Self Esteem

 Self Esteem. " OH! He/ She is not upto the mark". A very random comment.  Don't we many many many times casually pass our judgement about a person???? A very random and casual comment.  The person passing this comment may not feel it's importance or might have unknowingly spoken them. But do we realize the effect this random comment passed just casually, has on the specified person? Abhishek Bacchan recently in an interview spoke about this. A series of flops in his debuting career,got media comparing him with his legendary father ,Shri Amitabh Bacchan. " AB's baby is just not upto the mark." This comment coming from everyone and everywhere,affected him so much,that in many parties,Abhishek would himself comment in front of his mother and people around" I am a flop". Many kids in our current marks oriented curriculum fail to bring in those percentage....or that All India Rank( AIR) in any competitive exam..... Or..... In later life,the number ...

I tightened my grip on The Hand.It started wiggling and it's claws started hurting my scalp.I yanked it out off my hair and threw it away.A big yell.Husband got up ." Tripti, what happened?". Me: There was a creature on my head.Probably a Mouse." Husband: " You may be dreaming. No mouse will climb 2 floors above ground nor is it smart to use the lift."

Accent and Mannerism

 Accent and Mannerism. A 32y IT professional working in Reddit in US posted that he and his Indian colleagues were asked not to speak in meetings as nobody could understand their accent .The typical Indian mannerisms of hand and facial expressions were ridiculed and embarrassed by Co workers there. I saw recently a Marathi movie" Gavthi".A B.E Computer Engineer from rural Maharashtra when sought jobs in Corporate setups in Mumbai was ridiculed by all in interviews because of his Vernacular Accent. Each person whether in our own country or in Abroad ...Globally.....has an Accent and Mannerisms ,developed by the environment he/ she is grown up in. That's natural human tendency.  The Accent and Mannerism remain within us forever even if we leave the environment.  South Indians have their own Accent.  North Indians their own. West India....Maharashtra or Gujrat or Rajasthan.... East....a Bengali or Oriya has their own Accent.  So does a person from North East. Why w...

Lost the Way

 Lost The Way....... A short story..... A group of Stanford graduates were given a task to show their Entrepreunership qualities. Each group was given a 5$ bill and 2hrs to make maximum money followed by a 3min presentation on how they went about it. The first group utilized the 5$ and purchased materials ex Lemonade stand,Lottery tickets,Burger stand etc.Sold the materials for 2 hrs and made money. The 2nd group thought 5$ worthless. They purchased the reservation slot in a top restaurant. For 2hrs they sold the booked reservation slots to people who don't want to wait for long.Thus made money. The 3rd group didn't bother to use neither the 5$ nor the 2hrs....Instead they sold their 3min presentation time to a top company who was interested in recruiting Stanford graduates.... And made a whopping money of 650$. What do we learn from this???? If we concentrate wholly on the tactics only ( the 5$ here) we tend to get lost by concentrating only on it.....forgetting the strategy. ...

I say a little Prayer

 I say a little Prayer. Yesterday, I saw a Marathi Short Film. A couple both working in Corporate industry,staying in Pune. The man comes home all angry and frustrated. Things were not falling into place in the workforce for past few months.He was bewildered as he couldn't pinpoint a particular reason for the shortcomings.  His wife suggested a visit to the family deity.But as this film was made post Covid,the temple doors were still not open for devotees. Then, his mother suggested Astrology. A meeting with the Astrologer showed his stars weren't at the right place. Here the film comes to the main intention..... The Astrologer looks at the man.... " From your face,I can clearly make out that you have no faith in my Science. The poojas, Fasts,Rings,or some rituals if suggested by me ....you will not follow....and it's no point if your wife follows them on your behalf.But let me tell you...... If time is not going in your favor,these solutions I suggest are only Therape...
