Power & willingness to move on...

Daddu
As usual after a long gap I was at home for a vacation in December 2011. Like always this trip was full of happening things and i was fully occupied. Amid all this every time i go home I pay a visit to my grand parents at our ancestral village and this time too I went to meet them. Its always been a privilege to spare time with them and they too enjoy they same and wish us richly. I dont know how other family members feel but I always try to see their prospective & way of thinking to know their success story.After a long gap of many years Daddu took me to the farm lands and we were discussing some criticality in the farming and the raising cost factor. The rising cols of labour to the cheap rate asked by the local vbendors for the crop was all we were discussing. Amid all this what I could notice is his interest in buying few more acres of farming land & adding to his existing huge area. the way he was enthusiastic about the job he best knows, farming to arranging funds to buy more land, just chilled me. He at his late nintees is still planning and he has got strong ideas to execute the ideas. In is liife span he might have seen more than 60 crop years but amid all these ups & downs his determination has net shaken. And at this age too he does the farming for the 60-70 acres ofland he has & pleans to buy more. Howcome he is maintaining the positive minddset & where from he brings that courage and mood to carry on his job so restlessly. I fall sick and dont feel going to office on the 5th day but he never takes leave from his job i.e farming. I have witnessed he has a solution to every issue and he catches the root cause of the issue & bei\lieves in prevention more than to cure it. And at things or situations panicky for me he handles them with a different attitude and upfront. It may be because of his ample experience in life and because of the maturity & the way he thinks of life. But whatever decisions he takes its the best and I appreciate his way of thinking. I admire the way he keeps on going and the way he moves on. and of course he inspires me at this point of time and I love it.

FY 2012-13

On one hand a year has ended ( the Financial yr) making many changes in the business world amid many speculations. And yet in the light of new opportunities new targets & new horizons have been set for many business line. This year for me was a good year with many outcomes and a feel good factor is all to remember.But there are certain areas where I think  better work could be done and things could be different. There were possibilities which were allowed to let go and there were limitations which could have been  challenged. But as always to regret I have nothing.

So as the new FY has already started, lets jump on to it..

Ex Colleagues & Friends.

After a long time I spoke to one of my fellow colleague in my last company and had a brief chat. It was a very good courtesy call but after we are done, I just felt sorry for not keeping in touch with him & others. But why; I just did a deep dive into this. What i got to realize could be a reason for a mass of people & for people who have to learn the art of maintaining a work-life balance. I remember my last days in college when our seniors telling us that the days are not far when we will miss these days and even find time to see or talk to each other. I find they were right as from the day I joined the first job & the changes & got experience in industry, we have become  machines and left behind life. We now follow our office schedule; the meetings, the reviews, reports and targets. Policies, procedures and organizational issues have replaced the personal care, concern and the humanness in ourselves. for the sake of business and organizational goals we have lost our personal taste to the relations. In turn we have made the corporate colleagues and people whom we work, part of our relations. Its better as we share the same work place and we understand each other in a better way and the longer we work in a company we make good contacts there and its always a good sign for man. But issue raises when you want to keep the contacts active and limitations at your work place hinders to maintain that good relation. But people should understand the issue & the reason behind to revive it periodically. 
As far as I am concerned I always make friends with colleagues and subordinate & "Sirs" with all my seniors and I try to keep in touch regularly. and i understand the fact that its impossible to be in touch with everybody always but it happens. Somewhere I miss out I feel sorry and I must say it to them.Spoke with Vinoth after a long gap of 4-5 months and felt good that he still remembers and must be kept in touch.
