"retrouvaille". </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Most of us would not have heard though. <br />
<br />
Retrouvaille means 'The joy of meeting of finding someone again after a long
separation; a kind of rediscovery. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I am going through and experiencing retrouvaille. 😊 <br />
<br />
It’s been 24 hours that I spoke to one of my childhood friend. Just visualize
if you are speaking to someone beloved after nearly three decades ~ 30 years.
And the emotional delight and fervent fondness wasn’t just in speaking, it was
in discovering that the frequency remains the same, the maturity of 30 years of growth
is in sync and the ecstasy of warmth is amplified and is playing in perfect harmony.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Distance has never killed the connection. The time gap
has not slayed the correlation. No interaction has not slaughtered the tenderness
of our friendship. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViS7gDLjgmld3qeQzocFmvW6TFuNnpw8ocqvEFCMoxWx6lOjeo3OPcW_iTS8W_EdxNL9wXSIStk5b0n2lo-ThANHF9PM0Mvln_-MXBRTR6lUjFDx6FwIhv5jkkKBF_vQnXbM8m7VBt_M/s630/F1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="630" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjViS7gDLjgmld3qeQzocFmvW6TFuNnpw8ocqvEFCMoxWx6lOjeo3OPcW_iTS8W_EdxNL9wXSIStk5b0n2lo-ThANHF9PM0Mvln_-MXBRTR6lUjFDx6FwIhv5jkkKBF_vQnXbM8m7VBt_M/s320/F1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It was in early 1991 that I moved out of my elementary school to high school and that was the last time I saw her. We never had phones as what is today, nor emails to be in contact. Things moved on and indeed we did not even realize that we should be in touch. Seems like - what is </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">networking today is got introduced only because of technology and commercialization.</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Innocent days, Virtuous thought process, pure souls,
naïve lifestyle and clear skies above. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We had spent hours together at school. Probably we
never understood the word ‘future’ then. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We never knew the definition of the word called ‘Challenge’.
All we might have thought was only of the gigantic word called ‘exam’ and ‘tests’.
I am sure that it wasn’t as tense setting as today. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">What is called ‘responsibility’ today was unstated then. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I still remember that we had played a skit which went ultra-popular
and we were told to play and present it multiple times on various platforms. And
we were only two of us who played. There was this science day where we did
experiments together. There were days where
I went to her home to collect notes if I was absent from school. There was a day
where I lost my way to reach her place, and the next consecutive time, she picked
me up from a place to take me, and from then on, her home was easy to access. Even
today, she might not stay in the same building and road though, but I purposely
go in front of her place just to experience that I was once there. Call it
nostalgic, sentimental, or yearning.. the sensation is relishing. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Currently, she stays in the western world and I am in the east, as
we had a video call… I kept on gazing at her same bubbly face, the same affection
being showered and I could not control few sparkles from my eyes and as they say
– when you are overwhelmed, neither can you express in words nor in any form of
language. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Language has barriers to express all that you feel. It was
yet again that moment for me yesterday that I could not talk, express, or have a
tête-à-tête. 😊 </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">But, I am sure there is a reason why we are reunited. There
is a reason why connexion got reconnected. And more so, with same symmetry. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Thank you, Anitha, for bringing in the momentous joy and taking
me back to my childhood. Along with a few you predominantly stand out. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have an
interesting reflection to share as I was decluttering my phone. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Please pick
your phone, go to speed dial. I am sure you will find a few names with
photographs or names with initials. This list also has some frequently dialed
people’s names as you scroll down. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">People who
are there on speed dial are one whom you have entitled as favorite numbers,
given them a star category and so they appear to be reached out in no time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, some
reflective exercise for you – See them all, think about them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why did
they get into a speed dial pad?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When did
they get into that zone?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More
importantly – Are they all still in the same zone of STAR category? How often
do you reach out and speak regularly? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Or Have they
slipped from that precinct or have you flipped?? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Summarizing,
reasons can be many to contemplate and justify our time and prioritizing. Irrespective
of reasons, our speed dial pad changes time and again. It reminds me of reading
a profound anecdote – All human actions, however, small have one or more of
these roots – chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, or desire. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I just
completed watching the movie ‘Thappad’ on amazon prime. It is 1:40 am and bells are
ringing in my mind, thoughts are flowing relentlessly. Feels like a gush of emotions
are storming my brain. Memories from my childhood – those lessons of social
studies thirty springs ago which I read on female feticide, infanticide,
inequality for a girl child, biased in education, discernment at the workplace,…. & even today I teach my son the same
chapters – discrimination & biasing.
I looked at the mirror adjacent to my study table and said - Have we really changed ??</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I
stepped into my adolescence<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- there was
this time I witnessed a series of dowry based movies. Women being burnt, abused,
tortured and the list is countless across all Indian languages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not far – the recent ‘Jabariya Jodi’ is as
well based on dowry reflecting that it still exists, and we all know it does.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So – Have we really changed ??<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been
a very obliging daughter to my parents. I was also told to compromise, adapt,
digest, and succumb to demands. I am still expected to be tolerant irrespective
of preferences. And when there was a juncture in my life to be vocal about my
choices – I had to go through both external and internal struggles and strifes.
When I recall it today, I had a few pillars who gave their shoulders to lean on.
But eventually who listened to my woes, came to rescue, stood with me were
females.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Probably females connect to
emotions than a male brain. Point is - there are exceptionally countable few
men who can stand for women. Even today – they prefer to stand a mile away. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been
reading this book ‘Lady you’re the boss’ - & I love this author, she almost
makes me feel that she was witnessing snippets of my life secretly from a
career-oriented and audacious working women standpoint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is able to write and I am able to relate
– because both of us are connecting - either have experienced or witnessed an
experience. What she narrates a decade ago is valid even today. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Women are paid less and are
evaluated to be delivered below the mark</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Women need to ask for proper hikes,
else it just isn’t given</span></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Women are judged on her looks and
appearance</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">And if you have been in senior management, you have assorted combats.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Everyday
struggles against biasing, demand for promotions & pays, domestic
balancing, motherhood guilt – she is still expected to keep up the equity as it
is her choice to be career-oriented. Her perpetual war is on from decades.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It makes me

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me
state as is – from Financial Express dated December 2019 – It is less than 3%
of global VC who invest in women-led teams. Isn’t this a Thappad as well? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As an
entrepreneur – let me assert – even today many of my friends, particularly
males don’t believe in what I do. There are few who outrightly ask ‘Oh! Are you
still running your business?’ And there are some silent spectators whispering
within – Let’s see what will she do? And those words ‘Oh! & Let’s see’ carry
the feelings of either insecurity or animosity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet again, have we really changed?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Women quench
her thirst feeling the feel that she is sacred wanted and she is an embodiment
of earth & nature to hold all the pains and pangs. On the contrary, men are
bought up with the sense that they are protectors & providers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Changes seem erstwhile and ephemeral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you have
reached here, irrespective of gender, drill deep and be fair to ask yourself –
Have we changed?? Or Can we change ??<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">These are your roads, these are your areas, this is your city, as you pass by it remains to narrate its stories, loud and clear. But, most of us either don’t head to it or ignore it. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">We would perish, but it remains with its glory, telling its stories for decades. Such are the stories of places around. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">Let’s go for another walk listening to some more interesting stories from the voice of this city. </span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b>Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL): </b>Took its inception as the Hindustan Aircraft Limited which was incorporated on December 1940 at Bangalore by Shri Walchand Hirachand a provident intellectual in association with the Government of Mysore. During March 1941, Govt of India became one of the key shareholders of this company. There were aircrafts that were manufactured before independence. During August 1963, Aeronautics India Limited (AIL) was incorporated as a Company wholly owned by the Government of India to undertake the manufacture of the MIG-21 aircraft. Two companies i.e. Hindustan Aircraft Limited and Aeronautics India Limited was merged officially on October 1st, 1964 by an amalgamation order issued by the Government of India and the Company thereby was named as "Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)"</span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b>Marathahalli</b>: Attached to HAL, another momentous story emerges for Marathahalli. There was this HF-24 Jetfighter ‘Marut’ which was designed and assembled at HAL, unfortunately, crash landed in this piece of land. And the word ‘halli’ meaning village in kannada, was joint to be getting recognized after this incident, and even today we continue to call its name in its tribute. </span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">The well documented political history starts with Kempegowda, but Bangalore does have its deep roots since ages of Gangas, Cholas, Hoysalas, Vijayanagara Kingdom and Mysore Wodeyars too. </span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">While Veera Ballala II, a Hoysala king was fed by an old woman here at today’s Kodigehalli and in return he gifts her this village and so-called ‘kodige’ in kannada meant ‘gift’ and this area still has its nice people around with same warmth. </span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b>Domlur</b>: Drive down towards MG Road from Marathahalli, you will have to pass through Domlur. Previously called as Bhagat Singh nagar today is popular with its name as Domlur and it is believed that this locality was full of white bearing flowers called ‘Thumbe/Tombe’ which was devoted to worship Lord Shiva. Tombe+Ooru in decades took its name as Domlur. Another folklore story of being a mosquito village also gets attached to Domlur, but its lineage remains hidden.</span></span></div>

<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b>Vidyaranyapura</b>: Formed during the 1970s is believed to be a battlefield then because of few relics that were found in this stretch.

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><b>Jayanagar T-Block</b>: Ever wondered what ‘T’ is here! This is one of the classic examples of consideration and reverence we had from times immemorial. This belt was formerly called ‘Thayapanahalli’. While it was merged & renamed as Jayanagar, we retained ‘T’ in between in honor of locals there and called it as Jayanagar T-Block. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />It was Sunday afternoon, and I was into cleaning mode. A continuous honking started disrupting music that was on. The noise was heard evidently as the room is just above the pathway from basement leading to main road. <br /><br />Honking is routine for most – helmets & headsets on or windows closed, it might not reach to an irritation level when on the move. How does it feel to hear someone honking continuously? It would annoy anybody after a point. I tried ignoring it for a minute or so, but when it continued – I could not resist peeping out. <br /><br />It was a white sedan, around 5 feet away from the main gate, honking as if the entire energy in his body was concentrated in his hands. I saw the fuss for 30 more seconds and was a little irked because plausibly it would hardly take 15 seconds to pull the hand brake, get down, open the gate, and drive away. <br /><br />Now he pulled his window panes and started shouting ‘Security, security ….’ <br /><br />The entire drama of honking and shouting went on for another 3 minutes. I could not hold back anymore – I put on my slippers and went down, by then the car just passed out of the gate. The poor security guy had come running all the way to just open the gate. I gave a cross look and said – “He could have opened it himself, what’s the big deal in it”. His straight-faced response was – “There are very few who think we are humans too. “<br /><br />Honestly, I felt bad for both. How thoughtless & inconsiderate of the white sedan driver and how indifferent one behaves with people involved in what we term as menial jobs. <br /><br />While I took the stairs back home – a thought passed by: <b><u>How can you open the gate in front of you if you have your gates closed from within. </u></b><br /><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am sitting here at this night fall, and looking at last
nine years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">whats app made its sound and someone unknown pinged me ‘Sir
g, will call you at 10am tomorrow morning’. Got a lead from packers and movers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nine years – I have no clue how did it pass. This warm abode
has seen me grow, has given me company in every ups and downs of life. It has
seen my happiness, glee and merriment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has seen me being forlorn, dejected and doomed. It has
seen me laughing over floor to lonely tears rolling down. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has sheltered me from all odds, given me that solitary
confidence to have shielded from world insulating me to comfort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wish it had a life, as it has given me its company
unconditionally…. all alive and incarnate. How I wish, it can come alive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Prakruthi’ … that’s what I called it when I entered in. I
fell in love with it the very first time when I came here and decided to be
here. After that was a life changing experience. Life changed in every angle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pure sunlight enters in at dawn, be it in my living
room or at kitchen – Sun rays peeps in and gives me that extra energy every
morning and when I look at those rays coming in and touching my feet to face,
as I open my door and windows… I wish ‘Good morning Rashmi’. (Rashmi –
Sunrays). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every evening – especially as we move close to full moon,
it’s a bliss to sit back at kitchen … enjoying the cool breeze and see a full
moon glow.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rains are little messy, when its heavy, else sipping a cup
of tea and watching rain is an experience with difference. My joy knows no
bounds for few minutes while a soft music does its playing<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Winter is super chill and when wind blows – I have couched
inside my blanket with full sweater and socks until my knees. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are umpteen number of days where I have fallen asleep
after a tiring day back here at the same sofa and woke up for a cockcrow sounds
and pigeons gutr-gutr sound at my windows which is so unlikely in a city like
Bangalore. I still hear chirping sounds of birds every dawn and dusk at this
place. I see eagles sitting on high buildings and on the top of the tree and
have contemplated why? I have witnessed
some rare species of birds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I see a complete concrete world growing from my kitchen and
try counting number of water tanks, when I feel bored. I have got irritated for
large crowd gathering and ear blasting music from temples all around my place
on festive days and their anniversaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As night falls, everything falls so silent all of a sudden,
that it makes me wonder is it the same bustling street that I see every morning.
I hear honks and people speaking late night as they walk by and I am still
working even if my clock ticks 2…3… and sometimes 4.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rarely I light candles around Buddha kept at an elevation
and put off all lights to watch him glow in my living room. And I ask… how can
I get enlightened like you? Those silent moments absorb me to solitude. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My birthdays have been super special all these nine years. I
don’t think I can ever thank and give back even a morsel of that happiness my
near and dear ones have bought to me. Starting from friends, colleagues, and
now my students….they have made it special on those days being here and this
abode has given them a place, made them feel comfortable and as they leave…
they always make it a point to say… it feels so positive here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coincidentally I changed my laptop’s wall paper two days
ago. It says ‘This too, shall pass”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As
I saw the following whatsapp message,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘when
do you plan to move’…. An emotional feeling welled up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was just thinking, how I wish I can also answer that
question philosophically. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Life moves on, and this place will witness more learning
from now on, enhance people’s skills, absorb more aptitude and would shelter to
give jobs to many. Discover flavours of psychology and more diversified
personalities giving them life skills. It would explore and certify people to
be much more enriched with management lessons making them thorough professionals.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With all that, it would make my dream come true, and nurture
my nascent kingdom giving me wings to fly. </span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why Life Skills Still Aren’t Important to Indian
Society?</span></span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is
mindfulness?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shouldn’t we
know how to regulate stress?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Won't
confidence matter in life!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shouldn't we
understand the psychology of motivation for things we do!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Isn't
thinking an important concept to be taught?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Isn't most
of our misery around our behaviour, beliefs and relationships around us! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Isn't Self-acceptance
and self-balance an important aspect of building ourselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shouldn't we
learn money management right from when we are adolescents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why are these skills aren’t
important to Indian Society? <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While there is a hue and cry on Artificial Intelligence
across industry, what makes human as a 'human' is his behaviour, human
characteristics such as critical and creative thinking, emotions, relationships,
decision making skills, presentability, communication to the context, social
skills, contemplation and many more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">More than anything, most important dynamic factor for all
above is - human mind can perceive, imagine and enhance skills substantially and
consistently with conscious effort. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But, why do we still feel that mental health isn’t a great
challenge and problem sounds to be a problem when things are not as expected. Problem
is a problem only when it hits places of concern such as academics, reputation,
& social norms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Majority of adults including working professionals and
parents seal themselves from learning post graduation or during work life unless
it is corporate sponsorship or credentials oriented. We don’t consider learning
as an investment for life. Learning needs dedication, and as we grow older,
learning and devoting time becomes a last priority and regrettably we cascade
the same mentality to the generations down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">From a personal experience standpoint, I have had parents
approaching me expecting instantaneous results – arrogance, social media addiction,
stressed out, can’t concentrate, gets irritated easily, friend circle is bad,
habits are getting worse etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But most
importantly alarm rings aloud only when all these are affecting their
academics, grades and CGPA’s. Rest all gets snoozed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, this truth extends as insecurity in leadership, inferiority
complex in speaking up, lacks self-confidence and consistency, or finds too
challenging to take decisions when it comes to working professionals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why Indian society is still ignorant about life skills,
mental health, behavioural building, personality and habits and many more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reason#1: We still don’t
believe that personality building needs training<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Personality just gets built as how we up bring each individual.
We do understand there are parameters around it, but seldom we think that it
can be trained and want to invest on personality building which is an outcome
of our psychology - mind, thinking and feeling-fundamental brick for overall being
and identity. Beauty of this is – it just can start anytime. It only demands
your time, perseverance, thought and conscious effort in implementing changes
you want to instil. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reason #2: We think
we know it all<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is nothing to be learnt on how to regulate emotions –
we know how it works. We never learnt any while we grew up and aren’t we good
enough to be leading lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course! We are leading lives, but each generation carries
its own challenges and today’s world needs much more hand holding, attention
and guiding than any other. These subjects are much more complex and abstract
and lies beyond advices and experience sharing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Emotional Intelligence is a science which encompasses self-introspection,
deep learning, step wise mentoring and transforming into a habit and habit
becomes a behaviour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reason #3: We aren’t
able to relate to the results instantaneously</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnI7bOT2OF2znZtCEOdIx1z-QiQ_QWw1L7QHligF6ER9T2RRzNQlKWLDVg6QeGGEdi7JqN3o3uV_cvw7A2Ir5rdQKWc6R3dDd2TFX5MiPjZDEcqjyruybdef8M0fFIy0R89cFnZVQenI/s1600/life-skills-who.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="786" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnI7bOT2OF2znZtCEOdIx1z-QiQ_QWw1L7QHligF6ER9T2RRzNQlKWLDVg6QeGGEdi7JqN3o3uV_cvw7A2Ir5rdQKWc6R3dDd2TFX5MiPjZDEcqjyruybdef8M0fFIy0R89cFnZVQenI/s320/life-skills-who.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></b></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With growth of instant age, expectation on moving things at
a fast pace is demanding which also has influenced the way we connect and convey
results. Instantaneous gratification or immediate outcomes aren’t practical in self-building
process. Growth involves its own ratio and time and it is neither a destination
to have arrived nor a rank to have accomplished. It’s for life. And life is a
long process, we can learn at any juncture, but we use it for life long. That’s
life skills. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reason #4: We still don’t
believe careers are made complementing our personality<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have many speaking on various other professions to be chosen,
but none want to explore to be first in the list. Earning is important, but
earning is just a by-product too. Various professions earn more as an
individual excels. And being excellence demands motivation, passion & purpose.
But, many of us are doomed out of this truth. We need careers explored,
experimented, well placed, steady promotions, security and titles to flaunt
around with onsite opportunities. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Intrinsic motivation, how satisfied &
happy an individual is, takes a last seat. Probably this is the same reason why
we have less than 35% engaged employees in various domains inhibiting us from
being ourselves, loving what we do, and ascending with what we can really thrive
for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reason #5: We still don’t
believe in emotional intelligence<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">EI is a buzzword since more than a decade. I see EI for
leaders, first time managers, leads, senior executives and specialists etc. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the EI workshops are for 3 days to one
week and we expect the world to change. How I wish EI could be taught and effectively
implemented in a week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We still lack basic awareness on what emotional intelligence
can do for us. IQ is valued more than EQ. But the hard truth is – EQ holds all
your keys. You can regulate any of your quotient if your EQ is in place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reason #6: We are
unaware that relationships build on social skills and we can acquire conflict
resolution skills <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Relationships are an important part of our lives. Social
skills and conflict resolution are never taught to us in any sense. We imbibe
it observing others or we develop it on priorities and pressures. But, social
intelligence is a beautiful life skill to embed and to connect ourselves with
outer world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Be it perception we build, living in real or virtual world, developing
relationships across borders and all places we go, conflict is a part of life
and how do we deal with it is more dealt on suggestions, advices, influences,
oppressions or extortions. It does impact our peace of mind. But, we don’t value
this piece because we are unacquainted with ourselves which extend itself for
being ignorant about others presence and identity too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and
he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has a wet paint on it and he'll have to
touch it to be sure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That’s the state of
our life skills awareness.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have you
ever thought of defining the term EXPERIENCE??</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, I
always thought EXPERIENCE is what happens to you. Be it learning, outcome of life, challenges,
practical scenarios of being, events you encounter etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have you
ever thought of CREATING EXPERIENCE! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes! I mean
CREATE. i.e build, craft, foster, conceive, make it happen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Please note,
let me be clear, I don’t mean EXPERIENCE in the context of business or
customers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are
very few in life who can CREATE EXPERIENCE for NO GAIN. And there are very few
blessed ones like me who receive such experiences, live those moments with
those episodes befitting a cherishable memory, heralding to another exciting
story of my life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At receiving
end – if one feels blessed, at other end the one who bestows it stands at an
altitude – probably like angels who work behind you – just to ensure to bring an
ARDENT SMILE on your face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was in
2004 that I wrote my last letter to my pen pal. One of the most unique and remarkable

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Years have
passed by, and I treasure his gifted books and letters and read through when I
can squeeze time. Few very close friends have heard about him. An unknown face
with an enlivening tale. Attempts to search have been staggering and sporadic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was on
December 2<sup>nd</sup> 2017 that few of my students of other program attended
a module of Life Skills – on THINKING & COGNITION. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Post the
session, at home – they wanted to glance at my home library. Amidst of it, came
a large greeting card – another exclusive hand made one’s from my CoreEL team,
which got an exclamation of WOW! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Well, I said,
this is one of them, and I carry some exceptional reminiscences and showed them
a five feet folded white sheet elucidating my personality which was fifteen years
old. They were stunned looking at its
details and niceties. Yet again! I had
to narrate the story behind it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was that

curious to know more about him. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They
probed me in all angles, and enquired to extract all known facts, but I had
very less information which was valid for more than a decade now. The day’s
excitement ended and we moved on respectively to our own dwellings and lanes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">December 11<sup>th</sup>
2017 – Post a counselling session at 9:45pm, I came out of the room to discover
four of my students sitting and waiting for me for more than two hours which
was little unexpected late in the night. They handed over a piece of paper and said to
solve a puzzle. I went literally speechless, and tried little harder to solve.
The puzzle led me to my library of books, where I found another colored piece
of paper with another puzzle, which then directed me to kitchen. Yes! They made
me play ‘treasure hunt’ 😊. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To add to the stratum, my search was
getting video recorded ‘live’. 😊 </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From kitchen came to living room, then to my
musical instrument, then on to dining hall, which at last led to outside home
to hunt for a POST. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coming out
of the main door – I saw a big red colored wrapped box with a small black
opening like a POST BOX. There seemed to
be surprise implanting hundreds of thoughts in my mind. A gift, a letter,
something to play, or some books or a show piece…lot of speculations and
assumptions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I unsealed
it carefully to find an enfolded brown mid sized envelope – with a 2017 Diary. I
opened the envelope to see a folded A4 size sheet of two pages, two cadbury
diary milk chocolates, a pack of sketch pens. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I opened the sheets

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes! The letter
which was in my hand was dated 10<sup>th</sup> December 2017 written by my pen

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Call it a
risk, an attempt, a venture or a luck – be it any, they had unearthed the
presence of my pen pal nearly 350kms away from Bangalore. Three of my students had ventured out with
sheer confidence to give it a try with all the clues they had collated.
Travelling through cold night of December from Bangalore, waiting early in the
morning before sun rise in an unknown desolated bus stop, exploring to villages
like strangers, enquiring with new set of people, travelling back again with
some hint of unacquainted address to another district of Karnataka, waiting in
a medical care unit for untiring three hours – at last they sat in front of Dr.
BS Manjunath – my good old pen pal introducing themselves as my students. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first
paragraph of the letter read – that even to this day such students or more precisely
called DISCIPLES exist. And I felt so delighted and jubilant to be calling them
as MINE. I proudly say ‘They belong to me’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blessed
souls on earth are few, and I am definitely one among them – to have
experienced the showering of affection, warmth and care just for a SMILE on my
face in return. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Scenario 1: During a workshop whose audience were high school students we asked to list challenges they would want to get it disappeared from their lives. We received assorted responses. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Major baskets were -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a) Examination </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">b) Competition </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">c) Pressure </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">d) Confusion of right versus wrong </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">e) Rivalry & Jealousy </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">f) Anxiety </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">g) No worrying of future and few more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Scenario 2: During few individual counselling sessions, I encountered below statements chronically:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">‘I prefer to spend time on net, visit social media to destress myself than talking to others at home’</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">‘I don't want to play with others as I don't think it's a fair play’. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">‘I can’t control myself when I don't get what I want’. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Scenario 3: Below statements sounds to be funny, but they are true discourses during an interview process -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a) There is no necessity to think and remember, google gives me all answers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">b) If I speak little louder, I have read that it’s a sign of confidence</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">c) I haven’t fought with any, I think I have good leadership skills. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, the main reason to write this snippet were few live experiences listed above. All this were with teenagers, and adults within 25 years, who have just spent less than one third of their lives and when we contemplate little deeper and envisage their future lives assuming these traits gets nurtured because there is none to either over rule it or influence to erase the perceived definitions, and the way they would build their personalities plus belief systems, social circles and relationship management - there is an alarm ringing. Upon that, industry and organizations emphasize on emotional intelligence being one of the primary job skill required by 2020 and in years to come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Emotional intelligence</b> is still implicit and misconstrued. Very strongly I sometimes feel it is abused. But what we do discern is that emotions play a very critical role in the overall quality of our personal and professional lives, more critical even than our actual measure of brain intelligence and IQ. While tools and technology can help us to learn and master information, nothing can replace our ability to learn, manage, and master our emotions and the emotions of those around us. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We don’t need our children to google search – How to develop thinking process? Or How to build better rapport with people sitting with gadgets inside doors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While there is natural physical, psychological, cognitive and intellectual development in this critical age, it becomes more important to give them right course of self management embedded with fundamentals of emotional intelligence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, emotional intelligence will be one of the top 10 job skills in 2020.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The awareness that emotional intelligence is an important job skill, in some cases even surpassing technical ability, has been growing in recent years. In a recent Career Builder Survey of more than 2,800 hiring managers and human resource professionals, 74% stated they valued emotional intelligence in an employee over IQ; 75% said they were more likely to promote a highly emotionally intelligent employee and 49% claimed they’d pass up a candidate with a high IQ but low emotional intelligence.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While organizations and many others in arena are putting such high premium on Emotional Intelligence, here are top five reasons why should it be nurtured right from teenage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1) Introspection to understand oneself – What makes my personality? What leads to me being with my habits, behavior and perception? – With introspection de-cluttering starts enabling one to answer more critically and logically. The rational approach decreases stress providing even temperament, helping to regulate with mood swings and avoids depression. Mental well being affects attitude inclines more on assertive thinking with positive approach towards life around us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2) Build rapport with people & relationships – Social Skills is one of the most imporant part of emotional intelligence. When we manage ourselves better, it gets extended to others in understanding their feelings, emotions and we start to be good listeners with which empathy builds leading to better relationships and broader networks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3) Communication - With broader networks shapes communication and we fathom the fact of non-verbal communication being used majorly does not undermine the importance of word selection, it’s true that our tone and body language -- which are ordained by emotions -- have a colossal bearing on how we understand and speak to one another. An emotionally intelligent person will find it easy to understand the meaning and motivations of others, and at the same time will do a better job of expressing his or her personal thoughts which also leads to effective conflict resolutions.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4) Nurture creativity and critical thinking – Thinking is an expensive avenue. While both creativity and critical thought process resides in human mind, what governs the situation is more consequential. While creativity also needs lucid mindset. And that arrives with wholesome cognitive and intellectual development whose engrained matter is emotional intelligence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5) Better decision making and leadership skills – Being a leader is not everybody’s cup of tea. Taking bold decisions both calculative and cautious, needs a fair amount of headship which comes as a combination of analysis, self confidence and instrospection on one’s own strength. Better decisions come from better judgements which inturn comes from clarity. Not only decision making, it also helps with disaster recovery if things gets misaligned. As the knack of getting things done increases, influencing others surges anywhere, even at organizations regardless of official title. An ability to rise above daily exasperations earns people with high emotional intelligence the respect from across the spectrum from top to bottom. One is regarded and remembered for virtues and morally being upright.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That reminds me of saying to my students often that - I carry an ambition to develop an emotionally intelligent generation.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Apartment living is common everywhere today. And according
to 2011 census data, 27%* of Bangalore population lived in apartments which
would have easily doubled by this time which deciphers that people are opting
for investing in apartments as their preferred homes for various reasons right
from affordability, availability, safety, micro families, relocation, easy
accessibility, amenities and many more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But, much more significant is ‘OUR BEHAVIOR’ in a social set
up and living in a community. Are we sensitive with others privacy, choices,
cooperation and discipline! Are we looked up as good neighbours! What is the
perception we build within the community we live in! Perception solely depends
on how we have been behaving consistently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltCiH2xtSsYTx9U2Phfegq6qk7PgUrKOU8k8dQb9mYPw7LfwvQ62pUPb9wLS1ZK1MpXZa3IZsEgjZJkUJPFXmqCcIByF_dnXibcqW7OD4PMpmzjC8ZQppGYg6MbcmePL_0jayQp9gyXk/s1600/k12692542.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="170" data-original-width="159" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltCiH2xtSsYTx9U2Phfegq6qk7PgUrKOU8k8dQb9mYPw7LfwvQ62pUPb9wLS1ZK1MpXZa3IZsEgjZJkUJPFXmqCcIByF_dnXibcqW7OD4PMpmzjC8ZQppGYg6MbcmePL_0jayQp9gyXk/s1600/k12692542.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is important because majority of the apartment
complexes are built in a limited area with small space expanses in between
which also leads to many snubbed behaviours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Social sensitive behaviour index is rated on below
overlooked common behaviours in a community:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1.Quack-Quack in common area: Most commonly seen. It does
look awkward if voices raise and conversations go with no full stop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2.Noisy neighbours – Exchange of discourses can be recorded
from outdoors. Speaking is different from creating noise and it is certainly a
nuisance when heard outside your doors. Few music lovers make it so evident
that playing music with amplifiers with ear splitting decibels is another
oblivious behaviour. Addition to this is noise from children. It is disturbing
to your neighbours if they are screaming, dropping things, or rolling toys on
floor or any disruptions whose result is noise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3.Clean inside filthy outside – Many complain of casting the
garbage either in common area, or throw things downstairs either to road or out
of window if living upstairs. Accompanying this comes a bigger issue of
non-segregation of dry and wet waste, the only reason being irresponsibility of
residents. Because of few recklessresidents, others too are penalised for such
acts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4.Someone’s job is none’s job – Saving electricity and water
is everybody’s job. Irrespective of number of people in each apartment, sharing
comes as equal. So, saving becomes a group accountability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5.Smoking is injurious inside homes too – Another annoying
habit of few residents. No doubt it is your own home, but some habits demand
you to be more cognizant about things around you and its impact within a closed
environment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPkOgeKRSEgXdQGU-7YeRx8ZYXfFv_WIhCCUf9c3BdrGVoTJFsH37yASx8I4oCJau6VH18Z0GdYY4B9BHPm7oGTdAy_3GzFI8TDteLMr79RawSUZc_bw99wvgKyYuhN6_LSLhCkX9QWY/s1600/Honey+bees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="768" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPkOgeKRSEgXdQGU-7YeRx8ZYXfFv_WIhCCUf9c3BdrGVoTJFsH37yASx8I4oCJau6VH18Z0GdYY4B9BHPm7oGTdAy_3GzFI8TDteLMr79RawSUZc_bw99wvgKyYuhN6_LSLhCkX9QWY/s320/Honey+bees.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6.Savoury vs stink – With all the due respect to people’s
various choices, and understanding India is a democratic country, it is equally
important to be sensitive about others inconvenience too when non-vegetarian
food is cooked inside Indian homes. If the odour is too strong, a simple act of
using fresheners or exhaust fan is certainly a caring act.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7.Elevators on hold – Elevators are meant for convenience,
not for entertainment. Wait for elevators, don’t make elevators wait for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8.Parking discipline – Limited space with mutual optimal
usage demands discipline. Parking haphazardly isn't a sign of a licensed
expert. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">9.Sustain your amenities – Starting from the community hall,
gym, swimming pool etc should be considered as collective accountable zones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">10.Live and let live – Easy to advice, challenging to
genuinely extend. It is more significant to be collaborative in a community set
up as small conflicts too grow as bitter correlations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">A dwelling place is just not a financial investment. You are
investing your time, fostering relationships, build memories, grow, develop and
much more which is all a part of life. And as aptly said – Human is a social
animal, and when we draw a territory for ourselves, it is important we
recognize our radius and other’s diameter with circumference & its
extension from where we live.</span><br />

Cryptic? Weird? Strange? As the technology is breeding over, mobile services

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">communication and
contact, messaging service, encompassing range and its shape & size. All is
fine until it knocks our door heavily. But, irony is that we use the technology
not because of its adequacy. Instead our dimensions are diminishing and
degrading with the way we are bestowing it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As you can see the
above conversation, none of the words are complete except “Hi”, and some of
them seem to be senseless. Its a cruel truth that SMS-Short Messaging Service
is growing from Short to Shorter and Shorter to Shortest. And what are we
conceding in all this is a big question. What triggered me to write all this
were two scenarios. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a) My tutor during a
conversation said an examination answer sheet comprised of some short </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">forms that are used in
SMS.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">b) After this, I kept
watching all the mails I receive and some of the chat sessions I had with my
family and friends. If we could provoke further, the results are alarming.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An examination paper
with short terms instead of formal, complete answers and our normal </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">day-to-day
conversations are no more in complete forms. ‘SMS’ was the term introduced for
the mobile services with restricted display. But, what is actually stopping us
in using the complete, sensible, flawless and meaningful sentences and words in
mails and chat sessions, where we have ample of space for body text. Is it our
laziness or eagerness in conveying a message or just a wavy attitude to ignore
it! If we could put aside all our reasons and become a bit result oriented we
have far reaching adverse consequences. The key aspect is due to unnecessary
usage of short forms by which the essence of language is lost.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It’s not only the
grammatical mistakes in sentence formation, but over a period of time the word ‘grammar’
is logically ruled out of our dictionaries. Usage of punctuations, parts of
speech, our vocabulary in written and spoken language just flies away in a star
lit night.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Literary works such as
poetry, essays, novels etc lose their prominence. Classical works written by </span></span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Shakespeare and
Wordsworth seems to generate running stars in our brains. Basically, when these
short forms are used by younger generations, the impacts are still worse.
Children learning ‘English’ literally get confused by different usage patterns.
As they get acquainted to slangs, the word ‘thankq’ makes no difference from
‘Thank you’. ‘gud luk’ is as good as ‘Good Luck’. The word ‘luv’ is as sweet as
‘Love’. ‘ez’ is easier than ‘easy’. They land up in a state of confusion when
they don’t find meanings or synonyms for ‘wanna’ or ‘gonna’ in a dictionary.
So, the one </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">which takes a back
seat here is just not only the written language but also the original
traditional reading habits, and failing to understand the literary works. The
days are not far where we need to have an oxford dictionary beside us to read
an English newspaper.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Note: The above position was for a HR profession who is
actively looking for a job)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By the way,
this isn’t concocted, it is based on a true conversation. Such statements aren’t surprising if you are
in HR profession unless you are in top branded organizations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The above
conversation is factual across bands, grades and experiences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I heard
this, it was a blend of feelings – hiring need, attitude, industry focus, skill
gap and so on. This is true irrespective of years of experience. It is doubly
true if they carry technical skills. And it is triply true if those technical
skills are niche.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Has industry
ruined them so much that they are wanting to earn money in no time. It becomes
super sensitive if we speak about deserve versus desire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have we
competed each other to an extent that candidates have two or three offers to spree
around and yet aren’t sure what to do and we encourage it because we badly want
the position to get filled. Has it ever
made us think on our comprising index! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Most of the
interviewers speak about stability, loyalty and commitment to organization during
interview & offer process and is one of the parameter to consider to offer
them a job. But, yet we overtake it to take a decision. Such traits hold no reverence.
With this culture quotient we want leadership traits to be built within the
organization. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What is written
between lines in the above contexts - <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have no
clue how to define commitment.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have
forgotten how to be courteous.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We don’t know
what we really want.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have no
clue how to be presentable.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have no
patience to earn with endurance.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have no
mutual respect to fellow men.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">More than
all, we have no value towards what profession we are into!!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Behavioral
competency is crucial to deliver a job. But, what behavioral competency are
above scenarios projecting!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Skill gap is
just not with functional or technical competency. Skill gap should also be
evaluated w.r.t personality and how they display through their behavior,
interaction, communication and all small aspects that forms them. Do we have grit
to say we don’t need candidates who don’t display fundamental values! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Summarizing
it all, only few earn money. For the rest, money earns them. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You are alone exploring the world as you are budding, some
you have met right from your birth, who wish you good as they have nurtured and
have witnessed you grow. They protect you because they think you are theirs.
They mount you with love and affection and you develop intense emotions for
them. They handhold thinking you need support unconditionally. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the journey, you have made friends and enemies, some with
no clue. Some you know, some you don’t. Some you hear from, and some you
experience. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Even if man is an animal by theory, he is not a welcome
guest in animal group, because he is too intelligent to sustain. He is powerful
and his main power is intelligence, power of taking control – control of others
and their lives which seems to be a threat for theirs. Just
not in animal kingdom, isn’t it the reality in human empire too. Others get
threatened with one’s intelligence and constantly wants to be in power. Power
of any form in a definite territory.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You get an identity with the genes you carry, and if you
seem to be a threat based on past experiences or based on the growth you have
or based on danger you may pose to others built on their assumptions, they try
to uproot you. Either you obey the supremacy or you fight it out. But when you
know you are in a forest and the king is the authority, you have no other prospect
to let go and move on to explore yet another world. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Along the journey you meet-</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Akela and Raksha and many other guardians who are extremely
affectionate and always want to see you good. They trust you completely, they
protect you and guide you. They teach you values of life and to endure. You may
never be able to repay their affection. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You meet Bagheera who seems to be tough, but loves you and
mentors you to beat your own record. It’s rare to find such species, beware of
loosing. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You meet many unknown hands who help you in various ways,
but you will have one cheerful Baloo who loves you, who sticks to you, loves to
spend time with you, but won’t tell you that they love you so much. They stand
for you when the time is testing. They are worth an asset</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You also meet materialistic Louie, who is interested to
extract your best and may do anything with you later. They are the people
constantly who are on look-out for power and control. Taking advantage of
situation, people and time runs constantly at their backend.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Oh! How sweet, they are my best well wishers. I can’t even
think anyone can be protective than them. It seems that I will go to sleep eyes
opened with them, they sound to be so caring and shielding. Hey Buddy! More
than half the world are sweet stabbers. You don’t know they might gulp you
until the last minute. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Should there be a special mention of someone who hates you
from every angle. Challenge is that they might not fight with you openly as ShereKhan
but they display their animosity evidently. They are mighty and dominant – it’s
apparent and obvious. You have no option apart from facing it. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hard-hitting things might land up in various forms of
challenge, struggles, tussles and disputes. You may try sharing and helping
someone, and from other end same party may snatch things from you. There are
many who aren’t bothered about your existence, and there are many who takes you
as a coexister until you seem to be a menace to them. There are few who would
help you in return if you help them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">multifaceted, I rerouted myself to abstract the
essence and obscurity of the relations we develop in life, the ripened trust in
those relations, affection we show and expect things out from other end. I
reflected more on expectations due to my latest experience in expecting from
other end. I was uneasy when it did not happen, was anxious until I lessened my
impatience, kind of worried and upset as well. But, I could regulate myself is
definitely another story to write. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">EXPECTATION – appears as a combination of emotions such as ‘Anticipation,
Hopefulness, Likelihood, Prospect, Desire, Want, Wish, Dream, Yearn’ … though they
aren’t synonyms for expectation, they stand as kind of reserves for it which
takes different forms and outlines in the binding of the bond. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">· </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Why do we expect in relationships!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">· </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">What kind & magnitude of love and affection
do we relate to in these interactions! Do we associate a need for emotional
love in these associations! Is it the general psychological human tendency!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">·</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-stretch: normal; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Much better a question is what part of us feels
good, and what are we trying to guard ourselves from, by sensing these
expectations to come true!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Evolutionary psychology states that the conception of
emotions were enabled in limbic system and have evolved with time and the
natural selection was towards adapting emotions to solve problems, protect
ourselves and our clans, survive desperate circumstances and procreate. I feel
there is a strong link between our ego and our emotions. Under the classic Freudian psychological set
up, I believe, there is this ID, your
mode of being “I need what I want’, it is drive to crave in the name of
requirement. The superego is you in your ethical & moral self (if you have
it), it is the belief of yes vs no that’s hoarded over years of upbringing embedded with life
experiences. Both these phases of want,
influences judgments and outlook we mature which has emotions at all phases. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, why do we expect!!
It all drills down to a separate self-sensed illusion, our ego trying to
get something for itself to compensate for a deep desire of fulfilling an
aspiration or probably might erupt out of feeling of insecurity or absence of
something which might be due to a perception or sheer comparison. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ego boosts when we see what we expected becomes a reality,
senses feel excited about it. On the contrary, if it does not... what we term it
as reality, pushes us in disturbed and distressed mode.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is definitely a general human psychological want to love
and be loved. Why!!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love is an emotion that brings us joy(or sorrow!!! -
relative term). Feelings of personal attachment since childhood, it can relate
to any other relation that gets associated in later part of life. It can take
forms of fondness, affection, passion including romance. But, the experience of love is been taught
and adapted in such a way to give and take. And the TAKE form takes a form in
the form of EXPECTATION. The magnitude
and its style will differ because it’s our sheer individual acuity. Sometimes
we expect from others because we would be willing to do that much for them. And
equally forget at that moment that the other individual is just like a discrete
character like us whose sensitivities and emotions are theirs own and might not
be applicable to be equivalent. There
are quite a lot of inspirational quotes to advice not to expect,’ expectation
brings disappointment’, ‘lesser you expect, more you are happy’ so on and so
forth. When I feel an emotion of soreness probably because of expectation, I
re-look at myself with some tinge of self-awareness which positively brings me
back to actuality and puts me in ease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I rethink on expectations – Majority of our Expectations is
very near to ideal world. A united realm of perfectionism. It’s time to revisit
those attached expectations and evaluate how near is it to reality.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have started enumerating the number of people who often
dishearten me by failing in not meeting expectations. By accepting the feeling
of disappointment I am favoring myself to be more nigh to practicality which
helps me from drawing a pattern on subsequent behaviors of few people in the
list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Very significant element I ascertain is the difference
between expectation, influence and dependence – We often disregard dependence
in close relationships by imparting expectations. The closer is the
relationship, proportional is the expectation because it usually gets
emotionally committed. It is sometimes
amusing the way we think and the way we would have got influenced and behind
the brain the comparison in the form of want would be ticking. Yes! I am
speaking of media, movies, and a dream world which plays a very prominent role
in the way we think and way we dream. Expectations to lead life just like on a
silver screen is a mirage and there is a difference between real and reflective
illusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Real world advices don’t expect. Expect world says it’s
natural to expect and hope. Funnily discovering a safe route is mystified. </span></div>
