Mighty Boss n Poor U!

Why you and the boss are totally different When you take a long time, you're slow. When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough. When you don't do it, you're lazy. When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy. When you make a mistake, you're an idiot. When your boss makes a mistake, he's only human. When doing something without being told, you're overstepping your authority. When your boss does the same thing, that's initiative. When you take a stand, you're being bull-headed. When your boss does it, he's being firm. When you overlooked a rule of etiquette, you're being rude. When your boss skips a few rules, he's being original. When you please your boss, you're apple polishing. When your boss pleases his boss, he's being co-operative. When you're out of the office, you're wandering around. When your boss is out of the office, he's on business. When you're on a day off s

The TBs of Corporate universe

Don't let the toxic bosses (TBs) get you down Toxic bosses are an organisational reality. Unfortunately, the corporate universe values the knowledge of leadership more than the actual practice of leadership, which is relegated to showcasing by some iconic leaders. The corporate universe, therefore, finds itself strewn with toxic bosses or TBs; those who know their leadership theory too well but their horrific real-time leadership practices would leave even their teachers red-nosed and embarrassed.  However, success in the work-world belongs to those who have developed the ability to manage all kinds of complex bosses; they veer through the corporate maze much faster and with a lot more ease compared to those who never got such an opportunity or could tackle only simple passes.  Whether your boss is an indecisive chocolate wrapper, an unambitious grunt, a control freak, a politician or a whip–cracker, all TBs are a blessing; they help you build your long-term versatility to ta

Being bitchy is in. Thu, Mar 18 02:50 PM Cannot help but post it as is. Just to spread the awareness! :) http://in.news.yahoo.com/248/20100318/1610/tls-being-bitchy-is-in_1.html Sweet, goody- goody girls of the recession - move over.  Bitchy is back in business.  Here's our list of women who make the cut It's the season of rich lists - the useful, if sometimes cruel, way of telling people where exactly they stand in the world; what exactly is their worth. Don't get us wrong - we don't have anything against lists. What we believe is that there are other ways of weighing self worth as well. Other ways that show how far you've come, or how far you'll go.  Other ways which measure how much power you have in you to intimidate the people around you. Enter, The Bitch List. Recognising the merits of a list like this one becomes all the more pertinent this season. As we emerge out of the period of global recession, everybody's gotten a little tired of being t

Many things, called LOVE!

Image
Refer dictionary and you shall get the meanings like "a strong affection," "an unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for others," and " to feel a passion or tenderness." Practically, LOVE represents a million varied feelings while visiting personal opinions and expressions of  people. That truly recounts that one’s personal opinion about love is it's most complicated a FEELING and goes much deeper than any other such thing. Traditionally, To love is to give up everything for another’s happiness. So says the high-esteemed narratives on love-tales of eternal lovers  world over. Even in India, we have quite a few stories of selfless and devotional love not only of Radha-Krishna but a lot other mortal stories Though, a pragmatic approach (as per my own feelings and observations..) is not to be just plane-irrational with state of affairs as it never culminates with the desired end. Likewise, it all operates in Love.  The more you try to give//like

a Tribute to Marilyn Monroe.. my 1'st Dream Girl!

Image
Born, as Norma Jean Mortensen , but not many know her as that.  This is a woman who gave the word 'woman' a new meaning and terms like ‘seduction’ and ‘sexual appeal’ were introduced to a different level all together ..only through her demeanours. ...the legendary Marilyn Monroe She is a complete history to me. I came to this world much later.. when she had already completed her stint long back, on planet Earth. ...same as Dinosaurs did. But these two remain my biggest fantasies, till date. What it would really have been.. like, seeing those creatures while having her by my side. I always keep on wondering!  I really owe her a lot for shaping my thoughts on women-charisma, charm and sexuality.  Ms Monroe says... "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."  "I believe that everything

Random thought on the occasion of Women's day!

I so very much know that "woman is the glory of creation" ...and the value that woman brings along with her on the planet earth. Beyond all the obvious projections of her being a so selfless.. Mother, Sister, Friend, Girlfriend, Daughter, and may be many more... I am forced to analyse it beyond all these manifestations... by taking some real life references and stark situations. The idea behind the celebration of Women's Day was to showcase equality for women, but even now women are not treated with equality. Just the other day I was trying to get a rickshaw - already late for work and none of these miserable autorickshawwallahs were in sight. Five minutes pass. A triplet of college girls arrive to my left. Finally I see a rickshaw in sight and I'm waving at him like a madman. The SOB totally ignores me and stops for the females. And these females gladly step in and go off to their destination, which will probably be a college where they will sit outside and have
