Circle of Life...

Old gives way to the new...
New gets old...
And so on...

am sure there is no one in the world for whom this is anything new, and yet... aren't we all still caught by surprise when life plays exactly the same out to us? It makes us stupid I guess - but its also what keeps us human.

Have always said that there's nothing more grounding that going to your parents' place... the habits we keep in that house for some reason are the same as when we were kids...simple, straight-forward values - Parents' have to be obeyed, No rude words to anyone, Shut up and do the chores, No nakhras of any sort will be tolerated... Things never change. Thank God!
And yet with time - things DO change.. subtly enough... maybe that's why it catches us by surprise to find out that the supporting hand while crossing the street is now the next-generation's, the person taking the lead to get things fixed around the house is no longer dad, the one complaining about the dust in the corners of the house is no longer your mum...

These days I find myself at yet another threshold of surprise... am the older generation now. Am the one responsible for grounding someone else... Can I do even half way what was done onto me? Anywhere even close?

Maybe that's what got me here after such a long break... wanting to get the thoughts out... feeling like I am coherent and not totally lost or overwhelmed... or just reconnecting with a part of me thats been waylaid by way too many new emotions and experiences taking over.

Writing is a healer as far as I am concerned... a therapist... a rejuvenator even...

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...
