Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise!
why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-)

in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!'

in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner!

in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o)

but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well...
1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!!
2. had to try the cold coffee at Drift... not bad at all...but cud be better...
3. I was to learn not to live in the world in my head!!!

I've met a few like that, but with a totally different upbringing - non metro, non corporate, and an earlier generation. This one takes the cake though!!

A friend's contribution...

Jindagi ke arth kuch badalte hain is tarah, Jaise samundar ke paas ki rait ki satah, Jab lagta samajh aane lagi hai jindagi, Ek aur lahar aati hai paheli ki tarah, Ab kya karein ham is jindagi se jirah, Mazza aane laga hai humein jeene mein isi tarah...

Work Cultures

This is again something's which has been on my mind for a while - maybe today it just moved to the forefront - and hence here i am. Work cultures - what makes them? who decides what culture to give an office? Have always thought that just like any other relationship in life - the office culture also begins with having the best intentions at heart and then making sure those intentions convert to actions. So dont just 'think' about having an open culture - Make sure that your attitude is truly open. My idea of a good working culture is a place where accountability and responsibility go very much hand in hand. Warmth and openess will come automatically if the team members are secure about their roles and organization's expectations from each employee... The role that a team leader plays in shaping the culture - almost single-handedly - is undeniable. True leadership comes through in absolutely the smallest of things that we do. Or dont do. How much does it cost to give th...
