Small steps towards great world

I have realized the significance of small steps towards a great world only after I carefully noticed how my little daughter, Sudhriti, learning how to walk. Like any other child, she started with crawling, then trying to stand with someone's help, and now, with slightest possible opportunity, she rushes out of the main door.....may be towards a great world. May be the greatness of the world enthralls her so much, that she immediately returns to her small world.


The same phenomenon hold good for all spheres of our lives. When I was a fresher, looking at the famous Employment News that time, I used to be astonished, as to how companies require professionals with 15 yrs experience!! 15 looong years, oh my god. But today, all those small steps have fetched 15 long years of experience in my professional career, too. But the world is even greater, and dont know how many such small steps would suffice that. 


Have plan to pen down some more thoughts on this theme. Share your view, all.

A Journey to my Core

Known-known faces, are they half-known? A full life makes the faces full-known! This was my preconceived notion when the idea of a re-union was being nestled. I had been debating with myself, whether to be or not to be there. I was confused whether the ‘known’ faces might turn up to be ‘half known’ after two decades of separation!! Twenty long years, is not a short travel. I remember, during my student days, I used to go through “Employment News” regularly to look for job vacancies. And for most of the HR jobs, the minimum post-qualification experience required were 15-20 years. That was quite an absurd requirement for a fresh college pass out, who was only having an MBA degree and a bagful of aspirations in his possession. Now, when I look back at the 20 years which I spent in corporate rat-races, then I realize, oh, what a journey!! Though the journey, sometimes, was tiresome and difficult through hilly terrains and rough patches, but whenever an oasis was found, it was...

“Ek hi toh hain”

I know this driver, at his 50s, who drives one of my Company’s vehicles; very humble, submissive and ever smiling, named Tajuddin. Apart from his gentle nature, I have noticed a unique feature in him. Whenever he passes by a Temple, he would salute the god or goddess there, with the same devotion as he does when he passes a Durgah . One day, I asked him about this and he, very humbly, uttered a simple sentence, “Ek hi hain na, sir”. What a matured statement, what a sign of endurance and respect for others ! I did never imagine this thought from a person, who has spent his life time in front of the steering wheel. This has provoked a serious thought process in me, as to whether we realize in our everyday’s life the value of this “oneness”!! If you concentrate in this festive season, the essence of “oneness” is very evident. The Dusserah festival, though known in many names across different provinces, speaks about one thread which keeps human being entangled. Be it Durga Puja in Ea...

Why Have All Answers??

Someone asked me couple of vital questions after going through one of my recent blogs. The questions are all elementary for a serious blogger. What is the aim of my blog? Who is the target audience? Why will anyone be interested in my articles? What impact does writing blog have on me? How is this going to change anything? What is long term plan for the blog? What other channels can express similar views with greater impact? What is the effort vs return in writing articles? – oh my God…I never thought that a simple act of blogging can have so many questions at the back drop. Now there are two issues about it. The first one, is may be, life is like that. Even an incident or a situation, which appears to be very simple, can have so many questions behind it. The very basic fact of my existence can be questioned, why to exist, why someone be interested in me, can my existence change anyone, what is the long term plan of my existence, and so on and so forth. Many incidences in life happen ...
