In my Journey called Life

Finally a poem conceived and written by me.Doesn't it look like a poem from a 5 th grade student. It proves that i am still young..Hurray !!! Oh Dad, You asked me to play but the world around is playing with me; Oh Dad, you asked me to fight but the world around is fighting with me; Oh Dad, you asked me to change but the world around is changing with me; But you told me to be bold and that made me to fight the change and still be in the play.

I was just gazing into my ceiling and thinking about our difficulties we people are facing... What has our education taught us??? Has it taught us How to post Tweets what etiquettes to be maintained in Group chat How to address an official conference call. How to write, whom to mark in To, CC, BCC in a formal E mail. what issues to be addressed in a E mail and what not.. How to elegantly exit from a chat, when the other end is so interestingly telling his sad love story. What does it mean if someone cuts your call. Should he have sent a response via msg. Has not a single school woken up to teach these things to their students ... When are we going to stop teaching letter writing to our children..the only post we receive is our monthly statement bill for credit card.

Reality, I have been cautiously researching this topic for a couple of years since our controversial prof Venkat threw this raw fact upon our faces in his IIO class. And I wanna share the results with you,I am surprised!! I could visibly see many advantages and merits in managing others perception about you.But you should not also overdo it which might back fire.There is a powerful marketing campaign happening about you,behind you, which you might have consciously or unconsciously started. This will help you in getting good reference, people unanimously choose you for responsible chairs, you might(I didn't say will) be attractive to opposite sex, it will act as an extra force in you fight up the life's ladder. So we might think its always good to speak whats happening,the reality, but bite your tongue, that will not take you any further. It might not be an decelerator , but you tend to lose the extra force acting on behalf of you. I also want to add that I am currently ...

If you are a traveler in India, you will come across lots of beggars daily. I happen to be a routine traveler in Mumbai suburbs train. And don't think I am too callous for the post you are going to read. It just happens out of my MBA pedigree. I used to watch beggars sitting outside the station and mainly in the trains.I have started wondering why do some beggars gets alms and some don't, what runs in peoples mind before offering alms to any beggar.These are my observations. The category which is the least earner in the old people and children without any physical challenges. The best category is the blind couple. And the best timing is the evening hours when people return home relaxed and are happy. The wrong hour to beg for alms is the morning biz hours.People ignore even the blind couple, nothing to say about others. And if you get alms from few people then your chances of getting more increases this tells us that people mind is in a short term dilemma about offering alms an...

Opportunities doesn't come with choices. There is a critical dimension called time which plays the devils advocate. Time or the Moment to be precise, determines the success or failure of any decision taken.Be it launch of a product,price change,policy change etc.. Many companies fail or succeed by the way they take the decision with limited information. This topic reminds me of a relevant quote by our loving prof Bala.70/40 principle. You don't have to wait for the full info to be on the table. By the time it arrives the race would have been long finished.Its the swiftness of the decision taken which differentiates leader. Taking action with boldness at lightning speed is skill to be with leaders.In my professional career I have met only a very few people with this character,one of them to remember and deserves a praise is Mr.Arasu,VP TRL. This is an important attitude to cultivate not only to reach the top and but stay there also.

Its is always very interesting to follow Consumer Behavior, its one of my favorite subjects in my MBA.Buying is not about the 4P's alone. Its a game theory and very difficult to predict the outcome of your every move as you are not the single player in the game. As the late management guru, CK Prahalad has rightly said , marketers have to fine tune their products to suit individual customer's taste. Every customer has a different response to the marketing initiatives propagated by the company. And their grievances are unique too. In future it will become more imperative and mandatory to understand each and every customer individually rather than agglomerating them into segments and silos . Companies have to customize till the very last details and there is going to be a challenge when you have to serve volumes as well as customize. Its going to be an interesting marketing scenario .

This is the punch line for Black Berry..but its also the life line of how you have to live your life..If you are not loving your job you will always be in an agitated mood which spoils all you joyous moments..And think we are not here to work..we are here to lead a happy joyous and meaningful life.
