Trying to change others....

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others...

What has the technology given us with???

1. We (humans) used to fight for land, and are still doing the same.

2. We used to be afraid of the unknown domain, and we still are.

3. We used to show our faith in God especially in worst times, & still follow it.

4. We used to worry about our living, and still keep that.

5. We all wanted to become better than the person next door, and still want that.

And the list continues…

So, what have we got???

1. The wooden sticks & swords have given way to guns & bombs thus giving us better means to fight ;-)

2. Science has provided us logical reason to be afraid of unknown ;-)

3. Technology is working hard in this respect so that something can be changed here too ;-)

4. We used to worry about food & shelter (basically) and now technology has given us with automobiles, electronic gadgets and so many things to worry about ;-)

5. The definition for becoming better was wealth mainly, now it includes: a more luxurious car, a more expensive mobile, a more expensive wrist watch, a more expensive dress, a bigger house, and so many things to become better ;-)

Class assignment - Stories with morals in it ;-)

A teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.

Kathy said, “My father’s a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess.” “And what’s the moral of the story?” asked the teacher.“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!” “Very good,” said the teacher.

Next little Lucy raised a hand and said, “Our family are farmers, too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks and the moral to this story is, don’t count your chickens until they’re hatched.” “That was a fine story Lucy.

Johnny, do you have a story to share?”“Yes, ma’am! My daddy told me this story about my Aunt Marge. She was a flight engineer during Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory, and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a Machete. So .. she drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn’t break. Then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed 70 of them with the machine gun until it ran out of bullets! Then she killed 20 more with the machete till the blade broke; then she killed the last 10 with her bare hands.”“Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher, “what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?”

...

...

...

“Stay away from Aunt Marge when she’s been drinking"    :D

Sangeet sunkar gyan nahi milta,
Mandir jake bhagwaan nahi milta,
Pathar ko log isliye poojte hain kyonki,
Dil mein basa unhe bhagwaan nahi dikhta !!!

कुछ लोग मतलब के लिए ढूढते है मुझे | बिन मतलब कोई आए तो क्या बात है,
क़त्ल कर के तो सब ले जाएँगे दिल मेरा | कोई बातो से ले जाए तो क्या बात है,

जो शरीफो की शराफत मे बात ना हो | 1 शराबी कह जाए तो क्या बात है,
ज़िंदगी रहने तक तो खुशी दूँगा सबको…  किसिको मेरी मौत पे खुशी मिल जाए तो क्या बात है….!!!

Some people can never forget their place. Mr Pradhan of TATA SONS issued a statement to reflect his true place - a cattleyard...



http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/B-school-placements-are-like-cattle-fairs-held-at-Pushkar/articleshow/10877001.cms

AHMEDABAD: Campus placements at top business schools are like cattle fairs held atPushkar every year, said Tata Sons Chief (Group HR) Satish Pradhan while addressing the annual national business summit Confluence-2011 at Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad on Friday. 

Pradhan said the campus placements in instituteslike IIMs are like auctioning of cattle at Pushkar mela, where cattle are groomed and painted so that they fetch the best price at the auction. "Just like cattle is paraded and traded at the fair, the highest tag goes to the student with the best performance during the two years (of their programme)," he said. 

I guess that Mr. Pradhan has come to top from some local college like those opened at every corner of the street now a days. Else he should have known that those who enter the IITs & IIMs in India are among the most intellectual brains available in the country. Yes, there is cut-throat competitions to get the job & succeed ahead but thats present even when you enter the organizations i.e. corporate world. That is the nature that one has to crush other to move ahead (Survival of the fittest), but that doesn't makes us eligible to be called cattles...

Comparing the placements of colleges like IIMs with cattle fair is not only rude & unwise but an insult to the Indian education system as a whole. Let me remind Mr. Pradhan that even though it was Mr. TATA's dream / vision to bring a car of Rs 1 lac, but it was the engineers & managers graduated from such colleges only who made that dream a reality.

So, if Mr. Pradhan can't give respect to others, he should look at his back once & will find that he had once traveled the same road that he is criticizing now. He need to mind his words before issuing such statements...

A Lesson In Psychology......

When someone laughs too much,
Even on stupid things,
Be sure that person is Sad deep inside...

When someone sleeps a lot,
Be sure that person is Lonely...

When someone does not talk much,
'and If he talks, he Talks Fast,
Be sure the Person Keeps Secrets...

When someone does not Cry,
Be Sure that Person is Weak...

When someone Eats in an Abnormal Way,
Be sure that Person is Always in Tension...

'And Finally..
When someone Asks about you,
Although that person May Be busy,
Be sure that someone Loves You.. !!!

Waqt ke saath zamana aage ko badta gaya,
Par humara to waqt jaise wahin tham sa gaya,
Logon ka status waqt ke saath badata chala gaya,
Aur main yahan khada apne bachpan mein reh gaya...

ALEXANDER THE GREAT'S LAST WORDS .....

Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last.
He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
"My first desire is that", said Alexander, "My physicians alone must carry my coffin." After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury".
The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin".
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared bring the question to their lips.. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"
At this Alexander took a deep breath and said: "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.
Lessons to learn from last 3 wishes of King Alexander...
I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world".
With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . .
LESSONS TO LEARN:
  • Remember, your good health is in your own hands, look after it.
  • Wealth is only meaningful if you can enjoy while you are still alive and kicking.
  • What you do for yourself dies with you but what you do for others, lives on.
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going.....

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Hence, all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, "I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness.
Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me."
It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is..."

A lovely quote for my friends....

दिन हुआ है तो रात भी होगी,
हो मत उदास कभी तो बात भी होगी,
इतने प्यार से दोस्ती की है खुदा की कसम,
जिंदगी रही तो मुलाकात भी होगी !!!

कोशिश कीजिए हमें याद करने की,
लम्हे तो अपने आप ही मिल जायेंगे,
तमन्ना कीजिए हमें मिलने की,
बहाने तो अपने आप ही मिल जायेंगे !!!

What To Leave Out of Your Resume...

There's a lot one is supposed to put on their resume, but have you remembered to pay attention to what should be removed?

Detail

If you have experience, your resume should show it. After all, your resume is the professional you - your life, experiences - everything that makes you a better candidates. And that doesn't mean you save on the print cost and use a small font-size and abbreviated descriptions so that it all fits into one page. If you've lived large, your resume should be large.

Just a Degree?

Everybody being interviewed has a degree. What do you have (i.e. work experience) that sets you apart. And not only do you need to mention work experience, but your accomplishments - they further set you apart.

Bad Paper

The paper your resume is printed on shouldn't be of an inferior quality. While most cyber cafes stock high quality paper, this is still worth paying attention to. A discerning HR at a premium company might be turned off by faded yellowing paper. And only A4!

Useless Hobbies

A hobby is a activity you do in your leisure time. There's nothing wrong with watching TV as a hobby, but the HR interviewing you views your hobbies as an extension of your productivity, and will ask you questions about it.

Fancy Fonts

Times New Roman, Helvetica and Arial are your friends. Comic Sans is not. That said, be safe with only one font for all headings, subheadings and descriptions.

Typos, Bad Grammar

Not allowed. Use short sentences, small, words. If you're still unsure, have it checked out by someone who knows the language better than you.

Lies

If you're caught, not only will you be banned from the company, but you also might be blacklisted from a lot of allied companies.

Embarrassing Email Address

This one is optional, but it is still advisable to change your email username from something irritating (e.g. handsomehunk@mail.net to something simple. The easiest? your name@email.

Honorific Titles and Flowery Language

An HR will laugh at "May I bring to your esteemed attention…"in your covering letter, or any attempts at projecting a grandiose image of yourself. The real you will be sitting right in front of the interviewer in a few days, not the resume.

Human Resourse Management in CORPORATE WORLD...

This is a true incident of how some of the most reputed compnies treat their employees and call it HUMAR RESOURSE MANAGEMENT. It clearly justifies a pic in the news of America where banner holder was saying: "WE ARE NOT HUMAN RESOURCE, WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS"

This particular incident happened with Mahindra Satyam, that has already been in news for one of the biggest scandals in corporate world (when it was Satyam only). The company has been recruiting heavily from the colleges and through off-campus selection, engineers to meet their requirement. The selection is based on various written tests and interviews before being finally selected as employee of the company. now the real story behind the curtain begins.

The trainees are made to go through classroom training and then have to take various tests against their training. Those who fail to meet a very stiff criteria are shown the exit, without giving a chance in form of extended training or so. Here the thing to be noted is that it is never informed before selection that such an exit can be there during training itself. The question is that if you have already selected the candidates on basis of tests & interviews as per your criteria, then isn't it responsibility of the company to give them at least one more chance and develop them to be competitive enough. If not, then what does "HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT" means if you want already talented employees only. There are candidates who have left their jobs to join thses organizations in hope of a better future. And this is what they get if they are not good enough to memorize the classroom teachings. This is the bright future that some of top companies especially in field of Information Technology offers. Nice right???

 Now coming to the incident, one of the trainee employee met with an accident after taking the last test of the training. Instead of helping the employee inany form, the company presonnel demended a resignation from the employee within a day and threatened a termination in case of non-compliance. This has happened when the said employee was almost unconsious and unable to even sit properly. The employee was neither declared the result officially nor was given any chance to meet the HR person as per policies of almost all companies as part of exit procedure. This is the way human resources are developed in IT industry it seems.

The question here is not about that employee. Its about the practices of the corporate world and why the inequality can't go away. Because anyone who gets the entry and some power in any organization, be it govt. or private concern, always tries to let their own near and dear ones prosper and rest are made to suffer in hell. Those who can say YES BOSS are good for the company and the bosses of course, and those who can work sincerely are only liabilities to the company???

Please comment if you agree or not.
