a...

10:10

Ever wondered why the time shown in unused clocks or the clocks in the showcase are always showing same time...i.e. 10:10 ... Since long I was trying to find out the answer for the same and could get some answers which are: -During the second world war Hiroshima and Nagasaki was attacked(as we all know); the first bomb was dropped at 10:10AM and in rememberance of all the victims the unused clocks show this time. -Some also say this something to do with the death of Abraham Lincoln ... -It has also been suggested that the 10:10 position is used because it resembles a smile:) -One marketing funda says that the Company name of the watch is written just below 12 and when the clock strucks 10:10 it is clearly visible. Still my search is ON to find out more answers for the same...and would love to know from you...

An idea can change your life

An idea can change your life!!! This is the tag-line of Idea; which is famous for its nice and creative ads spreading social message. Be it ‘Walk-when-you-talk’ or the latest one where it shares the message to ‘Use mobile and Save paper’ and at last Save Trees. The ad campaign by Lowe Lintas is very much in the everyday discussions and is very well accepted by the general public. The ad is planned with ‘What if’s, there is a silent ‘what if’ after every thought. What if trees are not there anymore? What if the land is not able to fertilize? What if everything is finished? What if…what if….With all these questions there comes an answer to start using cell phones for every little information you want in day today life; then came an e-revolution and newspapers, menu, boarding passes, certificates, music notes and every little information for which paper was used now people are using cell phones and helping trees to grow. The “what an idea sirji” tagline is also very appropriately used at ...

Twilight

"About 3 things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him and I didn't know how dominant that part might be that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

My visit to JAIL

Image
Dec 25, 2009 was the day when I visited the Central Jail in Ahmedabad and met the prisoners and the Officers there. This visit was planned to complete the class project on Jail Bhaijiya Van which is the brainchild of the DIG of Ahmedabad. Early morning we reached the DIG's office though it was a holiday but we were given good attention by the staff in the Control Room and with their suggestion we followed the road towards the Central Jail, the feeling was so good. There we saw many prisoners working as carpenters, working for the construction of the wall. I felt very happy after all this the Government is helping to learn and prove themselves to be of good behaviour and also mainly allowing them to kill their time. Further, after informing the security we went inside and met the IPS who had a small discussion with us and understood our purpose of visiting the Jail. He was so helpful that he called his Deputy Superintendent (DS) and suggested him to help us in any manner they could....
