Self Confidence

Image
Believing in oneself can make the difference between success and failure. People who believe in themselves are more confident, more willing to take reasonable risks, and more willing to communicate freely with others. Self-confidence is not about having an unrealistic concept of your own self-importance. Instead, it is about loving yourself and having faith in your own unique strengths and abilities. You might think that in order to demonstrate self-confidence, you need to be loud and constantly expressing your own opinion. In fact, confident people are often the most humble and selfless individuals around. When you love yourself fully, you will not need to spend time bragging or pumping yourself up in the eyes of others. Instead, you can calmly focus on the tasks at hand without worrying about what anyone else thinks of you. Self-confidence can't be developed overnight. It requires a dedicated commitment and lots of self-reflection. The first step to buildi...

There are many therapies for body and soul but there is one which is so unique i.e. Attar Therapy. The attar , crafted mainly from herbs, spices and flowers that grow on the Indian subcontinent, have flourished across the world. It is said that every attar has its own USP and an effect. LAVENDER Fragrance: soft, sweet, floral smell used primarily for relaxation; must not be used generously as it can be nauseating.

The Birds

Image
Some time back I saw a movie named THE BIRDS and here is my take on the feature. A timeless classic, The Birds is a suspense thriller based on Alfred Hitchcock’s story which gives a tinge of the nature and its effects of the common man. The story revolves around a wealthy socialite Melanine Daniels meeting a lawyer Mitch Brenner in a pet shop where a small conversation ends upto Melanine’s idea of returning the favour he did. To this, she drives around an hour to the North of San Francisco to a small island called Bodega Bay where Mitch spends his weekends with his sister and possessive mother. After reaching there she finds that his house was across the river from the city and she prefers to sail alone and reach the destination and presents a pair of love birds to Mitch’s sister. This route was the first one when she was attacked by a seagull. Soon after Mitch discovered about Melanine’s presence in town he invites her for dinner at his house and introduced her to his...

While browsing some old docs...i came across this poem of two love birds which I wrote in 2007 and I am happy to post the same... Do pyar karne wale ek sunsaan sadak pe mile pyar ki nishaniya dono ne di ek padosi ne unko raho me dekha aur unka pyar jo zamane se chupa tha aaj vo samne aa gaya dono ka izhaar aaj zamane ki nazro me aa gaya par zamane ne dono ke pyar ko inkaar kiya. Vo kya karte ek uttar to ek dakshin tha yahi baat pe sabne unke pyar ko inkaar kiya par ye dil jispe a jaye uska kya kare pyar vo jisse kar le uska kya kare. Duniya ko samjhaya par vo na mane do pyar karne walo ko alag hi karna tha unhe dono ek dusre pe marte the ek dusre se alag nahi reh sakte the. Fir dono ne faisla kiya saath ji to na sake to saath marne ka vada kiya aur ek saath maut ki aagosh me kho gaye ek dusre ki baaho me so gaye. Fir ek din sadak ke kinare, sardi ke mausam me dono ne ek dusre ko dekha aur dekhte hi reh gaye jaise pehli nazar me hi p...

Leadership Development

True leadership is what is learned by creating leadership opportunities and using these experiences as teaching points. Nowadays, leadership applies to each and everyone in the organization irrespective of their rank, title, position, or grade, and the leadership pipeline must begin with people who are not on the level to be leaders yet. This kind of development must be linked directly to the objectives and challenges faced by the organization. Development of leadership will attract and retain top talent and help the organization to reach to defined success. It is also said that Leadership development is a process, not a series of events. A successful leadership development program results in giving tangible benefits to the organization. A successful program will enable the company to develop better leaders for tomorrow. The star point in this kind of program is that the employees begin to identify themselves with the organization. They take courage and understand ownership of the orga...

Women in Ads

From a sweet little mother To a vamp within a tad Women tend to play So many roles in ads She could be in a sari Or a mini skirt Or in a tracksuit Or even a man’s shirt She can be exciting She can be inviting She can tease you, use you And so easily seduce you From wheeling a shopping cart To caring for your heart A woman always exactly knows How to play her part Because ever since the world began There is one truth about man A woman who’s as sweet as honey Finds it easiest To get a man to part with his money!

Travel with your thoughts

Yes, its true that your THOUGHTS travel; they do have a starting point and reaches to a specific destination. But as it is said that “nothing comes free in this world” so as your thoughts. These are accompanied by many other things along with. To make this clear I quote a poem of an unknown author. The author says: “Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny." ---Author unknown Here is my interpretation of the poem: "Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words." Our words are dependent on our thoughts; what ever we think it constructs back into words which shows the taste of our thoughts. It is only our feeling about what we think and what we say; resultant nature is o...
