रूप की महिमा

तुम्हें फूलझड़ी कहूँ तो टूट जाती है लडी..

पटाखा कहूँ तो बजती है कानों में सीटी..

बॉम्ब कहूँ तो रूठ जाते हैं फिल्मी सितारे..

चक्री के चक्कर में अनार बीमार हैं सारे..

घर-घर तुम्हारी ही तरह रंगोली है सजी..

तुम बिन रूप नहीं, स्वर्ग नहीं, नर्क नहीं..

🌶️🔥🌶️

फिर न कहना कि मैं कुछ कहता ही नहीं..

😍💘😍

#रूप चतुर्दशी

#नर्क चतुर्दशी 

#छोटी दिवाली

बधाई हो...

धर्म और स्वतंत्रता

दिन पूरा, रात पूरी,

सुबह पूरी, शाम पूरी,

 जज़्बात पूरे, नियत पूरी,

 मैं अधूरा, वो अधूरी,

 ख़्वाब पूरे, कहानी अधूरी...

रुपया-पैसा आ जाने से दीन-ओ-ईमान नहीं आ जाता...,

रईसों से अहंकार का रिश्ता यूँ ही नहीं जुड़ जाता..!!

माना कि हर निशान कलंक नहीं होता 

आबोहवा का असर यूँ ही नहीं उड़ जाता

कीचड़ में ही कमल भी तो खिलते हैं

सूरजमुखी यूँ ही नहीं रोशनी देख मुड़ जाता

NATURAL BEHAVIOUR

How can introverts succeed and thrive in extroverted work environments?

Let me seek an example of a work environment which needs only and only extroverts and has absolutely no space for introverts. Keep me posted if you find any or even many.

At the onset let us be very clear in our understanding that being an ‘introvert’ or an ‘extrovert’ is not a negative or positive aspect of ones personality. It is ones way of living life or expressing oneself and need not be changed out of some kind of pride or prejudice.

Ever working environment or place has space for both kind of individuals and one can fit in the system quite easily and naturally by adopting the role which fits ones basic nature or personality trait. The team leaders or the Human Resources Department of such work places are specially designated to give an individual a job as per that individual’s personality trait. That is how a good organization uses and develops its goodwill and performance. There are numerous ways that HRD can utilize to help an introvert individual to succeed and thrive even in a so called extroverted or hyped up work environment.

The task of changing oneself can also be adopted if one finds itself necessary to survive in the work environment that one finds oneself in. This task to bring necessary changes in oneself has to come from within and not because of some kind of external force or compulsion. Self-development programme works much better after prudent self-analysis. Such an individual can start with talking to oneself first and then by expressing ones ideas, concepts, concerns, values , points to ones close friends, family members and peers. One can assign oneself regular outings and join social networks to gain social contacts and momentum.

A tortoise can’t be compelled to run as fast as a rabbit and neither can a rabbit be asked to shrink its feet and go into a shell. A tortoise can be asked to swim fast and a rabbit can be asked to go slow or take a nap only to revitalize itself but this is productive only if that tortoise and rabbit is willing to do so out of some life threatening need, survival instinct or a desire to explore oneself. Exploitation never works - not in the long run at least.

OFFICE POLITICS - a boon or a bane

How can someone navigate office politics without compromising their integrity or alienating colleagues, especially in a highly competitive corporate environment?

We come across this pertinent question many a times during our professional life. Most of the times the questioner is a youngster who has joined a job with a lot of exuberance to establish his/her worth by making timely use of his/her academic talents and non-academic skills but is finding themselves caught in a rattrap after the probationary or apprentice period. The office or work experience that one actually goes through one's work span baffles the young mind to choose the right way or path to achieve one's goal o ambition. Needless to say that each and every employee wants to grow and get an appraisal which not only improves one's financial and social status but also substantiates one's being and self-respect.

The youngsters choose their path as per their perspective or belief. The chosen path could be that of a diligent and dedicated employee who works hard as per one's best capability and ability. The other path could be to work as smartly as possible as per the need of the hour and office. Then there are employees who don't walk the talk but do talk a lot about their consistency in work despite the work, health or family pressure they have to face in this pathetic corporate world. Flattery is one more skill that employees employ to achieve their goals. Every employee adopts the way which he/she thinks right and take the path which pleases his/her senses.

Each and every way is righteous if it helps one to achieve one's goal in stipulated time without any loss of self-respect and integrity. Employees do shift their path or point of view after walking on or practicing on it for an affordable duration of time. This change comes after analyzing the results of their office endeavor. Age and work experience has got nothing to do with this practical entrepreneurship period as every boss or management has a different mindset or theory and you know that "Boss is always right".

So, the question remains as it is and the saga continues...

[The first and foremost thing that someone has to do to get rid of office politics is to leave the very idea of navigating or directing or piloting the office politics. Office politics is not only quite a common practice in a highly competitive corporate world but also a favorite time-pass activity in which the flickering mind indulges quite passionately. This involvement in dirty office politics can be easily avoided by staying stoic. Any kind of active or passive participation in such unhealthy and unhygienic office politics has the power to make anyone at least an accomplice, if not a criminal, in conduction of a lucrative crime. Being a witness to such an unnecessary activity requires a lot of patience and skill. Just being an indifferent or dormant observer without any reaction or response whatsoever is a tremendous art of applied diplomacy which one acquires through deep meditation by applying self-control practices. This attitude might alienate one’s colleagues up to a certain extent or time but it would never compromise one’s integrity towards the organization or job.]

Character analysis

Guess who..??

मेरे देखे से तो अब तक के जीवन दर्शन में मुझे एक औरत ही औरत की असल दुश्मन नज़र आई है। ऐसा शायद इसलिए कि दर्पण में मुझे अपने भीतर भी एक औरत नज़र आई है। या फिर ऐसा शायद इसलिए क्योंकि उस ममतामयी, आनंदमयी, चैतन्यमयी, गरिमामयी औरत ने अपने मूलभूत स्त्रैण चरित्र को खो कर दुनियादारी या समाज का पुरुषीय व्यक्तित्व अपना लिया है। ऐसा उस स्त्री ने शायद राज़ी-खुशी, शायद डर के मारे या शायद सफलता पाने के लिए किया है।

The Ship of Relationships

Relationships are built on mutual love, respect, safety and trust.

"Give. But don’t allow yourself to be used.

Love. But don’t allow your heart to be abused.

Trust. But don’t be naive.

Listen. But don’t lose your own voice." 

Every BUT in the above lines indicate a negative or business minded mindset.

Can we have a PARADIGM SHIFT in our approach towards living life as humanly as possible?

"Give - getting used by someone shouldn't stop you from giving.

Love - heart never gets abused; it's the mind which tells you so.

Trust - being naïve is better than being cynic.

Listen to understand the perspective instead of being judgmental."
