Why are we so blind to see...

I remember hearing this song when i was in my MBA days.. dont remember the title or for that matter the singer either... just these 2 lines stuck in my head...

Oh why are we... so blind to see...
That the ones we hurt... are you and me...

Its the truest statement and assessment for almost every relationship i have been a part of or even observed closely. The people who hurt us the most are always the ones we care about the most - and vice versa. Of course its self-explanatory why it hurts more. 

but a bigger tragedy is when we kind of start ignoring each other... or taking the US for granted. Because you can recover from a difference of opinion, but not from your partner not having an opinion at all on things which matter to you, or sometimes YOU. 
So i guess thats enough of a context to explain why the lines below were coming to me a few days back...

When the hug gets a little loose, 
The conversations get a bit stilted
When the presence makes you wish for absence...Know that the hearts are wilting.                                                                  
When the touch becomes routineAnd the thoughts get mundaneWhen a deep sigh is your hourly routine...Know that the minds are distancing...
When you long for a moment of togetherness sitting next to each other,When things unsaid are more than thoughts shared,When judgements come faster than support...know that the end is nigh....x

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...
