Endings and beginings...

Life is full of these ... and yet we still seem to mourn the endings and get excited about the beginings! all the time... everytime...

Is this what is the miracle called life?

2008 is on the verge of becoming the past... and 2009 is going to be the present and not the future anymore...

So how was 2008? same as every other year i guess...
some highs, some lows...
some times of utter despair,
some full of hope and new directions,
and some broken promises,
some moments full of life,
and some times i wished i wasn't alive,
festivities and celebrations on one hand,
funerals and illnesses on the other,
intimacy and passion was there,
strangely so was distance and loneliness,
some frustrating moments of silence,
where the heart wanted to shout and scream,
and some moments of emotional cacophony,
when all i wanted was a dessert of silence,
tender moments of pure unadulterated love
which only a child can bring,
Thankfully some moments of being one myself...

so ya - all in all... a pretty normal year... i guess...

What would 2009 bring with it?

maybe i'll revisit this entry next 31st dec and see what i can fill in then...

till then...

adieu 2008
welcome 2009...

Apni zameen main hoon khud Aasmaan bhi main Apni pyaas bhi main hi hoon Uss pyaas ki raahat bhi main Khud ki khushi to hoon hi Apna hi hoon gam bhi Rakshak main hi to hoon apni Aur shayad apni hi bhakshak bhi Bhanwar mein fassi bhi main hoon Bachne ka sahara bhi Iss safar ka aagaaz bhi main hoon Aur safar ka anjaam bhi Dhoop se tadpana bhi mujhe hai Thandak ki chaaya bhi main Raste ki thokar bhi main hoon Sahara liye ek haath bhi main Raat ka andhera hoon main Chandani ki roshni bhi hoon Savere ki thandak hoon main Aur dhoop ki tadpan bhi hoon Main hi manzil hoon khud apni Main hi hoon apna safar bhi Main hi karwaan iss safar ka Uss karwaan mein main tanha bhi Main hi khud ki hamsafar hoon Hoon apni hi saheli bhi Kab kaise main ban gayi Khud apni hi parchhayi bhi…

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...
