"I was busy"- A truth or a lie?

You meet your school friend after a good 5-10 years and ask the reason of not keeping in touch with you and he/she replies, "I was keeping busy with my life"! You are in urgent need of sharing your happiness or sorrow with your boyfriend/girlfriend and ends up making a call to him/her, only to see it getting rejected and later you receive a text indicating that he/she was too busy to take your call! You follow a client for a month or so and he always says, "he's busy!" You make a weekend plan with your friends and you realize on Friday that none of your friends pick the call and everybody reverts with a text saying, "I am keeping busy this weekend"!

These are the common circumstances which we come across everyday but the question is, Do people really keep so busy that they don't find time for the person who genuinely remembers them? I am not debating for the fact that keeping busy is always a reason to avoid somebody but what irritates is that those people pretend to be so when they are actually not so occupied! Why does the sentence "I am busy" comes in existence only when someone genuinely wants to speak? Why doesn't this sentence come from our parents? If they are really so busy then why do we see their regular updates on Social media with some or the other thing!!! 

Perhaps, the reason is simple! Our parents are never so busy that they don't find time for us. In fact, we are the utmost priority for them. So, why cant we be like them!! On the other hand, the people who always utilize "I am busy" as an excuse to avoid somebody, are the same people who are utter failure in time management at their respective organisations. In our respective lives, we have all got 24 hours each and these 24 hours are sufficient to assign equal time to all your works. Speaking to your friend, girlfriend or boyfriend or client or vendor, is the most constructive way to utilize your free time which otherwise would have got wasted in playing Facebook games or gossiping with your colleagues!

Apparently, no one keeps so busy in their work that they cannot respond to somebody's mails, calls or texts! It's just the matter of "prioritizing" which we do not find in the case of this particular lot of people who likes to pretend they are busy!

 Having not been able to give time to everything in your life, only indicates that you are poor at "Time management" which subsequently indicates that you are poor in any management of your professional as well as personal life!! 

Next time you plan to say somebody that you are busy! think, ponder and contemplate whether the work which you are doing really holds so much of importance that you ignore your loved ones at the cost of saving your "busy bee" status!!!

Is so much of media scrutiny good for new government??

Its been almost 5 months since this entire election process started and media, indeed, has done a commendable job in keeping us up to date about all the happenings. In the process, the questions asked by media to common public, underwent many transitional stages. Initially, they posed a question "whether or not Mr. Narendra Modi would be Prime Ministerial candidate from BJP?" which later changed to "whether or not BJP would get a clear majority under the leadership of Mr. Modi?" Later, we were asked about the Cabinet Members and oath taking date & time!! Finally, our rational mind have been challenged by one more question as to what should be the schedule and strategies of new government??? I think its time to say out loudly that its ENOUGH!!

No doubt, media has done an impeccable job in bringing about awareness in general public in the entire election process but there has to be an end. Rather, media should feel happy for the fact that their efforts have been well received and Mr. Modi has been elected as the Prime Minister of this beautiful nation. Imagine the situation where you are constantly scrutinized while doing your job and ponder! whether you could perform at your level best in that given situation. Its really tough and sometimes it can only press the panic button as it happened in the case of AAP (Aam Admi Party) recently in Delhi. Mr. Arvind Kejriwal obliged media by saying that they are free and most welcome to scrutinize their every act which resulted in the collapse of his government in Delhi. 

My point is, lets set Mr. Narendra Bhai Modi free, because its his government and he knows how to run it better than anybody! Probably, that's why we have elected him. Public has done its work, media has been constantly spreading awareness, Mr. Modi is the new PM of India and he has appointed his cabinet too, so what's the point in nagging it any further. Nobody likes any sort of intervention in the way anybody works. So, Please set them free and allow them to breathe and strategize for our country!! 

We must pick some other topics for our tea time discussion now and trust me our new government will not mind it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :P

Cheers!

"Understand your Relation better!"

... Sometimes the habit of reading blogs make you to ponder on the issues which needs to be addressed strongly in public and on Social media. Today, while reading the blogs of the great writer Mr. Chetan Bhagat, I was struck by a point where he advises women to be more Self Confident and to have more Self respect! (words were not in the same way, though!). After reading the blog, I realized that there was something deep into that, which needs to be explained in depth!

While pursing my graduation, I came across lot of couples where all the girlfriend had one thing in common! that their boyfriend's were used to take them for granted. I personally did not have any stable relation at that time so I was always curious about Pros & cons of having a relationship. Perhaps, I was hurrying myself up to get into a stable relationship because that is what every college goer desires, to have a girlfriend/boyfriend! May be, that was the effect of my age and sometimes to be honest, I felt inferior to the guys who had girlfriends! :) But I did have close female friends with whom I was used to discuss their relation with their guys and what I noticed in their relation, was the lack of Trust and the existence of insecurity! 

Lack of Trust, perhaps, is the biggest reason for most of the couple to call of their relation and in some cases, relations have even broken after 6-7 Years. Astonishing! Aint it? I read somewhere once, "Distrust in a relationship, is like a crack in the mirror which can never be in its original self again!"  The guys must understand that their girls have a world outside them too. She has other friends, she loves hanging around with them too and most importantly she may also have other male friends who are dear to her ! But that doesn't mean She's cheating on you. A girl, when she is in love, can do anything for her guy and by disrespecting her or by distrusting her, you are only giving her reasons to call it off with you. There is no point of getting obsessive and possessive, if she is meant to be with you, she will be with you! Shrug this worm of Distrust off your mind! This distrust leads to insecurity! 

The same goes for girls too. You must feel more strengthened when you are in LOVE with a guy whom you have chosen yourself. I have seen girls, praising about their guys endlessly or talking about him solely, even 

when you are sitting with your "Pals" who have been your friends even before he entered in your life. Understand! that your boyfriend might be dear to you but he is just a human being and your other male friends have their space and self respect too, so, by doing this you are first of all spoiling the fun which you would probably have with your friends and secondly, pushing your Pals in the ditch of boredom! 

Instead, praise him, in front of him! He will feel more secured and contented. Do not accept everything what he demands from you and remember, you still have the parents whom you are answerable to! By doing so, you are asking your guy to live in curiosity and trust me! guys love this! 

Have a self respect and do not accept his ego cos you have your own, right! Voice your likes and dislikes to him and trust me! He will be yours forever!!

Cheers!!!!!!!!

A Gesture worth Millions!!

... While I was growing up, I was always used to wonder as to what would be the one thing which unites us all in spite of  we belonging to different race, regions, religions, caste & creed because these are the factors which are responsible for the maximum violence which occurs in our country. Though I could not find out that particular thing but what I learnt in the process was very overwhelming and indeed astonishing! There is one thing which we all have but we utilize it in a very controlled manner i.e SMILE!

I read somewhere, "Smile a lot, it costs nothing"! But in this fast paced life, we've all forgotten to do that. Perhaps we think its taxable too. Its the strongest weapon which we have today and indeed can solve all the problems in life. Smile, perhaps, is the only best response to all your critics and a big "thank you" to all your admirers. 

The story is of 22nd April 2014, "I was going on a client meet and was peacefully driving on the road but in the meantime, a guy on Yamaha RXZ collided with "Fiesta", Ah! it was painful! Indeed, for both of them! Be it in monetary term for the guy sitting in fiesta or physical bruises for the guy on Yamaha RXZ. But sometimes we must leave practicality and hence, I ran towards the Biker who was lying on the road with the blood gushing out from all his bruises. I helped that guy and took him to pharmacy which was about 200 Meters away from the place of accident, bought a roll of cotton and helped him to wash his wounds. We both thought for few minutes that the guy in fiesta would have sped away but we were wrong. He actually came back, accepted his mistakes and requested the biker to come along with him to hospital. Biker refused profoundly but he wore a SMILE on his face for the Fiesta guy which won everybody's heart. He just had to say this to Fiesta guy, " Sir, these things keep happening but make sure you drive safe next time because it could be your relative next time". Indeed!

I knew I had met a hero (in my own terms) and he had set an example for everybody. He smiled at me and I knew it was for "Thanks a ton!!"

I felt so good of myself and why not I had learnt a new way to answer my critics & to say "Thanks a tonn!" to my well wishers!!!

SMILE :)

CHEERS!!!!!!!!  

Advent of MMTonline gives new hope and raises the bar in Machine Tools Advertising

....While everyone in the manufacturing industry in general, worries about current economic slowdown and decrease in their production capacity due to the increasing cost of raw materials, there are people in Indian Manufacturing market who are considering this as a positive trend. I, often wonder, what makes these people to think positively and of course, optimistically about the current slowdown!! The question remains unanswered, till date! The best answer which I could find, was the advent of new standards in the way Indian Machine tool manufacturers were used to advertise!
During my various conversation with many of the experts of Indian Machine Tools manufacturing business and on the basis of my own research, the best thing which popped up, was some of the interesting statistics! According to IMTMA (Indian Machine Tools Manufacturers Association) data, India Stands 13th in production and 6th in the consumption of Machine Tools in the world. Since, the manufacturing capacity has reached to saturation level and growth rate for the machine tools industry is declining in developed economies, shifting focus to low cost & high skill geographies like India, has become imperative. The Indian machine Tool industry has around 1000 units in the production of machine tools,accessories,subsystems and parts, out of which around 20 in the large scale sector contributes to 70 percent of the turnover and rest are in the SME Sector.
There is a huge gap in the production and consumption in the country itself if we compare the data of 2 consecutive fiscal year 2011-12 & 2012-13. Though the exports have risen by 19% and imports have gone down by 1%, there is still a huge scope to increase the exports further and bringing down the imports.
Now, this particular gap, prompted us to come up with the perfect answer to entire Indian  Machine tool Industry i.e. www.mmtonline.in . The idea is to increase the reach of Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers and take them globally so that the exports increases further and imports come down. Unlike print media (Specially Industrial Magazines), where the reach is limited and the database is confined to one particular set of subscribers, the MMTonline opens to new market everyday and is available 24/7 for entire Machine Tool Manufacturing Industry. According to GMTMA (German Machine Tool Manufacturers Association) Executive Director Helmut Von Monschaw's Conversation with PTI, "the Indian Machine Tool manufacturers must look abroad as there is a huge demand in German Markets. Driven by the need to reduce costs and source equipment at optimal prices, several German firms have started procuring machine tools from other countries like China, Russia and Bulgaria. India can join the table too."Hence, the MMTonline gives a perfect platform where IMTM can have unlimited reach, can share ideas, technological advances, new processes and predominantly can advertise if they seek entry in the new markets and if they intend to diversify. The platform also demands to work collaboratively in order to achieve mutual growth in the coming years. Therefore, the advent of MMTonline has given new hopes and has indeed raised the bar in Machine Tool Advertising!!!  

.......Surviving with an orphan disease!

..... Most of the times in our life, we worry solely about achieving SUCCESS, about our future and about the prospects of making our finances strong. Hardly is the time, when we think about the people who have played a huge role in our lives to bring us to a level where we are confident of ourselves and can actually think about the betterment of our respective future. Those people, who were on Cloud 9, when we were born in this world full of agonies but still they managed to smile and felt complete. They compromised all their desires on giving us a better future and sacrificed their sleep and dreams in order to enable us to dream and to dream big!! We, in this materialistic world, call them MOM & DAD!!


"Mom is a person where our heart stays! & Dad is a creature, whose heart stays with us!!!"

Perhaps, this is the reason why! we are so possessive about our Mom and subsequently Dad is so possessive about us!

But, there is nothing new in explaining the definition of MOM & DAD!
What's new is, to realize the truth! To envisage the sense of loneliness and void created after they are gone! Lets face it and realize that this is the truth! I know, its hard to believe that the creatures whom we thought immortal, can be gone someday leaving behind beautiful memories and after setting a substantial benchmark which no other person can compete with!
The only thing which they expect is LOVE as a return gift against the many expensive gifts they have given us all through our life. Now is the time when we realize the truth, and yes! accept it too!
Alas! they will not be there forever, so lets squeeze each and every moment spent with them and extract every single drop of happiness from it to make them feel ecstatic, to make them complete again, to make them realize their dreams and to make them to live again! Otherwise, the days are not far where we can find ourselves Surviving with an orphan disease! A disease of loneliness! A disease of Emptiness! A disease of incompleteness!!

Thanks for reading!

Are you over sharing your relationship???

Are you putting the details of your love life all over the Internet without realizing it? 

Sharing the intimate details of your life online is dangerous business and most often than not we don't realize where and when to draw the line. Some things are better off kept private. Here are a few signs that tell you whether or not you're over-sharing your relationships online.

1. Your friends know every detail of your relationship- Did you change your relationship status from 'single' to 'committed' after just a few dates? If your friends know your Saturday night plans or what you gifted your partner on their promotion, it might be time to back off just a little.

2. You post everything up for approval- Are you obsessed with getting 'likes' and comments on your pictures and updates? If you like capturing every little moment and put it up online for adulation and approval, its time to stop. Realize that people you hardly know unknowingly have a say on your life and you're only pining for that attention instead of warding it away.

3.You and your partner have more contact online than in person- If the two of you are incredibly busy with your lives but don't miss a chance to post some random bouts of affection for each other online, its time to think about how much of that PDA is real and how much is made up

4.You update your status on a date- The minute that romantic evening you had planned out for yourself begins, you feel the need to inform the entire world about it. You're also concerned about what others must be thinking of you after reading your update. This makes the experience more superficial than meaningful.

5.You're concerned about what others think of your partner- Over most things, you're swayed by the opinions of your friends and family based on what they see online. Sometimes even comments from acquaintances or complete strangers bother you.
