How bout startin your day with big words?....umm.. like,... honesty, loyalty, truth, values, commitment, devotions, Harmony?
its quite typical of human nature that you get a sense of boredom while listening to a lecture, but not while, watchin the gossip programs on movie stars. the later amuse us for some time, and then we forget those, on the other hand lessons mean learning, and thats where you say, ....get some extract out of the whole time spend discussin that n all.
Today morning, is one amongs the very early ones for me, n I'm out on the road around 7:30 AM. besides perceptin by default, that people around are lazy, the reality doesnt seem too similar. there are people around at this hour, ..... just a bit less from the peak time, so a dream of seein wide roads, restin in peace remains the dream and i, just move on.
I expect todays' trainin to be somethin related to companies work policies...., being effective, a how to session?
bein effective at home? at work? at ???....there are more of conversations, which I m tryin recollectin now, as part of my day activities. some are verbals others bein mute. I think I'm gonna hang around them in most of my passages....
there are some made-easy interview sessions been arranged. the interviewee isnt much visible to me, so I m fine with analysing his/her voice. while the whole bunch of people sittin are on the job, My mind is more on towards the interviewer, what question he's askin!, is he really prepared, whats goin on his mind......???
3 interviews, each of one kind. on first, I have no comments, second, the interviewer seems fine, but interviewee is determind, in third, I feel both are diggers, one diggin on assertive note, n another thinking of the worst, well! both are good for a team! thinkers with the poise!
In the mean time, I mind takes a round of everythin goin around, some issues, some solutions, some notes, I pass them on the paper each time that hits me in the front. but again thats actually givin a doubt, m notin down the training stuff to few. pen still movin.
We have just started with the word values,..... people coming up with the diction search,.... I think of Gagan ( the second interviewee) sittin in the front row, isnt he an immature me? "Innocent he is", that what I tell (later) Ratan (the trainer). But same reminds me of another trainin session, where I learned(?) a polite way of sayin "Fool" is sayin "you're innocent" (now a days?).
As I'm a born critic, the speaker types, I do utter, "Gagan, would suggest that, you listen, till the other person is done, a complete sentence might have some other meaning, then what the half sentence may contain" he lets me finish what I have to say, But looks like I have paused a bit early. he replies back immediately "this is the feed back given to me earlier also" and everyone around hits him, look, you're still not listening.
I was right! I was a bit like him too, I wanted to say more, Raj told me sometime back, its not necessary to revert everytime, I got that right! One can only listen to other and take the words if that other is a trusty. else its just mere feedback. Sardarji turn out to be emotional too later in the day, as he says, why did that was said in the interview! I had the answer, but this time........I was silent.
while we discuss more on values, we have been given this exercise, called "life value inventory" to do. I take the sheets, one the first page, I write my initials, I suddenly wonder if someone is monitorin me? "NO-one" cool, but wait its me! ownership, is what i just displayed. .......I'm firm now, I turn the pages, there are the questions and their think alike scale points raising from 1 to 5.
while I'm busy reading and calculatin my potions,.... one corner of my mind has already envisioned, wht the result is. Ok! my truth is almost here. I couldn't help but laugh, and this time, I'm caught.... I dint realized though if Ratan has stopped me for askin why did I laugh? Anyways, I tell him the truth, its like playin tricks to urself. eveyone wants to be honest, wants other to say he/she's honest, but might act otherwise most of the time with out realizin it.
what all values we know, and we follow, and on what scale? I wrote another post sometime back "we are building values, inheritance?" I recall the story of Raghu Dixit, his come back, as he told me. I'm some more examples in front of me now.
there is this story of Lufthansa ( the comeback of the century), and anther of Genral Motors, I hear what Sumanta Ghosal (London business school) has to say. .....focus vs. energy. .....vision vs misson, .....people vs materials,.. hmm! all that happens in a level high or low on daily basis, sometime tiny n unnoticed. you relate it with what you know. you think at your own pace. you do it at your level, and you do it up to your level.
not all the time, this sort of sessions end up as one day job, there are people who re-analyse themselves while in the process, there are people who questions and criticize their own persona and as well of others, and there are few who just go with a satisfaction, that yet another day is over, and finally we had been able to finish this long but mandatory session. for me..... all re the winners :)
My day is not finished yet, while I'm sweatin, shiftin stuff and pullin all my belongings in my mouse, I'm satisfied I've managed to do so on my own yet another time, though there is no provin to anyone, but some time havin confidence that you can be independent serves as desert
No idea if its been a long day, or somethin else, which has slowed me down, I'm wonderin If I'm in no hurry, mobile was left @ home, carryin no watch, I've no idea what the exact time is....... must be around 8 PM n mouse is slowly movin on mahrauli-gurgaon road, I'm busy drivin, thinkin, wondering walkin would have been good option.
I m thinkin about some 10K people I saw in the morning, walkin, cyclin on gurgaon roads, goin to there work, do we really have poverty in our country? I ask myself, what do we need? money? or values? ....there are half of the people pretendin to live below povertry line! some sure poor, but at the end of the day, money doesnt help, what helps is a proper attitude, but can I imagine, these 10K people I see on the road, attendin a session on values? they might add some more values to it then the one doin because they are forced to do so..
I move on, this red scares many alike of my mouse, the longest waitin time you'll come across on any signal on your way GZB to GGN or opposite, I'm silently waiting for it to turn green, some one seekin my attention, I look to wagon-r's foot ahead of me, a liitle boy, in green shirt is callin me, for what? ........well! to be a part of his play! he's doin some gigs jumping from the seat behind to the foot, playin a little hide and seek..... exchangin smiles, we get busy, and I forget the green ahead. next moment I remembe is, I watch him waivin a bye, he understood, that our play is over, and we are on our own ways, he makes sure, that I do my bit of adieu too, he's there till I' pass his car over.....
it seems I'm runnin now..... guess tiredness was over, I'm finally home, though I want to do so many things, before endin my day, I' hand all of 'em on , includin writin this, to the comin day.
My eyes closed, I'm seein that notepad, the only note while in the session I noted on the paper,
"only perceptions are changed in to reality, and nothing else"
It was 
I think about the words my father said few days back, 
"wish it could be true"
I miss your piercing glare
Someone will hold your hand tonight
