eArTh dAY - 2010
Today is Earth Day. The day of the planet, which should be celebration day for everyone. Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment and it is observed by more than 500 million people and several national governments in 175 countries. It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson.
As I was on the way to work, was listening to FM 94.3, the show aired by RJ. Prithvi. He had put for the contest as “What would be your contribution to the Earth Day”. In this show, I found an elderly lady answering that, she would ask her children not to reproduce. For a moment, I started thinking would this be the right way, wherein we would be hampering the Eco-system.I feel, we should "Restore the resources”, “Reduce the usage of exhaustible resources”, “Recycle the biodegradable products”, “Reuse the usable things”

Royal Challengers Bangalore VS Kings XI Punjab
It was a good day yesterday. It was a festive and the family meets for the lunch. At the same time, had the tickets for IPL Match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Hence had to rush and friends were waiting. This was the first time I had watched the match live in the stadium. It was a good time and found sometime for myself in the busy schedules. I was so excited to watch RCB, as I was in support to it. Finally it ended well, where RCB Won.

Why Me to Why Not Me
Saturday ended well as I got to speak to my friend. It was a good feeling to open up to the dear ones. I really felt relaxed and now I know at least someone is there to with whom I can always go back and talk without thinking twice. We had been to Coffee day, my favorite hangout all the time. We started up with a tropical iceberg and then I vented up on him with all recent happenings at my side. Well need to thank to his patience level as he was listening to me without a tint of ignorant on face, which I really felt good.
As the talks went on I realized that I have transformed from “WHY ONLY ME” to “WHY NOT ME” state of mind. I felt that I have been assigned this task which means as I can deliver or I am capable of doing it. I got a morale support which I was thirst of.. It is always good time to spend with friends as you feel relaxed. Finally for that day at least all went on well with a smile on my face which I felt “aLL iS wElL”

Flashback
I had logged into one of the old email account, then noticed in the drafts, a forward mail which i had kept for reference... It reads as:
One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?" His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo see. I would not quit." He said.
"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant...But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He said to me.
"Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots?"
"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you."
"Don't compare yourself to others." He said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
"Your time will come", God said to me. "You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
I left the forest and bring back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
HE will never give up on you!
Stay Blessed

About Myself - Company's Newsletter
Interviewing the Interviewer
This month, we decided to know a little more about the person who would have interviewed most of us. Yes. I am talking about Daffodil. She is the person who is handling the roles of a recruitment specialist and at the same time shouldering responsibilities of a HR generalist.
Tell us something about yourself.
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less
Its very interesting and dangerous as well, as i tried to disturb them, then all spread wide to sting me.. Oops
None of them want to be proved wrong; rather would like some compliments or appreciations. We tend to like people who will keep up the beliefs of others and know to respect their individual’s decisions.
To this, Daffodil became reluctant and after a while, gave a sneak preview to her career. She looked back in time and remembered the early days when she had joined IIHT. It's been 1.4 years now and she mentions that this journey has been quite experiential.
Tell us about your experience at IIHT
Daffodil mentioned that she has a total of 4.8 years of experience out of which 1.4 years have been spent being associated with IIHT. Prior to this, she was handling IT recruitment for Thomson Reuters. She mentions that IIHT has been very proactive in understanding her potential and she was handling the roles of a HR generalist in no time. This was apart from her key result area of being a recruitment specialist. She mentions that this journey at IIHT has been a great learning for her and wishes to continue to provide support to the organization and learn from it at the same time.
What are you looking forward to at IIHT?
To this, she mentions that the great thing about IIHT is that the organization treats everyone equally and there is no discrimination between a fresh hire and a veteran. She wishes to put in place some recognition program wherein the employees are recognized on various grounds for the wonderful job that they have been doing. She mentions that this is a great way to boost employee motivation and enhance their
morale.

What do you do in your free time?
Daffodil mentions that she barely manages to find some free time. But when she does, she spends it talking to her friends and derives great joy out of it. Though not an avid reader, she still manages to take some time out and read books

Discussion
I was supposing to handover a offer letter to the person for the role of Manager – Legal. So I dropped in one of the discussion room and gave the letter. In meanwhile I was inquisitive to know the laws as he comes with 28 years of experience in different laws like Labor, Criminal, Companies, Consumer etc.
So I threw few questions for which he started answering wherein the process of knowledge sharing started. I felt too good as it was long time I has such conversations as most of the time I end up in speaking of not much use. Some of the points where really impressive, that was said by him. Below are few which you might also like:
1. The situation where one of the disciple of Plato asked to Plato, “What is the meaning of the word “Justice”? The answer given was “It is what is due”. This context applies in all situations where the word “Justice” is used.
2. The conversation between the Ex – President of Australia while climbing down the stairs from some meeting and the other person in the crowd said, “You are fallen”, for which the President replied: “It was a slip”. The is a vast difference between “Fall” (Completely Lost) and “Slip” (One has just missed it”. It really inspired me.
3. He quoted some words saying “There is a hidden man in each person, which needs to be awaken, aroused” for which, I feel that’s where one lacks.
4. He also referred even an idiot has some skill which normal man cannot understand. I feel for that idiot, we are idiots as we are unable to understand what is conveyed.
5. One more important line was “Success can be achieved by two kinds of People, one with born intelligence and the other with hardship” where 2% of them are born intelligence and 20% with hardship would reach the sky.
6. The bottom line was “ There should be fire in the belly to go up, without which nothing can be achieved”.

Reply for a forwarded mail
I got a mail forwarded my friend, for which another friend has replied as below:
If Columbus had been married, he might never have discovered America , because he would have had to answer all the following questions:
- Where are you going? ---- To be away from you
- With whom? ---- Not with Women again
- Why? - To get peace of mind
- How are you going? – Certainly not going to tell you
- To discover what? --- My lost happiness
- Why only you? -- BcozI like to be alone once again
- What do I do when you are not here? - Last thing you can do is “Not to remember me”
- Can I come with you? - Then I stay.. you go…
- When will you be back? - Good question
- What will you bring for me? - If I come back then I would think
- You deliberately made this plan without me, didn't you? -Well guessed it…
- You seem to be making a lot of these programs lately... – Understood the value of being lonely
- Answer me – why? --- Certain things not to be disclosed
- I want to go to my mother’s house. – PLEASE PLEASE do
- I want you to drop me there. --- For the last time right
- I don’t want to come back – ever! -- WOW
- What do you mean, OK? - I am very Happy
- Why aren't you stopping me? -- Do I look like a fool to you..

- You always do things like this. --- Yes,, very much important
- Last time also you did the same thing! – That did not worked out.. so now I want to do it again
- Nowadays you always seem to do this kind of stuff. --- You know it… it feels good to be away from trauma
- I still don’t understand what else is left to be discovered! ---- Apart from you.. everything is there to discover, certainly I do not want to discover you again.

Thoughts flowing in me
- Life is so simple, but the situations makes it so complicated where one would have lost that ability to understand the simplicity
- The difference between the attitude and the arrogance. One should know when to be arrogant and when to throw attitude.
- Change is permanent, everything else is momentary
- Time is lovely waves which pass only once with its imprints left behind
- All are only characters in a play, where one would have a definite role to stage
Gyaan
Today came across a situation, where I found the following needs to be known by a hiring manager before hiring a person:
One should know for which a person is been hired
One should know what needs to get done from the person hired
The one hired should know what he/she knows to do
If these points are crystal clear, most of the work can be offloaded and will fall in place. But if one fails to know this prior, trust me it a mess for a HR, Hiring Manager and the applicant.

Perception
Perception will drastically change with times. It is just the formation of concept and a process of conceiving: cognizance by the senses or intellect. Everyone has deep pre-conceived perceptions, beliefs and views of all that is important to them. This is something, which would shape the individuality and make one unique.
To change these beliefs and views to that of another person's, especially when there is change, is not prudent. The immediate reaction to persuasion is to resist, defend and reject even when they are wrong. If one does succeed in overcoming the refusal, they might concede reluctantly after repeated attempts. Then might misunderstand that person, for making them aware, they are wrong about what they believed or felt was right in the first place.
