Balancing acts...

Life seems to be full of these balancing acts, na? some of them larger than life and some so tiny that till u pay attention u wont even realise that you're really balancing between two different and mostly contrasting pulls on you. And for what its worth - the resolutions of these contrasting forces is pretty much the sum total of what we as people are all about!!! Some recent ones -

- Boss' priority on a project vs what i think is priority on my own job list!
(Resolution - start the boss' work and hopefully find someone to delegate it to - but keep focus and larger part of my time for my own priority!!)

- Eating with a friend in office vs catching up on networking gossip with another colleague
(Resolution - Keep lunch for friend (longer time spent...) but catch up with colleague over a smoke break - so what if i get exposed to some passive smoke!)

- Play the dutiful daughter to mom or go out and have another fun night with friends (Resolution - Friday night for mom ... but sat afternoon onwards for fun!!)

- Indulging in some good old laziness... or pull ass out of bed for some much needed exercise!!!
(Resolution - easy one this - indulge today, exercise tomorrow!)

- Proactively advise a friend on the errors of her ways .. wait till she comes to her senses and asks for it herself
(Resolution - Drop some hints around her abt how great my counselling skills are and expedite the approach herself mode!!)

Hmmm.. having written these down... its not that tough, is it??

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...
