The Bells of New Year

Source: weclipart

All across the world when the night arrives

on this special day we say bye together and welcome new lights.

The nights are not darker its full of bright lights

Some are man made, some are natural

to welcome the happy times.

With the hopes that this year will be lucky for all

and will bring peace and prosperity never before

We celebrate togetherness and dance/drink away fears all night.

But somewhere between all this

There are lives which has no change

There are people whose day and night are still same

There are families struggling to get a bread even today

There are wives waiting for their husbands who are marching at the end

There are children who are waiting for their parents to be back home sooner

Lonely parents in wait of their loved ones.

Why the pyramid is so skewed 

Why there is no single day when all are one and have equal rights?

A sudden wish came to my mind

Today I will not dance away my fears in this artificial lights.

I will make a difference by helping few children celebrate this day with their parents on time

I will make a difference by caring for those elders who many not see tomorrow's light

I will make a difference in my attitude and way of living

I will make a difference to those who potentially never get a chance to be the one they want

I will make a difference to myself and then may be one day the world will celebrate together

As one entity, as one human being and as one whole unit which we should be.

The bells of new year will ring and slow down

But the music this difference will make remains forever in our heart.

What if you need to use a product to introduce yourself?

Recently, I was interviewed by a firm where they asked me to choose a product to introduce myself. Weird as it sounds, it was actually more interesting to perform. For my better understanding and to keep it simple, I chose Eyeliner.

As we all know that Eyeliners are known for Striking color, Giving Bold Look, Long Lasting appearance and it has Brush as a tool to apply. Similarly, I tried to portray my persona with the qualities this product has.

Below is the summary of what I thought, if you have any feedback please do share:

"When we talk about its Striking black color, it gives your eyes a look of attention demanding, the color black signifies the power, strength and elegance with itself and so am I as an individual. Whatever in my life I have achieved or ups and down I came across I always had that inner strength which helped me to succeed and grow stronger. 

As an example I can relate when I was interning in Singapore with a firm, they offered me a full time role but it took about 5 months visa to process due to internal issues within the organization. Rather than crying or thinking about its repercussion’s I did freelance work to gain experience and understand more about Marketing.  This not only gave me strength but also bold nature to face adversities and happiness with both hands just like Eyeliner which gives bold look.

To add Eyeliner main quality is that it gives a long lasting and long wearing look which helps you to look same and always on your mark all the time. I can relate this quality of Eyeliner with dependability as any organization or group or family I have worked with they always used to believe in me that the work assigned will be done on time no matter how hard it will be, there will be a possible solution which I will find our either by myself or consulting others.

To quote an instance once with my former organization Accenture – my Boss had to go on sudden leave of 1 month and we had a deliverable to be presented to client. I had little idea of what needs to be done, rather than panicking in this situation, I learnt the process which needs to be done and with the help of seniors successfully delivered the expected outcome of the project.

Last but not the least the brush is the tool of eyeliner without which its other qualities will not be able to reach out to masses and that tool which helps all my qualities to reach out to you is research ability and confidence. I believe whatever is presented in view of others needs to be well researched and to be present with sheer confidence to leave impact. This is my tool which I always carry with me with smile."

From XS to Plus Size

Since last year, I have been reading various articles suggesting how to grow your business. But I realized every idea had a limitation and an advantage, so how do you decide what is correct and what is not for you depend upon your Decision Making Skill to a larger extent at the end. Many of you will disagree with me on my point of view towards the same and that's what the ideas and implementation all about.

I have been working with a startup for 2 years now. When I joined, I used to think working on my Sale Lead Generation will help company to grow from XS profit figures to plus size. But until I realized, its a domino effect, your only focus on one aspect of Business effects the rest of Business. To grow, you can't keep on focusing on one window. Its a series of steps to be considered and in return its a recurring cycle where each and every step requires nurture and time to time support.

From Employee to sales to profit to continuous growth in different countries, every step requires detailed focus and implementation of ideas. If you will put faith in your Employees and let them work on their business aspect, the way they want with a minimal interference, you will be amazed to see the flow of ideas and its implementation. Rather then just working on Profit figures, its more important to work on the process to reach there. Online or Offline, both process needs to be tried and tested depending upon your market needs and budget.

Trying to limit you undue expenditure from Plus Size to XS and investing more in the growth can surely help you to achieve what you want to.

Various Moods of a Lady

While talking to my flatmate last week I realized that we Women are so different! I must say so difficult. Its not easy to understand us at all, what we are saying, thinking, expecting or any thing I can think of.

This space is going to be less if I keep on writing everything peeping in my head, after all I am a lady and I am confused, may be stubborn, may be over thinking, may be independent. 

We have all the colors which a Men can never understand. After all emotions Men count are just - happy, anger, sad (may be) - its too much to hurt their ego to be sad, moody at times.

But we women what all emotions or moods we carry with us. While thinking about this I just thought why don't I create some names and take opinion of the world, understand what they think about emotions a Lady has.

Have you ever seen a women laughing and suddenly crying like a "LAUGHCRY". This is hilarious we women when we are happy can cry as well and we name it as happy tears. Common what are they just stupid outburst of our uncontrolled emotions!

Or you have ever seen a women crying and then suddenly happy like a child, naming it as "CRYHAP". What will you call this a wire spark in our head. 

Sometimes I don't even understand after a happy day how can I just cry after seeing a book or a couple or a missing train, naming it as "ANYTIMECRY". We are crazy and fault is not ours, its into us from birth. Accept it or move ahead we give a shit.

Have it ever happened to you that you were too angry on someone and you had to shout over them but your emotions get a toll over you. So while shouting you actually started crying and that person thinks that you are sorry that's why you are crying. So Men I want to clear this we cry because we are hurt at that time. This a different emotion may be "ANGERCRY" which you guys can never understand.

Not only this when our menstrual cycle arrives DO NOT EVER MESS WITH US, we can screw your happiness and you will never imagine why we are doing that. Its just our hormones which are forcing us to behave like this. Not our fault. This emotion of our is "PERIODEMO". We have mix of mood swings, you can see all at once during this time. If you want to experience just contact your wife.

Last week I discovered a totally new emotion into me "LOVECRY"- which can be for anyone your parents, lover, husband, siblings. Just because you are missing them, or you are meeting them after long or you are just calling them, you can see tiny droplets rolling down your eyes and saying "Hey Friend! I am here with you!". 

So Men these are not the only ones I can think of, these are just the critical ones which you can come across every single day. We have hundreds of other emotions, keep exploring us and we will keep loving you!

Do Internships Really Help post MBA?

Source: Skyschooley

I think this question is posed by each and every student on this earth to someone who has completed his graduation/post graduation or any relevant studies over the time. I was too in the impression till the time I got an opportunity to work with a start up based in Singapore and finally converting it as a full time opportunity.

When we join any institution 90% of students fear about placements. There is nothing else which come in their mind, it all revolves around their future. But have we ever thought about it what else we are doing apart from studies which stands us apart from crowd. There are million of students out there competing every single minute and we are just a part of it. So why a company should hire us? What is making us different? These all stupid or intelligent thoughts runs in our mind every single second till the time we achieve something. 

To give you an idea how internships helped me developed into a Marketing Professional here's my story. Interning at a start up is really difficult as there are no set rules and regulations. Everything is trial and test phase at start.So in a way you learn a lot, not only by peers but by yourself. This internship taught me to apply my marketing tools in a better way and taught a better approach of viewing service industry. I learned about content marketing, social media marketing and many more as I am still learning. Not only this while suggesting marketing strategies I learned that each strategy needs to be financially and operationally weighed along with viability.

I also learned that for every target segment there needs be different marketing strategies because each target segment is different and needs different attention. I also learned how consultative selling is done and why it is necessary for a salesperson to do their homework in terms of problems their target group face so that they can use maximum of that problem.

I also learned about business research and what all needs to be considered while customizing services according to client needs and market. At the last conducting a feasibility study provided new avenue to the company as they are looking for expanding in different business model and also gave me on job experience on working for such studies. At the end company marketing team was built and what all can be the hardships face while selling these kind of informal services were understood.

Internship helped me to develop holistically as I was the only one who was handling Marketing part. I got involved into four aspects of Management which gave me fair and broader idea to deal with things. The areas where I worked were:

·         Brand Management

·         Sales and Business Development

·         Marketing

·         Research

As this industry was totally new to me and I had no experience in selling services, it taught me that there is nothing right or wrong in Marketing. Ideas are being made to try and test. There is nothing like perfect until you fine tune it and try it out. Also it gave me chance to fine tune my software skills along with marketing skills.

The best part of internship was that I was directly involved in signing of deals and execution of strategies proposed by me which gave me a better idea that which strategies can work in which kind of environment. I was also directly involved in working with Owners of the firm which gave me exposure and new ideas for the company. For me it was very fruitful and helped me to become a better professional. Plus you stand apart as you have already put your hands in various domains. I personally believe before starting your career get into some internships and understand what you are good at and how you can fine tune that. I hope my little story helps you a long way.

A Vision Surmounted!!

"Mr. Steven, Get up!!" Dr. Marie kept on yelling. She took me in her arm. She was crying. I could see her wet eyes.

She was a doctor by profession. She used to come home often, as my father was ill...He liked her and wanted her to be with us in every ups and downs of life…Be it Schaum (my elder brother, who was 14 at that time) or my father, everyone admired her. I loved her too as she used to give me my favorite chocolate every time she came home...

I was 8 when my father died. He was suffering from disease called Progressive Myopathy (incurable those days). It’s a duhan disease. Only few people knew about it at that time. Soon after father left us Dr. Marie moved into our house. We needed her and in some way she too was in need of our family. I was too small to understand the word 'death'. It was a new word for me. I used to ask my brother, “Where is father? He promised me to take for ride this summer; he said he will be alright”. He was unanswerable.

Time went on, I tried to move ahead but time was holding me tight.

Same scene happened few days later. One day when I came back from school, I saw Dr Marie weeping. I quickly went to her and asked, “Aunt what happened?” She didn’t reply, remained moan for hours. That day I could see my brother in the same dreadful condition as my father was. He couldn’t move himself, could not eat anything, his condition was getting worse day by day.

Every time he woke up from his sleep, he tried to find me with his blue eyes. I remember he had sparkling blue eyes which could captivate anyone. Earlier, when he was well, we used to go to the beach every weekend. He just loved beaches. As an elder brother, he used to hold my hands. We used to walk for hours at the beachside, play with sand and fight over collecting shells and pebbles. He used to push me in the waters, which I hated the most. There was a bench near the shore. It was his favorite place. He used to sit with me there and used to say, “I want to become a doctor, just like Dr Marie. The other day she was telling me that there is some incurable disease called ‘Progressive Myopathy’ on which she is doing research. I want to do the research too on such kind of diseases." Out of curiosity I used to ask "Brother who is a doctor? What is a disease? What is research?" He always gave a little smile and said “You will come to know about each and everything Joan, be patient.”

“Where are you Joan?” I could hear the whisper clearly. I ran quickly towards him and asked, “Brother were you calling me?”He tried to hold my hand. I held him tightly with my arms. He smiled, with his dull face continuously gazing at me. He asked me to come near him and said "Joan, you remember, I told you about a disease on which Marie Aunt was doing research.” “Yes, I remember brother.”“I always dreamt of becoming a doctor but now I couldn’t. That disease killed our father and now it’s me.” As he said those words, blood in my veins freezed . I could see the pain in his eye. I held him tight and said, “You don’t worry brother. I will never let you go. You will be alright. We have to go to Marona beach this weekend. You promised me bro”. Tears rolled down my eyes. It was the last time he spoke to me and those were the last words of him. The very next morning Marie Aunt told me that Schaum (My elder brother) passed away last night. I went near to him. He was completely blue and cold. I was trying to wake him. But he was in deep sleep from which he could never ever wake up. That night, I decided that I would be a doctor some day. I would realize my brother’s dream.

The day when my brother expired hurricane ‘Isabella’ hit the sea. It was a complete disaster all around. Many people lost their life due to water, and my brother lost his life due to the disease. There was death and hunger all around. It led to emptiness in many lives. There was silence in the sea as well as in the life of many. The sea became normal after few days and I was back to my monotonous routine. Marie Aunt and I now moved to Seattle, 100miles from our home town. I forgot the bad days of my life. But the only thing I remembered was the word ‘doctor’. I grew up with the determination of fulfilling my brother’s dream.

Years passed and it was my 16 birthday today. She made my favorite garlic toast that morning. We went to the church for blessings and after that I went to the nearby park behind my college to spend some lone time with my favorite bench there. I had already decided to realize my brother’s dream. While sitting I was recalling my past. I had no friends in Seattle. All I used to share is with it was with my ‘bench’. In every phase of life, it was there with me. Never demanded anything just listened to me. It was my last visit to the bench as I was moving out of the town for higher studies.

I studied hard for next 8 years and became doctor. I then got a call from ‘American Institute of Research and Development’ for my internship. Days went by and through my hard work and determination I finally found out the vaccine for the ‘Progressive Myopathy.’ The very moment I found the vaccine, I rushed up to call Marie Aunt. She could easily recognize the enthusiasm in my voice. “Son you finally found the vaccine, you realized mine and Schaum’s dream. I am proud of you my child. Now come back soon dear. It has been years away from you.” I finally packed up my bags and moved back to town.

Before going to Seattle, I went to my home town to visit my brother’s favorite beach, to visit the place where my brother spent his life, to the place where my brother breath last. It was the brother who took me to that beach every time. But today I was standing all alone. I missed my brother so much. Tears rolled down my eyes. But I was happy after so many years. I finally could realize his dream. I could find vaccine of the disease which ruined many families including mine. I understand that death is inevitable, but I don’t want any Joan to lose his family due to that killer disease.

The same night after visiting my home, I went back to Seattle. I saw Aunt Marie in such happy mood after so long. She was overwhelmed by emotions. She hugged me. She kissed me. If she was not there I would have been nowhere. She bought me up like a mother. She becomes my brother when I need, my father when I miss him. I lost my family but I got her. She threw a big party on my return. I was awarded ‘Young Medical Scientist award’ from ‘Medical Scientists Association’ of America.

“Aunt, thanks for everything.”

She hugged me and smiled, “Son, I should be thankful to you, you made it! I love you my child.”

“I love you too Aunt.”

Cheers spread all around.

I only wish I could do anything for my dad, for my brother. Brother once told me, “You will come to know about each and everything Joan, be patient.” Today is the day when I know it all, but alas, I lost him, I lost him forever…

About Me

Hello guys this is Nikita out here....I am an engineer by profession in 2 year Computer Science branch...
This blog is just the review of my views encapsulated in words..do comment on them and give your suggestions...waitin...

Some lines from the core of my heart:-

"Walking down the memory alley
I realized that I was developing odiousity towards my every way..
I was such an oaf that
I couldn't realized what's my destination
kept on walking in my wild imagination...
Dreamt of bigger life but got nothing
thought of manifesting myself but remained shrinked...
I was obliterating myself
I knew that very well
There was moribund in my career
due to these reasons...
But now I am obdurate about what to do,
and weaving my future to bloom......."
